Installations of oil-filled transformers usually includes fire protection measures such as walls, oil containment, and fire-suppression sprinkler systems.

Newer systems have drop sprinkler heads as shown in the image that follows.

Most center pivot systems now have drops hanging from a u-shaped pipe attached at the top of the pipe with sprinkler heads that are positioned a few feet ( at most ) above the crop, thus limiting evaporative losses.

Clean agent fire suppression gaseous systems are sometimes installed to suppress a fire earlier than the fire sprinkler system.

Most center pivot systems now have drops hanging from a u-shaped pipe called a gooseneck attached at the top of the pipe with sprinkler heads that are positioned a few feet ( at most ) above the crop, thus limiting evaporative losses and wind drift.

New and old building design, building systems like the building standpipe system, HVAC systems ( Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning ), fire sprinkler system and other things like stairwell and elevator evacuations pose significant problems.

Fire safety legislation introduced in London in 2006 requires new high rise buildings to be built to higher safety standards with sprinkler systems ; these new buildings are mainly luxury accommodation for richer people.

The carriage horses live in historic stables originally built in the 19th century, but today boast the latest in barn design, such as fans, misting systems, box stalls, and state of the art sprinkler systems.

However, at the time of design, fire sprinkler systems were not mandatory in the UK and so were not installed.

Since 2011, Pennsylvania and California require sprinkler systems in all new residential construction-the first US states to do so.

In the UK, since the 1990s sprinklers have gained recognition within the Building Regulations ( England and Wales ) and Scottish Building Standards and under certain circumstances, the presence of sprinkler systems is deemed to provide a form of alternative compliance to some parts of the codes.

Renewed interest in and support for sprinkler systems in the UK, largely as a result of effective lobbying by the National Fire Sprinkler Network, the European Fire Sprinkler Network and the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association, has resulted in sprinkler systems being more widely installed.

By a wide margin, wet pipe sprinkler systems are installed more often than all other types of fire sprinkler systems.

Dry pipe systems are the second most common sprinkler system type.

Disadvantages of using dry pipe fire sprinkler systems include:

* Lower design flexibility-Regulatory requirements limit the maximum permitted size ( i. e., 750 gallons ) of individual dry-pipe systems, unless additional components and design efforts are provided to limit the time from sprinkler activation to water discharge to under one minute.

The argument could be made that the installation of a sprinkler system could pay for itself quickly, instead of having to pay a fire fee each year.

While the type of foam used and the lack of a sprinkler system were important factors in the fire, the Great White fire could likely have been prevented had those involved paid attention to standard safety practices around the use of pyrotechnics.

For example, an irrigation sprinkler system, programmed to turn on at set times could be an example of an open-loop system if it does not measure soil moisture as a form of feedback.

In the renovation of the 1930s an automatic sprinkler system was installed in the tower, that could extinguish a fire up to an elevation in the tower of 70 meters.

In many of the later commercials, film villains ( such as Darth Vader, The Wicked Witch of the West, King Kong, Wile E. Coyote, and Boris and Natasha ) would try to destroy or capture the Bunny only to see complications arise when the Supervolt batteries ran out, the villains themselves collapsed from exhaustion, or other circumstances allowed for the mascot's escape ( i. e. the sun coming out to kill Dracula before he could seek shelter, or a fire sprinkler ( the smoke detector was presumably operated by Energizer batteries ) being inadvertently triggered leading to The Wicked Witch of the West melting, or Boris and Natasha attempting to shrink the Bunny, but inadvertently end up shrinking themselves ( and they try to escape the Bunny, who is now massive to them ).

Most people could not afford to install a sprinkler system.

Other states, however, plan to adopt the residential fire sprinkler mandate but delay its implementation, while other states still oppose it .”( www. contractormag. com ) This would have the potential to reduce the need of a large fire department in the long run.

* Drip irrigation might be unsatisfactory if herbicides or top dressed fertilizers need sprinkler irrigation for activation.

This type of system is known to most people as a " waterreel " traveling irrigation sprinkler and they are used extensively for dust suppression, irrigation, and land application of waste water.

* Bonnet, plumbing term for part of an irrigation sprinkler

An example is the fire sprinkler lobby, which favours active fire protection, whereas members of the passive fire protection trades, for instance the International Firestop Council would argue the merits of its members ' work.

On the night in question, the Station was legally required to have a sprinkler system but did not ; outcry over the event has sparked calls for a national Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act but those efforts have so far stalled.

In schools, for example, the government has issued recommendations through Building Bulletin 100 that most new schools should be constructed with sprinkler protection.

A typical sprinkler used for industrial manufacturing occupancies discharge about 75-150 litres / min ( 20-40 US gallons / min ).

When one or more of the automatic sprinklers is exposed, for a sufficient time, to a temperature at or above the temperature rating, it opens, allowing the air in the piping to vent from that sprinkler.

Pre-action sprinkler systems are specialized for use in locations where accidental activation is undesired, such as in museums with rare art works, manuscripts, or books ; and Data Centers, for protection of computer equipment from accidental water discharge.

The term holy water sprinkler is also used to describe a type of military flail, this being the name for the weapon in French ( goupillon ).

For example, the most likely explanation for seeing wet grass is that it rained ; however, this explanation has to be retracted when learning that the real cause of the grass being wet was a sprinkler.

The pitch itself was also completely relaid for the 2007 – 08 season, with a new sprinkler system installed for the 2008 – 09 season.

This reflected an ongoing debate at the time among archivists and librarians about the relative merits of sprinkler systems: Some felt that there was a greater chance for water damage from the activation of one or more sprinkler heads, whether in a fire or accidentally, than the chance of fire damage without sprinklers to suppress it, while others were of the opposite opinion.
