the following are used in the sprinklers:
1. an expanding liquid selected from the group consisting of toluene, a xylene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and a mixture thereof.

2. lower monohydric aliphatic alcohol, a lower polyhydric aliphatic alcohol, a lower alkyl ester of a lower alkanecarboxylic acid, and a mixture thereof.
