Dear Sirs:

I have a doubt about fire suppression with internal side-wall sprinklers to protect a 7.00 meters ID x 22 meters height polyethylene storage bin:

The surface to be sprayed shall be all of the internal area of bin (perimeter x heigth), or only the product surface (circular area)?

Thanks a lot.
