ESFR stands for Early Suppression Fast Response. These sprinkler systems have the characteristic that they react very quickly by discharging an enormous amount of fire extinguishing water. An ESFR sprinkler system is designed to suppress the fire rather than control the fire until the fuel source is exhausted. This makes an ESFR sprinkler system extremely suitable for protecting highly stacked storage.

Why a ESFR sprinkler system?
