Sprinkler head with vane deflector
A sprinkler includes an inlet aperture, an outlet aperture, a body, a conical member, and a deflector. The inlet aperture receives fire suppressant agent at an inlet end of the sprinkler and the outlet aperture is at an outlet end of the sprinkler. The body extends along a longitudinal axis and includes an inner volume forming a fluid flow path between the inlet end and the outlet end of the sprinkler. The conical member is positioned at the outlet end of the sprinkler directs the fire suppressant agent outwards. The deflector receives fire suppressant agent from the conical member and distributes the fire suppressant agent about a service area. The deflector includes multiple tines, which each extend along a corresponding radial axis that is substantially perpendicular with the longitudinal axis. Each tine is offset by an angular amount about the corresponding radial axis.

System and method for delivering a cooling agent to a gas-fueled cooking appliance to aid in fire suppression
A system for delivering a cooling agent to cooking appliance to aid in fire suppression is disclosed, which includes a fuel delivery path extending from a source of cooking fuel to a heating element of the cooking appliance, a source of cooling agent selectively in fluid communication with the fuel delivery path, and a valve assembly associated with the fuel delivery path and the source of cooling agent, wherein the valve assembly is configured to control the delivery of cooling agent to the heating element of the cooking appliance and shut off the heating element from the source of cooking fuel in the event of a fire.
SPRAY MIST NOZZLE FOR FIRE-FIGHTING SYSTEMS, AND FIRE-FIGHTING SYSTEMS HAVING SAME
The invention relates to a spray mist nozzle, in particular an open high-pressure spray mist nozzle for firefighting systems, having a housing which is configured with an extinguishing fluid inlet and is configured with multiple recesses for receiving an exchangeable nozzle insert, such a nozzle insert being inserted into one, multiple/plural or all the recesses. The nozzle insert has a main body with a longitudinal axis that has in the longitudinal axis a spray mist outlet for the extinguishing fluid. An exchangeable swirl body is arranged in the main body and is configured to swirl the extinguishing fluid prior to the latter exiting from the spray mist outlet. The spray mist outlet has a minimum opening cross section, and has a widened exit cross section downstream of the minimum opening cross section, wherein a transition from the minimum opening cross section to the exit cross section runs along a convexly curved surface.
