Expulsion of a fire suppressant from a container

A fire suppression system comprising:

• a container including a fire suppressant, wherein the container comprises a first port and a second port;
• a gas generator coupled to the first port, wherein the gas generator is configured to generate and flow a propellant gas into the container via the first port, thereby causing a pressure within the container to increase, the container including the fire suppressant prior to generation of the propellant gas;
• a distribution manifold coupled to the second port;
• a disc sealing the second port, wherein the disc is configured to (a) rupture in response to the pressure within the container exceeding a threshold pressure and (b) in response to the rupture, release the fire suppressant from the second port into the distribution manifold,
• wherein the generated propellant gas is configured to flow into the container via the first port at least until substantially all of the fire suppressant included within the container prior to the generation of the propellant gas is expelled from the container via the second port, and
• wherein the generated propellant gas is configured to cause the pressure within the container to remain greater than or equal to the threshold pressure at least until substantially all of the fire suppressant included within the container prior to the generation of the propellant gas is expelled from the container.

• and
• a user interface that is configured to (a) receive user input and (b) in response to receiving the user input, send a control input to the gas generator to cause the gas generator to generate the propellant gas,
• wherein at least 60% and no more than 80% of a total volume of the container is filled with the fire suppressant,
• wherein the generated propellant gas is configured to flow into the container via the first port at least until substantially all of the fire suppressant included within the container prior to the generation of the propellant gas is expelled from the container via the second port, and
• wherein the generated propellant gas is configured to cause the pressure within the container to remain greater than or equal to the threshold pressure at least until substantially all of the fire suppressant included within the container prior to the generation of the propellant gas is expelled from the container.
