A smart fluid application nozzle consisting of an optical based event locating system, a multi-port nozzle block, and a port switching mechanism is disclosed by the present application. The smart nozzle utilizes a unique arrangement of discharge ports, allowing the angle of the discharge agent to be controlled without moving the nozzle housing. Multiple ports are activated per event to create a uniform fluid distribution within the discharging jet while controlling the discharge angle, which cannot be achieved through a single port discharge. Upon receiving a detection signal, the event locating system determines the spatial location of the event region and activates the appropriate discharge ports, thereby directing agent toward the event zone and applying fluid while minimizing damage to nearby areas. The use of the system may be used wherever the precise directed application of as fluid is desired including, fire suppression.
A smart nozzle fluid delivery system comprising at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to directly detect and identify an event, a nozzle block wherein the block is comprised of multiple nozzle ports through each of which a jet of fluid media is selectively expelled, wherein a size, angle and shape of the multiple nozzle ports are individually configured in order that the fluid media is expelled through a combination of more than one of the multiple nozzle ports, wherein the jet of fluid media selectively expelled from the multiple nozzle ports interact to form a single directed jet of fluid media, each of the multiple nozzle ports having an individual valve, each of the multiple nozzle ports having an individual fluid media cell, the individual media cell containing the fluid media in order that the fluid media may be expelled under pressure through the multiple nozzle ports wherein the single directed jet of fluid media is projected onto the event;
