Double safety for
water sensitive areas
SPRINKLER- protection – for water sensitive areas
I
Server rooms, archives and other water-sensitive areas with delicate equipment
have one thing in common: extinguishing water should only be sprayed there,
even if it is really burning. Under these circumstances preaction sprinklers
offer double safety against unwanted activation of a sprinkler system. To
improve safeguards against erroneous activation, each preaction sprinkler
unit consists of a housing with two sprinklers. Only when both of these
sprinklers are opened will water be released.
If a sprinkler is damaged, for example during works If however a small water-sensitive area within a

station, more pipe line and a dedicated pressur-

suitable for the protection of large water-sensitive
areas.
