And at the 7 PSI operating pressure you'd only need for any relevant density to protect seating, you'd have large droplets- if not a stream of water :)
Wouldn't you end up just following the flame front a couple minutes after the fuel was used up if the place DID catch fire? Maybe a detection system that isn't very prone to false trips activating a water cannon system isn't such a bad idea. And certainly a good candidate for a sharp Fpe to do performance based design, in consultation with the AHJ. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roland Huggins Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 2:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Help!! Sprinkler in Planetarium We ere actually looking at how many megawatts were needed for activation. It appears that the models are excessive conservative on this issue. If we wanted to relate excessive clearance over storage with high ceiling performance (not an unreasonable leap), then the annex (A. 12.1.3.4) confirms that the K-11.2 and larger performs better. For those of you that have one of the initial printings of 13, this section has an Errata since it initially said "larger orifice sprinkler K-5.6 and larger". Since NO ONE considers a 5.6 as being larger, it was an easy one to catch. Roland On Sep 10, 2008, at 10:32 AM, Thom McMahon wrote: > Roland?
