If I'm remembering it correctly the statement was that someone had them calc. the area between two "Deluge" systems that were not separated by walls on the assumption that a fire in that area would set off both systems at the same time. This is similar to NAVFAC hangers with Deluge systems where we've had to prove the most demanding two adjacent systems flowing at the same time. I believe that deluge systems, open head foam systems or other special hazard systems (Non-Segregated Gas systems) may be the only cases where the flow thru 2 systems is a greater demand than one, since the remote area is not a square footage, but the entire system.
