DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Globe Quick Response Model GL5614 Extended
Coverage Pendent Sprinkler for Light Hazard occupancies is a
low prole yet durable design which utilizes a 3mm frangible glass
ampule as the thermosensitive element. This provides sprinkler
operation approximately six times faster than ordinary sprinklers.
While this Quick Response Sprinkler provides an aesthetically
pleasing appearance, it can be installed wherever standard light
hazard extended coverage pendent sprinklers are specied; but
offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life.
Quick Response Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under
the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction, in accordance with their listings and in accordance with NFPA 13.
The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating
assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that
contains a precisely measured amount of uid. When heat is
absorbed, the liquid within the bulb expands increasing the internal pressure. At the prescribed temperature the internal pressure
within the ampule exceeds the strength of the glass causing the
glass to shatter. This results in water discharge which is distributed in an approved pattern.
