While many detection systems are available, heat detection is the basis of sprinkler system response. In terms of sprinkler systems, what type of heat release is most associated with their activation?
While many detection systems are available, heat detection is the basis of sprinkler system response. In terms of sprinkler systems, what type of heat release is most associated with their activation?
Sprinkler systems are primarily activated by the heat produced during a fire, which causes the surrounding air to rise and transfer heat through the process of convection. Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (such as air). This rising hot air causes the sprinkler heads to activate and release water to suppress the fire.
Correct Answer is C : Convection
Correct is Convection
