Abstract
An injection assembly having an injection adapter for injecting pressurized gas in containers is disclosed. The injection adapter comprises a body adapted to be coaxially coupled to an opening of a container. The body comprises a discharge passage adapted to allow a flow of fire suppression agent from the container. Further, the body comprises at least one injecting passage adapted to be in fluid communication with an ullage space of the container. The at least one injecting passage is adapted to supply pressurized gas from a canister to an ullage space within the container.
Claims20
An injection adapter for injecting pressurized gas in containers, the injection adapter comprising:
- a body adapted to be coaxially coupled to an opening of a container, the body comprising:
- a discharge passage adapted to allow a flow of fire suppression agent from the container;
- and
- at least one injecting passage adapted to be in fluid communication with an ullage space of the container,
- wherein the at least one injecting passage is adapted to supply pressurized gas from a canister to an ullage space within the container.
The injection adapter according to claim, wherein the body is adapted to be coupled to at least one check valve having at least one connecting passage adapted to be aligned with the at least one injecting passage of the body to facilitate a fluid communication between the injection adapter and the at least one check valve adapter.
An injection assembly for containers of a fire suppression system, the injection assembly comprising:
- an injection adapter having a body adapted to be coaxially coupled to an opening of a container, the body comprising a discharge passage and at least one injecting passage adapted to be in fluid communication with an ullage space of the container, wherein the discharge passage is adapted to receive a flow of fire suppression agent from the container;
- and
- at least one check valve adapter coupled to the body of the injection adapter, the at least one check valve adapter comprising at least one connecting passage adapted to be aligned with the at least one injecting passage of the body to facilitate a fluid communication between the injection adapter and the at least one check valve adapter,
- wherein the at one connecting passage allows a flow of pressurized gas within the ullage space of the container through the at least one injecting passage of the injection adapter.
The injection assembly according to claim, wherein the at least one connecting passage comprises an inlet and an outlet adapted to be aligned with an injection inlet of the at least one injecting passage.
A fire suppression system comprising:
- at least one canister containing a pressurized gas;
- at least one storage container in fluid communication with the at least one canister and containing a fire suppression agent;
- an injection assembly coupled to an opening of the at least one storage container, the injection assembly comprising an injection adapter having a discharge passage in fluid communication with the at least one storage container and at least one injecting passage in fluid communication with at least one canister and the at least one storage container;
- a discharge valve assembly coaxially coupled to an outlet of the discharge passage and adapted to discharge the fire suppression agent from the at least one storage container;
- and
- a siphon tube having a first end coaxially coupled to an inlet of the discharge passage and a second end positioned within the at least one storage container,
- wherein the discharge passage allows a flow of the fire suppression agent from the siphon tube to the discharge valve assembly, and the at least one injecting passage supplies the pressurized gas from the at least one canister to an ullage space within the at least one storage container.
