Two types of substances can be released by a fire sprinkler system.
- These overhead sprinklers can be connected to water and work under pressure. When the fire reaches at a set temperature, it is extinguished by water until a firefighters arrive.
- The dry Fire suppression device can be charged using a compressed air or other substances. The sprinkler releases a air when it operates. This is when the control of valve closes and water can flow out of the pipe.
In combination with standard fire protection systems such as sprinklers or fire alarms, fire suppression systems can reduce the risk of losing your life and property loss in any type commercial fire .
Fire Sprinkler System
1. Alarm Valve
When the fire sprinkler system activates the extinguisher is connected to a hose which connects to a cage door. The hose fits into an extinguisher’s cage that must be opened with a key. When the cage door open water is turned on which shoots out of a nozzle into water glass, creating pressure and eventually pushing the still burning flame up higher as it takes off from there as it jets upwards quickly.
Before the fire can spread or before it can get any bigger than it already is (also known as damaging or ruining other parts besides just destroying part of your property), you use the fire sprinkler system in order to ensure that a fires are put out immediately when detected. You don’t want to take any type of unnecessary risks.

4. Sprinkler Heads
This is an important part of the fire suppressing system that you see every day. This is water flow to the fire. Only water can be released by fire sprinkler heads where it is most needed.
5. Stop Valve
The stop valve, which is often red in color, must always be open. The sprinkler will not allow water to flow to the fire suppression device if it is turned off.
We will now move on to the actual fire suppression system, which includes clean orgas suppression and chemical fog suppression.
