Abstract
Apparatus 11 for rapid discharge of one or more fire extinguishing agent(s) comprises a sealed container 13 forming an interior volume 15 in communication with a rapidly opening valve assembly 17. The interior volume contains fire extinguishing agent(s), super-pressurised by a gas such as nitrogen. A portion of the nitrogen is dissolved into the fire extinguishing agent(s). When an incident is detected which requires the discharge of the fire extinguishing agent(s) the valve 17 is opened. Opening the valve 17 causes rapid dissolution of the nitrogen from the fire extinguishing agent(s), forming a two-phase mixture (like a foam or mousse) which substantially fills the volume 15 and causing the discharge of fire extinguishing agent(s) from the valve assembly 17. Because the two phase mixture is used to discharge the fire extinguishing agent(s), and this two phase mixture substantially fills the interior volume 15, the fire extinguishing agent(s) will be discharged irrespective of the orientation of the canister 13 and the position of the valve assembly 17.
