Abstract
Systems and methods for a fire suppression system are provided. Aspects include receiving, from a sensor, environmental data associated with a location, determining a presence of a fire and a fire type based at least in part on the environmental data associated with the location, operating a fire suppression system in a plurality of modes based on the presence of the fire and the fire type, wherein the plurality of modes comprise a normal fire operation mode and a hazardous fire operation mode.
Claims9
A method for operating a fire suppression system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a sensor, environmental data associated with a location;
- determining a presence of a fire;
- determining whether the fire is a lithium ion battery fire or is not a lithium ion battery fire, based at least in part on a gas emission signature in the location, wherein determining whether the fire is a lithium ion battery fire or is not a lithium ion battery fire includes:
- analyzing the gas emission signature to determine a presence of lithium ion fire gas emissions;
- and
- based on determining the presence of the lithium ion fire gas emissions,
- operating a fire suppression system in:
- a first fire operation mode used when the lithium ion fire gas emissions are not present;
- or
- operating the fire suppression system in a lithium ion battery fire operation mode when the lithium ion fire gas emissions are present.
