AUTOMOTIVE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM WITH BINARY FIRE SUPPRESSION AGENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An onboard fire suppression system for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- a primary reservoir structured for mounting to a vehicle;
a propellant, operatively associated with the primary reservoir, for expelling fire suppressant agent from the reservoir;
a primary component of a binary fire suppression agent, with said primary component being contained within said primary reservoir; and
a distribution system for receiving the primary component expelled from said primary reservoir and for distributing the primary component in at least one location about a vehicle, with said distribution system comprising;
at least one feeder conduit attached to said primary reservoir;
a plurality of nozzles connected with said feeder conduit; and
a secondary component of said binary fire suppression agent, with said secondary component being contained within a secondary reservoir fluidically connected with said at least one feeder conduit such that passage of said primary component through said feeder conduit will cause said secondary component to be released such that said primary component and said secondary component are combined before being discharged from said plurality of nozzles.

Abstract
An onboard fire suppression system for an automotive vehicle includes a reservoir structured for mounting to a vehicle. A primary component of a binary fire suppression agent is contained within the reservoir. A secondary component of the binary fire suppression agent is contained within a secondary reservoir or component delivery system which is activated by a flow of the primary component such that the primary component and the secondary component will be combined before being discharged from a series of nozzles.
