MagiCAD 2025 for Revit – Calculation of dry sprinkler systems
Dry sprinkler systems are used when part of the sprinkler network is situated in conditions below the freezing point or above the boiling point of the sprinkler fluid. The dry part of the network is filled with air or nitrogen and separated from the rest of the network with a dry pipe valve. When the sprinklers operate in case of a fire, the pressure in the dry system decreases and the dry valve opens filling the section with water. An accelerator may also be used to speed up the release of air from the pipes.
Filling the empty network with water is a complex task. The movement of water is affected by many different factors, including water source properties, dry valve properties, network design, initial gas pressure, and sprinkler head properties. MagiCAD allows you to define all of the related factors and calculate an accurate water delivery time for the dry sprinkler system.
