Abstract
A system of operating a plurality of fire extinguishing units. The system comprises a plurality of valve control units each set to activate one of the plurality of fire extinguishing units when triggered and to trigger the activation of another of the plurality of fire extinguishing units by another of the plurality of valve control units substantially simultaneously and an actuating element which triggers one of the plurality of valve control units.
Claims22
A system of operating a plurality of fire extinguishing units, comprising:
- a plurality of valve control units each set to activate one of the plurality of fire extinguishing units when triggered and to trigger the activation of another of the plurality of fire extinguishing units by another of said plurality of valve control units substantially simultaneously;
- and
- an actuating element which triggers one of said plurality of valve control units.
A system of operating a plurality of fire extinguishing units, comprising:
- a plurality of valve control units each performs an activation of one of the plurality of fire extinguishing units when being triggered;
- and
- at least one mechanical linkage each connecting between two of said plurality of valve control units;
- wherein each of a group of said plurality of valve control units is set to trigger another of said plurality of valve control units by driving one of said at least one mechanical linkage simultaneously with said activation.
A valve control unit of controlling a fire extinguishing unit, comprising:
- a mechanical linkage which is set to trigger an activation of a first fire extinguishing unit by another valve control unit when being driven;
- and
- a mechanical lever having first and second positions, when said mechanical lever being in said second position it is set to activate a second fire extinguishing unit and to drive said mechanical linkage simultaneously.
A method of operating a plurality of fire extinguishing units, comprising:
- activating a first of the plurality of fire extinguishing units using a mechanical lever;
- and
- driving a mechanical linkage connected to a valve control unit to activate a second of the plurality of fire extinguishing units;
- wherein said activating and driving are performed simultaneously by maneuvering said mechanical lever.
A method of setting a fire suppression system having a plurality of fire extinguishing units, comprising:
- mounting a plurality of valve control units in a plurality of surfaces in a space;
- setting each said valve control to activate one of the plurality of fire extinguishing units in response to the triggering thereof;
- establishing a mechanical linkage between each two of said valve control units;
- and
- connecting a first of said valve control units to an actuating element set to trigger one of said valve control unit;
- wherein a triggering of said first valve control unit activates one of said plurality of fire extinguishing units and drives mechanical linkage to trigger all other of said valve control units.
