An apparatus of supplying a fire extinguishing agent to a high voltage battery pack of a vehicle when a fire occurs in a battery case installing a high voltage battery pack includes a fire detection device that is configured to detect an occurrence of the fire in the battery pack, an inflow plug which is formed at the battery case and is configured to allow the fire extinguishing agent to flow into the battery case when open, a fire extinguishing agent supply pipe connected to the inflow plug and guiding the fire extinguishing agent to the inflow plug, and an inflow plug opening device that is configured to open the inflow plug when the fire is detected in the fire detection device.

A fusible mechanical linkage includes a tensioner having an aperture and a spool with guides arranged on an end of the spool opposite the aperture. The guides define a cable seat between one another. A fusible alloy is arranged between the spool and the tensioner, the fusible alloy fixing the spool to the tensioner below a predetermined temperature, the fusible alloy allowing tension carried by an actuation cable received in the cable seat to rotate the spool relative to the tensioner above the predetermined temperature. Fire suppression systems and methods adjusting actuation cables in fire suppression systems are described.

A conduit fitting is provided herein. The conduit fitting may be configured to couple to an electrical mechanical tubing (EMT) often used in a fire suppression system. The conduit fitting may include a first cylindrical section and a second conical section. The first cylindrical section and the second conical section can both include a slit extending partially through the conduit fitting.

A fire protection system includes a fire extinguisher including a housing. The housing includes an extinguisher outlet and a burst disk. The burst disk configured to retain a volume of fire suppressant material in the housing. A firing cartridge is operably connected to the housing. The firing cartridge includes an output charge, and an ignition charge that, when detonated, causes release of the output charge to rupture the burst disk and release the volume of fire suppressant material through the extinguisher outlet. An optical fiber is configured to transmit a light signal toward the ignition charge to heat and detonate the ignition charge. A light source is operably connected to the optical fiber to transmit the light signal along the optical fiber.

A fire protection system includes two or more fire extinguishers. Each fire extinguisher includes a housing, the housing including an extinguisher outlet and a burst disk. The burst disk is configured to retain a volume of fire suppressant material in the housing. A firing cartridge is operably connected to the housing and includes an output charge, and an ignition charge that, when detonated, causes release of the output charge to rupture the burst disk and release the volume of fire suppressant material through the extinguisher outlet. An optical fiber is configured to transmit a light signal toward the ignition charge to heat and detonate the ignition charge. A light source is operably connected to the optical fiber to selectably transmit a first light signal to selectably activate a first fire extinguisher or a second fire extinguisher of the two or more fire extinguishers.

An actuation mechanism of a fire suppression system includes a first input having a first tension, a second input having a second tension, and an output. When the actuation mechanism is in an inactive configuration, the first input and the second input cooperate to maintain a third tension in the output.

A manual activation system includes a bracket rotatable about a first axis between a first configuration and a second configuration and a pulley movable between an inactive position and an active position. The pulley is mounted to the bracket and is rotatable about a second axis. A tension member is wrapped about the pulley and has a tensile force acting on the pulley. An activation member is configured to cooperate with the bracket to selectively oppose the tensile force.
