A system includes an energy storage system (ESS), having battery pods and one or more battery cells disposed within the battery pods. The system also includes an ESS trailer, the ESS mounted on the ESS trailer. Also, the system includes a water spray subsystem. The water spray subsystem includes a plurality of sprinkler nozzles mounted within the battery pods and a first fluid connection fluidly connecting the sprinkler nozzles to a pump package. In addition, the water spray subsystem includes a second fluid connection, fluidly connecting the pump package to a water storage supply. The system includes a dry chemical spray subsystem, which has a dry chemical supply vessel, the dry chemical supply vessel mounted to the ESS trailer and a plurality of dry chemical distribution nozzles mounted within the battery pods, the dry chemical distribution nozzles fluidly connected to the dry chemical supply vessel by dry chemical distribution piping.

A fire suppression system has a tank unit (40, 42, 44, 46). A tank body has a first port and an interior for storing at least one of fire suppressant and driver gas. A discharge assembly is mounted to the first port and has a discharge valve (50, 52) and a first monitoring switch or sensor (230 240) having a normally closed output (532) and a normally open output (534). A first monitoring system (100) is coupled to one of the normally closed output and the normally open output. A second monitoring system (340) is coupled to the other of the normally closed output and the normally open output.

A dry sprinkler assembly for fire suppression uses a tube within a pipe element to maintain a spring loaded valve in a closed position at the end of the pipe element connected to a piping network. The tube is held against the biasing force of the valve's spring by a plug, part of a temperature sensitive trigger assembly mounted on the opposite end of the pipe element.

A cargo compartment for use in a transport vehicle, the cargo compartment comprising a cargo compartment housing configured and adapted to comply with at least one regulatory requirement of the transport vehicle. The cargo compartment includes wheels attached to the cargo compartment housing. A cargo compartment system for use in a transport vehicle includes a cargo compartment. The cargo compartment includes a cargo compartment housing configured and adapted to comply with at least one regulatory requirement of the transport vehicle, and wheels attached to the cargo compartment housing. The cargo compartment system includes a seat track having at least one fastener. The cargo compartment housing is configured and adapted to couple to the seat track and be secured to the seat track via the at least one fastener.

A fire protection system includes a plurality of fluid distribution devices coupled to the fluid supply pipes to define four fluid distribution devices above a floor. The fluid distribution devices generate a spray pattern overlapping one another to define a rectangular fluid distribution area 2.5 ft. The rectangular area having a first pair of edges extending parallel to the fluid supply pipes and a second pair of edge extending perpendicular to the first edge. The fluid distribution devices are axially aligned above a corner of the rectangular area, the fluid distribution area defined by a grid of one square foot areas totaling an area no more than 12 ft.×8 ft., the rectangular area of fluid distribution having a total fluid density of at least 60 gpm/sq. ft., the rectangular area including a first zone of fluid distribution of a 4 ft.×4 ft. area.

A fire protection system is provided for a space having a pitched roof constructed of structural members extending from a ridgeline to an eave, with respective channels therebetween. A first row of sprinklers is mounted to a first branch line extending generally parallel to the ridgeline. Each sprinkler is positioned within a respective channel, with consecutive sprinklers spaced apart having no less than one, and no more than five, channels therebetween. A second row of sprinklers, downslope from the first row, is mounted to a second branch line extending generally parallel to the first branch line. Each sprinkler thereof is positioned within a respective channel, with consecutive second row sprinklers spaced apart as in the first row. Each second row sprinkler is also placed within a different channel from each first row sprinkler. A farthest number of channels between a first row sprinkler and a second row sprinkler is three.

An ignition-suppressing tape for sealing cut edges of polymer panels, the tape having a backing strip and a sealant strip that is disposed on a portion of a surface of the backing strip, and a pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed on other portions of the same surface of the backing strip.

A fire suppression assembly includes a dome that is positionable over a stove top or a cooking pot in which a fire has started. The dome is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit oxygen from feeding the fire thereby facilitating the fire to extinguish. A receiver is coupled to and extends away from the dome. A handle is pivotally coupled to the receiver to be gripped for placing the dome over the stove top or the cooking pot. The handle is positionable in a first position has the handle extending upwardly from the receiver. Conversely, the handle is positionable in a second position has the handle extending laterally away from the receiver.

A cooking device safety system includes a stovetop cooking device with a first sensor to detect the presence of an object on or adjacent to a burner; a second sensor to detect a condition of the burner; a transceiver to send a signal from the first and/or the second sensor to a remote device; a microcontroller with a timer; and a signal output device. A method for providing a safe cooking device environment includes detecting a status of a cooking device and detecting the presence of an object on or in the cooking device. When the cooking device has an activated status and an object is detected, the system detects whether a threshold cooking time has been exceeded. If the threshold has been exceeded, the system produces an alert via a signal output device; and/or sends an alert to a remote device; and/or inactivates the cooking device.
