Components:

  1. Sprinkler Heads: Distribute water when triggered by heat.
  2. Piping System: Delivers water from a pressurized source to sprinkler heads.
  3. Alarm Valve: Monitors water flow and activates alarms when the system is engaged.
  4. Water Supply: Connected to a reliable water source, such as a dedicated tank or municipal supply.

Functionality:

  • Automatic Activation: Sprinkler heads activate individually based on localized heat, extinguishing or controlling the fire.
  • Heat Detection: Utilizes a heat-sensitive element to detect rising temperatures.
  • Alarm Notification: Activates alarms to alert occupants and emergency services.
  • Localized Response: Limits water discharge to the affected area, minimizing collateral damage.
  • Compliance: Meets regulatory standards, often a mandatory safety requirement for buildings.
