    Abstract: A water extinguishing system has an extinguishing fluid supply adapted to provide an extinguishing fluid, at least one pump adapted to convey the extinguishing fluid from the extinguishing fluid supply into a supply line to a pipe system of the water extinguishing system, and a control unit adapted to operate the at least one pump in a controllable manner. The control unit is configured to start and to operate the pump for a pump test run on provision of a start signal and to end the pump test run and to stop the pump on provision of a stop signal. The control unit has a signal suppression unit which is adapted to at least temporarily suppress the provision of the stop signal in the event of a fire. The signal suppression unit is configured to be free of executing a computer program. A corresponding method operates a water extinguishing system.

    Abstract: Fire extinguishing system (1) comprising a fire extinguisher (2) provided with a handle (5) configured such that upon activation thereof fire extinguishing substance is discharged through an outlet (4) of the fire extinguisher (2). A safety mechanism (6), which when in a first state, is arranged to prevent manual activation of the handle and when in a second state is arranged to allow manual activation of the handle. A control module (7) comprising a communication unit (8) and an actuator (9), wherein the actuator (9) is connected to the safety mechanism (6), and when the communication unit (8) receives a an activation signal the communication unit (8) is arranged to activate the actuator (9), wherein the actuator (9) causes the safety mechanism (6) to change from its first state into its second state and further causes fire extinguishing substance to discharge through the outlet (4) of the fire extinguisher (2).

    Abstract: A battery pack including fire extinguishing equipment. The fire extinguishing equipment includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and an activation line. The first chamber stores a fire extinguishing chemical agent, the second chamber stores a gas-generating chemical agent, and the activation line extends into the second chamber to be in contact with the gas-generating chemical agent. The second chamber includes a pressure relief opening, and the pressure relief opening is in communication with the first chamber, and is configured to spray the gas in the second chamber to the first chamber. The first chamber includes a discharge opening, and the discharge opening is configured to discharge the fire extinguishing chemical agent in the first chamber after the gas generated after the gas-generating chemical agent is ignited enters the first chamber.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are related to an automated structure and curtilage protection system including a mechanical system hub with at least one of a control center, a pump, a pressure tank, a plurality of controllable valves, and a chemical injector assembly. The system includes a piped network, a plurality of spray nozzles and a remote user control portal. The remote user control portal is structured to calculate a hazard distance by averaging a plurality of known data positioning points of a hazard relative to a structure, categorize the calculated hazard distance into a categorized threat level within a hierarchy of preprogrammed threat levels and actuate the mechanical system hub based on an instruction set corresponding to the categorized threat level within the hierarchy of preprogrammed threat levels.

    Abstract: A wide-area wildfire suppression system uses a network of geographically distributed water sprayers, and includes at least one wind sensor and a fire-suppression controller communicatively coupled to the water sprayers and the at least one wind sensor. The at least one wind sensor detects wind direction and communicates wind-direction information to the fire-suppression controller, which uses the wind-direction information to activate at least one of the water sprayers upwind of an asset or area to be protected. Parameters of the water spray, such as flow rate, droplet size, spray pattern, spray direction, spray elevation, or aeration, can be adapted based on wind direction or wind speed.
