FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Fire suppression systems (10) for vehicles and industrial applications including arrangements of an input bus (24) and output bus (26) coupled to a centralized controller (20) 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 (25) and colour coded schemes to facilitate system installation.

1. A vehicle fire suppression system comprising:
a centralized controller; at least one input bus coupled to the centralized controller, the input bus providing for connecting analog and digital devices to the centralized controller; at least one output bus coupled to an extinguishment supply and an actuating device for releasing the extinguishment, the actuating device being coupled to the centralized controller; and a manual actuating device coupled to the input bus for communication with the centralized controller to electrically signal the actuating device on the output bus to provide for manual actuation via an electrical signal.
