I have received many comments about dry systems we do use them here, however they are installed in areas susceptible to freezing like unheated attics and outdoor applications. They are not installed for general indoor protection as they have a much higher cost more complexity for testing and maintenance and require much more supervision. This does not need a dry system a wet system is completely normal for this application. The soffit space is supposed to be insulated and is indicated as such on the as-builts just never was actually installed.

I always used to see problems like this (reported as the wrong signal type to monitor, reporting the wrong zone or non-existent zones, etc.) and it was really bad with the addressable systems early on. Graphic annunciators should be a code requirement these days. My 1980 Michigan high school had a graphic annunciator (totally analog though with a shape of the building and colored incandescent lights at specific locations) and then there were sub-annunciators that were located in each zone (just a row of lights up near the ceiling) that drilled down the initiating device further, really advanced for 1978 when it was designed (also had an advanced smoke control system). It worked great for 20 years until they frankensteined it to a digital panel and botched it (graphic annunciator is a dead zombie now). At 2am over a holiday weekend, the fire dept got a signal for a pull station. Entered the school, checked the pull station and it was fine, then left. It was actually triggered by a water flow on the other side of the building due to a frozen pipe. Water ran for 2 days straight. They found nothing was programmed or working right and the next time we had a drill, they had to send us home because they couldn't shut off the horns. Then we had an arson fire (and attempted bombing) just before graduation in 2002. That building was never right afterwards so I hope yours is dried out and the problems are fixed.

This is why fire sprinkler pipes should be insulated in addition to the normal insulation. The make-up air system bringing in cold air could freeze more pipes that are normally inside the insulated envelope of the building. If they were insulated there would be less chance of bursting.

@peterjszerszen5 ай бұрын
I could potentially see that being an issue during a real fire event too. Cold unconditioned makeup air could potentially cause freezing of sprinkler lines in non fire-affected parts of the building over a several-hour fire, reducing the available pressure to the fire. I could see this even more in an environment like a shopping mall with a high atrium ceiling that could act like a chimney with cold air being drawn in through the plenum on the lower floors. Sort of a high-risk/low-probability event.
