MULTIPLE DISCHARGE FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM

摘要

5 A fire extinguishing system for use in a crew compartment of a ground-basedvehicle includes at least two cylinders. The cylinders dispense a fire extinguishing agent through a release mechanism. A control for the overall system is operable to actuate the two cylinders. A nozzle is positioned downstream of the release mechanism to distinguish the extinguishing agent into the crew compartment. The10 majority of the dispensing from at least a first of the two cylinders occurs in less than five seconds.Figure 1
