Misconceptions about the Sprinkler System

There are many misconceptions about sprinkler systems. Typical misunderstandings include:
  • It is often thought that sprinklers will automatically operate when they are exposed to smoke. This is not the case. The function by thermal impact against fitted heat detection elements with any fire sprinkler design.
  • People tend to think that when one sprinkler is activated, all sprinklers will start working. With the exception of special deluge sprinkler systems, only the sprinklers in contact with the heat will start running.
  • There is a preconception about sprinkler systems being prone to leakage. This is not the case, these systems are tested on a very regular basis (especially the fire sprinkler pressure is tested) and only one of 16.000 residential fire sprinklers might leak.
