F1FR28 Series sprinklers to apply wa-
ter to a fire much faster than standard
sprinklers of the same temperature rat-
ing.
The glass bulb consists of an accu-
rately controlled amount of special fluid
hermetically sealed inside a precisely
manufactured glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially
constructed to provide fast thermal response.
At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the fluid
in both the liquid and vapor phases. The vapor phase can
be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the liquid
expands, forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the liq-
uid pressure increases. Continued heating forces the liquid
to push out against the bulb, causing the glass to shatter,
opening the waterway and allowing the deflector to distrib-
ute the discharging water.
