Системы автоматического водяного пожаротушения предназначены для автоматического распределения воды в целях тушения пожара или предотвращения его распространения.
Industry:Fire safety
В дренчерной системе пожаротушения применяются незаполненные (сухие) трубопроводы. Дренчерные насадки не имеют тепловых замков; в нормальном состоянии вода не заполняет систему благодаря наличию дренчерного клапана. При открытии дренчерного клапана все насадки срабатывают одновременно, обеспечивая быстрое затопление защищаемого помещения. Применяются для защиты особо пожаро- и взрывоопасных объектов, а также в качестве дренчерных завес, которые отсекают «стеной огнетушащего вещества» (например воды) помещение, где возникло возгорание, от других помещений здания.
