  • Publication number: 20200147426
    Abstract: A containment system for a hazardous product includes a housing unit for storing the hazardous product. The housing unit includes sensors disposed throughout for detecting a thermal event. The system further includes an active fire suppression system configured to suppress the thermal event based on thermal event information received from the sensors. The system also includes a controller for processing signals from the sensors and activating the active fire suppression system, such as providing fire suppressants locally and/or globally or active venting. The system further includes a passive fire suppression system configured to suppress the thermal event using passive suppression without requiring activation from the controller, such as by coating surfaces of the system or using temperature sensitive venting or suppressant provision. The system may further include a training system to mimic the thermal event.
