Calculating Sprinkler Actuation Time in Compartments
A generalized method is presented for determining the response time for thermally actuated sprinklers installed near the ceiling of both large and small compartments. A substitute source for the actual fire is calculated to account for the effects of a warm gas layer in the upper portion of the enclosure on ceiling-layer flow temperatures. Illustrative examples are given for the change in response time for sprinklers. For comparative purposes sprinkler response is also calculated for the limiting case of an unconfined ceiling.
