<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated cargo-fire-suppression agent distribution system including a vehicle ventilation means operable to distribute a fire-suppression agent or an airflow. <P>SOLUTION: The integrated cargo-fire-suppression agent distribution system comprises a conditioned air supply source 302, a conditioned air shut-off valve 304, a duct system 306, one or more distribution nozzles 308, at least one fire-suppression agent supply source 310, a fire-suppression agent flow control valve, a plumbing connection 314, a fire/smoke detector 316, and a controller 318. When a fire-warning signal is received the conditioned air shut-off valve 304 is closed to block the airflow and to enable the distribution of the fire-suppression agent instead. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
