An aircraft has a fire suppression control system for a plurality of enclosures 17 within the aircraft. The aircraft comprises a directional valve 6a for each enclosure, sensors 20 provided for each enclosure for monitoring variables of the enclosure, one or more fire suppression agent bottles 1a, 1b and a control unit 12 for regulating the discharge of the fire suppression agent. The sensors are operatively linked by the control unit to a warning system in a cockpit 30 of the aircraft. The warning system comprises a separate fire hazard alarm 32 and manual control 35 for each enclosure. In the case of detection of a hazardous variable in an enclosure, the warning system fire hazard alarm for that enclosure is activated and the directional valve for the endangered enclosure is unlocked by the control unit. Only then can the manual control be manually activated to open the directional valve of the endangered enclosure and discharge the fire suppression agent through the unlocked, open directional valve to the endangered enclosure. A method of controlling a fire suppression system is also disclosed. |
