Abstract
The present system provides an integrated fire suppression system that includes all components in a single integrated panel, other than system piping to nozzles or emitters. The system enables the entire panel to be inspected and analyzed, and installed, repaired, or maintained in a single operation, dramatically reducing time spent on site and reducing the qualifying process as well. The assembly of the panel is off-site, typically under the inspection of any qualifying agencies. Once assembled, the system can remain qualified for rapid installation at any future time, allowing easy replacement of faulty panels or consumables.
Claims20
An integrated fire suppression system, comprising:
- a cabinet including a plurality of environmentally isolated compartments;
- a first walled compartment of the plurality of environmentally isolated compartments received with and mounting a plurality of fire suppression control systems including at least one of electrical components and controls coupled to at least one of water and gas solenoids, high pressure tank nozzles, and an emitter;
- a second walled compartment of the plurality having at least one of fluid storage and high pressure gas components, and isolating fluids and gas therein by a sealing mechanism disposed in an opening between the first and second walled compartments;
- a third walled compartment of the plurality further including solenoid and actuator systems;
- and
- at least one high pressure tank disposed in both the first and second walled compartments, wherein the tank includes a nozzle that extends through the opening and sealing mechanism and into the second walled compartment.
An integrated fire suppression system, comprising:
- a cabinet including three compartments defined by walls that isolate the compartments from each other and an exterior environment;
- the first walled compartment mounting a plurality of fire suppression control systems including at least one of electrical components and controls coupled with at least one of water and gas solenoids, high pressure tank nozzles, and an emitter;
- the second walled compartment having at least one of fluid storage and high pressure gas components, and isolating fluids and gas within the compartment by a sealing mechanism disposed in an opening between the first and second walled compartments;
- the third walled compartment further including solenoid and actuator systems;
- and
- at least one high pressure tank disposed in both the first and second walled compartments, wherein the tank includes a nozzle that extends through the opening into the second walled compartment.
An integrated fire suppression system, comprising:
- a cabinet including three compartments defined by walls and doors configured, when the doors are closed, to isolate the compartments from each other and an exterior environment;
- the first walled compartment mounting a plurality of fire suppression control systems including at least one of electrical components and controls coupled with at least one of water and gas solenoids, high pressure tank nozzles, and an emitter;
- the second walled compartment having at least one of fluid storage and high pressure gas components, and isolating fluids and gas within the compartment by a sealing mechanism disposed in an opening between the first and second walled compartments;
- the third walled compartment further including solenoid and actuator systems;
- and
- at least one high pressure tank disposed in both the first and second walled compartments, wherein the tank includes a nozzle that extends through the opening into the second walled compartment.
