Abstract: A gas-operated valve for use in a fire suppression system, a fire suppression system comprising the gas-operated valve of the invention, and a method for operating the fire suppression system.

Abstract: Aspect and embodiments of the present invention relate to a remote monitoring module for monitoring of parameters of vehicles, plant and other facilities. An aspect of the invention provides control circuitry configured to activate one or more safety protocols, an activation button that is wirelessly connected to the control circuitry, wherein actuation of the activation button causes: i) transmission of an activation signal from the activation button to the control circuitry, and ii) the control circuitry to activate at least one of the one or more safety protocols upon receiving the activation signal.

Abstract: An automatic valve includes a body configured to receive a piston axially therein, the piston being movable within the body between a first axial position in which the piston is configured to seal a valve opening when pneumatic pressure is applied to the piston and a second axial position in which the piston is configured to be withdrawn from the valve opening such that a fire suppression agent can enter the valve body through the valve opening, wherein the piston includes a channel longitudinally therethrough and a check valve positioned within the channel such that fluid can enter the check valve in a first longitudinal direction but not in a second longitudinal direction.
