Agree with the basic premise made by Ken Wagoner. However, the ESFR has a quick RTI. Is that the case for the sprinklers in the situation originally described by John Irwin? Is it only the temperature of the sprinklers that will cause delay or is RTI a factor as well?
And sprinkler operation is one consideration. If it is an assembly area for children, exit capacity is a primary consideration as well. Scot Deal Excelsior Risk & Fire Engineering gms: +420 606 872 129
