What is the role of a fire pump in a wet pipe versus a dry pipe sprinkler system?

2024-08-21

 In a wet pipe sprinkler system, the fire pump ensures that water is immediately available in the piping to suppress a fire as soon as a sprinkler head activates. In a dry pipe system, which is used in areas where freezing temperatures are a concern, the fire pump must deliver water quickly once the system is activated, replacing the pressurized air in the pipes to fight the fire.
