5.0 out of 5 stars Design of Special Hazard Fire Suppression Systems, January 8, 2005
As for his previous work Robert Gagnon have written another very helpful guide to fire suppression systems' understanding. The book is a collection of all those fire suppression systems which are commonly installed in high risk plantation and include accurate description and basic calculation design procedures. Even though I consider the book very valuable, I would have expected greater henphasis on halon alternatives, including design procedures.
For all those who are approching the subject the book represent a must. If you are looking for details, better move on more specific pubblications.
