One of the key reasons for the Grinnell Corp. to exist is theheat-sensitive fire suppression sprinkler. There are two basic designs--oneuses temperature sensitive solder. When a fire occurs, the solder on thesprinkler melts at a specific temperature, opening the valve to saturate thearea with water. The other design uses a glass bulb filled with alcohol orother material. As the heat of a fire permeates a room, the alcohol in theglass bulb expands rapidly and shatters the glass enclosure, again opening thevalve to enable water to flow through the sprinkler.
