Automatic Fire Sprinklers, Systems and Methods for Suppression Fire Protection of High Hazard Commodities Including Commodities Stored in Rack Arrangements Beneath Ceilings of Up to Fifty-Five Feet in Height
System and methods to provide ceiling-only suppression fire protection of up to fifty feet (50 ft.) of rack storage of cartoned unexpanded plastic commodities and less hazardous commodities, such as for example, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4 and/or combinations thereof beneath a ceiling having a maximum ceiling height up to fifty-five feet (55 ft.).

The systems and methods provide for hydraulic and system parameters that include a hydraulic design area based upon five to no more than twelve hydraulically most remote sprinklers spaced at a preferred sprinkler-to-sprinkler spacing of eight to ten feet (8-10 ft.) coupled to two to four branch lines tied to a common cross main supply pipe of firefighting fluid.

Network-type temperature-controlled hanging extinguishing system
A network-type temperature-controlled hanging extinguishing system includes: a main fire-fighting pipe which has at least one fire-extinguishing medium support port; at least one fire-extinguishing medium pressure bearing tank communicated with the main fire-fighting pipe; at least one fire sprinkler valve which is communicated with the main fire-fighting pipe and includes a memory alloy part adapted for controlling opening and closing a valve body; and at least open nozzle which is communicated with the fire sprinkler valve, such that when the fire sprinkler valve is opened, the fire-extinguishing medium is sprayed, and when the fire sprinkler valve is closed, the fire-extinguishing medium is stopped spraying. An amount of the fire-extinguishing medium pressure bearing tanks is different from that of the open nozzles; a user is able to select an appropriate amount of fire-extinguishing medium pressure bearing tanks as required to reduce the manufacturing, assembly and maintenance cost of the entire system.

FLEXIBLE DRY SPRINKLER
A flexible dry fire protection sprinkler includes an inlet seal assembly sealing an inlet orifice, an inlet release unit to release the seal assembly, a flexible tube connected to the inlet release unit, a flexible linkage extending through the flexible tube, having an inlet end connected to the inlet release unit, an outlet biasing portion connected to an outlet end of the flexible tube and the flexible linkage, to displace the outlet end of the linkage upon activation, a sprinkler body connected to the outlet biasing portion, and an outlet seal assembly to seal an outlet orifice of the body until a predetermined temperature is reached. When reached, the outlet seal assembly releases from an outlet orifice of the body, and the outlet biasing portion displaces the linkage, causing the inlet end of the linkage to operate the inlet release unit, releasing the inlet seal assembly from the inlet orifice.

SENSOR INTEGRATION IN MECHANICAL FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
A system includes one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include receiving sensor data from at least one sensor monitoring a fire suppression system, determining, based on the sensor data, a status of the fire suppression system, and providing a notification to a user device, the notification indicating the status of the fire suppression system.
Flexible dry sprinklers
A flexible dry sprinkler includes an inlet, an inlet seal assembly having a spring seal that compresses in response to a longitudinal load, and an inlet release unit. A flexible tube has an inlet end and an outlet end, and a flexible linkage extends through the flexible tube, and is connected to the inlet release unit. An outlet release unit is connected to the outlet end of the flexible tube and to an outlet end of the flexible linkage, and displaces the outlet end of the flexible linkage upon activation of the flexible dry fire protection sprinkler. A sprinkler body is connected to the outlet release unit, and has an outlet orifice sealed by an outlet seal assembly until ambient temperature reaches a predetermined temperature. When the ambient temperature reaches the predetermined temperature, translation of the flexible linkage in an outlet direction causes release of the inlet seal assembly.
