Installation of Fire Protection Systems

STOAbstractExternal:
Testing confirmed that smoke would interfere with detection response time for Detronics detectors. Wavelengths emitted from the materials tested can change the results experienced in response time. Detector selection, location, and redundancy are the primary considerations for determining the detector systems used. The distance to the materials to be protected, water travel distance, and water pressure can change the response time. Lake City AAP decided to install a Fenwall sphere that is pressurized with nitrogen to 500psi for fast burning materials (323 ft/s). The Spectrex (UV/IR) detector was selected to be installed with fast response material. Test data indicated that the Detronics detector responded with the greatest speed for slow transition fires (108 ft/s). The Duel Spectrum (IR/IR) detector had the best performance based upon the least number of false alarms for slow transition materials.
