SYSTEM

Sprinkler System Operation (General)

Sprinkler System Operation (General)

An automatic sprinkler system is a network of pipes and regularly spaced sprinkler heads normally located at roof/ceiling level that is connected to a source of water. In most configurations, the sprinkler head is sealed closed by a mechanism (typically a glass bulb) that is designed to release when heated to a set fixed temperature, allowing water to discharge, strike the sprinkler head’s deflector and form an umbrella-like spray pattern over the fire. Each sprinkler head operates independently. In most cases a flow switch is integrated with the system. When the flow switch detects the flow of water, it sends an electronic signal to the building alarm system which then sounds an audible alarm and notifies the fire department that the system has been activated.
