<p>A fire extinguishing system (120, 220, 320, 410) for use in a crew compartment of a ground-based vehicle includes at least two cylinders (124, 200; 126, 226, 326, 426, 202). The cylinders dispense a fire extinguishing agent through a release mechanism (123; 325; 204). A control (122; 322; 420) for the overall system is operable to actuate the two cylinders. A nozzle (24; 206) is positioned downstream of the release mechanism to dispense the extinguishing agent into the crew compartment. The majority of the dispensing from at least a first (124) of the two cylinders occurs in less than five seconds.</p> |
