FAQ
Q Wet vs pre-action sprinklers?
A
Wet: pipes always water-filled, fastest response, standard office/commercial. Pre-action: pipes pressurized with air, requires both alarm + sprinkler activation — preferred for data centers, museums, archives.
Q Gas suppression choices?
A
IG-541 (Inergen, N2+Ar+CO2): environmentally neutral, occupancy-safe. HFC-227ea (FM-200): liquefied gas, compact, mid cost. CO2: lethal concentration, unoccupied areas only (electrical).
Q Fire system integration?
A
Alarm → HVAC shutoff, fire shutters, elevator to ground floor, sirens, suppression activation. Siemens FOX, Honeywell ESSER and Bosch FPA are leading German fire alarm platforms.
