Water systems
Water-based fire suppression systems are a key component of modern fire protection, providing automated protection against fires in all types of buildings. These systems are designed to respond quickly and effectively to an emerging fire, thereby minimising damage to property and protecting human life.
Water systems are divided into several types based on the method of water application and the specific needs of the area to be protected:
Wet system
The most widely used type of sprinkler system, ideal for environments where temperatures do not drop below freezing. Water is constantly present in the pipe, allowing an instant spray of water when the sprinkler is activated.
Dry system
This system is designed for environments where there is a risk of water freezing in the pipes. Instead of water, the pipe is filled with compressed air which is released when the sprinkler is opened, allowing the system to flood with water.
Advance system
The system provides increased security and minimises the risk of unintentional activation. It is particularly suitable for sensitive areas such as laboratories, libraries and archives where incorrect activation could cause significant damage.
Flood system
This system provides rapid and complete flooding of the protected area with water, which is particularly useful in high fire risk environments such as airport hangars or industrial buildings.
Each type of water system is designed to meet the specific needs and conditions of the building being protected, ensuring they function reliably and effectively in the event of a fire.
