A fire suppression system may comprise a shape memory actuation system. The shape memory actuation system may be configured as a retainer that retains a plug and/or a disk. The shape memory actuation system may be a shape memory plug that is configured to discharge from a vessel exhaust port. The shape memory actuation system may be deployable in response to an electrical stimulus (e.g., resistive heating causing the shape memory alloy to have a temperature exceeding a transition temperature).

An actuator includes a housing with a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a bore disposed therein. The bore defines a poppet movement axis and extends between the first end and second end of the housing. A solenoid is disposed within the bore and extends about the poppet movement axis. An armature is disposed within the bore and is movable along the poppet movement axis between a disengaged position and an engaged position, the engaged position proximate the solenoid and the disengaged position spaced apart from the solenoid. A magnet is disposed within the bore between the first end of the housing and the armature, the magnet magnetically coupled to the armature to bias the armature towards the disengaged position.

A fire-detecting device has first and second stressed brackets plugged together. The far ends of the first and second stressed brackets both have a towing hole. A disintegrable temperature-sensing device is between the first and second stressed brackets. First and second fixing pins are in the first and second brackets, respectively. The first fixing pin is located on one side of a free-moving piece and the second fixing pin is located on the other side thereof. A guide groove is in the first stressed bracket to correspond to the second fixing pin. A guide recess is in the second stressed bracket. A stressed shaft is in the second stressed bracket. An extension part having a stressed groove is in the first stressed bracket. When the disintegrable temperature-sensing device cracks off due to high temperature, the two stressed brackets will separate, leading to the fire dampers' shutting.

A self contained fire extinguisher system that does not need external power in order to sense or initiate a release of a fire suppression medium, includes components configured to utilize a linear sensor network that can be connected to at least one and/or different sources of fire suppression mediums. A linear temperature sensing cord can be routed over a large area not practical with individual sensors. The cord can also actuate several and different sources of fire suppression mediums to maximize the suppression of a fire.

A sprinkler system protects a combustible concealed space between a floor and a sloped roof above and includes a water supply line connected with a valve having a body and a passageway connecting an inlet and an outlet. A seal member is located and supported in a body along the passageway to block and open the passageway. A water discharge device is connected by piping with the outlet and installed in the concealed space at a location remote from the valve to spray water onto the Boon A thermal activation component includes a thermally responsive element installed at a location in the concealed space remote from the valve and the water discharge device. A flexible connector mechanically connects the thermal activation component and the valve and initiates movement of the seal member in response to a physical change in the thermally responsive element due to heating thereof.

A fire protection device for small electrical devices provided with a housing. The fire protection device includes a bursting capsule featuring a hollow space that is completely enclosed and delimited by a vessel wall, wherein a liquid is disposed in the hollow space. The liquid breaks the vessel wall at a predetermined trigger temperature due to thermal expansion thereby causing the bursting capsule to rupture. When the vessel wall ruptures and releases the liquid it has a fire preventing effect and/or a fire extinguishing effect.

A thermal trigger assembly for remote mechanical actuation of another fire protection system component includes an activation component having a base and a movable member. A bias member biases the movable member from a preactivation to an activated position with respect to the base. A thermally responsive element retains the movable member in the preactivation position until a predetermined thermodynamic condition is reached, when the thermally responsive element loses structural integrity. A flexible connector includes a flexible hollow outer cable housing with one end configured to be stationarily (preferably fixedly) connected with the base. A flexible cable is inside the outer cable housing for sliding movement therein and has one end configured to be stationarily (preferably fixedly) connected with the movable member. The flexible cable is moved with respect to the outer cable housing by movement of the movable member upon loss of structural integrity by the thermally responsive element.
