Nash, P., Bridge, N.W. and Young, R.A., 1972. EXPERIMENTS WITH SPRINKLERS IN HIGH RACKED STORAGES (1) EXTINCTION WITH CENTRALLY MOUNTED SPRINKLERS. Fire Research Notes 916
ABSTRACT
A series of experiments has been carried out to determine the effects of sprinklers mounted in the centre of a storage rack on fires propagating up the face of the stack. The number of heads required to extinguish fires at various stages of development was found, and it was concluded that a satisfactory system would result from grouping sprinklers vertically and operating a group by means of a line detector. When the pallets were 2/3full the fire moved from the face to the centre of the stack.
