Dry pipe, preaction, time delayed, recycling type system that automatically shuts the water off when heat is reduced below the heat detector operating temperature, and turns the water back on when that temperature is exceeded. The main advantage over a wet pipe sprinkler system is that the firecycle system automatically stops water flow when heat is reduced below the thermal detector temperature located in the vicinity of the fire, and after a 1 to 5 minute preset time delay has elapsed. 1, record 3, English, - firecycle%20sprinkler%20system

... a preaction sprinkler system may be designed to reduce accidental tripping of the water supply valve by cross-zoning smoke detectors within a zone. Cross-zoning requires the activation of two smoke detectors before water is released into the dry pipe system. Upon the activation of the first smoke detector an alarm is sounded in the control room to warn staff of the situation so that they may react without delay, and possibly manage the fire by hand, and therefore prevent water release into the system. 1, record 5, English, - cross%2Dzoning

This fibre optic viewing head extension is particularly useful for solving the sighting problems associated with tilting or movable burners. The flame envelope from this type of burner can be tilted from a horizontal position up or down as much as 30 degrees. It would be impossible to follow this flame pattern with a fixed sighting through the wind-box. Welding the tip guide (lens end) of this viewing head extension to the movable air compartment nozzle solves this problem. This viewing head extension can also be used for those applications where it is impossible to find a clear unobstructed view of the flame using a standard sight pipe. Here again the viewing head extension is mounted inside the furnace for a clear unobstructed view of the flame. 4, record 7, English, - sighting%20pipe
