Abstract
A system for suppressing a wind turbine fire using an admixture of hydrated super absorbent polymer having properties for suppressing and extinguishing of a fire. The admixture is non conductive and, upon drying, leaves a non-conductive residual that can be vacuumed from the wind turbine components to allow salvaging of the wind turbine components. The admixture is maintained within a pressurized storage vessel having a solenoid that is released by temperature sensor applying the admixture through strategically positioned nozzles to the control cabinets, generator, gearbox and bearings for extinguishment of any associated fire. Since the admixture of super absorbent polymer and water entraps the particulates and noxious and/or toxic gasses, the clean-up is substantially easier and quicker than the clean up from other methods of fire suppression and extinguishing.
