<p>A disclosed system for automatically extinguishing a train fire in accordance with the present invention includes fire detection units provided in train cars of a train and configured to detect the occurrence of a fire; a control unit for receiving a signal from the fire detection unit and determining whether a fire is occurring; nozzle units provided in the train cars and configured to spray a fire extinguishing agent when the control unit determines that a fire is occurring; and fire extinguishing agent discharging units comprising housings that communicate with the nozzle units and are filled with the fire extinguishing agent at a predetermined pressure, valves for selectively opening and closing the housings and the nozzle units, and actuators for operating the valves under the control of the control unit. With the above-described system, a fire can be automatically and rapidly extinguished in the case where the fire is occurring in a train car, and which train car is on fire is immediately determined, so that countermeasures can be rapidly taken. Furthermore, fire extinguishing work can be performed only in a corresponding train car in which a fire is occurring, so that a fire can be effectively dealt with.</p> |
