1
Q

M01 - 2 types of sprinkler systems:

A

11.25
Wet: Water under sufficient pressure to provide immediate and continuous discharge via sprinkler heads automatically.

Dry: Pipes filled with air which releases via sprinkler heads making way for water into pipes (good if exposed to cold) (sub categories: deluge & pre-action)

27
Q

M26 - Describe a central system and it’s advantages. (5)

A

Heat is supplied or extracted by large equipment in one or more large mech rooms.

1 + generally quieter
2 + more energy efficient
3 + offer better IAQ (indoor air quality)
4 + lasts longer
5 + more convenient to service
28
Q

M27 Describe a local system and it’s advantages. (3)

A

Independent self-contained pieces of heating /cooling equipment located throughout build., one or more per room.

1 + cheaper to buy + install
2 + occupy less space in the building overall
(no mech room or ductwork)
3 + great for buildings with many small spaces which rqr individual temp. control
