Publication number: 20230277884Abstract: A fire protection system includes at least one gas detector, at least one sprinkler, and one or more processors. The at least one gas detector detects a gas outputted by at least one energy storage device and outputs a detection signal responsive to detecting the gas. The at least one sprinkler outputs fluid on the at least one energy storage device responsive to be set to an open state. The one or more processors receive the detection signal, determine that a fire condition is present responsive to the detection signal, and control operation of the at least one sprinkler responsive to determining the fire condition to be present.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2021Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Tyco Fire Products LPInventors: Zachary L.

Patent number: 11577109Abstract: A system to mitigate false trips of a valve that supplies water to a piping system in a fire suppression system includes at least one edge device, a control circuit, and at least one user device. The at least one edge device monitors a parameter corresponding to at least one of a corrosion, a presence of water, a differential pressure across the valve, and a temperature in the piping system of the fire suppression system. The control circuit includes one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the control circuit to receive an indication of the parameter monitored by the at least one edge device, predict whether a valve tripping event is expected to occur based on the received indication, and in response to predicting that the valve tripping event is expected to occur, provide the prediction that the valve tripping event can occur for remedial action. The at least one user device presents display data regarding the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Tyco Fire Products LPInventors: Chad A.
