Embodiments relate to a screen-type fire suppression system for an electric vehicle, and more particularly, to a screen-type fire suppression system for an electric vehicle which, in the event of a fire in a parked electric vehicle, unfolds a screen on the sides of the electric vehicle to prevent the spread of the fire and simultaneously increase the concentration of water sprayed onto the electric vehicle, thereby maximizing fire suppression efficiency.

The present disclosure introduces a nozzle apparatus and method. In one embodiment, a spray nozzle apparatus is described. The spray nozzle apparatus includes a plurality of flow channels formed by the combination of a: sprayhead, a major element, and a minor element. The sprayhead may have a plurality of holes. The major element is retained within the sprayhead by a nozzle nut and spring, allowing a first annular gap to form between the sprayhead and the major element. The minor element is retained within the major element by a second nozzle nut and second spring, allowing a second annular gap to form between the major element and the minor element. The minor element may have an axial hole. Other embodiments also are described.

The invention relates to the use of a gas or liquid-jet curtain generated by spraying non-flammable gases or liquids for diluting and/or ejecting clouds of flammable gases, the density of which does not exceed the density of air, from containments that have one or more outer openings, and also to a method for diluting and/or ejecting clouds of flammable gases, the density of which does not exceed the density of air, from containments that have one or more outer openings, wherein, by spraying non-flammable gases or liquids at at least one outer opening, a gas or liquid-jet curtain is generated that dilutes the clouds of flammable gases situated in the containment or bears them in the direction of the at least one outer opening and thus ejects them.

A jet shower sprayer includes three or more tubular distribution members connected together end to end forming an endless fluid path therein. Each tubular distribution member includes a plurality of nozzle openings. A water supply port is connected to and in fluid communication with the tubular distribution members.

An autonomous grid storage system (1) with a foam based fire prevention system. The autonomous grid storage system is in the form of a grid storage structure (104) dived into sub grids (10A, 10B, 10C) separated by firebreak or firebreaks (12). A foam dispensing system (20) dispenses a fire-retardant foam into the firebreak or firebreaks in the event of fire.

A fire suppression and isolation system includes an ejection nozzle, a dispersion nozzle, and a valve assembly. The ejection nozzle is positioned between a non-hazard volume and a hazard volume. The dispersion nozzle is spaced apart from the ejection nozzle and is disposed within the hazard volume. The valve assembly is arranged to control a release of a suppression medium from a container to the ejection nozzle and the dispersion nozzle, responsive to a thermal event, such that the suppression medium that is ejected from the ejection nozzle defines a fluid barrier that is disposed between the non-hazard volume and the hazard volume.
