A fire suppression device comprises a tank 2 for containing a fire suppressing fluid, said tank comprising at least one filling inlet 4 for filling the tank with fire suppressing fluid, at least one discharge outlet 12 for discharging the fire suppressing fluid from the tank to a surrounding environment. The fire suppression device further includes a submersible pump 6 within said tank comprising at least one pump inlet 8 configured to draw fire suppressing fluid from within the tank, and at least one pump outlet 7, fluidly connected to the at least one discharge outlet. The submersible pump is substantially housed within a sleeve 9, wherein the sleeve is secured to the base of the tank and incorporates at least one opening 10 in close proximity to the base of the tank for the passage of fire suppressing fluid to the pump inlet. In use, the at least one opening is configured to ensure that the pump draws fire suppressing fluid from the base of the tank thus preventing cavitation within the fire suppressing fluid. The discharge outlet preferably includes an isolation valve and a mist generating nozzle. |
