THERMALLY-INITIATED VENTING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING SAME

摘要

An apparatus includes a thermally-activated, deflagration initiation device (205), a deflagration-to-detonation transition manifold (210), a first transfer line (225) connecting the deflagration initiation device and the deflagration-to-detonation transition manifold, and a linear shaped charge (605) coupled with a second transfer line (230). An apparatus includes a heat-to-detonation transition manifold (1310), a heat pipe (1305) connected to the transition manifold, a linear shaped charge, and a transfer line (1330) connecting the heat-to-detonation transition manifold and the linear shaped charge. An apparatus includes a thermally-activated pyrotechnic train (2115) and a linear shaped charge (2110) coupled with the pyrotechnic train. A method includes initiating a deflagrating material at a predetermined temperature or within a predetermined range of temperatures, initiating a detonating material with the deflagrating material, and initiating a linear shaped charge with the detonated material.
