Today marks the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London. On 2nd September 1666 a small fire started at Thomas Farriner’s bakery on Pudding Lane just after midnight. The small fire soon turned into a catastrophic blaze, destroying the homes of 70,000 of the City’s 80,000 inhabitants. No one could have ever imagined a worse day for the City …
Pressure gauges make up part of the key component of any compliant fire sprinkler system. The system itself is made up of a series of pipes connected to fire sprinkler heads. The pipe network contains a constant water supply. This water has to be kept at an adequate pressure and flow rate. Intricate pressure gauges are used to maintain this …
Flow switches are a common part of all sprinkler systems. They detect that water is flowing in the sprinkler system and give an electrical signal to the fire alarm control system to tell it that the sprinklers are operating. Multiple switches will be present in any system design so that the location of the water flow and hence sprinkler operation …
Jockey pumps are an important part of a fire sprinkler system. Basically they are small pumps connected to a fire protection piping system with the aim to maintain uniform or artificially high pressure in the pipes. If a fire sprinkler is activated, there will be a pressure drop that will be sensed by the pump’s automatic controller. This will cause …
Air compressors have several applications, especially in the industrial sector. Basically, their task is to convert power into pressurised air that is then ready for use. We use air compressors for different purposes like, for instance, providing pressurised air for driving pneumatic HVAC control system valves in some buildings, we use them for paint spraying or for supplying large-scale industrial …
Since 2010, when SEP moved into new premises due to the requirement for greater production and warehouse facilities, we have continued to grow, especially over the last 18 months, and something needed to change. Our recent need to create locations for new and more stock and working areas has been done on something of an ad-hoc basis, as space could be conveniently created. The result …
