Dry pipe systems require ultra dry, ultra clean compressed air and our air compressors with desiccant dryers are designed specifically for these applications.
A dry pipe sprinkler system provides protection in cold areas of a building where very low or freezing temperatures can be expected. This would include places such as walk-in commercial freezers, unheated warehouse spaces, loading docks open to the outside and other similar locations.
If warm air enters a cold space such as these, the rapid cooling of the air means it can hold less moisture and hence condensation forms and this water can then freeze. In the worst cases whole sections of pipe can become blocked by ice and hence render the fire sprinklers inoperable.
This is where a dry air system ensures very little moisture can enter the sprinkler pipes as the compressed air has been passed through a desiccant dryer prior to reaching the sprinkler heads.
