Abrégé

A fire-extinguishing kit, system, and method for extinguishing fire in a chamber using pressurized dry fire-extinguishing agent. The system includes a plurality of pipes, each including a plurality of orifices, each orifice having a length L and a width W, such that L>W; a temperature sensor adapted to output signals relating to a temperature in the chamber; a pressurized reservoir containing the pressurized dry fire-extinguishing agent, and a controller associated with the temperature sensor and with the pressurized reservoir. In a monitoring mode, the reservoir is mechanically connected to the pipes, and in a fire-extinguishing mode the reservoir is in fluid communication with the pipes. The controller is adapted to receive an input from the temperature sensor, and, in response, to transition the system to the fire-extinguishing mode and to trigger release of the fire-extinguishing agent from the reservoir, via the pipes and orifices.

Classes IPC  ?

• A62C 3/07 - Prévention, limitation ou extinction des incendies spécialement adaptées pour des objets ou des endroits particuliers dans les véhicules, p. ex. les véhicules routiers
• A62C 35/02 - Matériel installé à demeure avec des réservoirs pour délivrer la substance extinctrice
• A62C 37/40 - Commande des installations de lutte contre l'incendie le signal de déclenchement étant émis par un détecteur distinct de la tuyère par le détecteur et par le déclencheur, p. ex. une soupape, qui se trouvent tous les deux dans la zone de danger avec une liaison électrique entre le détecteur et le déclencheur

A retrofit unit for retrofitting a fire extinguisher, the retrofit unit including a body portion, having a connector for connection to the fire extinguisher, an electronic pressure sensor, connected to the body portion, and adapted to sense pressure within the fire extinguisher, a processor adapted to control operation of the pressure sensor and to receive at least one pressure signal sensed by the electronic pressure sensor, a power source adapted to provide power to the processor and to the electronic pressure sensor. The retrofit unit may be fitted onto a fire extinguisher for measuring pressure therein, instead of, or in addition to, a mechanical pressure gauge.
