Abstract
A fire protection system can include a plurality of sprinklers arranged relative to rack storage, a first detector, a second detector, and a controller. The first detector at a first position relative to the plurality of sprinklers. The second detector is at a second position different from the first position. The controller is to actuate a valve to provide water to the plurality of sprinklers based at least on any two or more of an actuation of one or more sprinklers, a first detection of fire by the first detector, and a second detection of fire by the second detector.
Claims20
A fire protection system, comprising:
- a plurality of sprinklers arranged relative to a rack that is to store a stored commodity;
- a first detector at a first position relative to the plurality of sprinklers;
- a second detector at a second position different from the first position;
- and
- a controller to actuate a valve, to provide water to the plurality of sprinklers, based at least on any two or more of:
- an actuation of one or more sprinklers of the plurality of sprinklers;
- a first detection of fire by the first detector;
- and
- a second detection of fire by the second detector.
A fire protection control system, comprising:
- a plurality of first detectors;
- a plurality of second detectors;
- and
- a controller to transmit an activation signal to a valve, the valve coupled with a plurality of sprinklers arranged to provide fire protection to a rack storage, the controller to transmit the activation signal based at least on reception of a first detection signal from at least one first detector and a second detection signal from at least one second detector.
