The expediency of using nitinol, which is a material with the shape memory effect (SME), as a sensitive element (SE) of a sprinkler has been substantiated. The influence of various parameters on the SE dimensions is analyzed and it is shown that the response time of an element made of a material with the shape memory effect depends on the dimensions of the fixing device (FD) (the diameter of the glass bulb and its thickness). Calculations have shown that the use of the material minimizes the response time of the sprinkler. It is shown that the response time depends on the voltage (or current) in the electrical network, on the size of the fixing device, the cross-sectional radius of the actuator and the critical temperature at which the actuator is triggered.
