Water-sprinkler systems appeared during the end of XIX century. Favorable results of protection forced inventors to pay serious attention to this kind of firefighting. Before the revolution of liability insurance, companies recognized the impact of fire sprinkler hydraulic calculations in factories to reduce losses.

In 1902 Frederick Grinnell patented the design Grinel alarm check valve. Water system Grinnell. A - short tube diameter of half an inch, screwed into a water pipe and closes flat bottom valve b; valve lever is held and backup c d. Backup d attached to the copper arc e apparatus with a weak solder which melts at a temperature of 73 degrees C.

There are other automatic, instead of the capsule are connected to a fire detector which sends an automatic valve that opens when the detector knows of a fire. When quenched, the switch closes the valve and, if applicable, would open again if the fire is revived. Systems differ from sprinklers sprayed water on the element that disperses the water these last is a mouthpiece designed to offer an angle of fog.

Hence the name sprayed, which varies depending on the application that you want to give the system sprinkler. The most common use of these sprinkler-systems is the cooling of walls of a storage tank of flammable liquids because they are easier and less costly to maintain than a system of sprinklers, which moreover do not correspond to a pattern of dispersal water required by such facilities.

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.

The response time of these systems shall not exceed 300 seconds for low-temperature sprinklers (57 and 68 degrees C) and 600 seconds for the highest-temperature sprinklers. In 1806, an automatic fire extinguishing installation was patented by Englishman John Carey. He proposed to build in the protected area network of pipelines from the water head tank, and on the network to install sprinklers with small holes.

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.
