| dc.description.abstract | In the present paper, an experimental method is presented for determining the response time of thermally activated sprinklers with three rates of heat, released by fire. The fraction of heat retained inside the enclosure in the form of a hot gas layer, which is available to sprinkler to raise its temperature, has been varied by changing the height of the door. The results of experiments reveal that the minimum time of sprinkler' operation occurs only when the height of door is minimum. A comparison of experimental and theoretical times of sprinkler operation shows that the present method of calculating time constant is not suitable to simulate the behaviour of an automatic sprinkler in a real fire. | en_US |
