How fire sprinkler systems work (3D Animation)

[@EASsirenVids01]

Another thing is, sprinkler systems are always connected to the fire alarm system (in commercial buildings). There’s a flow switch on the system somewhere and when it detects water flowing it’ll trigger the system. Most fire alarm activation scenarios allow for the alarm to be silenced, but waterflow alarms cannot be silenced, you have to reset the system, and if the flow switch is still active, the system will sound again after you reset.

Would a frozen bursted pipe cause it to go off?

[@victordille5426]

Also the liquid doesn’t expand the air bubble that is in the liquid expands and the temperature difference between the heads the air bubble is smaller and bigger

Was at YMCA Toledo ohio. One way up high in a swimming pool room. One opened up with no fire. I was thinking about it five minutes before it happened.

[@karitanner9406]

now i know why the laundry room has the green bulb yay

[@alexgreat-wu8ye]

at 2:51 that isn't a pre activate system that is a recessed fire sprinkler pre activate sprays some sort of foam

I was wondering how these work thank you

[@jeromegsam]

Most valuable information 👌

[@ilsadelgado7348]

So smoke doesn’t trigger them 😂 I learned something new

[@patrickskramstad1485]

In dry climates where fires 🔥🔥🔥🔥 are becoming more prevalent, maybe 🤔 after the house or building is burnt 🔥 down they can be rebuilt with these in mind. Or perhaps insurance companies can give discounts to those who install these systems.

[@sweetsachiko2062]

Sprinklers are intended for life safety, not just fire suppression. The sprinkler water can cool the environment so occupants have a better chance of escape/survival

I love your video.

its a good generalinfo video. but many pictures and small general stuff is wrong.

For some reason, I have a massive fear of these. I will not go into a shower if there is a sprinkler in there. I refuse to goo a small room if there is a sprinkler inside. This has kinda helped

[@skatingrat3502]

I know what you mean, I’m just scared it will go off even if there is no reason for it to. I have a similar fear to smoke alarms as well 😅

Most educational. We have the red pipe sprinklers at our apartment.

love it... why are different colors of bulbs for different temps used?

[@spencersines5824]

different temperature sprinklers are needed in different parts of buildings and as an installer it would be a nightmare trying to figure out which one is which if they are all the same color. Kinda like a guaranteed way to make sure the right thing is where it needs to be. :)

[@AnthonyJuly-93]

I'm thinking the color of the liquid has chemicals in it that can withstand high temperatures that's what makes it the color.

[@laurazhu9495]

Do you happen to know how far away does the sprinkler needs to be from a wall?

[@ScienceWorld1]

Sorry, I don't know the exact numbers but NFPA 13, 13R or 13D standards are used for sprinkler installation.

[@kcurrie5287]

4 inches is the minimum for most applications.

[@ကိုဇင္ေရာ္မာလာပုလဲ]

You can learn NFPA-13 at Chapter 10 Page 10-80 have explain about ur question. First we need to know our fire hazard because its mean light or ordinary or extra hazard. All of these hazards have maximum distance from wall.

[@archerstruktuer9384]

Most of the hazards allows 1.5m or 5ft, but as someone says here, it depends a lot of your hazard and a lot lot of things that must be considerated.

[@KunleAdebanjo-p1i]

if the tube on the sprinkler breaks how do they replace it

[@bluenoodles2566]

You isolate the subsidiary stop valve leading to that sprinkler head/zone, or use the main isolation valve in the sprinkler installation (then drain remaining water if needed to do manually) and simply screw on a new sprinkler head, then de-isolate it. In Australia at least, AS1851-2012 requires spare sprinkler heads to be available for each installation at a site.

[@derricktjernlund6384]

Based on both the misinformation in the video and the comments, there is a whole lot of clueless people out there. First, sprinkler “head” is not correct. That is an old Factory Mutual term. The NFPA does not use the term “head” in any of their sprinkler standards. They are just a “sprinkler” or “sprinklers”. Not all sprinklers use a glass bulb as the thermal response link. There are other. Furthermore, the temperature rating is indicated, but not determined, by the color of the liquid in the bulb. Temperature rating is principally determined by the size of the gas bubble in the bulb. For Dry pipe systems, the gas most commonly used in the piping is just compressed air, not pure nitrogen. (NFPA 13 describes five types of systems: Wet pipe, dry pipe, preaction, deluge, and dry pipe-preaction.) Limiting the number of sprinklers that open is principally not to limit water damage, but rather to prevent an excessive demand on the connected water supply. As a degreed fire protection engineer of nearly 50 years, I cringe every time scientists try to describe how fire protection works.

Hi sprinkler

[@pauljanssen7594]

Yes I like the movies where all the sprinkler heads go off that's only in the movies

[@cleatis79]

You are almost 100% right. However, There are some systems where all the sprinklers are open and that would happen, very uncommon though

Dry systems CAN be filled with pressurized nitrogen, but 100% of the Dry Systems I have designed use plan old air. Nitrogen can get very expensive.

[@LILC63]

Any sprinkler with a yellow bulb over higher is unsafe.

[@jennadow3853]

How about after the bulb breaks the plug gets pushed out from the orifice and then water hits the deflector. Should of had a sprinkler person review first.

[@cravenlago]

I DONT HAVE AN SPRINKLER OR FIRE EXTINGUISHER💀💀💀🔥🔥😭💀🔥😭

[@ieungeggcats]

you sure spronklers are good at putting out a fire?

[@ANISH00002]

Not all , some have to be designed in specific ways like there orifices should be larger and water density should be more or else in case of a fire these water droplest can evaporate due to heat and due to which the fire can spread causing nearby sprinklers to activate resulting in loss of pressure on the sprinkler head directly over the seat of the fire.

[@bluenoodles2566]

The purpose of a sprinkler isn’t always to directly extinguish a fire. It’s to assist with compartmentalising a growing fire and preventing it from spreading to different compartments or exposures until the fire brigade arrive, hence the circular shape. It’s like a shielding dome around the fire.
