  • Patent number: 11841088
    Abstract: A leakage mitigation system to trigger a preventive action against detected leakage from a liquid enclosure, includes a leakage detection device disposed along base of the liquid enclosure. The system includes an absorbent that actuates the leakage detection device from a first state to a second state based on a volume of liquid leaked from the liquid enclosure. The device includes a valve coupled to an inlet pipe of the liquid enclosure and configured to allow flow of liquid through the inlet pipe in an open condition thereof and restrict flow of liquid through the inlet pipe in a closed condition thereof. The system further includes a shut-off actuator coupled to the valve and configured to actuate the valve from the open condition to the closed condition in response to the device being actuated from the first state to the second state.
