8.4 High Ceiling
VESDA Addresses (also known as VESDA Zones) with high ceilings require special consideration because
of the stratification effect. To overcome the stratification effect one or more vertical pipes are installed in
addition to the pipes on the ceiling. Refer to Section 4.7 for an example of pipe network installation for areas
with high ceilings.
