Heating solutions for sprinkler systems

Fire safety is a fundamental component in protecting both lives and property in various types of facilities. A crucial part of this safety is the installation of a sprinkler system that automatically activates in the event of a fire to quickly extinguish or contain the flames. To ensure that the sprinkler system functions effectively, it is essential that the water in the pipes remains in liquid form, even under cold conditions. This is particularly important in cold storage rooms and other low-temperature environments.

Different types of sprinkler systems

There are several types of sprinkler systems used to protect buildings and areas from fire. To design a project, it is required that you are a qualified engineer and that you are approved and certified by SBSC in accordance with SBF1018.

Wet sprinkler system:

This is the most common system, where the pipes are always filled with water up to the sprinkler head. When a sprinkler is activated, it immediately releases water to combat the fire.

Dry sprinkler system:

In this system, the pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen instead of water. When a sprinkler is activated, the air is released, causing a valve to open and fill the pipes with water to fight the fire. This system is used in areas where pipes are at risk of freezing, such as freezer rooms.

Each system has its own specific applications depending on the environment and the specific fire protection needs.

Ebeco's heating solution for sprinkler systems

In cold storage rooms, the water in the sprinkler system's pipes is at risk of freezing, rendering the system ineffective and unable to perform its life-saving function. To avoid this problem and ensure that water is always available to extinguish a potential fire, a heating solution from Ebeco can be installed.

Ebeco offers specialized heating cables that can be installed along the pipes in the sprinkler system. These heating cables ensure that the temperature remains above freezing, preventing the water from freezing. The installation of heating cables is a reliable solution that ensures the sprinkler system is fully operational regardless of the surrounding temperature.

By investing in heating solutions for sprinkler systems, such as those from Ebeco, companies and organizations can ensure that their fire protection is reliable and effective year-round. This provides peace of mind that fire protection will function optimally, even in the most demanding environments like cold storage rooms. Preventing freezing risks in the sprinkler system is a necessary measure to maintain a high level of fire safety and protect both people and assets.
