Deluge
Fire Sprinkler System
A deluge system is similar to a pre-action system except the
sprinkler heads are open and the pipe is not pressurized with
air. Deluge systems are connected to a water supply through
a deluge valve that is opened by the operation of a smoke
or
heat detection system. The detection system is installed in
the same area as the sprinklers. When the
detection system is activated water discharges through all
of the sprinkler
heads
in the
system.
Deluge systems are used in places that are considered high
hazard areas such as power
plants, aircraft
hangars
and chemical storage or processing facilities. Deluge systems
are needed where high velocity suppression is necessary to
prevent fire spread.
