EXPERIMENTS WITH SPRINKLERS IN HIGH-RACKED STORAGES (2) EXTINCTION WITH FACE-MOUNTED SPRINKLERS
Nash, P., Bridge, N.W. and Young, R.A., 1972. EXPERIMENTS WITH SPRINKLERS IN HIGH-RACKED STORAGES (2) EXTINCTION WITH FACE-MOUNTED SPRINKLERS. Fire Research Notes914
A series of experiments has been carried out to determine the effectiveness
of sprinklers, mounted on the faces of a storage rack, in the extinction of fires
developing in the goods in the rack. It was concluded that a reasonably effective
extinction system could be arranged (provided that the sprinklers were activitated
by a line detector system) but that the arrangement would generally be less
satisfactory than a system employing centrally-mounted sprinklers.
