Abstract
The present system provides an integrated fire suppression system that enables use of hybrid media fire-extinguishing systems and methods, and which includes all components in a single integrated control panel and cabinet, other than system piping to nozzles or emitters. The system enables the entire panel and cabinet 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;
- a plurality of fire suppression control systems received and mounted in the first walled compartment and including electrical components and controls for at least one of water and gas solenoids, adjustable during operation to enable emission of a hybrid media, high pressure tank nozzles, and an emitter having at least one orifice sized for a predetermined operating pressure that during operation emits the hybrid media with inert gas and water mist having a predetermined droplet size;
- a second walled compartment laterally adjacent to the first walled compartment and having fluid storage and high pressure gas components, and an opening defined between the first and second walled compartments;
- a third walled compartment further including solenoid and actuator systems;
- and
- at least one high pressure tank containing the inert gas and disposed in both the first and second walled compartments, the at least one high pressure tank mounted in a horizontal orientation with a first end in the first walled compartment and a second end in the second walled compartment, wherein the tank includes a nozzle that extends through the opening and into the second walled compartment, wherein the opening is sealed around the tank to isolate the first walled compartment from the second walled compartment, and wherein the plurality of fire suppression control systems are mounted in the first walled compartment above the at least one high pressure tank.

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 electrical components and controls for at least one of adjustable water and gas solenoids that during operation enable emission of a hybrid media, high pressure tank nozzles, and an emitter;
- the second walled compartment laterally adjacent to the first walled compartment and having fluid storage and high pressure gas components, and an opening defined between the first and second walled compartments;
- the third walled compartment further including solenoid and actuator systems;
- and
- at least one high pressure tank containing an inert gas and disposed in both the first and second walled compartments, the at least one high pressure tank mounted in a horizontal orientation with a first end in the first walled compartment and a second end in the second walled compartment, wherein the tank includes a nozzle that extends through the opening into the second walled compartment, wherein the opening is sealed around the tank to isolate the first walled compartment from the second walled compartment, and wherein the plurality of fire suppression control systems are mounted in the first walled compartment above the at least one high pressure tank.

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 electrical components and controls for at least one of adjustable water and gas solenoids, high pressure tank nozzles, and an emitter that during operation emits water and gas as a hybrid media;
- the second walled compartment having fluid storage and high pressure gas components, and an opening defined 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, the at least one high pressure tank mounted in a horizontal orientation with a first end in the first walled compartment and a second end in the second walled compartment, wherein the tank includes a nozzle that extends through the opening into the second walled compartment, wherein the opening is sealed around the tank to isolate the first walled compartment from the second walled compartment, and wherein the plurality of fire suppression control systems are mounted in the first walled compartment above the at least one high pressure tank.
