Pressure washing or power washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove loose paint, mold, grime, dust, mud, and dirt from surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete surfaces.

  4. Active fire protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_fire_protection

    A typical automatic sprinkler system operates when heat at the site of a fire causes a fusible link or glass component in the sprinkler head to fail, thereby releasing the water from the sprinkler head. [5] This means that only the sprinkler heads at the fire location actuate – not all the sprinklers on a floor or in a building.

  5. Fire sprinkler system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_sprinkler_system

    Suppression mode sprinklers, also known as Early Suppression Fast Response sprinklers, are intended to result in a severe sudden reduction of the heat release rate of the fire, prior to manual intervention. Control mode sprinkler systems are designed using an area and density approach.

  6. Hydraulic calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_calculation

    The hydraulic calculation procedure is defined in the applicable reference model codes such as that published by the US-based National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), [2] or the EN 12845 standard, Fixed firefighting system – Automatic sprinkler systems – Design, installation and maintenance.

    A fire sprinkler mounted on a ceiling. A fire sprinkler or sprinkler head is the component of a fire sprinkler system that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has been exceeded. Fire sprinklers are extensively used worldwide, with over 40 million sprinkler heads fitted each year.

  8. Automatic fire suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_fire_suppression

    Examples of automatic systems include fire sprinkler system, gaseous fire suppression, and condensed aerosol fire suppression. When fires are extinguished in the early stages loss of life is minimal since 93% of all fire-related deaths occur once the fire has progressed beyond the early stages.

  9. Booster pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

    The engine needs a fuel tank and an automatic controller that will start the booster pump when it is needed. A small auxiliary electrically-powered booster pump (called a "jockey pump") is often included in the system to maintain the sprinkler pipes at sufficient pressure, without requiring startup of the large diesel engine.
