The attachment shows a diagram of an airplane hanger. The owner wants to install a foam fire suppression system. The system is to be activated by rate compensating heat detectors installed throughout the hanger.
Taking spacing reduction into account for the ceiling height; should the detectors be installed at location "A" on the decking between the steel beams or at location "B" under the bar joists?
If this was for a fire alarm system I would have the EC install the heats at location "A". Since these detectors are activating a suppression system, my thought is to have the detectors as close to the heat source as possible.
Any one ever run into a similar scenario?
