Houston Pre Action Fire Sprinklers

Whenever you are concerned with an accidental fire sprinkler discharge such as rare, precious, computers or valuables that may be damaged when wet; the pre action fire sprinkler system may be the choice for fire prevention and fire protection. There are two main types of pre action fire sprinkler systems that can be installed in Houston.

Always work with actively State licensed fire sprinkler companies, contractor and/or fire safety engineers in Houston to perform any installation, service, maintenance, repair, design, engineering, remodel, retrofit, tests or inspections that may be required to comply with fire codes, rules and regulations.

Single Interlock Pre Action Fire Sprinklers

Single interlock pre action fire sprinkler systems generally are activated by a heat detector, smoke detector, or fire alarm. The pre action system activates and fills the fire sprinkler pipes with water and sprays the water from the fire sprinkler heads. The desired effect is to essentially convert a dry pipe fire sprinkler system into a wet pipe fire sprinkler system. If any air pressure is lost in the pre action fire sprinkler system a trouble alarm generally alerts you of the issues.

Double Interlock Pre Action Fire Sprinkler Systems

Double interlock pre action fire sprinkler systems generally are activated by a heat detector, smoke detector, or fire alarm. The double interlock pre action system activates and fills the fire sprinkler pipes with water and sprays the water from the fire sprinkler heads. The desired effect is to essentially convert a dry pipe fire sprinkler system into a wet pipe fire sprinkler system. If any air pressure is lost in the pre action fire sprinkler system a trouble alarm generally alerts you of the issues. The main difference is that all fire sprinkler heads remain open similar to a deluge fire sprinkler system.

NFPA 13D has created a standard for the installation of fire sprinkler systems, detailing information for the combined dry pipe and pre action system. “1.1* Scope. 1.1.1 This standard shall cover the design, installation, and maintenance of automatic sprinkler systems for protection against the fire hazards in one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes. 1.1.2 This standard assumes that the sprinkler system is designed to protect against a fire originating from a single ignition location.”

Foam Fire Extinguishing Materials

· AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) used on A and B fires and for vapor suppression. The most common type in portable foam extinguishers, It contains fluoro ten sides [12] which can be accumulated in human body. The long-term effects of this on the human body and environment are unclear at this time.
· AR-AFFF (Alcohol-resistant aqueous film forming foams), used on fuel fires containing alcohol. Forms a membrane between the fuel and the foam preventing the alcohol from breaking down the foam blanket.
· FFFP (film forming fluoroprotein) contains naturally occurring proteins from animal by-products and synthetic film-forming agents to create a foam blanket that is more heat resistant than the strictly synthetic AFFF foams. FFFP works well on alcohol-based liquids and is used widely in motorsports.
· CAFS (compressed air foam system) Any APW style extinguisher that is charged with a foam solution and pressurized with compressed air. Generally used to extend a water supply in wildland operations. Used on class A fires and with very dry foam on class B for vapor suppression.
· Arctic Fire is a liquid fire extinguishing agent that emulsifies and cools heated materials more quickly than water or ordinary foam. It is used extensively in the steel industry. Effective on classes A, B, and D.
· FireAde, a foaming agent that emulsifies burning liquids and renders them non-flammable. It is able to cool heated material and surfaces similar to CAFS. Used on A and B (said to be effective on some class D hazards, although not recommended due to the fact that fireade still contains amounts of water which will react with some metal fires).
