Abstract
A fire suppressing device including a torus container with a main body defining an interior chamber and a discharge port, the interior chamber configured to receive and retain metal organic framework materials. The fire suppressing device also includes an inductor coil extending through the interior chamber of the torus container and surrounding the metal organic framework materials. The inductor coil is configured to heat the metal organic framework materials to form a fire suppressing substance that is conveyed through the discharge port.
Claims20
A fire suppressing device comprising:
- a torus container including a main body defining an interior chamber and a discharge port;
- metal organic framework materials disposed within the interior chamber of the torus container;
- and
- an inductor coil extending through the interior chamber of the torus container and surrounding the metal organic framework materials;
- wherein the inductor coil is configured to heat the metal organic framework materials to form a fire suppressing substance that is conveyed through the discharge port.
A fire suppressing assembly comprising:
- a flow conduit including at least one discharge nozzle;
- at least one fire suppressing device coupled to the flow conduit and configured to discharge a fire suppressing substance into the flow conduit, comprising:
- a torus container including a main body defining an interior chamber and a discharge port;
- metal organic framework materials disposed within the interior chamber of the torus container;
- and
- an inductor coil extending through the interior chamber of the torus container;
- wherein the inductor coil is configured to heat the metal organic framework materials to form the fire suppressing substance that is discharged into the flow conduit.
A fire suppressing device comprising:
- a container including a main body defining an interior chamber;
- metal organic framework materials disposed within the interior chamber of the container;
- a toroidal coil extending through the interior chamber of the container and surrounding the metal organic framework materials, wherein the toroidal coil is configured to provide a uniform magnetic flux within the interior chamber when receiving current to heat the metal organic framework materials;
- and
- an insulative barrier disposed between the toroidal coil and metal organic framework materials;
- wherein the metal organic framework materials form a fire suppressing substance when heated by the toroidal coil.
