  • Fire protection system for an enclosure and method of fire protection for an enclosure
    Patent number: 11738224
    Abstract: A fire protection system and method for an enclosure includes an inert agent supply source configured to discharge an inert agent following a discharge of a primary agent in the enclosure, a gas detector configured to determine a gas concentration level in the enclosure, and a controller connected with the inert agent supply source and the gas detector and configured to regulate the discharge of the inert agent into the enclosure based at least partially upon the gas concentration level.
    Type: Grant

  • AGENT INJECTION, VAPORIZATION, AND DISPERSION CALCULATOR
    Publication number: 20190224514
    Abstract: A method and system for determining fire suppression system characteristics is disclosed. The method includes receiving input information regarding one or more nozzles; receiving input information regarding a fire suppression agent; receiving input information regarding a room to be protected by the fire suppression system; iterating through a plurality of scenarios to determine fire suppression characteristics of each scenario; determining coverage of the room to be protected for each of the plurality of scenarios; and ranking each scenario of the plurality of scenarios based on the fire suppression characteristics.
