Thanks Roland.
This was just an activation comparison based on the calc rules in 13 for EH.
Some rules apply no matter what happens after activation.
I don't consider the rules for EH and Storage to be interchangeable in
this regard. EH sprinkler rules are mostly for SSU and SSP. Storage
sprinkler rules are based on lots of great experiments so we get
Special Application and EFSR that does take fire control into
consideration, not just activation.
so I guess the answer to your question is 'none' :)

So what fire model did you use that will provide any degree off
accuracy on fire control?

Make that 46% increase.
If we started with 2500 and reduced to 2000 for using 286F (SR)
because of the reasoning, "fewer heads would go off", we would have
to go the other direction for QR. 2500x1.3=3250.
I did a quick activation comparison with 286F SR vs 200F QR. I
used a 5100 kW t^2 ULTRA FAST design fire. In the same time 24 SR
activated, 35 QR activated.

If I used QR in EH I would inrease the operating area 30% of my
own accord for the same reason we do that for dry- - -
"More heads would go off".

Quoting "Kyle.Montgomery" <kmontgom...@aerofire.com>:
NFPA 13 section 11.2.3.2.2.2 states that QR sprinklers shall not
be permitted for use in extra hazard occupancies.
Section 12.6.6 states that the use of QR sprinklers shall be
permitted when listed for such use.
So, if I have a storage occupancy where the appropriate design
criteria table directs me to use an Extra Hazard design curve,
can I use QR sprinklers (assuming they are listed for storage use)?
I believe the answer would be “yes”, but looking for some feedback.
Thanks.
