Sprinkler Fire System Dry Pipe Pre action specially designed for facilities with high-value assets, sensitive equipment, or environments that demand preventive fire protection with zero tolerance for false discharges.
The dry pipe pre-action sprinkler system is engineered for areas where accidental activation of sprinklers could cause extensive damage. Common applications include data centers, museums, archives, medical facilities, laboratories, and high-end commercial or industrial buildings.
How the Dry Pipe Pre-Action Sprinkler System Works
In a dry pipe sprinkler system, the piping above the pre-action valve remains free of water, filled only with compressed air or nitrogen. This setup prevents unwanted water discharge in the protected area unless a real fire is detected.
To activate the system:
- A fire detection system (smoke or heat detectors) senses the fire.
- The detection system triggers the pre-action valve, allowing water to flow into the previously dry piping.
- Only when a sprinkler nozzle is heat-activated (typically by a burst of a heat-sensitive glass bulb or vial) will water be released directly at the source of the fire.
This dual verification ensures maximum fire protection with minimum risk of accidental water damage.
Types of Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems
We designs and installs both single and double interlock pre-action systems, depending on the specific fire risk and redundancy requirements:
- Single Interlock Pre-Action System: Requires activation by the fire detection system only.
- Double Interlock Pre-Action System: Requires activation by both fire detection and sprinkler nozzle operation, enhancing reliability and minimizing false activation risks.
These configurations are ideal for mission-critical environments, where even minor water discharge can cause operational or financial disruption.
Components and Installation Details
Each Sprinkler Fire System Dry Pipe Pre action consists of a hydraulic piping network built from black or galvanized carbon steel, with CL10 BSP threaded connections. The system includes:
- Pre-action valve assembly
- Fire detection and alarm interface (SDAI)
- Sprinkler nozzles
- Flow switches for monitoring
- Connection to water reservoirs and pump houses
- Alarm signaling at the fire control panel
We ensures strategic placement of sprinkler heads to guarantee even coverage and rapid fire control across vertical and horizontal structures.
