Fire suppression system and solid propellant aerosol generator for use therein
First Claim
1. A solid propellant container for exhausting a fire suppressant aerosol, said container comprising:
- a housing having at least one open side and including an orifice for exhausting said fire suppressant aerosol;
a solid propellant disposed inside of said housing;
at least one cover mounted to said housing to seal correspondingly said at least one open side thereof;
an ignition material coupled to said solid propellant for igniting said solid propellant to produce said fire suppressant aerosol; and
at least one baffle disposed integral to said housing to capture non-usable effluent.

Abstract
A fire suppression system for a substantially enclosed area comprises: a plurality of solid propellant aerosol generators disposed about the enclosed area for exhausting a fire suppressant aerosol that is substantially void of an ozone depleting material into the enclosed area. Each aerosol generator including an ignition element for igniting the solid propellant thereof. Each ignition element of the aerosol generators being coupled to a fire control unit which is operative to ignite the solid propellant of at least one aerosol generator utilizing the ignition element thereof to exhaust fire suppressant aerosol into the enclosed area. Each aerosol generator preferably includes a container which comprises: a housing including an orifice for exhausting the fire suppressant aerosol; a solid propellant disposed inside of the housing; at least one cover mounted to the housing to seal correspondingly at least one open side thereof; an ignition material coupled to the solid propellant for igniting the solid propellant to produce the fire suppressant aerosol; and at least one baffle disposed integral to the housing to capture non-usable effluent.
