Case Spotlight: Smart Air Supply in a Tight Space

When upgrading fire protection systems in facilities like data centers, engineers often face tight riser rooms and strict equipment layout limitations. Imagine a scenario where a team is retrofitting a dry-pipe sprinkler system in a server-heavy environment, and floor space is at a premium.

In this case, specifying a compact, reliable air compressor becomes essential, not just for compliance, but for overall system efficiency.

Enter the Riser-Mount Air Compressor (RMAC-LP) from UNITED Fire Systems.

With direct riser-mounting capability, an oil-less pump, and factory-set pressure switch, the RMAC-LP simplifies installation without sacrificing performance.

In this type of project, the RMAC-LP offers:

• Time savings by eliminating the need for remote mounting

• A clean, compact footprint in high-density riser rooms

• Consistent air pressure for reliable dry or preaction sprinkler operation

• NFPA-compliant performance with minimal maintenance

This case demonstrates how the right compressor can solve real-world challenges for fire protection engineers, especially in tech-heavy facilities where uptime and clean installs matter most.
