Dry Pipe Fire Extinguisher System: A fire suppression system where pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen instead of water, used in environments prone to freezing. Upon activation by a fire, the air pressure drops, allowing water to fill the pipes and be discharged through sprinkler heads to extinguish the fire. This design prevents water from freezing in the pipes and causing damage.
