Ken, you are way too eloquent. My thought was a hydraulic alarm actuation system.
I recently did a project at a facility with rack storage of Li batteries. I had to go through all of the data and research to try and figure where to start. Given what I learned, even a properly designed 13D system won’t make a dent. (FYI, the warehouse owners didn’t like my recommendations so they moved the storage to another location.) > > On Jul 5, 2023 at 1:50 PM, <Ken Wagoner (mailto:k...@parsleyconsulting.com)> > wrote: > > > Sean, > > Permit me to completely endorse the previous comments from Brett and Chris. > > Let me also add this - there is great value when someone is asking for a > design which is both contrary to the applicable standard, and does not > address the possible concerns for a fire in the occupancy in question, by > asking them to 'put it in writing' and affix their signature.
