Offering a Variety of Top-Notch Fire Protection Systems
Wet Pipe
A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system containing water and connected to a water supply so that water discharges immediately from sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.
Dry Pipe
A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system containing air or nitrogen under pressure, the release of which (as from the opening of a sprinkler) permits the water pressure to open a valve known as a dry pipe valve, and the water then flows into the piping system and out the opened sprinklers.
ESFR
A sprinkler system employing Early Suppression Fast-Response (ESFR) sprinklers that are attached to a wet piping system containing water and connected to a water supply so that water discharges immediately from sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.
ESFR Sprinklers are a type of fast-response sprinkler that meet the characteristics of a sprinkler that defines its ability to control or extinguish a fire (a) Thermal sensitivity. A measure of the rapidity with which the thermal element operates as installed in a specific sprinkler or sprinkler assembly. One measure of thermal sensitivity is the response time index (RTI) as measured under standardized test conditions. (1) Sprinklers defined as fast response have a thermal element with an RTI of 50 (meters-seconds) ½ or less. An ESFR sprinkler is listed for its capability to provide fire suppression of specific high-challenge fire hazards.
High Speed Deluge
A sprinkler system employing open sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that is connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by the operation of a detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. When this valve opens, water flows into the piping system and discharges from all sprinklers attached thereto. Checkout videos on YouTube - "Sprinkler Deluge".
Preaction
A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that contains air that may or may not be under pressure, with a supplemental detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers.
Chemical / Foam
A foam fire protection system should be used to protect buildings that contain combustible materials and other hazards that a normal water based fire protection system could not suppress in the event of a fire. The foam system suppresses the fire by separating the fuel from the air. These systems typically inject a concentrated foam mixture into a water based deluge system. Checkout videos on YouTube - "Hangar Foam Dump" or "Jet-X Foam Test".
Clean Agent
A Clean Agent Gas System is a clean, non-corrosive gas, which is designed to extinguish fire. Gas is especially valuable where other extinguishing medias might damage stock or valuable equipment. These systems are used most often in computer/data, electrical, and telecommunication equipment rooms.
Vortex
The Only Hybrid Nitrogen-Water Fire Suppression System with:
- Green design that is safe for the environment, personnel, and livestock
- Nearly zero wetting of protected areas; no need for costly clean-up or equipment replacement
- Quick system recharge; minimal facility downtime
- Open space effectiveness; no need for assurance of room integrity
- Fan tests, dampers, ventilation and discharge delays are not required
Rapid Response
Hybrid system consisting of equal percentages of water and nitrogen that are both used as extinguishing agents from one single emitter
System operates at very low pressures (5 psi), but can travel at over 3,600 MPH once discharged. This happens at the emitter by using sound wave and jet design Water droplets are less than 10 micron in size and there is no water damage from a discharge Each emitter covers 2,500 cubic feet, with a maximum of 128,750 cubic feet
Marine Sprinkler System
A sprinkler system installed on a ship, boat, or other floating structure that takes its supply from the water on which the vessel floats.
