Fire suppression system - system and method for optimal nozzle placement

A system for determining placement of nozzles within a fire suppression system, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• determining a geometry of a room in response to a floor plan;
• determining a type of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of articles in the room and hazards in the room;
• determining an amount of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of the articles in the room, hazards in the room, the geometry of the room, average temperature in the room, and average pressure within the room;
• and
• determining a number of nozzles, a type of each of the nozzles,
• location of each of the nozzles within the room in response to the amount of fire suppression agent required.

A computer program product tangibly embodied on a computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining a geometry of a room in response to a floor plan;
• determining a type of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of articles in the room and hazards in the room;
• determining an amount of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of the articles in the room, hazards in the room, the geometry of the room, average temperature in the room, and average pressure within the room;
• and
• determining a number of nozzles, a type of each of the nozzles, a location of each of the nozzles within the room in response to the amount of fire suppression agent required.
