Anti-Freeze Sprinkler Systems
Anti Freeze Sprinkler systems are designed to provide fire protection in environments where freezing temperatures pose a risk to standard sprinkler systems. These specialized systems ensure continuous functionality by preventing water from freezing within the pipes until a fire event occurs.
Functionality of Anti Freeze Systems
Anti Freeze Sprinkler systems typically use a mixture of water and glycerin or propylene glycol as the sprinkler system's working fluid. This solution has a lower freezing point than water alone, allowing it to remain in a liquid state even in sub-zero temperatures. When a fire triggers the system, the heat causes the sprinkler heads to activate, releasing the anti-freeze solution to suppress the fire.
Benefits of Anti Freeze Systems
