| Types | Wet Pipe Fire Sprinkler | Dry Pipe Fire Sprinkler | Pre-Action Fire Sprinkler |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | A wet pipe fire sprinkler utilises a network of pipes filled with water under pressure. In the event of a fire, the system’s sprinkler heads, activated by heat, immediately release water to extinguish or control the flames. | A dry pipe fire sprinkler holds air under pressure in pipes, while water is held back a valve. Upon fire detection, air releases, triggering the valve to open and water flows to extinguish the fire. | A pre-action fire sprinkler merges the characteristics of both wet and dry systems. It requires two triggers to activate: first, a fire detection signal that fills the system with water, and then heat triggers the individual sprinkler heads to spray water. This setup prevents accidental water discharge. |
| Ideal For | Ideal for areas with stable, warm temperatures, such as residential buildings, office spaces, and commercial properties. | Ideal for unheated spaces and areas prone to freezing temperatures, such as cold storage facilities. | Ideal for environments where accidental water discharge could be particularly damaging, such as data centres/server rooms, libraries, museums, and archival storage facilities |

How Do Fire Sprinklers Work?
Fire sprinkler systems are engineered with precision to activate in response to high temperatures indicative of a fire. Each sprinkler head has a heat-sensitive element, typically a glass bulb filled with a glycerin-based liquid or a fusible metal alloy. These elements are designed to respond at predetermined temperatures ranging from 135–165°F (57–74°C).
Upon reaching the designated temperature, the heat causes the liquid in the glass bulb to expand or the metal alloy to melt. This action results in breaking the bulb or melting the alloy link, which releases a valve. This valve has been retaining water under pressure within the system’s piping. Once released, the water is expelled from the sprinkler head, spreading over a broad area through a deflector designed to maximise coverage and impact on the fire.
The innovation behind automatic fire sprinkler systems ensures that only those sprinkler heads in direct contact with the fire activate, allowing for targeted suppression and minimising unnecessary water damage. This mechanism and the system’s autonomous functionality, offers effective, around-the-clock fire protection, highlighting the critical role of fire sprinklers in safeguarding both lives and property.
Benefits of Installing Fire Sprinkler System
Leverage the advanced protection provided by fire sprinklers:
- Immediate Response: Sprinklers activate automatically at the first sign of heat, offering a rapid response to contain or extinguish fires. This swift action is crucial for minimizing damage and saving lives.
- 24/7 Protection: Providing round-the-clock coverage, these systems ensure continuous property protection, even when unoccupied, enhancing safety and peace of mind.
- Cost Efficiency: By reducing fire damage, sprinklers can significantly lower repair costs and potentially decrease insurance premiums, offering long-term financial benefits.
- Environmental Impact: Sprinklers use less water compared to traditional firefighting methods, contributing to environmental conservation by minimizing water usage and damage.
- Compliance and Safety: Installing fire sprinklers helps meet building codes and insurance requirements, ensuring compliance while promoting a safer environment for occupants.
- Customizable Solutions: Designed to protect various properties, from residential to commercial spaces, these systems offer tailored protection to meet specific needs.
