Radiant heat heats objects not air. If the sprinkler is in the path of the 
infrared, it may be an issue. The yoga studio I go to has radiant ceiling 
panels that heat the room up to 90 degrees plus. I believe the sprinklers are 
ordinary temperature, but I will check when I am over there next

What Joe said.  Normal separation distances are based on convection (aka air 
flow) whereas panels operate by radiant heat exchange that can extend long 
distances.  Case in point, big box stores often have them at the entrance where 
they are 20 ft in the air but yet it still feels nice and toasty on the floor 
beneath it.  I must confess this issue has never popped up before so I don’t 
have a definitive answer for you.  Let us know what the mfg says.

I would get the manufacturers data sheet. It should have a side profile with 
the heat zones shown so you can see what the temps are and how far out and 
above.

Is there any guidance on the distance away from radiant heat panels (180F) for 
ordinary and intermediate temperature sprinklers in NFPA?
We follow the 2007 edition of 13.  I told my designer to treat them as a 
horizontal discharge diffuser for right now but wanted to see if there was more 
information available.
Thank you,
