Fire sprinklers: How to protect us from fire?

In some public places, fire sprinkler systems have become indispensable safety facilities. As the core component of the system, fire sprinklers play a vital role. They are usually installed on the ceiling or wall inside the building, ready to respond to possible emergencies.

Once a fire occurs, these seemingly ordinary metal devices will respond quickly. The built-in temperature sensing element can keenly capture changes in ambient temperature. Once the preset temperature is reached, the seal inside the sprinkler will automatically melt or break, thereby opening the water flow channel. Then, the water flow is ejected through the nozzle to form a dense and uniform water mist. This water mist can not only directly extinguish the source of the fire, but also effectively reduce the temperature around the fire scene and inhibit the spread of the flames.
The fire sprinkler system can buy precious time for the evacuation of personnel and the arrival of professional rescue teams. In many cases, it can even control the fire in the early stage of the fire, avoiding greater disasters.

However, not all fires are suitable for extinguishing with water. For fires caused by electrical equipment or the combustion of certain special chemicals, using water may not solve the problem. Therefore, when designing and installing a fire sprinkler system, the specific use of the building and the potential risks should be considered to ensure that appropriate fire extinguishing methods are adopted.
