An automatic fire suppression system can give peace of mind to any homeowner or business owner. Should the unthinkable happen, such as a fire breaks out suddenly, an automatic fire suppression system is designed to quickly and autonomously put out the fire without any human intervention. A fire has the potential to quickly cause an incredible amount of damage in the shortest amount of time. Understanding the various types of automatic fire suppression systems goes a long way to protect property and valuables.
Understanding the Space
First, understand and be familiar with the entire space you need protected. This determines which type of fire suppression system is the most effective. Also examine what is contained within this space, such as kitchen equipment, computers and other mainframes, expensive heirlooms and more. In a worst case scenario, the fire suppression system may do more damage than the fire itself. Understanding the space also impacts installation and maintenance.
Engineered Fire Suppression System
As compared with a pre-engineered system, which is a one-size-fits-all type of suppression system, an engineered fire suppression system is custom, engineered correctly for the space identified and the purpose of the space. Only an experienced engineer completely understands the dynamics and various types of fire suppression systems to do the job correctly. Engineered fire suppression systems are ideal for large vehicles, both land and water, server or computer rooms, public and private buildings, electrical switch rooms and many others.
Which Type Is Best
As noted previously, there are various types of automatic fire suppression systems. These include fire sprinkler systems, gaseous fire systems and condensed aerosol fire suppression and others. An experienced fire protection engineering firm is invaluable in providing the best information, advice and recommendations for any homeowner or business owner.
