FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM

摘要

A fire suppression system for a container including a first tank containing a first liquid component of a two-part foam and a second tank containing a second liquid component of the foam. The system also includes at least one liquid component release device configured to be selectively capable of releasing the first and second components from their respective containers upon receipt of a signal from a fire detector upon detection of a fire. The two-part foam components are propelled through the system by a pressurized propellant that, upon release of the release device, causes the exit of the foam components from their respective tanks, through a mixing conduit to at least one nozzle. The nozzle is configured to spray the liquid component foam mixture into the container wherein the foam cures into a substantially semi-rigid, closed cell foam that is substantially impermeable and may have charring and/or intumescence properties.

1. A fire suppression system for a container comprising:
a first component tank containing a first liquid foam component of a two-part foam; a second component tank containing a second liquid foam component of said two-part foam; at least one component release device in fluid communication with said first component tank and said second component tank, said at least one component release device being configured to be selectively capable of releasing said first and second liquid foam components from said first and second component tanks; a sensor in electric communication with said at least one component release device, wherein said sensor electronically signals for the release of said first and said second liquid foam components upon detection of a fire; a propellant in fluid communication with said first and said second liquid foam components wherein the activation of said at least one component release device results in a unrestrained positive pressure applied upon said first liquid foam component and said second foam component by said propellant thereby causing the exit of said first liquid foam component from said first component tank and the exit of said second liquid foam component from said second component tank; a first pressure regulator in fluid communication with said first component tank selectively capable of regulating the flow and pressure of said propellant into said first component tank; a second pressure regulator in fluid communication with said second component tank selectively capable of regulating the flow and pressure of said propellant into said second component tank; a mixing conduit in fluid communication with said first and second component tanks and configured to receive said first and said second liquid foam components and cause mixing thereof; and at least one nozzle in fluid communication with said mixing conduit and configured to spray said mixed first and second liquid foam components into said container.
