Plus those design schemes relate to specific criteria as referenced from various Tables within NFPA 30. They are not stand alone.

'08 - 16.6.1.6 and .7 clearly says to me anyway we don't have to calc the in-racks and overhead simultaneously. Seems a significant departure from normal. So I am reading this right? My only thought is there are so many heads in the rack with a barrier we wouldn't expect the ceiling heads to operate? I do see the option when you leave out the barrier we are back to normal balancing. Chris Cahill, P.E.
