Tricel - Model LPCB -Fire Sprinkler Tanks
The LPS 1276 Issue 2.0 standard provides strict regulations that guide all fire sprinkler protection systems. These regulations stem from the increasing number of fires and the severe damage they cause.
For a sprinkler system to be truly effective, it must be designed, installed, and maintained correctly. According to the LPS 1048-1 scheme, specific requirements must be met for the approval of Sprinkler Contractors in the UK and Ireland. This ensures that installers are qualified to design, install, and maintain sprinkler systems that meet high installation standards.
Originally, sprinkler systems were developed to protect property and equipment. However, in recent years, their role has expanded to life safety. They now play a critical role in aiding personnel escape during emergencies. Additionally, sprinkler tanks are multifunctional, supporting fire detection systems, fire alarms, and fire suppression efforts.
Tricel’s sprinkler tanks offer a range of capacities, with options up to 1,300m³. The specific water capacity depends on several factors unique to each application. The capacity of a sprinkler tank is determined by the following key factors:
-
Duration of water supply
-
Mains refill capabilities – Refill duration limits are specified in BS EN12845
-
Wet or dry pipe system
-
Range between the highest and lowest sprinkler – This is based on sprinkler design standards
-
Full holding or reduced capacity – Reduced capacity may be acceptable if the mains refill capabilities are sufficient to meet the water requirements within regulations, depending on specific hazard classifications.
By considering these factors, Tricel ensures that each sprinkler tank is tailored to meet the exact needs of your system, offering optimal performance and compliance.
