The SFPE SD Chapter is excited to have Garner Palenske from Jensen Hughes present “The Effect of Obstructions on ESFR Sprinkler Performance” at our October 12th Chapter meeting.
Speaker:
Garner A. Palenske, P.E. – Vice President with Jensen Hughes
Topic:
The topic of the presentation will be “The Effect of Obstructions on ESFR Sprinkler Performance.” Make sure to bring any relevant questions that you may have.
The presentation will discuss the results of recent testing which explored the relationship between ESFR performance and various obstruction scenarios. Eight full-scale and approximately 40 Actual Delivered Density tests have been completed to date. The goal of this ongoing project is to ultimately develop a tool which could be used to provide the reliable analysis of the impact of obstructions on ESFR sprinkler performance. In addition, the results of the project will be submitted to the National Fire Protection Association for code changes
