  • Patent number: 12667744
    Abstract: A method of operating a suppression system includes opening a discharge valve associated with a pressurized vessel containing suppression agent in response to detection of a hazardous condition within an area being monitored, releasing suppression agent into the area being monitored via a discharge nozzle, and detecting that the hazardous condition is no longer present in the area being monitored. The discharge valve is closed by the actuator in response to detecting that the hazardous condition is no longer present in the area being monitored.
