The invention relates to a spray mist nozzle, in particular an open high-pressure spray mist nozzle for firefighting systems, having a housing which is configured with an extinguishing fluid inlet and is configured with multiple recesses for receiving an exchangeable nozzle insert, such a nozzle insert being inserted into one, multiple/plural or all the recesses. The nozzle insert has a main body with a longitudinal axis that has in the longitudinal axis a spray mist outlet for the extinguishing fluid. An exchangeable swirl body is arranged in the main body and is configured to swirl the extinguishing fluid prior to the latter exiting from the spray mist outlet. The spray mist outlet has a minimum opening cross section, and has a widened exit cross section downstream of the minimum opening cross section, wherein a transition from the minimum opening cross section to the exit cross section runs along a convexly curved surface.

A protective cover for a fire protection sprinkler includes a pair of sidewalls and an orthogonal wall structure connected to an upper edge of each of the pair of sidewalls. The orthogonal wall structure including a slot therein that opens along an edge of the orthogonal wall structure in alignment with an opening between the pair of sidewalls. The slot including a pair of side edges including a pair of opposing arcuate regions adapted to engage a deflector mounting boss of a fire protection sprinkler. An arcuate sidewall extends from the orthogonal wall structure and an upper wall extending inward from an upper edge of the arcuate sidewall and opposing the orthogonal wall structure to define a cavity that is adapted for receiving a deflector of a fire protection sprinkler.

The invention relates to a sprinkler housing () for a sprinkler (), in particular for operating pressures above 16 bar, comprising a fluid channel () which is provided in the sprinkler housing () and has a fluid inlet () and at least one fluid outlet (), a closure element (), which is movable from a blocking position into a release position in a release direction (A), wherein the closure element () closes the fluid channel () in the blocking position and releases same in the release position, a sealing element (), which is mounted on the closure element () and is designed to close the fluid channel () in a fluid-tight manner in the blocking position, wherein a protective chamber in which the sealing element () is arranged is defined between the closure element () and the recess () in the release position.

Sprinkler housing for a sprinkler, sprinkler for fire extinguishing systems, and use thereof

A sprinkler (), includes a sprinkler housing, a fluid channel which is provided in the sprinkler housing and has a fluid inlet () and at least one fluid outlet (), a closure element (), which is movable from a blocking position into a release position, wherein the closure element () closes the fluid channel in the blocking position and releases same in the release position, a thermally activatable triggering element (), which keeps the closure element () in the blocking position until thermally activated, and a sealing element (), which is arranged between the sprinkler housing and the closure element () and is designed to close the fluid channel in a fluid-tight manner in the blocking position. A sealing element () is radially and axially compressed in the blocking position in order to apply the sealing effect.
