Abstract: A vehicular and marine fire suppression system for detecting and suppressing and quenching fires. The vehicular and marine fire suppression system including a first canister, a second canister and an actuation mechanism. The first canister houses a fire suppressing agent and is in fluid communication with a manifold assembly for providing delivery of the fire suppression agent from the first canister to the area to be protected by the fire suppression system. The second canister contains a pressurizing/agitation agent and is in fluid communication with the first canister via a valved actuator assembly. The second canister includes a threaded neck defining an outlet and a pierceable seal disposed about the outlet. The actuator assembly includes a piercing member for rupturing the pierceable seal of the second canister. The piercing member is in active engagement with a piston carried by a squib.

Abstract: A vehicular and marine fire suppression system (10) for suppressing and quenching fires. The vehicular and marine fire suppression system (10) including a first canister (12), a second canister (20) and an actuating mechanism (26). The first canister (12) includes an inlet (14), an outlet (16) defining a neck (18) and a discharge mechanism (42) received within the neck (18). The first canister (12) houses a fire suppressing agent. The second canister (20) includes an outlet (22) and a seal (24) disposed about the outlet (22). The second canister (20) houses an agitating and pressurizing agent. The actuation mechanism (26) includes an actuating valve stem (36) received within the inlet (14) of the first cylinder (12).
