A fire detection and suppression system includes a fire suppression system configured to suppress a fire, an ambient temperature sensor, one or more temperature sensors, and a controller. The ambient temperature sensor measures an ambient temperature. The one or more temperature sensors are configured to measure a hazard temperature. The controller is configured to receive ambient temperature readings from the ambient temperature sensor and hazard temperature readings from the one or more temperature sensors over a learning time period. The controller is configured to determine one or more characteristic values based on the received ambient temperature readings and the hazard temperature readings over the learning time period. The controller is configured to use the one or more characteristic values to detect a fire condition. The controller is configured to activate the fire suppression system in response to detecting the fire condition.

Fire detection system with a learning mode

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an air handling unit having a housing that defines an air flow path therethrough, a heat exchanger disposed within the air flow path and configured to flow a working fluid therethrough, and a nozzle configured to deliver a fire suppression agent into the air flow path.

Integrated air distribution system and fire suppression system

A fire suppression nozzle includes a first conduit including an inlet and an outlet, a second conduit coupled to the first and including a plurality of outlets spaced apart from a second plurality of outlets. The nozzle includes a first annular sound absorbing member positioned on a first side of the outlet and a second annular sound absorbing member positioned on a second side of the outlet wherein the first conduit provides inert gas to the second conduit. The inert gas exits the outlet in a first direction and a first portion of the inert gas is directed toward the first plurality of outlets in a second direction and a second portion is directed toward the second plurality of outlets in a third direction opposite the second direction, wherein the second and third directions are generally perpendicular to the first direction.

Low pressure drop acoustic suppressor nozzle for inert gas discharge system

A fire suppression nozzle assembly includes a nozzle having a first tube defining an axially extending passageway. The passageway includes a plurality of primary outlets disposed on a sidewall of the first tube. The nozzle also includes a second tube circumscribing the first tube to define a chamber. The primary outlets provide fluid communication between the passageway and the chamber. A sidewall of the second tube has a first set of radially facing secondary outlets axially offset from the primary outlets in a first direction and a second set of radially facing secondary outlets axially offset from the primary outlets in a second direction opposite the first direction. The nozzles disclosed herein are configured such that gas exiting a plurality of outlet holes is balanced.

Low pressure drop acoustic suppressor nozzle for fire protection inert gas discharge system

A fire suppression system includes an inert gas source to supply inert gas to an enclosure via distribution piping. The system includes a fire suppression nozzle that is installed in the enclosure. The nozzle includes an inlet that connects to the distribution piping and includes a plurality of outlet holes. During discharge of the inert gas, the sound power level from, the nozzle is no greater than 125 dB for a frequency range from 500 to 10,000 Hz for a coverage area up to 32 ft.&#xd7;32 ft. in compliance with UL 2127. The nozzles disclosed herein are configured such that gas exiting a plurality of outlet holes is balanced.

Fire suppression systems () for vehicles and industrial applications including arrangements of an input bus () and output bus () coupled to a centralized controller () to provide for automatic and manual detection of a fire (H) and manual and automatic system actuation in response to the fire. The arrangements further provide for system information regarding the status and operation of the system components. Additionally, the arrangement of system components provide for expandability and programmability to configure the system for the protection of multiple and variable hazards (H) using customized or programmed detection and/or actuation. The systems include configured connectors () and colour coded schemes to facilitate system installation.

Fire suppression systems and methods

A vehicle fire suppression system includes a centralized controller, a detecting circuit, a releasing circuit, and a processor in communication with a monitoring circuit. The detecting circuit is coupled to the centralized controller and configured to indicate a detection of a fire. The releasing circuit includes an actuating device coupled to the centralized controller through an output bus. The actuating device is coupled to a supply of fire fighting agent. The centralized controller is configured to activate the actuating device to release the fire fighting agent to address the fire in response to the detection of the fire. The processor and the monitoring circuit are configured to determine if there is a fault in at least one of the detecting circuit and the releasing circuit.
