Description
NFPA 13 now allows dry systems to use C-120 in place of C-100 when pressurized using 98% nitrogen. This allows pipe size reductions in the sprinkler system design. This presentation will compare the cost savings in reduced pipe sizing to the additional cost of nitrogen concentration equipment within a dry pipe or preaction system. This comparison will include various examples to evaluate the effects of system size, available supply pressure and varied hydraulic demand requirements. Comparative costs will consider initial installation costs, annual maintenance costs, and system life cycle costs.
