Abstract
A wall-mountable spray head unit (11) is described. The spray head unit comprises a rotatable spray head assembly (81, 82; FIG. 9, 83; FIG. 17) which comprises a spray manifold (181, 182; FIG. 9) rotatable about a first axis (17), a spray nozzle (19) supported by the spray manifold and orientated to deliver fire-suppressant material radially in a plane in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis, and at least one thermal sensor (20).
Claims28
A wall-mountable spray head unit comprising:
- a rotatable spray head assembly which comprises:
- a spray manifold rotatable about a first axis;
- a spray nozzle supported by the spray manifold and orientated to deliver fire-suppressant material radially in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis;
- and
- at least one thermal sensor supported by the spray manifold, aligned with the nozzle, aligned with the plane and configured to move with the nozzle and sense in the plane,
- wherein the spray manifold comprises a face that is rotatable about the first axis and wherein the spray nozzle and the at least one thermal sensor are set in the face;
- and
- a pivot base on which the rotatable spray head assembly is mounted, the pivot base comprising an inlet port through which the fire suppressant material enters the wall-mountable spray head unit, an outlet port through which the fire-suppressant material enters the rotatable spray head assembly, and a diagonal channel for the fire-suppressant material between the inlet and outlet ports,
- wherein the inlet port is in fluid communication with the nozzle via the outlet port and is offset in a direction into a wall with respect to the first axis, and wherein the outlet port is aligned with the first axis and extends into the spray manifold.
