Fast Repsonse Sprinklers in Patient Room Fires
The Center for Fire Research conducted a series of tests which examined the use of automatic sprinklers in patient room fires. The full-scale fire tests were conducted in a patient room, corridor, lobby test arrangement. The results of tests, involving mattresses and bedding as the burning items, indicated that smoke obscuration was significantly lower in tests where simulated fast response sprinklers were used. In tests involving combustible clothing wardrobes however, the simulated fast response sprinklers did not improve overall performance compared to the results of tests with conventional fusible element sprinklers.
