Kitchen fire suppression aiming systems and methods

A fire suppression system for a kitchen, comprising:

• a tracking system configured to sense a location of a fire in the kitchen;
• an agent cylinder;
• and
• a nozzle in fluid communication with the agent cylinder and movable laterally along a track within a hood to a select position based on the sensing and configured to release fire suppression agent onto the fire, wherein the track includes an X-axis track portion for movement of the nozzle in an X-axis direction and a Y-axis track portion for movement of the nozzle in a Y-axis direction, such that the nozzle is moveable to a desired X, Y coordinate position within the hood.

A fire suppression system for a kitchen, comprising:

• a tracking system configured to sense a location of a fire in the kitchen;
• an agent cylinder stored in a fixed position;
• a nozzle in fluid communication with the agent cylinder through a flexible hose to allow for movement of the nozzle relative to the cylinder, the nozzle movable laterally along a track within a hood to a select position based on the sensing and configured to release fire suppression agent onto the fire;
• wherein the track includes an X-axis portion for movement of the nozzle in an X-axis direction, a Y-axis track portion for movement of the nozzle in a Y-axis direction;
• and
• a swivel joint pivotally attached to the nozzle, wherein the nozzle is further movable rotatably about an axis to a desired circumferential position to the select position by rotating the swivel joint, and the nozzle is movable angularly to vary an angle between the nozzle and the axis to the select position.
