Fire suppression system

A method of using a fire suppression system, the method comprising:

• maintaining an inert atmosphere in a chamber;
• enclosing a pyrophoric workpiece in the chamber;
• sensing a chamber temperature within the chamber with a temperature sensor;
• sensing a chamber oxygen concentration within the chamber with an oxygen sensor;
• comparing the chamber temperature to a predetermined temperature and comparing the chamber oxygen concentration to a predetermined oxygen concentration;
• dispensing an antipyrophoric material onto the workpiece within the chamber if the chamber temperature meets or exceeds the predetermined temperature or if the chamber oxygen concentration meets or exceeds the predetermined oxygen concentration,
• wherein:
• maintaining the inert atmosphere in the chamber comprises supplying inert gas from a cabinet to the chamber through a gas emitter coupled to the chamber;
• the cabinet comprises a first walled compartment and a second walled compartment;
• the first walled compartment houses a plurality of fire suppression control systems comprising at least one of:
• electrical components coupled with the temperature sensor and the oxygen concentration sensor and the dispenser, and
• controls for at least one of (a) gas solenoids, (b) high pressure tank nozzles, and (c) the gas emitter coupled to the chamber;
• and
• the second walled compartment comprises high pressure gas components and solenoid and actuator systems.
