ABSTRACT:
In a storage rack system comprising a storage rack and a fire extinguishing device, a horizontally extending beam of the storage rack is located in a fixed position, at a predetermined elevation above a support surface. An outer wall of the beam defines a generally flat, inclined surface facing outwardly and downwardly at an angle in a range from about 10.degree. to about 80.degree. relative to a vertical plane. A vane is mounted to the beam so as to extend horizontally, below the beam, and so as to be parallel to the beam. The vane has a surface facing toward the beam and a surface facing away from the beam. The fire extinguishing device is spaced horizontally from the inclined surface and located in a fixed position relative to the storage rack, such that when the fire extinguishing device is discharging a fluid, if the discharged fluid impinges upon the inclined surface, the inclined surface deflects the impinging fluid against the surface facing toward the beam and the surface facing toward the beam redirects the deflected fluid. The surface facing toward the beam, at an inner portion of the vane, defines an angle within a range from about 80.degree. below a horizontal plane to about 90.degree. above a horizontal plane, and may extend inwardly and horizontally. At an outer portion of the vane, the surfaces facing toward and away from the beam are inclined so as to be generally parallel to the inclined surface of the beam.
