Many types of sprinklers that can be classified according to its activation temperature, fast opening, orifice size of sprinkler discharge or flow rate, type of fuse element, jet application form, coverage area waterjet among many other factors involved in risk analysis and project design by the specialist (fire sprinkler hydraulic calculations).
Automatic sprinklers have an outlet for releasing water, a firing mechanism and a deflector to convert the output stream in a spray of water in area where there is fire. The trigger sprayer can be done by two mechanisms: a thermo-sensitive element or a flame detector. In this type of sprayer, the jet has a stopper that prevents the leakage of water and a stopper device releasing the trigger mechanism in this case is a device for releasing the plug.
It consists of a thermo-sensitive element that is designed to destroy at predetermined temperatures, automatically causing the release of plug and the outlet of a water spray, which should extinguish the flame right in area where it has started. This device can be of two types: side of a disassembled sprayer without bulb or fuse Vista.
The spray outlet is somewhat less sharp slope of the teeth to its plane and a little more in diameter; glass valve polished, chamfered and sprinklers have higher gate outlet. For some time, some of the sprinklers manufacturers to reduce the cost structure used as a sealant rubber gasket. Thus it was not taken into account that over time the elastic properties of rubber deteriorates, and can result in loss of containment. But the worst thing that can happen to the adhesion of rubber sealing surfaces.
Sprinkler is a component of fire-fighting system, irrigation head mounted in sprinkler installation (network of water pipes, which is always water or air under pressure). The spray outlet closed heat or thermo-sensitive bulb lock having a temperature of up to 343 degrees C. Upon reaching room temperature a certain value, locking the system soldered or bursts flask, and water begins to irrigate the protected zone. The disadvantage of such a system is relatively large inertia - head opened after about 2-3 minutes after the temperature rise.
According to statistics in case of activated fire sprinkler-systems 40% of the time the fire was extinguished by sprinklers, 80% of flames is extinguished when triggered no more than 10 sprinklers. On this basis, taking into account the area, protected by a single sprinkler (12 square meters is determined by the area, which is needed to irrigate the maximum flow of water sprinkler-system. For the first group space area is 120 square meters.
Fire-extinguishing system is maintained in working order. Sprinklers should be regularly inspected for mechanical damage, corrosion, coating damage, obstructions irrigation. Damaged sprinklers must be replaced. Even small leaks require immediate replacement of the sprinkler. To do this, have an arsenal of spare sprinklers and constantly replenish it. Sprinkler who have been exposed to heat of combustion products exceeds the value of maximum allowable operating temperature must be replaced.
Triggered sprinkler repair and re-use are not subject. They must be replaced with new sprinklers. Temperature rating of sprinklers can be identified by the color of bulb. Before replacing the installed sprinkler-fire extinguishing system must be disconnected completely relieve pressure in piping, drain systems for wet or dry pipe bled for. Followed to dismantle the old sprinklers and install a new one, making sure that its design, temperature and operating time correspond to those indicated in project. After replacing the sprinklers should be installed fire-extinguishing system in standby mode.
