Patent ID: 11865388

Abstract:
A corridor sprinkler includes a frame, a seal, a thermally-responsive trigger, and a deflector. The frame defines a passageway between an inlet and an outlet along a longitudinal axis, the passageway having a nominal K-factor greater than or equal to 8.0. The seal is coupled with the outlet to prevent fluid flow out of the passageway while the seal is in an unactuated state. The thermally-responsive trigger changes the seal from the unactuated state to an actuated state to allow fluid to flow out of the passageway. The deflector is coupled with the frame and distributes fluid received at the inlet at a pressure of between 8 psi and 250 psi and through the passageway to provide a coverage area of between 220 square feet and 400 square feet and a polygonal spray pattern with a long axis length of between 28 feet to 36 feet.
