FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM, COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM PROVIDING COMPUTER-READABLE PROGRAM CODE SO COMPOSED AS TO PERFORM FIRE SUPPRESSION METHOD, AND FIRE SUPPRESSION METHOD

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fire suppression system which controls temperature in the suppression area and suppresses flames using an inert gas. PSOLUTION: A fire suppression system is disclosed that includes a suppressant source system configured to hold fire suppressant. In one example, the fire suppressant is an inert gas. A temperature sensor is arranged in a suppression area and is configured to detect an undesired temperature or temperature increase in the suppression area. A flame suppression system is in communication with the temperature sensor and in fluid communication with the suppressant source system. The flame suppression system is configured to selectively release the fire suppressant to the suppression area at initial and subsequent rates. The initial rate is greater than the subsequent rate. The subsequent rate is set so as to discharge a gas in the suppression area from the suppression area through the leakage system in response to the undesired temperature. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
