What triggers fire sprinkers?
There are several common myths about sprinklers such as that they are activated by smoke, that they can be triggered in error and that once one has been activated, all others will follow.
According to BAFSA, the UK’s leading professional trade association for the fire sprinkler industry, records show that the chance of an accidental discharge is extremely rare*.
How are sprinklers activated?
Step 1: Heat is detected
Sprinkler systems contain either a glass bulb filled with a liquid that expands with heat, or a solder fusible link that will melt when it reaches a certain temperature. When hot air rises as the result of a fire, the glass bulb shatters or the solder melts, thus activating the sprinkler head.
Step 2: Fire is doused
Upon shattering, a valve connected to a water supply opens. The water supply is pressurised and controlled to thoroughly drench the area of heat.
Step 3: Damage is limited
Unlike what we see in film and television shows, one sprinkler being activated does not trigger all others, causing untold water damage to property. The focussed activation of the system means that in many cases the fire is suppressed before the fire service has arrived on the scene.
