Sprinkler Systems and Their Types
Abstract There is nothing new in the world, it has often been said: The same basic elements and concepts are merely used in different ways. This holds true for the wet pipe sprinkler system in the use of water as the agent in fire protection. All other automatic fire protection systems using water as the suppression agent have evolved from the wet pipe system. The wet pipe system has been sophisticated and adapted to specific requirements and environments, therefore, a thorough understanding of this system is the foundation on which to build basic knowledge of other systems using water as the fire suppression agent. After explaining the wet pipe system, this chapter will describe other systems in common use today: dry pipe sprinkler systems, pre-action systems, deluge systems, water spray systems.
