FIRE SPRINKLERS

A fire sprinkler system discharges water when it exceeds a predetermined temperature. It system consists of a two-part metal fusible link or a glass bulb with liquid and as the temperature exceeds, the bulb breaks allowing water to sprinkle.

Additionally, only the sprinklers at the fire affected area get working as each of them are independently activated by exceeding the set threshold, thereby maximizing the entire water pressure over the affected area. There are also different types of sprinkles available for residential and industrial usage.

A fire extinguisher is a portable fire protection device that can be used to put out small fires, often in emergency situations, however, It would very less effective on an out-of-control fire. It consists of a cylindrical pressure vessel containing a foamy substance which can be discharged to put out a fire.

Fire extinguishers are available as per different class of fire and in different sizes. Some extinguishers could be ineffective in some class of fire so it is important to know which extinguisher to use for a particular class of fire.

A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, which can alert you to a fire and give some time to leave the area. Smoke detectors normally generate an audible alarm and it’s a device in itself which can be wired into any electrical point with a battery backup or just with a battery.

There are mainly two types of smoke detectors; ionization and photoelectric.

An ionization smoke detector uses a radioisotope to detect the difference in air and generates the alarm. These are sensitive to the flaming stage of fire.

Photoelectric detector detects the intensity of light and triggers the alarm if it is below a set threshold, potentially due to smoke. It is more effective for detecting smoke from smoldering fires.

A fire hose is a high-pressure hose that carries water to combat a fire risk. It can be attached to a building’s plumbing system to get the supply of water.

There are various types of reels available as per your requirements which are designed to operate at different pressures. You can also control the direction and flow of water to the fire.

A fire blanket is a safety device made from woven fire glass material which is used to extinguish smothering fire. It can be used in homes and kitchens and is helpful for fires up to 900 degrees. It can be used along with fire extinguishers for home emergency purposes.

Manual fire alarm system is a device which sounds the alarm during a fire emergency in a particular section or zone. Unlike the automatic alarm system which uses smoke/heat detectors to activate the alarm, manual fire alarm system can be manually activated using a call point. Furthermore, using both the system together can make your property more fire secure.

These manual system can be installed throughout the building, or just in corridors and stairs.

Audio video Indicators produce audible and visual indication during fire or gas emergency. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the fire alarm system and help to indicate people about the emergency. It is more often used in buildings and large commercial areas or complexes.

As per your budget and requirements, the AlAlarms team can guide you through many more fire safety devices like Sliding Fire Doors, Exit Doors, Fire Dampers, Fire Hydrants, Booster Pumps etc.
