Fire protection in cold storage environments is uniquely complex. With temperatures well below freezing, facilities rely on dry or pre-action sprinkler systems to keep water out of the pipes until activation. But while these systems prevent ...
In recent years nitrogen has become widely accepted by the fire protection industry for dry and pre-action sprinkler systems. We talked about the oxygen corrosion and ice plug issue found within freezers in cold storage in a previous post. Now, ...
Automatic fire sprinkler systems that are used in cold storage freezer installations present unique problems that require special considerations when designing. Corrosion and potential ice plugs are perhaps the two biggest issues when designing a ...
