This scenario does not fall within NFPA 13 limits of a minimum 18" clearance.
Hughes Associates as done some performance based testing at their facility. You can contact them for assistance. The system we have on campus has the auto park feature to create flue spaces in the event of a fire. The compact shelves are tied into the fire alarm system to accomplish this task.

The tops of these cabinets are 10" below a drop-in tile ceiling. All pipe is above this ceiling and using pendent sprinklers.
