FIRE PREVENTION AND EXTINGUISHING ASSEMBLY

摘要

There is described a carbon bed absorber (7) including a temperature sensor (10), e.g. a conduit (10) which fuses at a predetermined temperature, wherein the sensor (10) is operably linked (11, 15) to a supply of fire extinguishing fluid (14) to cause flow of the fluid to the bed (7) on the sensor (10) sensing a predetermined elevated temperature. In a preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor is an optical fibre (10) which fuses at the predetermined temperature.
