Short story is yes.
Long version is an ESFR is not an upright it's a control mode sprinkler and has 
its own rules. Beyond that if you are using them then you usually have an 
insurance underwriter who also had their own rules

8.12.5.3.2.1   The requirements of 8.12.5.3.2 shall not apply
where upright sprinklers are located over the bottom chords of bar joists or 
open trusses that are
4 in. (102 mm) maximum in width.

Does this mean that an upright ESFR can be at or near center of a bar joist?

Thanks, Vince
