Southport Engineered Systems has been keeping Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois safe with top-quality commercial fire suppression systems since 2005.
A wet pipe sprinkler system has pipes that are always filled with water. When the glass bulbs in the sprinkler heads are exposed to ceiling heat, the bulbs break and water is released immediately.
Dry pipe sprinklers are filled with pressurized air to prevent leaks and busting pipes. Heat activates water release from dry pipe sprinklers.
Pre-action sprinkler systems hold water back with an electrically operated valve. When a fire is detected, valves open to let water into individual sprinklers based on where the fire is detected. Pre-action systems feature pressurized air to keep water in place to decrease the risk of accidental discharge.
A deluge fire system has open sprinkler heads and releases water from all sprinkler heads at the same time. Water remains stored behind a control valve (activated by heat or smoke) and comes from a direct water supply.
