TEMPERATURE DERIVATIVE BASED LAUNCH METHOD FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS

摘要

A fire suppression system is provided including at least one spray head. A drive source is coupled to the at least one spray head by a supply line that delivers an extinguishing medium thereto. A control valve is connected to the supply line between the drive source and the at least one spray head. The system includes at least one temperature indicator for measuring a surrounding temperature. A control unit is operably coupled to the drive source, the control valve, and the at least one temperature indicator. The control unit monitors a rate at which the temperature measured by the at least one temperature indicator changes to determine a location of a fire.
