Quick Response Sprinklers in Office Configurations: Fire Test Results

摘要

A series of fire tests in several typical office occupany configurations were conducted in order to address the use of quick response sprinkler technology. These tests included (1) heat release rate tests, (2) compartment fire tests and (3) a large office test. The heat release rate tests were designed to characterize the burning rates of a computer work station and open shelf office storage. The compartment fire tests were designed to examine the effectiveness of quick response sprinklers in typical office fires involving a computer work station or an open office module.
