My cut and paste apparently faded away between sending and arriving
on the Forum. Exception (2) to the requirement for venst basicaly
says portions of the building using ESFR do not have to have vents.

Just wondering why ESFR heads throughout? Why not use something
like the EC-25 in the MFG areas, and the ESFR in the storage areas?
If its MFG, what are your plans under the conveyors or extrusion
lines?

Subject: ESFR in Mfg
We're raising our heads out of the sand of being spkr guys and
bidding a
manufacturing building (wood and vinyl building products) as ESFR
since this
eliminates the need for heat and smoke vents, thus more than
compensating
for the increased cost over OH 2 thru most of the building. There
will be
some rack storage, but mostly manufacturing.
Without the large fire plume usually associated with rack storage
being
absent cause a problem with activation of the ESFR? 40' roof,
maybe slightly
higher (yes, expensive couple of feet possible requiring K25's)
Owner is self-insured, generally risk aversive, the now rare
breed that
actually wants it done "correctly" although money is not to be
ignored.
We'd like to advise if this could present problems with adequate
protection
levels. I know this was touched on briefly, but its one of those
weird eves
when email works but internet doesn't. maybe its on strike in
sympathy?
