Disclosed herein is an Ambient Mist Sprinkler head for extinguishing fires that comprises a plurality of mist nozzles attached to a head. The Ambient Mist nozzles are arranged spatially on the head at various angles. The number of mist nozzles, the spatial arrangement and the angular placement of the mist nozzles can vary, depending on the area of coverage required. The angular placement of the mist nozzles on the head is effected so that the mist nozzles stream emerging from one mist nozzle does not impinge on a mist stream emerging from another mist nozzle while providing a maximal amount of mist production, and minimizes the occurrence of streams of water droplets.

The present invention relates to Ambient Mist Technology and relates to tools that employ Ambient Technology in combating fire, smoke and airborne pollutants. They do not require gravity to work and can be used at any angle required.

A fire suppression apparatus for fighting fires from a vehicle configured for flight is disclosed, comprising a foam and water held in separate containers aboard the vehicle that when mixed forms a fire retardant, a pump driven by an electric motor to pressurize the fire retardant, the pump including an air induction valve where air is drawn into a suction end of the pump and pressurized together with the fire retardant, and an aimable boom connected to the pump by a conduit, the boom including a nozzle on a distal end of the boom from which the pressurized fire retardant and air is dispensed toward a target.

A wall-mountable spray head unit for delivering a fire suppressant liquid is disclosed. The spray head unit includes a rotatable spray head assembly having a spray manifold rotatable about a first axis, and a spray nozzle supported by the spray manifold and orientated to deliver fire-suppressant material radially in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis. The spray head unit also includes one or more fire-locating, sensors including a visible-light camera, a microphone, or both.

A fire suppression device has a pump and spray nozzle in hydraulic communication with the interior environment of a swimming pool. The pump and spray nozzle are capable of remote and automatic operation by wireless sensors configured to direct a stream of liquid upon an adjacent fire. The device may be powered via solar power.

A method for operating an extinguishing system comprisesan electronic controller (15) with a computer module (18) for data processing and a memory device (17), wherein the controller (15) comprises an image processing device which receives and evaluates data from a camera (8), at least one extinguishing agent dispenser (9) connected to the controller, which extinguishing agent dispenser is connected to an extinguishing agent line for supplying extinguishing agent andat least one camera (8) connected to the controller. The image processing device evaluates image regions that indicate a hotspot (6) with regard to isothermal regions (22), compares these regions (22) with stored patterns and, depending on the comparison, controls the extinguishing agent dispenser (9) to discharge extinguishing agent or prevents the discharge of extinguishing agent.

A fire-fighting cannon for the management of fires, in particular in a waste disposal centre, comprises a fixed base constrainable to a ceiling or to a vertical wall of a room defining a corresponding lying plane, a tubular body extending along an emission direction of at least one jet of fire-fighting fluid. In particular, the tubular body is arranged below or alongside the fixed base with respect to a normal direction to the lying plane. The fire-fighting cannon further comprises movement means configured to orient the tubular body between a plurality of operating positions, including an initial position in which the emission direction has a predefined angle of inclination with respect to the normal direction. The movement means is configured to orient the tubular body also in a position of inversion in which the emission direction is parallel to the normal direction, so as to emit the jet of fire-fighting fluid in a zone of the ground arranged underneath the fire-fighting cannon if the fixed base is constrained to the ceiling, or in a zone with horizontal output if the fixed base is constrained to the wall.
