One characteristic of a dry-pipe system is a delay in time between the opening of a sprinkler and the discharge of water, which may allow the fire to spread and more sprinklers to open. The delay is due to the time required to exhaust the air from the sprinkler piping. The difficulty may be partly overcome by installation of quick-opening devices which either increase the rate of discharge of air from the piping or accelerate opening of the dry valve when one or more sprinklers operate, depending upon the type of device used. 4, record 1, English, - quick%2Dopening%20device

Pre-action Systems : Pre-action systems are dry-pipe systems in which the air in the piping may or may not be under pressure. When a fire occurs, a supplementary fire detecting device in the protected area is actuated. This opens a valve which permits water to flow into the piping system before a sprinkler is activated. Then there is no further delay when a sprinkler is subsequently opened by the heat of the fire. 8, record 2, English, - pre%2Daction%20automatic%20sprinkler%20system

This build up is mainly due to the presence of oxygen and moisture in the sprinkler piping. Moisture and condensation from room humidity, air supply drawn by the dry pipe air compressor, and wetting the pipe wall by accidental tripping of the dry pipe valve, and by full flow trip tests... furthers the development of scale. 1, record 6, English, - dry%20pipe%20air%20compressor
