DRY FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER AND FLUID DEFLECTION MEMBER ASSEMBLIES
20230149953 · 2023-05-18 ·

A dry fire protection sprinkler assembly. The sprinkler assembly includes an elongate tubular outer housing having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end of the housing defines a fluid discharge end of the sprinkler assembly having an outlet opening. A fluid deflection member is affixed to the housing at a preferably fixed distance from the outlet opening. The sprinkler assembly and the fluid deflection member define an unencumbered fluid flow path for a column of fluid discharge from the outlet opening. The fluid deflection member includes at least one tab to act on the unencumbered column of fluid discharge.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF FLUID OPERATED CONCEALED SPRINKLERS WITHIN CLOSED CAVITIES

A concealed sprinkler can include a body that defines an outlet, a seal that seals the outlet, an activation element coupled with the seal, a housing, a cover plate, and a wall. The activation element changes from a first state to a second state responsive to a fire condition to allow the seal to be displaced from the outlet. The housing extends from a first housing end that extends from the body to a second housing end, and defines a chamber around the activation element. The cover plate is coupled with the second housing end. The wall extends towards the activation element to form an air flow channel to the activation element adjacent to the wall. At least one of the cover plate and the wall are removably coupled with the body.

Concealed sprinkler activation

A fire suppression sprinkler assembly coupled to a mounting surface includes a sprinkler having a heat responsive element arranged adjacent a first end. A cover plate is positioned adjacent the heat responsive element and includes a thermally conductive cover layer. A reflective shield has a reflective interior surface. The reflective shield is positioned substantially opposite the cover plate adjacent the first end of the sprinkler such that heat reflects from the top plate towards the heat responsive element.
