- FIG 1 shows an example embodiment of a sprinkler with flexible body 10 which is attachable to a source of fire suppressing liquid, such as the piping network of a fire suppression system (not shown).
- the example sprinkler with flexible body 10 comprises a sprinkler head 12.
- the sprinkler head 12 defines a discharge opening 14.
- a deflector 16 is mounted on the sprinkler head in spaced relation to the discharge opening.
- an adapter 18 extends from the sprinkler head.
- Adapter 18 defines a bore 20 in fluid communication with the discharge opening 14.
- a flexible conduit 22 extends from the adapter 18.
- Flexible conduit 22 is in fluid communication with the bore 20 of the adapter 18.
- the flexible conduit has an inlet end 24 attachable to the source of fire suppressing liquid.
- K is calculated using q (flow rate) in gallons per minute (gal/min) and p (discharge or nozzle pressure) in pounds per square inch (psi).
- the K factor is thus a numerical coefficient which captures the pressure loss characteristics of the sprinkler head as a function of flow rate.
- p discharge or nozzle pressure
- an individual sprinkler head having a specified K factor can be replaced by a sprinkler with flexible body 10 having the same (composite) K factor as the original sprinkler.
- This obviates the need for any hydraulic calculations and allows a designer to preserve or even augment the flow rate of fire suppressing liquid as desired.
- the sprinkler head used with the sprinkler with flexible body 10 will have a larger discharge opening 14 than the individual sprinkler head it replaces to compensate for the larger pressure drop across the sprinkler with flexible body 10 due to the presence of the flexible conduit 22 and the adapter 18, which may add friction and turbulence to the flow with a concomitant pressure head loss.
- the discharge opening 14 has a diameter 26 (see Figure 2) sized in relation to one or more characteristics of the flexible conduit 22.
- the characteristics of the flexible conduit which are expected to affect flow rate include conduit length 28, conduit inner diameter 30, conduit inner surface roughness 32 and combinations thereof. It is further thought that characteristics of the adapter 18 will also affect flow rate.
- the diameter 26 of the discharge opening 24 may also be sized in relation to one or more
- adapter 18 characteristics of the adapter 18 to provide a desired flow rate. These adapter characteristics may include adapter length 34, adapter inner diameter 36, adapter inner surface roughness 38 and combinations thereof. Additionally, the characteristics of the sprinkler head 12 may also be taken into account to size the discharge opening 14.
- Flow conditioning devices may be used to reduce turbulence within the flexible conduit 22 and the adapter 18 and may take the form of a nozzle 40 integrally formed with the sprinkler head 12.
- the nozzle 40 includes the discharge opening 14 and has an intake 42 in fluid communication with the adapter 18.
- further flow conditioning devices may include a venturi 44 ( Figure 3) and/or and orifice 46 ( Figure 4) located at or near the inlet end 24 of the flexible conduit 22.
- these flow conditioning devices may also affect the discharge rate, the diameter 26 of the discharge opening 14 may be sized to take them into account as well as other factors.
- the sprinkler head 12 to the adapter 18, as well as to permanently attach the adapter to the flexible conduit 22.
- the term“permanently attach” means to attach the sprinkler head and adapter and the adapter and flexible conduit such that the parts are not easily separated. Permanent attachment of the sprinkler head 12 to the adapter 18 is conveniently achieved by integrally forming the sprinkler head with the adapter, for example, by casting the sprinkler head 12 and the adapter 18 as a unitary piece as shown in Figure 5. As brass is a preferred material for sprinkler heads, integrally casting both the sprinkler head and the adapter is practical.
- the components comprising the sprinkler with flexible body 10 are of different materials, integral casting is not an option.
- a practical design for the sprinkler with flexible body 10 will have a brass sprinkler head 12, a carbon steel alloy or ductile iron adapter 18 and a flexible conduit 22 comprising a corrugated hose of stainless steel (see Figures 1 and 2).
- the sprinkler head 12 may be permanently attached to the adapter 18 by one of a number of methods including welding, brazing, swaging and crimping.
- a further impediment to disassembly is the elimination of a wrench boss on the sprinkler head 12 if threaded connections to the adapter 18 are used.
- the flexible conduit 22 may also be permanently attached to the adapter 18 by methods including welding, brazing, swaging and crimping. Permanent attachment is advantageous because the sprinkler with flexible body 10 is meant to comprise a preassembled unit, not intended to be disassembled by the user for installation, repair or replacement. The permanence of the component attachments preserves the hydraulic integrity of the unit and ensures that the K factor is not changed by an alteration to the design.
- tamper evident seals 48 and 50 may be used to further safeguard the hydraulic integrity of the sprinkler with flexible body 10.
- seal 48 comprises a cover extending between and overlying a portion of the sprinkler head 12 and a portion of the adapter 18
- seal 50 comprises a cover extending between and overlying a portion of the flexible conduit 22 and a portion of the adapter 18.
- tamper evident seals 48 and 50 comprise segments 52 and 54 of relatively high-strength, brittle plastic polymer which lock together when positioned on the sprinkler with flexible body 10 and must be broken to be removed, a broken seal indicating evidence of potential tapering.
- Indicia 56 may also be placed on the outer surfaces of the seals 48 and 50 to warn users not to disassemble the sprinkler with flexible body 10 as well as to indicate its (composite) K factor.
- FIG. 7 shows another example embodiment of a sprinkler with flexible body 58 according to the invention.
- Embodiment 58 differs from embodiment 10 in that the adapter 18 is eliminated.
- An example sprinkler with flexible body 58 thus comprises a sprinkler head 12 defining a discharge opening 14.
- a deflector 16 is mounted on the sprinkler head in spaced relation to the discharge opening.
- a flexible conduit 22 extends from the sprinkler head 12 and is in fluid
- the flexible conduit 22 has an inlet end 24 attachable to a source of fire suppressing liquid.
- the fire suppressing liquid is discharged from the discharge opening 14 at a flow rate defined by a composite K factor which includes pressure losses from the flexible conduit 22 and the sprinkler head 12.
- the K factor is defined as a ratio of the flow rate divided by a square root of a fluid pressure at the discharge opening 14.
- the diameter 26 of discharge opening 14 (see Figure 8) is sized in relation to one or more
- characteristics of the flexible conduit 22 to provide a desired flow rate include conduit length 28 (Figure 7), conduit inner diameter 30 (Figure 8), conduit inner surface roughness 32 and combinations thereof.
- the sprinkler with flexible body 58 may also include flow conditioning devices such as a nozzle 40 integrally formed with the sprinkler head 12.
- Nozzle 40 includes the discharge opening 14 and an intake 42 in fluid communication with the flexible conduit 22.
- the inlet end 24 of the flexible conduit 22 may further comprise a flow conditioning device, for example, a venturi 44 or an orifice 46.
- the sprinkler head 12 is permanently attached to the flexible conduit 22. This permanent attachment may be effected integrally forming the sprinkler head 12 with the flexible conduit 22 or by attachment methods including welding, brazing, swaging and crimping. It is considered advantageous to form the sprinkler head 12 from brass and the flexible conduit from a corrugated hose of stainless steel.
- seal 48 may be used to further safeguard the hydraulic integrity of the sprinkler with flexible body 58.
- seal 48 comprises a cover extending between and overlying a portion of the sprinkler head 12 and a portion of the flexible conduit 22.
- tamper evident seal 48 comprises segments 52 and 54 of relatively high- strength, brittle plastic polymer which lock together when positioned on the sprinkler with flexible body 58 and must be broken to be removed, a broken seal indicating evidence of potential tapering.
- Indicia 56 may also be placed on the outer surfaces of the seal 48 to warn users not to disassemble the sprinkler with flexible body 10 as well as to indicate its (composite) K factor.
- flowrate testing to determine the actual K factor is performed on the entire unit, namely, the flexible conduit, adapter and sprinkler head for embodiment 10, and the flexible conduit and sprinkler head for embodiment 58 along with any flow conditioning devices which may be present.
- the diameter 26 of the discharge opening 14 of the sprinkler head 12 will be larger that it would otherwise be if the sprinkler head were not part of a flexible body (e.g., flexible conduit 22) or a flexible body and an adapter.
- the diameter 26 of the discharge opening 14 is expected to be the minimum diameter of the sprinkler head 12 as well as the minimum diameter of the entire unit which comprises the sprinkler with flexible body.
- Sprinkler with flexible body as disclosed in embodiments 10 and 58 having a composite K factor according to the invention are expected to provide significant 5 benefit in renovation work as well as new construction and are further considered an improvement in fire safety.
