Air Supply Decisions in Cold Storage Fire Sprinkler Systems
Selecting an air supply for cold storage fire sprinkler systems is not only a matter of compliance, but of understanding how moisture, airflow, and leakage interact over the life of the system in these unique environments. This presentation compares the performance characteristics of compressed air, dry air, and nitrogen in freezer applications, with specific focus on ice plug risk, flow capacity, maintenance considerations, and NFPA sizing requirements. Through practical examples and application-specific analysis, attendees will learn how different technologies respond as these systems age and present challenges in the field.
Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors vs. 98% Purity Nitrogen
Exploring the latest findings on corrosion mitigation in dry and pre-action fire sprinkler systems, this presentation dives into recent testing data, including a head-to-head comparison of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) and 98% purity nitrogen. Attendees will gain insights into the efficacy of these technologies, upfront and long-term cost comparisons, and best practices for installation and maintenance procedures. This session provides essential knowledge for fire protection professionals looking to optimize system performance and extend the longevity of their or their customers' dry & pre-action sprinkler systems.
This session highlights key updates in the 2025 edition of NFPA 13, including new Listing requirements for Fire Protection Air Compressors and the adoption of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology, which now allows a Hazen-Williams C-Factor of 120 for new systems. It will also cover the new UL 1450, Supplement SC . Additionally, we’ll review the 2024 NFPA 14 requirement mandating supervisory air for all dry standpipe systems. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these updates impact design, installation, and compliance for fire protection air supplies.

Listed Fire Protection Air Compressors - What you Need to Know
With multiple air supply options available for dry and pre-action fire sprinkler systems—compressed air, dry air, nitrogen, and vapor corrosion inhibitors—it can be challenging to determine the best fit for each application. In this session, we’ll explore the pros and cons of each technology, discuss corrosion mitigation from both design and field perspectives, and provide practical guidance through the questions you should be asking to help you select the best air supply solution for any project.
