Abstract
A wall-mountable spray head unit (11) is described. The spray head unit includes 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).
Claims6
A wall-mountable spray head unit comprising:
- a rotatable spray head assembly comprising
- a spray nozzle configured to deliver fire-suppressant material, and
- a spray manifold rotatable about a first axis, wherein the spray nozzle is supported by the spray manifold,
- wherein, when the wall-mountable spray head unit is mounted to a wall, the rotatable spray head assembly is configured to rotate the spray nozzle about a first axis up to about ±90° from a reference angle, wherein the reference angle is perpendicular to the wall,
- wherein the spray nozzle is orientated to deliver the fire-suppressant material radially in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis, and
- wherein the spray nozzle is configured to deliver the fire-suppressant material in an arc in the plane of at least 25° above a horizontal axis and at least 25° below the horizontal axis, the fire suppressant material forming a substantially collimated horizontal jet as distance from the spray nozzle increases,
- wherein the wall-mountable spray head unit further comprises:
- an enclosure having an aperture, wherein the rotatable spray head assembly is housed or mainly housed in the enclosure,
- wherein the spray manifold is shaped as an elongated box including a side face and an end face perpendicular to the side face, the spray nozzle being provided in the end face, and
- wherein the rotatable spray head assembly is arranged such that, in a parked position, the side face is flush with a faceplate of the enclosure and the spray nozzle is not visible through the aperture and is at about ±90° from the reference angle.
