Fire sprinkler heads come in various types, each designed for specific applications. Here's a quick breakdown of the most common ones:
- Upright Sprinklers: These are the most recognizable sprinkler heads, typically found on ceilings pointing downwards. They activate upon reaching a specific temperature threshold, spraying water in a cone-shaped pattern.
- Pendant Sprinklers: Similar to upright sprinklers, pendants hang from ceilings and activate in response to heat.
- Wall Sprinkler Heads: Designed for wall mounting, these sprinklers are ideal for spaces where ceiling sprinklers might be obstructed.
- Concealed Sprinklers: Often used for aesthetic purposes, concealed heads are hidden within decorative trim but activate and disperse water like traditional heads when triggered.
Beyond Reactive Response:
Proactive Protection
Fire sprinkler heads are the frontline defense against fires. They not only extinguish flames but also control them, preventing them from spreading and causing catastrophic damage. Here's how they work:
- Heat Detection: When a fire ignites, the surrounding temperature rises.
- Head Activation: The sprinkler head, containing a glass bulb filled with a heat-sensitive liquid, shatters upon reaching its activation temperature.
- Water Release: The broken bulb releases water pressure held within the pipes, triggering the sprinkler head to spray water.
