Abstract:Heat collection plates (HCP) are installed above sprinkler heads in some tall
halls in the Asia-Oceania region to give faster thermal actuation. In this
study, experiments were thus conducted in a fire chamber to determine
thermal activation times of sprinkler heads with and without HCP. Three HCPs
with different diameters were selected and tested with pendent fast response
liquid-in-bulb sprinkler heads. A total of 48 sprinklers heads were studied
under different conditions of height and poo… Show more
