Dynamic fire suppression system and method i'hereof
11406855 · 2022-08-09 · ·

A fire suppression system having a first triggering mechanism capable of being remotely triggered in response to a fire condition and a second manual triggering mechanism. More particularly, the fire extinguisher includes a valve for a fire extinguisher capable of manual and automatic operation. The system further includes a mechanism to notify of inoperable local status. During automatic operation, the system can be being triggered by a control panel in electrical communication, such as in response to a signal from smoke detectors. This system may also be manually triggered or in response to a temperature threshold sensor or other sensors. The valve includes an actuator that provides a separate area to place a safety pin for storing securely, and which provides feedback to the control system that the safety pin is properly stored and therefore, the fire extinguisher is active.

Fire-fighting system for an aircraft, having a double-chamber reservoir
11389677 · 2022-07-19 · ·

A fire-fighting system for an aircraft, the fire-fighting system having a reservoir having an exterior envelope which delimits an interior volume of the reservoir and an interior wall which extends inside the exterior envelope and separates the interior volume into a first chamber and a second chamber which are separate from one another and are each filled with an extinguishing fluid. A network of pipes, and a valve system are provided which are arranged so as to allow, in succession, the extinguishing fluid to flow from the first chamber to the network of pipes, and then the extinguishing fluid to flow from the second chamber to the network of pipes. Such a fire-fighting system allows simpler installation in the aircraft, the fitting of a single network of pipes and hence a saving in terms of weight and volume.
