In response to a question in one of the respected engineering groups regarding choosing the type of fire network

It mainly comes down to the nature of the role.

01- Is it divided into many spaces, and therefore when you use the loop or grid system, you will need a very large number of sleeves, and in fire-resistant walls, you will need a fire stop, and therefore a large cost for the project.

02- But with the tree or tree system, the number of openings required in the rooms is reduced because Each room you enter with only one opening.

03- Of course, if the place is open like garages, the grid network system will be better because it greatly reduces the multiplicity of sizes and thus reduces waste and greatly improves the pressure.

04- As for the loop network system, it is preferable to use it in the case of corridor in front of the rooms such as hotels or Hospitals, and this also improves the pressure to some extent and makes the main diameter stable.

05- If we arrange the networks in terms of the improvement in pressure loss, they are in order from lowest to highest Grid then loop then tree.

06- Of course, the answer is part of the standard and a large part of it is design experience.

07- Of course, you are free to use any type of network.

08- There is no specific obligation to force you to a specific solution from what you mentioned.
