Provided is a dropping-type fire extinguishing body that, in fire extinguishing using a gel-like fire extinguishing agent, can allow the fire extinguishing agent to be smoothly conveyed and dropped.

A dropping-type fire extinguishing body 1 to be dropped onto the fire site to extinguish the fire, wherein a gelling agent 3 is contained in a bag body 2 formed of a water-permeable material and water is permeated into the body and is mixed with the gelling agent to prepare a gel-like fire extinguishing agent, thereby filling the gel-like fire extinguishing agent into the inside of the bag body.

A method of manufacturing a self-expanding fire-fighting foam solution is disclosed. Here, the method can include purging air from a container, wherein the purging is performed via flowing an inert gas into the container, such that substantially inert environment is created within the container. In addition, the method can further include dispensing or filling a pre-determined amount of foam concentrate into a container, dispensing or filling a pre-determined amount of water into the container, and mixing the foam concentrate and water within the container, wherein the mixed foam and water within the inert container provide the self-expanding fire-fighting foam solution and having a pH ranging from about 6.8 to 7.8 moles per liter.

A fire engine including a vehicle frame, a liquid nitrogen storage tank, a liquid nitrogen conveying pipeline, a gasification device, a plurality of electric valves, a water pipe adapter, a liquid nitrogen spray gun, and a mixed spray gun. The liquid nitrogen conveying pipeline includes a first pipeline and a second pipeline. The first pipeline connects the lower part of the liquid nitrogen storage tank, the gasification device, and the upper part of the liquid nitrogen storage tank sequentially in that order. The second pipeline connects the liquid nitrogen storage tank, an input end of the liquid nitrogen spray gun, and a first input end of the mixed spray gun. The mixed spray gun includes a first input end, a second input end, a liquid nitrogen nozzle, and a spray pipe. The spray pipe includes a contraction section, an expansion section, and an acceleration section.

A fire suppression nozzle can include a first fluid channel configured to be in fluid communication with a first fluid having a first flow velocity and a second fluid channel configured to be in fluid communication with a second fluid having a second flow velocity. A mixer can be disposed between the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel such that the mixer is configured to induce streamwise vorticity in at least the first fluid exiting first fluid channel to cause mixing of the first fluid and the second fluid to reduce a flow speed of a mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid.

An aqueous fire extinguishing agent and a preparation method thereof are provided, which are used for making a throw-type fire extinguisher. The aqueous fire extinguishing agent is composed of two compositions of A and B. The composition A is a fortified water added with a flame retardant (e.g., one or more of ammonium chloride, diammonium hydrogen phosphate and ammonium polyphosphate), a wetting agent (e.g., alkyl polyglycoside) and a colloid (e.g., polyacrylamide solution). The composition B is a regulator. After the composition A and the composition B are mixed, a discharge rate/speed of fire extinguishing substances is increased, so that an escape passage/route can be opened up quickly.

Proposed is a battery fire suppression system with a fire extinguishing agent cooling function, in which a fire extinguishing gas serves as a refrigerant for cooling a fire extinguishing agent and at the same time, the fire extinguishing gas is sprayed into a battery room or a battery module to quickly extinguish a fire in the battery. While allowing the fire extinguishing gas to basically serve as the refrigerant, depending on the amount of combustible materials loaded in the battery room, the shape of battery cells installed inside the battery module, the battery capacity, etc., it is possible to selectively determine whether to allow the fire extinguishing gas to serve only as the refrigerant, or to allow the fire extinguishing gas to be sprayed to the battery module where the fire has occurred to cool the surface of the battery module or directly extinguish the fire in the battery module.

A proportioner having a body portion that defines a foam passage and a fluid passage. The proportioner also includes a restrictor assembly having a restrictor disk and an orifice plate having an opening for receiving the restrictor disk. The proportioner can further include a rod member connected to the restrictor disk and a clapper assembly connected to the rod member via a sliding interface. The clapper assembly can be configured to control a flow of the foam concentrate through the foam passage in proportion to a flow of the fire protection fluid through the fluid passage by moving the rod member to vary the distance between the restrictor disk and the orifice plate. The sliding interface can be disposed between a first guide and a second guide, and at least a portion of the restrictor disk is deposed in the opening.

This relates to apparatus that can form dilute aqueous firefighting compositions from an aqueous concentrate.

A fire suppression system for mitigating a thermal runaway event. The system comprising a battery pack having a housing defining a volume, a battery module arranged within the housing, and a plurality of battery cells arranged within the battery module, where the plurality of battery cells are configured to provide an electrical output. The system also comprising a suppression system coupled with the battery pack, the suppression system comprising a nozzle configured to receive a gaseous fluid and a liquid fluid, where the nozzle is configured to deliver a mist suppressant including the gaseous fluid and the liquid fluid to the battery pack, such that the gaseous fluid entrains the liquid fluid to mitigate the thermal runaway event.

A fire apparatus includes a fluid delivery system having a water circuit, an agent circuit, and a ratio controller. The water circuit includes a water pump configured to pump water from a water source through the water circuit. The agent circuit includes an agent tank configured to store an agent, an agent pump configured to pump the agent through the agent circuit, and an agent metering valve positioned to variably restrict a flow of the agent therethrough. The ratio controller is positioned to receive the water and the agent. The ratio controller is configured to provide an agent-water solution to one or more outlets. The agent metering valve is a self-adjusting metering valve having a valve controller configured to adjust at least one of an orifice size and a valve position based on a water flow rate entering the ratio controller and a preselected agent-to-water ratio for the agent-water solution.
