Title:
EXTERIOR FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM WITH CONCEALED SPRINKLERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004091727
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An exterior fire suppression system includes a sprinkler system that is connected to a water supply. The sprinkler system is mounted within the structure and is substantially hidden from view when the system is inactive. The system may include roof sprinklers and eave sprinklers that are adapted to saturate the exterior of the structure when the system is activated. Small roof sprinklers are arranged along a ridge line of the roof at least partially concealed by roofing materials and/or configured as popup sprinklers hidden when not operational. Hidden sprinklers may be positioned within a façade that is an aesthetic match with the structure's roof and/or within a sprinkler box underneath the roofline. Each eave sprinkler is installed within the eave, substantially hidden from view. A heat sensor may be disposed adjacent to the eave sprinkler and connected to an electronic control to activate the system when excessive heat is detected.
