We’ve done several as OH 2 as well. But I have always wondered what the realistic adequate level of protection would be. The ones we usually deal with have partial-height partitions with “burglar bars” separating the units, which allows the heat to spread across the deck relatively unimpeded. I’ve wondered if this would activate adjacent sprinklers before the adjacent units start to catch fire. And I’ve wondered if QR or SR sprinklers are better (or if it even makes a difference).
Is anyone aware of any fire modeling or burn tests done for these types of units? -Kyle M From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@lists.firesprinkler.org] On Behalf Of Art Tiroly Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2018 1:05 PM To: sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Self storage warehouses They will allow car storage with fuel in the tank. Metal partitions will easily transmit heat to the adjacent unit. No propane tanks. Corp allowed to store overflow stock or equipment. 40,000 SF in low bay. Corridors will have drop ceilings with pendant sprinklers.

This is a change of occupancy. The existing pipe schedule system is not adequate for the hazard. The sprinkler system should be revised and brought up to NFPA design density. Is the appropriate design based on Class A plastic or something less? I could not find anything in archives.
