What are special hazard sprinkler systems?

A sprinkler system typically is designed to broadcast water over a large area to dowse a fire. It is effective and prevents a fire from further damaging the building or its contents. But what is a “special hazard” sprinkler system?

Special hazard fire sprinkler systems protect installations or inventory that is of exceptionally high monetary (or other type) value. Museums, libraries, archives, art galleries, and record-keeping facilities use special hazard fire sprinklers to prevent fire but protect from damage the building’s inventory.

The Fire Suppression Systems Association (FSSA) is an organization of manufacturers, suppliers, and designer-installers, dedicated to providing this higher level of fire protection. The FSSA identifies these benefits of a special hazard fire protection system:

• Quickly detect an emerging fire or heat condition
• Suppress fires when sprinklers are not appropriate as the first and only means of fire protection
• Protect people
• Mitigate business interruption
• Limit the loss of assets, information and revenue
• Require uniquely trained and qualified personnel to design, install, service, repair and maintain these systems

Special Hazard Fire Protection systems provide detection and control coupled with a fire suppression system. Some common fire suppression agents used in these systems include:

• Clean Agents
• Inert Gases
• CO2
• Water Mist
• Foam
• Hybrid Systems
• Dry Chemical
