1 Introduction to Sprinklers EFSN Training i Module 1 90 Minutes
2 Topics How sprinklers work Performance of sprinkler systems Types of Sprinkler Introduction to sprinkler systems Introduction ti to sprinkler system design
3 How Sprinklers Work
4 How do Sprinklers Work? Glass bulb contains a liquid id with a vapour bubble bbl Liquid expands as the temperature rises, compressing the vapour bubble At a set temperature (usually 68 C) the bubble has p ( y ) gone and the bulb breaks, releasing the water seal
5 What happens then? In most sprinkler systems the pipe array to which the sprinkler is connected contains water under pressure, so water comes out of the sprinkler Pipe array water pressure drops and a switch sends a signal to start the pump if there is one Water flowing in the pipe array operates another switch which causes the fire alarm to ring Signals such as these can be used to send an automatic alarm to a monitoring station
6 Some More Details Hot gases rise from a fire and spread across the ceiling to meet the sprinkler bulb or fusible link It is important that the hot gases can freely reach the sprinkler and design rules make clear what obstructions are unacceptable Usually 1-2 sprinklers operate but if the fire is equally between 4 sprinklers they all may operate For most fire risks, the sprinkler system is designed for six sprinklers to operate four plus two reserve
7 Sprinklers do not: React to smoke from toast or a cigarette Open all at once (usually 1 or 2 sprinklers operate) Cause major water damage (system sprays less water than a single fire hose) Operate without reason (this is very rare) 1 in 1.6 million sprinklers for all reasons including end user or contractor damage (FM Global in 1977) 1 in 16 million sprinklers due to a manufacturing error (FM Global in 1977)
8 Performance of Sprinkler Systems
9 Reliability i i of fs Sprinklers Sprinklers release water when they get hot and control or extinguish fire Statistics show properly designed and maintained sprinkler systems control/extinguish ti i 98% of fires Swiss Cantonal Insurance Federation 100% in 2000 LPC 99% in 2000 Danish Institute of Fire Technology 98% in 2003 German Property Insurers 97.9% in APSAD of France 97% in 2000
10 Reliability i i of fs Sprinklers In >60% of cases only 1 or 2 sprinklers operate to release much hless water than a single fire hose Swiss Cantonal Insurance Federation: 87% of fires controlled by 1-2 sprinklers in 2000 APSAD: 61% of fires controlled by 1-2 sprinklers in 2000 VdS: 50% of fires controlled by 1-2 sprinklers in 2000 LPC: 44% of fires controlled by 1-2 sprinklers in 2000 E h h d l i l l f lif i Europe has never had a multiple loss of life in a building protected by a fire sprinkler system
11 Benefits of Sprinklers in Room of Origin Sprinklers sensitive to heat and respond quickly before conditions become life-threatening Prevent fire growth and so reduce evolution of toxic gases Keep temperature at survivable level Often extinguish fire 2004 report for UK Government showed sprinklers usually maintain tenable conditions in room of fire origin => Sprinklers offer the only hope to those who do not leave the room where the fire starts
12 Sprinklers Aid Escape Prevent growth of fire and evolution of smoke People can then more easily follow escape routes Sprinkler system can send an alarm to fire brigade
13 Sprinklers Prevent Flashover In a fire flammable vapours reach auto-ignition Ingress of oxygen => spontaneous combustion with fireball and shockwave Sprinklers cool vapours so they do not ignite when oxygen enters room Important contribution to safety of occupants and Important contribution to safety of occupants and fire-fighters specific aim of NFPA 13R and 13D
14 Sprinklers Reduce Fire Damage Respond before arrival of fire brigade Fire is still small and is not allowed to grow Less water is needed to deal with a small fire Average fire damage is reduced by over 85% Scottsdale (88% commercial buildings; 96% residential) Vancouver (92% residential) NFPA (42% residential; 67% manufacturing) NIST (32% in houses)
15 Warehouse Fires Extinguished by Sprinklers Birmingham 2004 ICI Paints 15 Feb sprinklers put out fire
16 A Warehouse without Sprinklers Matalan, Birmingham i 2 March 2006
17 Proof fth that ts Sprinklers Save Lives Scottsdale Zero deaths in sprinklered buildings (first death in 2007) Vancouver Zero deaths in sprinklered buildings from 1990 Fire death rate was worst, now best in Canada NFPA: 86% reduction overall; 78% residential ( ); 100% in houses ( ) NIST: 100% fire death reduction in houses
18 Scottsdale Sprinkler Legislation 1974 All buildings higher than 3 storeys or larger than 700m 2 must be sprinklered 1982 Ran residential sprinkler tests 1985 Approved ordnance requiring sprinklers in all new buildings from 1986
19 Scottsdale Sprinkler Ordinance Design Freedoms Increased hydrant spacing Reduced water main sizes No requirement for 360 access Reduced street widths Increased cul-de-sac lengths => Development density increased 4%
20 Costs to Install Sprinklers in Houses in Scottsdale February m 2 house 8.50/m 2 June 1989 Production home 5.87/m 2 Custom home 6.62/m 2 January 2001 Production home 4.38/m 2 Custom home 5.20/m 2
21 45 Fire Deaths in Vancouver Sprinklers retrofitted in 800 high h risk buildings Sprinklers in all new housing, hospitals and care facilities % of all housing has 37% of all housing has sprinklers
22 Sprinklers Make Economic Sense Allow architectural freedoms so buildings are more attractive and cost less to build Prevent loss of life and reduce injuries by 85% Reduce fire damage to property by over 85% Low maintenance costs through life of building NIST found an economic benefit
