What is the difference between conventional and addressable fire alarms?

The biggest difference between conventional and addressable fire alarms is customizability. Conventional fire alarms sit on the wall or ceiling and go off individually when they detect smoke or fire, making them perfect for small buildings such as individual offices or retail shops. Addressable fire alarms, on the other hand, provide specific information about individual detectors that are invaluable if your office is part of a larger building or building complex. Addressable fire alarm systems can be customized to where different devices have different alarm thresholds based on their locations. Addressable fire alarm systems are typically more expensive than conventional alarms, but the extra information they provide to firefighters and building managers is invaluable.

How does a standard response fire sprinkler work?

Standard response (SR) sprinkler heads are best suited for commercial or industrial buildings, including factories and warehouses. They activate individually to prevent causing water damage where there is no fire present. SR sprinklers take longer to activate than quick response sprinklers, requiring the heat from a fire below to reach a higher temperature before the liquid inside the bulb expands, the glass breaks, and water flows through the sprinkler head. SR sprinklers contain 5 mm glass bulbs that take longer for the expanding liquid inside to burst them. That said, these sprinkler heads still react within seconds, quickly dousing any fire.

How does a quick response fire sprinkler work?

Quick response (QR) sprinkler heads are typical in high-density, light-hazard environments, including hospitals, assisted living facilities, office buildings, and schools. They are also often installed in residences. QR sprinkler heads respond faster to the flames below by activating at a lower temperature than SR sprinklers. They have 3 mm bulbs that allow the liquid inside to expand and break the glass quickly. It’s only appropriate to install QR sprinkler heads in applications that are unlikely to have high ambient temperatures that could trigger a sprinkler head without a fire present.

Which type of building require Fire Hydrant System?

All buildings above 15 meter, Irrespective of height Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals, Assembly, Business Centers, Industrial Properties, Mercantile need fire hydrant system.

Fire Sprinkler System

Fire Fighting Sprinkler System

Sprinkler Fire Protection System is one of the most reliable and efficient Fire FIghting System having very less maintenance cost. The advantage of this system is that itself detects and extinguishes fire.

A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection method, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected.

A sprinkler discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has been exceeded.

Pendant

The most common type of fire sprinkler head is the pendent. Once water is expelled onto a pendent fire sprinkler’s deflector, it sprays in a circular pattern providing the most coverage of any fire sprinkler

Upright

Upright sprinklers are used mostly in places where obstructions may block water spray during a fire, and their height allows them to aim water around possible obstacles.

Sidewall

Sidewall fire sprinklers, as the name suggests, protrude from the side of a wall, as opposed to hanging down from the ceiling. Sidewall fire sprinklers are ideal to use in situations where ceiling access is limited or where freezing is a potential concern.

Concealed

Concealed sprinkler systems are popular because no disturbance will be made to the appearance of the ceiling. It offers an alternate option in low profile and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Quick Response

Quick Response Sprinklers are primarily used for light hazard applications, it discharges water higher up on the ceiling. Quick Response fire sprinkler heads are standard for highly populated buildings such as health care facilities, assisted living facilities, shopping malls.

Kitchen Hood

A fire needs three things to thrive: oxygen, heat, and fuel. Once the kitchen hood sprinkler system detects a fire, the nozzles above the appliance will discharge wet chemicals. These wet chemicals are engineered to quickly put out fires by covering the flames and starving them of oxygen.

Rack Sprinkler

Rack sprinklers are installed along a network of piping secured within the rack storage structure for adequate protection throughout the entire storage area.

Extended Pendant And Sidewall Sprinkler

As the name suggests extended sprinkler is provided in areas which need larger coverage, such sprinklers cover approximately 2 times the area of a standard sprinkler.
