FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM FOR BATTERY PACK

The present invention discloses a fire extinguishing system for a battery pack, including a detection control apparatus, a fire suppression apparatus, and a hydrant water extinguishing apparatus. The detection control apparatus is disposed inside or outside a battery pack. The fire suppression apparatus and the hydrant water extinguishing apparatus are disposed outside the battery pack. The detection control apparatus is connected to the fire suppression apparatus. The hydrant water extinguishing apparatus is connected to the fire suppression apparatus. Beneficial effects: It is ensured that initial fire can be suppressed and later reignition can be resolved, so that fire extinguishing is adequate. Fire is directly extinguished at a core position inside the battery pack. An exhaust filter device gains valuable time after initial fire extinguishing.

Electric-pneumatic actuator assembly

An actuator assembly for use in fire suppression systems for use in vehicle and industrial fire protection systems. The actuator assembly engages a cartridge of pressurized gas and releases the gas contained therein with a puncturing assembly. The actuator assembly includes a receptacle that controls the manner in which the actuator assembly and cartridge engage one another. The actuator assembly is configured for electrical and pneumatic actuation for rupturing the seal of the cartridge of pressurized gas. The actuator assembly has a housing that includes at least one inlet port that is coupled to a pressurized gas source, which is formed between a first chamber for electrical components sealed from the operative environment of the actuator assembly and a second chambers for the puncturing assembly. The actuator assembly allows for serial interconnection of multiple actuator assemblies for operation by a single source of pressurized gas.
