NAFPCO designs and installs in-rack fire sprinkler systems to protect racked storage areas in warehouses, where early suppression fast response (ESFR) or ceiling-only sprinkler systems cannot be employed. While these sprinklers will not prevent a fire from starting—in fact they are only triggered when excessive heat and smoke are detected—they will help contain and control a fire to a specific area, making it easier to suppress and end said fire.
Installed along a network of piping secured within rack structures, in-rack sprinklers release water into targeted areas, minimizing damage and downtime for the entire facility. With sprinklers, Protectowire or detectors near stored materials and equipment, the system continuously monitors for heat to provide the quickest possible response in the event of a fire. In-rack sprinklers are ideal for ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems) and VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) warehouse facilities.

Deluge systems are generally used in high-hazard areas such as power plants, aircraft hangars, and chemical plants.
Dry pendent sprinklers are typically installed in food process plants and box-in-box freezers where temperatures are below 40 degrees F.
Dry pipe sprinkler systems are generally used in cold climates and are highly effective in cold-temperature fire protection.
Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) systems are quick-responding, high-volume sprinkler systems that provide exceptional protection for high-piled storage occupancies.
Fire pumps are an essential part of many water-based fire protection systems. Fire Pumps are used to increase the water pressure (measured in psi) when the original water source is not adequate for the system it’s supplying.
Pre-action fire sprinkler systems employ the basic concept of a dry pipe system in that water is not normally contained within the pipes.
Wet pipe systems are the most common fire sprinkler systems. A wet pipe system is one in which water is constantly maintained within the sprinkler piping.
A special hazards fire suppression system is used to put out fires in areas where water damage from fire sprinklers can cause costly or irreparable damage to the assets being protected.
Linear Heat Detection (LHD) is an important component of fire protection systems, as it is designed to detect heat along the length of a sensor cable.
