Hi
We have been requested by our insurance to install sprinklers in our turbo-alternator room. We have a fire fighting station with the following pumps.
Electric Fire Pump NFPA20 227.10 m3/hr 11.5 bar

Diesel electric pump NFPA20 227.10 m3/hr 11.6 bar


Some guidelines from the insurance are

16L/min/m2
Sprinklers open head 141 deg
Detector 3IR
Manual 1/4 turn valve to be operated by personnel in case of fire

Can you please confirm what NFPA should we use to do the installation? Can you please send us some link where we can get some info how to determine the pipe size, set up of the sprinkler ? Thank you
