General Design Considerations

- Max. No. of Nozzels in the System 20

- Maximum Agent Flow Rate per Nozzel 9.07 kg/sec
- Maximum Discharge Time 10 sec
- Nozzel Maximum Coverage Radius 8.70 m
10.90
- Min. Nozzel Pressure 73 psi
- Maximum Ceiling Height 4.87 m
- Nozzel Max. Distance from Ceiling 0.30 m
- False Ceiling or Raised Floor Min. Height 0.30 m
- Space Min. agent percentage in combind system 10 %
- Beams that are less than 0.3 m below the slab need not be considered. Obstructions greater than 300
mm (12) can affect the distribution of agent and may require additional nozzles.
- The max. elevation difference between the container outlet and the furthest horizontal pipe run or
discharge nozzle (whichever is furthest) shall not exceed 9.1 m.
- The max. elevation difference between the furthest horizontal pipe runs or discharge nozzles (whicheve
is furthest) shall not exceed 9.1 m.
- The agent design concentration shall be checked to insure that it is under NOAEL at maximum
anticipated temperature in the hazard space.
- Sizing is based on NFPA-2001
