BATTERY MODULE HAVING STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF RAPID COOLING, AND ESS COMPRISING SAME
A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells; a module housing configured to accommodate a cell stack including the plurality of battery cells; and a sprinkler provided through the module housing at one side of the cell stack in a stacking direction, and the sprinkler includes a coupler positioned at an outer side of the module housing and connected to a supply tube that supplies a cooling fluid; a sprinkler head positioned at an inner side of the module housing and connected to the coupler; and an insulation cover assembly having an insulation cover configured to cover the sprinkler head and an impeller assembly configured to cover an opening formed at one side end of the insulation cover in a longitudinal direction.
ANECHOIC CHAMBER FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
A nozzle box unit forming a component of an anechoic chamber fire suppression system is provided. The nozzle box unit includes a pusher assembly that is configured to dislodge a piece of acoustic material positioned in front of the nozzle box so as to permit discharge of a fire suppressing material from a nozzle mounted inside the nozzle box unit into the anechoic chamber.

Systems and methods of storage fire protection
A fire protection sprinkler includes a sprinkler frame and a deflector. The deflector is coupled to the sprinkler frame and distributes fluid discharged from an outlet of the sprinkler in a spray pattern centered about a sprinkler axis and defined by a fluid density in a first quadrant area 2.5 feet (ft.) below the sprinkler and perpendicular to the sprinkler axis, the first quadrant area having a first corner disposed along the sprinkler axis with a first edge extending in the direction of a fluid supply pipe, a second edge extending perpendicular to the first edge and intersecting the first edge at the sprinkler axis, the first quadrant area being defined by a grid of one square foot areas totaling an area of no more than 10 ft.×10 ft., the total fluid density being at least 15 gpm/sq. ft.

Sectional fire protection for attic spaces
Sectional fire protection systems and methods for the protection of an attic space are provided. A fluid control thermal detection device is located above a ceiling base and one or more open fluid distribution devices are disposed, spaced and connected to the fluid control thermal detection device for receipt of firefighting fluid from the fluid control thermal detection device to protect the attic space with a desired fluid density and total system flow demand.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCANNING AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLE FOR A TOOL
A system includes an emergency response vehicle transitionable between a motive state and a non-motive state and a tool. The tool includes an identifier and is configured to be removably secured to the emergency response vehicle. The system further includes a scanner coupled to the emergency response vehicle and operable to identify the identifier when the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle. A control module is communicatively coupled to the scanner and includes a processor and a memory storing instructions which cause the processor to determine that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between the motive state and the non-motive state, and, in response to determining that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between the motive state and the non-motive state, cause the scanner to scan the emergency response vehicle for the identifier to determine whether the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle.
FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM INCLUDING NOZZLE WITH MULTIPLE SPRAY ANGLES
A method for suppressing a fire including providing a fire suppression system including at least one nozzle within a hazard area, activating the fire suppression system in response to detecting a potential fire within the hazard area, and releasing a fire suppression agent toward the hazard area through the at least one nozzle at a spray angle defined between outermost edges of fire suppression agent when released through the at least one nozzle. The spray angle is a first spray angle for a first time period. The method further including releasing the fire suppression agent toward the hazard area through the at least one nozzle at a second spray angle, greater than the first spray angle, for a second time period.
Fire suppression system having a compound discharge nozzle
Disclosed is a fire suppressant system for an aircraft having: a source of a fire suppressant; a tubing system for delivering the fire suppressant to one or more predetermined locations; and a discharge nozzle disposed in the one or more predetermined locations, the discharge nozzle connected to the tubing system for distributing the fire suppressant in the one or more predetermined locations during a fire, the discharge nozzle including a plurality of nozzle heads including a first nozzle head with a first flow area and a second nozzle head with a second flow area that differs from the first flow area.
