This plan is specifically based on the 1994 Editions of UFC Article 81, UFC Standard 81-2, and the Uniform Building Code. GENERAL Distance to exits do not exceed 200 feet at any point in the building. The building is approximately 96,000 square feet; The building is completely sprinklered and exceeds, or complies, with all applicable standards governing high pile stock warehouses. SPRINKLER CALCULATIONS Utilizing the UFC Standard 81-2 the sprinkler design densities are determined based on the following information: Aisles Height of Storage Type of Rack Commodity Class Shelving Ceiling Height 44 Inches or Greater Up to 22 Feet Single and Double Row I-IV, with limited Group A Plastics Pallet racks without shelving and hand stack racks with grated shelving 24 Feet Per section 10-1.1 of the UFC Standard 81-2, ESFR systems is permitted for the sprinkler protection of cartoned Class I-IV and Group A plastics in single row, double row, and multi-row racks up to a height of 25 feet (see attached excerpt). TCFI CONSOLIDATED FIREPROTECTION iNC AF' D sisn Gr w> Co Nellcor Puritan Bennett (Cont) Page 2 ^ire sp"1^'61" system for this warehouse is over designed in that: 1 . The warehouse is protected based on a complete Group A Plastics warehouse. 2. The warehouse is protected for storage up to 25 feet, when commodities are stored to 22 feet. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS The quantities, materials safety data sheets, and classification of hazardous materials is listed in Appendix A. The following table is a summary of hazardous materials classification, quantities, and allowable quantities per Uniform Fire Code: Table 1.

CURTAIN BOARDS On behalf of Nellcor Puritan Bennett we are requesting the elimination of draft curtains in their new warehouse facility in Carlsbad. This request is based on the recently approved code change (Appendix B). See attached excerpt of the agenda for the code change session of the International Fire Code Institute. Please note that Item #100 was approved as amended by the challenge printed in the monograph. SMOKE AND HEAT VENTS On behalf of Nellcor Puritan Bennett, we are requesting the elimination of smoke and heat vent requirements in the warehouse. The basis for this request is the nature of the early response and suppression of the ESFR system, and the interference of smoke and heat vents in the early actuation of the sprinklers. As an equivalency, Nellcor Puritan Bennett will be providing an ESFR system in the store, which will not only respond to the fire at the early stages of the fire and control the fire, but it is also designed to suppress the fire. ESFR Systems: ESFR systems are unique fire sprinkler systems in that they actuate at the very early stages of a fire; they actuate in less than one minute, while conventional sprinkler systems actuate within the first 5 minutes of the fire. ESFR systems are recommended typically for their superior performance as they are designed to respond quickly and suppress a fire. Conventional sprinkler systems can only control the fire, and manual operation is required for suppression. ESFR system's capability to suppress a fire is mostly due to its early detection of the fire, tremendous pressures (in the range of 50 psi per sprinkler head) and volume of water discharge (in the range of 100 gallons per sprinkler head). ESFR systems are also unique in their "operational flexibility"; changes to commodities, storage arrangement, clearances to the ceiling, and storage height does not effect the system effectiveness. Effect of Smoke and Heat Vent on an ESFR System: The effectiveness of smoke and heat vents on the operation of ESFR systems has been studied and tested by Gunner Heskestad of Factory Mutual. Based on a series of testing performed at Factory Mutual (see Appendix C), it has been concluded that the actuation of smoke and heat vents may be detrimental to the ESFR systems in that the operation of sprinkler heads may be severely delayed if a smoke and heat vent in the vicinity of the ignition opens before the sprinkler head actuates. FCFI CONSOLIDATED FIREPROTECTfON IMC. A Fire Design Group Co. Nellcor Puritan Bennett (Cont) Page 4 During the testing, sprinkler head operations were delayed by 50 seconds, when a smoke and heat vent was actuated first. Although 50 seconds may not appear as a substantial difference in standard sprinkler actuation time, the success of ESFR systems is dependent on their ability to actuate very quickly, and thereby suppressing the fire before the fire has become severe; therefore, the 50 second delay in sprinkler actuation is approximately a 100% increase in actuation time of an ESFR system. The Factory Mutual testing also showed that if the smoke and heat vents are further away from the ignition, the ESFR system will actuate first, in which case the smoke and heat vent never actuates. This test is of particular interest because it shows the superiority of the ESFR system in suppression. The most effective method of reducing the amount of smoke and heat is through effective suppression of the fire. GENERAL FIRE PROTECTION No smoking will be permitted in the building. Aisle ways should not be blocked and a minimum of 44" clearance will be maintained for all aisles when stocking is being done and merchandise will be kept on one side of the aisle. Exit doors will be kept unobstructed and will be opened weekly to ensure their operation. Exit signs will be kept illuminated while the building is occupied and the emergency lighting in the building will be checked on a monthly basis. Fire extinguishers will be mounted three feet to five feet from the floor in a conspicuous area and identified with a sign. Fire extinguishers will be placed so that an occupant would not have to travel more than 75 feet to reach one. Preferred locations may be designated by the Fire Marshal. Employees will be trained in the proper use of fire extinguishers. SMALL HOSE CONNECTIONS Small hose connections from the adjacent sprinkler system will be installed so that one hundred feet of hose will reach any part of the building. We understand the value of small hose connections and support the proper installation of them. It is requested, however, that the hose, nozzle and rack requirements be waived. Section 81.110(b) of the UFC allows this latitude. We do not want the employees to take time to try and fight a fire with 1-1/2 inch hose lines in high pile stock areas. This is a dangerous fire fighting procedure. The presence of this hose only tempts employees to engage in fire fighting when they should be directing their energies to the evacuation from the building. CONSOLIDATED FIREPROTECTfON INC. A Fire Design Group Co. Nellcor Puritan Bennett (Cont) Page 5 To summarize our reasons for this request: 1. Fire Departments carry their own hose packets and are generally trained not use this equipment. 2. Employees are directed specifically not to use this equipment, but to evacuate the building. 3. Liability risks, if employees do use this equipment and are injured or killed. 4. Maintenance of the equipment is difficult. 5. The initial expenses of the equipment ($900.00 to $1,600.00 per station). 6. There is extra fire protection design in the building to make this equipment unnecessary. As this building is fully protected with sprinkler systems which will contain the fires without the first aid 1-1/2 inch hose lines. Fire extinguishers are provided for small incipient fires. We feel this fire protection plan is complete and provides adequate fire and life safety for the occupants of the building.

INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE INSTITUTE, INC. 5360 Workman Mill Road Whittier, CA 90601-2298 ITEM 99 fTEM109 0 resistive wall with opening protected with one-hour fire resistance. The concept of requiring sprinklers throughout the building is appropriate because, if a fire began in the unprotected part of the building, the sprinkler protection within the storage area may be overpowered without proper separation. Consideration should be given to the performance of a one-hour wall. . Overall, this proposal would clarify and streamline the requirements of Article 81. Through the clarification, the intent of Article 81 can be more clearly understood. • ' The proponent moved to amend the code change by deleting die exception to Section 8102.3.2.1 because it is already found in the code. This amendment was approved. Approval as Revised Item 100 8102.7.3-96-1—C.F.C.A. As Revised: Table 81-B, page 1-361. Delete Footnote 2 and substitute as follows: 2When areas of buildings are equipped with early suppression-fast response (ESFR) sprinklers, the curtain boards within these areas shall be located only at the perimeters of each ESFR sprinkler system. Reason: The proposal revises Footnote 2 of Table 81-B. The proposal is intended to coincide with the charging statement in Section 8102.7.3. This revi- sion clarifies the footnote. Currently, it is unclear whether curtain boards are intended to be provided around each ESFR sprinkler system. This clarifies the intent expressed during the Article 81 rewrite that each ESFR sprinkler system be provided with a curtain board at the perimeter. Item 101 8104.3-96-1—C.F.C.A. Disapproval Reason; The proposal has merits because, by compiling the information in table format, confusion would be eliminated and this section would be more user friendly. However, concerns were raised regarding requiring flue spaces in nonsprin- klered buildings, clarifying Footnote 3 and trying to make the table more user friendly. Item 102 8203.2.1.5-96-1—A.H.M.A. Disapproval Reason: This revision basically alters Article 82 to allow the use of LP-gas for commercial food service. It has been suggested that many restaurants cur- rently are using LP-gas illegally in large quantities. This code change has merit because it would legalize the use of LP-gas for such purposes and limit the quan- tity and restrict the equipment used. This would provide restaurants and com- mercial caterers with a legal and safe way to use LP-gas. Issues were raised regarding inconsistencies with NFPA standards. Item 103 8212.7-96-1 — P.M. A.C. Disapproval Reason: This revision will prohibit the storage and use of LP-gas within base- ments, pits and subgrade areas. An exception is also provided which would allow limited amounts for small repairs such as sweating pipes. These provisions are similar to the Mechanical Code prohibition for LP-gas appliances in such areas (U.M.C. Section 304.6), and would make the codes more consistent. Consider- ation should be given, however, to locating provisions for "use" in a more appropriate section. Also, the proposal is not clear on the requirements between the main paragraph and the exception and making reference in the proposal to other sections of the code. Item 104 Approval as Revised8803.3-96-1— C.S.M.A. As Revised: Sec. 88033, page 1-384. Revise the last paragraph as follows: Draft curtains required by Section 8803.3 shall be constructed of noncombustible material and shall be. extended, at least 24Jnches f610 4-faet (1319 mm) or 30 percent of the building height, whichever from the ceiling. Reason: This code change reflects an updated Factory Mutual Research Foundation engineering evaluation. At the code hearings, the proponent sub- mitted the required supporting documentation, which is based on the Factory Mutual Research Foundation Technical Report on the Response of Sprinkler Links to Rack Storage Fires by Hsiang-Cheng Kung, Robert D. Spaulding and Hong-Zeng You, report number OG2E7.RA. The proponent also submitted Fac- tory Mutual Loss Prevention Data 2-2, May 1995, pages I through 15, as sup- porting documentation at the code hearings. Item 105 9003-96-1— C.F.C.A. Approval Section 9003, standard f.1.1, page 1-393. Revise as follows: f.1.1 833 Rack Storage of MatBrials 8-9 Storage nf Class T II..JIL IV and Plastic Reason: Factory Mutual has eliminated Standard 8-33 and merged those pro- visions with Standard 8-9, "Storage of Class I, n, HI. IV and Plastic Commodi- ties." Those previous provisions are now found in a single standard. The proposal would update Section 9003 to reflect current changes in the doc- uments adopted by the Fire Code. According to page 3 of Factory Mutual Data Sheet 8-9. this is a new data sheet which combines former FME&R Data Sheets 8-9, "Storage of Plastics and Elastomers Including Polyurethane, Expanded Rubber and Crude Natural and Crude Synthetic Rubber," dated February 1981; 8-25. "Indoor General Storage. " dated November 1981; and 8-33, "Rack Storage of Materials, " dated January 1984. Item 106 9003-96-2— E.S.G. Disapproval Reason: This code change would add both the Hazardous Materials Classifi- cation Guide and HMEx software as referenced standards. The reasoning for this proposal is based on the discussion following disapproval of Item 81 during the 1994-1995 code change cycle which suggested deleting the examples within Appendix VI-A and instead referencing the Hazardous Materials Classification Guide. Also, the proponent feels that use of such a guide must be accepted through some type of consensus. Consideration may be given to including an updated and brief guide within the appendix for quick-reference purposes. How- ever. it should be noted that the Hazardous Materials Classification Guide is not a standard and it does not seem appropriate to insert it as a recognized standard. Also, it is unnecessary to include Item i.2.2 since the software is the same as the guide. U.F.C. APPENDIX Item 107 A-M-E-96-1— A.F.C.C. Approval Appendix U-E, page 1-419. Delete the exception to Section 2.1. Reason: The exception to Section 2.1 was not intended to exclude all con- sumer products in consumer packaging. These products are found in large quan- tities in warehouses awaiting distribution as well as in the vary large superstores and they need to be included in the inventory to determine the occupancy classi- fication. Materials used in maintenance orjani torial tasks around the occupancy could involve large quantities depending on the size and type of the occupancy and the definition of minor maintenance. It seems proper to delete the exception and allow the chief to exempt insignificant quantities if it is appropriate. Item 108 Approval as RevisedA-ll-F-96-1—Con.WH.C.S. As Revised: Appendix n-F, page 1-432. Revise Section 4.1 as follows: 4.1 General. Protected aboveground tanks shall be listed and shall meet the requirements of specified in U.F.C. Standard A-II-F-1 and shall be labeled accordingly^ Reason: The committee voted to not delete the text "shall be listed and" and to approve the remaining part of the proposal as submitted. The general consensus was that "listed" and "labeled" have different mean- ings and serve different purposes. The intent of this code change is to clarify the application of this section, which establishes the performance criteria for pro- tected aboveground tanks in accordance with U,F,C. Standard A-II-F-1. This standard does not specify a listing but, rather, requires labeling of the protected aboveground tank to show that it meets the performance criteria in the standard, including any limitations. Item 109 A-ll-F-96-2—Con.WH.C.SJT.T.I. Approval Appendix n-F, page 1-432. Revise Section 43 as follows: 25 APPENDIX C 6( - TECHNICAL REPORT EFFECT OF GRAVITY AND POWER VENTS ON OPERATION OF ESFR SPRINKLERS© i i by Gunnar Heskestad Prepared for D Factory Mutual Research Corporation Short Range Research Program - Project 92-6 i FMRC J.I.

L i FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU ABSTBACT Reduced-scale model tests have been conducted to determine whether automatic gravity vents (used for heat and smoke venting) and power vents (used for comfort ventilation) may adversely affect operation of ESFR sprin- klers, and to identify possible solutions. The data show that sprinkler operations may be severely delayed if ignition occurs sufficiently close to a vent. In the case of gravity vents, the vents can be provided with fusible links rated no lower than 360°F to greatly reduce the probability that the vents open prior to the sprinklers. In the case of power vents, in order to limit the delay in sprinkler operations, individual vents may be provided with fire detectors and a mechanism to shut down the vent flow within a standard interval from detection on the order of 20 s. However, since the cost of such systems may be significant, it is recommended that a full scale test be conducted to investigate whether the delay in ESFR sprinkler operations is indeed detrimental. ®Copyright 1993 Factory Mutual Research Corporation.

The objective was to 'determine the actual extent of the problem and to identify possible solutions. Powered ventilation, as used here, is not the same as mechanical venti- lation, the latter being equivalent to automatic gravity vents using fans or blowers to exhaust heat and smoke. Rather, the term refers to powered exhaust (power vents) operating continuously in warm climates to provide comfort ventilation in warehouses and industrial plants. Tests were conducted in a 1:12.5 scale model. Reduced-scale modeling of sprinklered fires has been successfully employed in the past at FMRC with a variety of objectives^1""'. Two programs have dealt with ESFR sprinklers, one on the effect of beamed ceilings**/ and the other on the effect of sloped ceilings^ ' on ESFR sprinkler response. Reduced-scale modeling is considered reliable at least until the first sprinkler operates. In some cases it can be considered reliable even after the first sprinkler operation^"'. If the linear scale ratio is S (12.5 in this investigation), then the heat-release c/p •] /prate in the model, multiplied by S-* , varies with model time, times S ' , in . the same way as the corresponding full scale heat-release history^'. Full scale times and velocities are S ' times the corresponding model values. Modeling of sprinkler sprays requires special considerations^'. The sprinkler response time index'' (RTI) is modeled as S~ times the value in full scale. i FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU II EXPERIMENTAL ARRANGEHEHTS The FMRC 1:12.5 scale sprinklered building, where the tests were conducted, is shown in Figure 1 as it appeared following the preceding inves- tigation in the model^ *t except for the draft curtain (dashed). The centrally depressed test ceiling carried 36 model ESFR sprinklers on 9.6 in. x 9.6 in. spacing (10 ft x 10 ft full scale). All model ESFR sprinklers (open spray nozzles) were accompanied by individual sensor disks in close proximity, simulating sprinkler links (full scale RTI = 60 [ft*s]1/2 and temperature rating of 165°F). Thermocouples attached to the disks led to temperature controllers, which actuated solenoid valves when the disk temperatures exceeded the set temperature, 165*F, admitting water to the model sprinklers. A simulated 50 ft x 60 ft area (3000 ft2) was curtained off with a simulated H ft deep draft curtain. The fuel array simulated a 19 ft high array (4 tiers) of the Factory Mutual Research Corporation Standard Plastic Commodity; the ceiling clearance above the array was variable in the experiments. An optical density meter of FMRC design''' was installed at model head height above the platform as indicated (ODM); the meter monitored the extinction of a 1 ft long light beam at a wavelength of 0.1J579 urn. Detailed descriptions of the model sprinklers and the fuel array are included in the Appendix. Figure 2 shows a close-up of the curtained-off ceiling area and numbering of sprinklers in "sprinkler rings." The sprinklers A1-A4 form the first sprin- kler ring, the A ring, followed by the B ring and larger (incomplete) rings (C,D). Alternative layouts of gravity vents are represented in this view for a ? ?venting ratio of 1:50 (1 ft£ vent area per 50 fte floor area), based on various sizes of commercial vents, including four U ft x- M ft vents, two 5 ft x 6 ftovents, or one 5.5 ft x 12 ft vent. The 3000 ft curtained area, the vent ratio of 1:50, and the vent sizes and placements are consistent with the Uniform Fire Code, 1988 Edition, for the hazard class of our fuel array. Only if a fire occurs near a vent in an ESFR sprinkler installation can we expect an effect of the vent, and only one vent is likely to be involved (see discussion associated with Figure 7 which confirms this expectation). Therefore, it was decided to place a single vent of a given size centrally in the curtained area, then to investigate various, relative fire placements. It was planned to provide various vent sizes in inserts fitting a cutout in the OWOE8.RU 1o o o o o 6 o o o o o !o o o <?- o- o o o o A? » !*-i o o o o o o o o ---1 0 o o o o o ODM ^ Li 1* I .8 1 *~ || - ^- Adjustable pi 96x96 I -11" ' 1* ' IVariabfe | t ||" '- j atform ^ JC00 V X o Figure 1.

Johns Manville Marinite I and an upper layer of 5/8 in. plywood) in heavy line relative to central sprinklers, inside of which are Marinite I inserts flush with the ceiling and containing the various planned vent sizes. The three rectangular gravity vents would represent the vents in Figure 2. The three circular vents would represent the power vents, discussed in the next paragraph. Note that the gravity vents are shown centered between two sprinklers. Rotating the insert 180 degrees in the plane of the ceiling would allow the vents to be investigated centered among four sprinklers. In practice, there was no reason to investigate other than the smallest of the gravity vents (4 ft x 4 ft full scale). The plans for the power vents were based on responses to inquiries sent to FKEO District Offices. Examples of exhaust fans operating in circular openings varying in diameter from 4 to 9 ft were given, with average air flow velocities in the opening ranging from 30 to 39 ft/s. It was originally decided to consider the three opening diameters, 4.50 ft (4.32 in. model), 6.36 ft (6.11 in. model) and 9-00 ft (8.64 in. model); these are the three diameters represented in Figure 3- A common opening air velocity (STP) of 39 ft/s was selected (11 ft/s in model). In practice, only the smallest diameter was investigated. Figure 4 illustrates the model vents. Figure 4a is a model of a 4 ft x . 4 ft gravity vent, provided with a brass disk simulation of a fusible link 1 having an RTI of 280 (ft*s)1/2. The temperature of a thermocouple attached to the disk was monitored on a panel meter; in the simulated automatic mode, the HScover was lifted by a string, well clear of the opening (at least two vent diameters), when the temperature of the disk exceeded the pre-selected tern- p perature rating. The 4.5 ft diameter power vent was simulated with an open ' - circular vent of corresponding diameter in a suction plenum, as illustrated in « Figure 4b, the suction flow being provided by a fan and monitored with an (.. orifice meter. To simulate shut-down, a vent cover, suspended from a wire, was dropped into place, guided by vertical steel rods. Two seconds prior to the closing operation, a vent to the atmosphere, 6 in. square, was opened in the top of the suction plenum to prevent low plenum pressures from interfering with the vent cover seating. Data of temperatures, optical densities, water pressure and status of the sprinklers were recorded at 1 scan per second, using a Digital Equipment Corporation MINC computer. u FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU i B5 O O Insert in ceiling of model (heavy line) relative to sprinkler pattern with vent configurations of interest (three rectangular gravity vents and three circular power vent*).

The first 12 tests were preliminary, using the basic model without vents and draft curtains. Measurements were made of sprinkler operating times, gas temperatures at the sprinkler sites, and the optical density near the floor level. Tests 13-30 were baseline tests without vents, with ignition centered either under four sprinklers or under two sprinklers. Some of these were without draft curtains. Tests 31-5*1 were devoted to simulations of 4 ft x 4 ft gravity vents. Vent locations centered between two sprinklers and among four sprinklers were investigated, along with different ignition locations relative to the vent, different fuel-ceiling clearances and vent temperature ratings. A few tests were conducted with the vent cover closed and ignition directly underneath, recording the temperature of the simulated vent link. Tests 55-69 were devoted to simulations'of ^.5 ft diameter power vents, centered among four sprinklers. The simulated vent flow was 37,000 SCFM (67 SCFM in model), initiated before ignition to simulate normal (comfort) venti- lation. Effects on sprinkler operations were investigated by closing the vent at different times from ignition, simulating possible field practice of auto- matically shutting down a ventilator upon fire gases being detected in the ' ventilator flow. Effects of fuel-ceiling clearance and ignition location relative to the vent were investigated. Detailed tables of experiments and results are included in the Appendix, along with graphical data. Key results are discussed here. 3.1 GRAVITY VENTS Figure 5 presents results from tests with the vent inactive (closed) and ignition directly under the vent, showing the temperature of the vent link at the moment the first sprinkler operated. Two cases are represented, Case 1 with the vent centered between two sprinklers, and Case 2 with the vent centered among four sprinklers. The temperatures range from 186 to 610°F, implying that had the vent been in the automatic mode at a temperature rating of 165°F, it would have operated prior to the first sprinkler in all cases.

Gravity vents: Tests with vents inactive (closed) and ignition directly under the vent, showing the vent link temperature at the moment the first sprinkler actuated for various model ceiling clearances. i i FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU were probably associated with fire development resulting in fire plumes that were still laminar when they reached the ceiling in close proximity and should therefore be de-emphasized. Accordingly, extrapolation to full scale behavior indicates that a vent temperature rating of 360°F would, in most cases, prevent operation of the vent prior to the first sprinkler. Figure 6 illustrates the delay in the first sprinkler operation which can be caused by 165°F automatic vents. The figure shows the actuation time of the first sprinkler as a function of the ceiling clearance when the vent is inactive, as compared to the cases when the vent is automatic. The vent is centered among four sprinklers and ignition occurs directly underneath. With the vent inactive (closed), the first sprinkler operated within 50 s from ignition (model time). With the vent automatic, the first sprinkler operation was delayed to over 100 s. Figure 7 shows the delaying effect of automatic, l65°F vents on the actuation time of the first sprinkler for ignition points moving away from directly underneath the vent, when the vent is centered between two sprin- klers. Moving away from directly underneath the vent, the first sprinkler operates earlier and the vent operates later, with the two matching near 3.2 in. (3.3 ft full scale) away from directly underneath the vent. At 7.2 in. (7.5 ft) away, the vent did not operate. 3.2 POWER VENTS Figure.8 pertains to ignition centered under a vent and shows the time of the first indication of a temperature rise in the sprinkler ring surrounding the vent, i.e., the A ring, following closure of the vent. (Time zero means that the vent is closed at ignition.) The dashed line is a reference line corresponding to equal times of vent closure and first indication of tempera- ture rise in the A ring. The data are seen to fall near this line. Conse- quently, hot gas was not sensed by the thermocouples near the sprinklers until the vent was closed. In other words, practically the entire fire plume was absorbed by the vent in all the cases depicted in Figure 8. Effects on the first temperature rise in the A ring of moving the ignition point from directly under the vent are investigated in Figure 9, fixing vent closure at HO s from ignition. For distances from directly under the vent to at least 2.16 in. (2.3 ft full scale), practically the entire fire plume was absorbed. At greater distances, plume fluid began to flow toward the sprinkler positions before vent closure. 10 120 OS01 eu CO OSl-l 1x3zl-(£-« O 1 O 80 FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU O O o o 26s Vent Automatic 40s 42s 40 Vent Inactive I 468 CEILING' CLEARANCE (in.) 10 Figure 6.

FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU Figure 10 is based on the same tests as Figure 8 and shows the time for the first sprinkler operation as a function of the time of vent closure. It is seen that the operation of the first sprinkler is not delayed very much for vent closure times up to 40 s, i.e., near the sprinkler operating time without a vent. Figure 11 is based on the same tests as Figure 9 and shows the time for the first sprinkler operation as a function of distance from the vent for vent I closure at ^0 s. There is little effect of the ignition location. *Finally, Figure 12 presents the results from ad hoc experiments conducted n at the end of the program to explore whether an ESFR sprinkler, centered under ' -' an open power vent, might operate and hence provide protection in those cases ^, where the plume is absorbed by the vent flow and not capable of actuating || sprinklers at the standard positions. A pan fire of heptane floating on water (5.7 g heptane, 340 g water in an aluminum vessel 3.89 in. in diameter, 2.01 B in. high) was burned at a full-scale equivalent distance from the ceiling of 7.6 ft, and at a full-scale equivalent heat release rate of 1300 kW (comparable to heat-release rate at sprinkler actuation of full scale fires). The figure shows the temperature of a central thermocouple in the vent opening at a full- p scale equivalent distance of 3 in. beneath the ceiling plane, plotted as a L< function of the model distance from the vent centerline. With the fire _^ directly under the vent, the temperature is high, implying an ESFR sprinkler y would operate promptly. When the fire is 1.2 in. (1/8 sprinkler spacing) away from the vent centerline, the temperature is only a little over 200°F, marginal ( ,• for prompt operation of ESFR sprinklers. When the fire is 2.*i in. (1/i* sprin- kler spacing) away, the temperature centrally under the vent is only 110°F, incapable of operating the sprinkler at the heat-release rate of the experi- ment. Figure 9 suggests that the plume is completely absorbed at fire loca- tions between 1.2 and 2.M in. (1/8 to 1/M sprinkler spacing) away. For fire locations like this, ESFR sprinklers at both the standard sites and centered unde^ the vent will be delayed significantly. Consequently, installing ESFR sprinklers under power vents is not a satisfactory solution to the problem. To prevent power vents from significantly delaying ESFR sprinkler opera- tions, each vent can be furnished with relatively sensitive fire detectors and a mechanism to shut down the vent flow within a standard interval (perhaps 20 s „ from detection, based on typical ESFR sprinkler operation times of *)0 s in full-scale tests employing Factory Mutual Research Corporation Standard Plastic 15 i FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU 60 f o.

Any detection system based on detection of smoke must take into account the likelihood that many locations in the ventilator flow may not experience smoke flow. Accordingly, optical fire detection may be preferable. i L 19 FACTORY MUTUAl RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU IV CONCLUSIONS 1. Operation of gravity vents before sprinklers would normally operate may delay the first sprinkler operations substantially (Figure 6) and, hence, cause deterioration in ESFR sprinkler protection. 2. For a 165°F sprinkler temperature rating, the temperature rating of gravity vents should be at least 360*F in order to reduce significantly "the probability that a vent will operate before sprinklers do (Figure 5 and text). 3. Power vents designed to operate continuously for comfort ventilation may absorb the entire fire plume if ignition occurs sufficiently close to a vent, preventing sprinklers from operating. For a simulated l|.5 ft dia- meter power vent operating at 37,000 SCFM, the results indicate that the plume could be completely absorbed until the fire is considerably larger than it would be at the time of sprinkler operations without vents (Figure 8). 4. Shutting down a power vent early in a fire may be a means of mitigating the delay in sprinkler operations caused by the vent. Tests have shown that a significant delay in sprinkler operations will occur if vent shut- down and closure is not effected within the time required for sprinklers to operate in the absence of a vent (Figure 10). 5. Installing ESFR sprinklers centrally under power vents may not be a satis- factory solution to the delay in sprinkler operations caused by a vent. There are ignition locations for which the fire plume is completely absorbed by the vent, yet does not expose the central vent location to high enough temperatures to promptly operate the sprinkler (Figure 12). 6. To prevent power vents from significantly delaying ESFR sprinkler opera- tions, each vent can be furnished with relatively sensitive fire detectors and a mechanism to shut down the vent flow within a standard interval (perhaps 20 s from detection). 20 FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OHOE8.RU V RECOMMENDATIONS The provision of detection equipment and mechanisms to shut down power vents in the event of fire may be quite expensive. It is recommended that a full scale test be conducted to assess whether the delay in sprinkler operations caused by power vents is indeed detrimental and requires mitigatory action. A full-scale power vent situation can be simulated by attaching and centering a horizontal ceiling under the rim of the inlet cone of the FMRC Fire Products Collector in the West Glocester, HI, Fire Test Building, incorporating a central U.5 ft diameter vent and providing a suction flow of about 37,000 CFM. The (free) ceiling should be large enough to accommodate at least four ESFR sprinklers. A standard test fire' of FMRC Standard Plastic Commodity is recommended, with ignition centered both under the vent and four sprinklers. c 21 i FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU REFERENCES - 1.

As in the preceding studies*5|6s the model sprinkler was a standard spray nozzle manufactured by SPRACO (Spray Engineering Company), Nozzle no. 11102004. It was mounted in a coupling screwed through a nozzle support attached to the plywood overlay. The discharge face of the nozzle was positioned at a distance of 1.09 in. (13-6 in. full scale) from the ceiling. The top view shows a ceramic insulator tube piercing the ceiling in close proximity to the nozzle. This tube carried thermocouple leads to a sensor disk (26 gal. iron-constantan wires), simulating a sprinkler link, and to a bare- bead thermocouple (0.005 in. dia. chromel-alumel wires). The sensor disk, made from brass, was circular, 0.31 in. in diameter and 0.008 in. thick, simulating 1 /5a full-scale response time index (RTI) of 60 (ft*s)f/ according to measurements in the FMRC plunge test tunnel. Both the sensor disk and the thermocouple were centered at the elevation of the discharge face of the nozzle, the two spaced approximately 3/8 in. apart. The iron-constantan thermocouples were welded to the center of the disk and led to a temperature controller which actuated a solenoid valve when the disk temperature reached t the set temperature, i.e., the selected temperature rating of the sprinkler, 165°F. The solenoid valve admitted water to the model sprinkler at the pre- selected pressure (50 psi full scale). The spray nozzle had an orifice diameter of 0.062 in. and a nominal included spray angle of 81 degrees. The full-scale diameter, 0.062 x 12.5 = 0.78 in., corresponds to an ESFR sprinkler with K = 1^.0 gpm/psi'/2 and a discharge coefficient of 0.78. The mean discharge coefficient of all the model sprinklers was established in laboratory calibrations as 0.58 (standard deviation of 0.0*1). It can be shown that, because the discharge coefficients of the full-scale and model sprinklers were not the same, the ratio of full scale to model water pressures would be (0.58/0.78)2 • Scale ratio =. (0.58/0.78)2-12.5 = 6.91. Hence, the full scale water pressure of 50 psi was simulated with a model water pressure of 7.2 psi. Compared to full-scale ESFR sprinklers, the model sprays were somewhat narrower. Good density coverage across the top of the fuel array was possible 25 FACTORY MUTUAl RESEARCH CORPORATION OWOE8.RU 3/16 dia- ceramc tube for thermocouple and sensor Nozzle Support (Alum.)

Another inaccuracy in the modeling of full-scale sprinklers was that as in earlier ESFR modeling experiments^5'"', the initial drop velocity in the model was somewhat high (by approximately 40£), associated with the fact that the model sprinklers did not incorporate deflectors to produce sprays like full scale sprinklers. (The deflectors reduce the momentum of the water issuing from the sprinkler nozzle.) A.2 MODEL FUEL ARRAY The baseline tests in the ESFR program utilized Factory Mutual Research Corporation's Standard Plastic Test Commodity'12'. The basic unit of this commodity is a cubical corrugated carton measuring 21 in. on the side. Its interior is divided into 5x5x5 = 125 compartments formed by vertical and horizontal corrugated partitions; layers are separated by pasteboard. Each compartment contains a "16-oz" polystyrene jar with the open end down. Eight cartons, arranged 2x2x2 and supported on a 42 in. x 42 in. x 5 in. wood pallet, form a pallet load. Each pallet load has a mass of approximately 170 Ib, of which 36% is plastic, 35% is wood and 29? is corrugated paper. The left side of Figure A2 represents a four-tier, 18.9 ft high, full scale array of the kind used in testing to date; the rack structure has been removed for clarity. (Arrays tested in full scale'12' have varied in height. from 3 tiers, or 13.8 ft, to 5 tiers, or 23.7 ft.) In plan (top view), the f , array measures 2x4 pallet loads, and all vertical flue spaces are 6 in. wide. [^ In selecting a model array in the first ESFR model study'**, some resemblance to the full scale array was sought, using commercially available I components. The 'M6-oz" polystyrene jar from the full-scale arrays was adopted. Each jar was placed inside a 4 in. cubic cardboard box (Box No. 25, p Bay Colony Paper Company, Norwood, MA), an assembly considered roughly equiva- lent to a pallet load in full scale. The cubes were assembled into the 2 x 2 x 3 high model seen at right in Figure A2, having the full-scale equivalent dimensions indicated. With the mass of a plastic cup being 30.1 g and that of a cardboard box being 50.4 g, the relative proportions of plastic and cellu- losic fuel were 37% and 63%, respectively. These proportions were similar to those in full scale, 36 and 64%. Fuel densities, in terms of solid mass per unit volume of the entire array, may also be compared. On a full scale basis, these were 3.3 lb/ft^ in the model versus 2.6/lb/ft^ in full scale.

Figure A4 shows the relation- ship between the cardboard box and the polystyrene jar within. The jar wa.3 carefully inserted from above with spots of glue on the lip of the jar, which fixed the jar symmetrically in place on the bottom of the box. The array was ignited at the bottom of the central flue space, using a cotton ball soaked with 1 cap heptane and placed in a metal bracket attached to the support plate; the cotton ball was ignited remotely with an electric match. A, 3 RECORDS OF TESTS AND DATA Table I lists baseline tests and results without vents, both with and without draft curtains. All times and distances in this and subsequent tables refer to the model scale. In the fifth column of Table I are listed the number of "near" sprinklers that operated, compared to the total number of "near" sprinklers available. By "near sprinkler" is meant a sprinkler capable of delivering water directly over the ignition location. In the sixth column of Table I are listed visibility distances through the smoke (pertaining to both model and full scale), based on the reading of the optical density meter (Figure 1) at the end of an experiment (900 s), calcu- la ted from the formula: . Svis (ft) = 1.78 [JT1 *n (I0/I)]-°-69 Here, a is the length of the light beam (1 ft), and IQ and I are the light intensities of the transmitted light without and with smoke, respectively. The equation is a generalization of data on visibility distances assembled by Quintiere^ '^) for "illuminated sign", "focused lamp in black smoke", "focused lamp in yellow smoke", "illuminated placard," and "illuminated sign." Other results listed in Table I include the actuation times of the near sprinklers. Table II lists similar types of information and data for tests with gravity vents. In addition, the simulated temperature rating of the'vent is listed ("Vent Rating") as well as the time of simulated automatic operation of the vent ("Vent Time"). Ignition locations ("Ign.

The maximum temperatures for other than the largest fuel-ceiling clearance are not considered to be good simulations of full scale because of the rather narrow model sprays (see Section A.1). Full- scale tests^'0''2' have indicated that ceiling temperatures typically respond immediately to the ESFR water spray by beginning to decay at the first sprin- kler operation. Some of the tests in Table II, involving smaller celling clearances, indicate otherwise. Table IV lists the tests for the power vents. The column, "Time, Vent Closure", refers to the time the vent cover seated on the vent opening. Two seconds prior to that, a pressure relief vent was opened in the suction plenum. "Vent Inactive" refers to the vent cover being seated on the vent opening throughout the test, with the fan drawing from the suction plenum turned off. Table V presents further results for some tests listed in Table IV, specifically the time that the first temperature rise was recorded by any of the thermocouples surrounding the vent opening. Table VI lists the sprinkler operating times for individual tests. The sprinklers are identified in Figure 2. Figures A5-A7 show temperatures at the four sprinkler sites in the A-ring for a number of conditions, as explained in the captions.
