Abstract
A fire suppression system that includes a non-rigid pouch, a quantity of suppressant, a quantity of gas, and a pressurized gas source. The non-rigid pouch that includes an exterior surface and an interior space. The quantity of suppressant, the quantity of gas, and the pressurized gas source is contained within said interior space. The pressurize gas source is configured to increase the internal pressure of the non-rigid pouch by injecting gas into the interior space. The non-rigid pouch is configured to rupture when the internal pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold pressure.
Claims17
A fire suppression system comprising:
- a non-rigid pouch comprising an exterior surface and an interior space, wherein said non-rigid pouch is configured to fail when exposed to a fire;
- a quantity of suppressant and a quantity of gas within said interior space;
- a pressurized gas source within said interior space, wherein said pressurized gas source is configured to increase the internal pressure of said non-rigid pouch by injecting pressurized gas into said interior space;
- and
- wherein said non-rigid pouch is configured to rupture when said internal pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold pressure.
A fire suppression system comprising:
- a non-rigid pouch comprising an exterior surface and an interior space, wherein said non-rigid pouch is configured to fail when exposed to a fire;
- a quantity of suppressant and a quantity of gas within said interior space;
- and
- a rigid shell configured to receive said non-rigid pouch, said rigid shell comprising a plurality of ribs positioned proximate said exterior surface of said non-rigid pouch, wherein each rib of said plurality of ribs is spaced relative to one another such that portions of said exterior surface remain exposed when said non-rigid pouch is received within said rigid shell.
A fire suppression system comprising:
- an inflatable non-rigid pouch comprising an exterior surface and an interior space, wherein said non-rigid pouch is configured to fail when exposed to a fire;
- a quantity of suppressant and a quantity of gas within said interior space;
- and
- a rupturing feature positioned proximate said exterior surface of said non-rigid pouch, wherein rupturing feature is configured to rupture said inflatable non-rigid pouch when said inflatable non-rigid is inflated.
