Problems solved by technology

However, this requires the vehicle operator or other personnel to connect an external source of extinguishing agent to the inlet nozzle
[0007] The disadvantage of these systems is that the vehicle driver or other personnel need to physically connect an external source of pressurized suppressant to the inlet nozzle, which is particularly risky if the vehicle catches fire

Embodiment Construction

[0039] refer to figure 1 , is shown for delivering the fire suppressant fluid into the vehicle or machine 50 ( Figure 8 An example of device 10 best shown in ). Apparatus 10 includes a first funnel 12 in fluid communication with delivery conduit 14 . The first hopper 12 is arranged to receive fire suppressant fluid from a first location outside of the vehicle 50 , and the delivery conduit 14 is arranged to extend from the first hopper 12 into the vehicle 50 to deliver the fire suppressant fluid within the vehicle 50 .

[0040] Apparatus 10 includes a first directional flow device 16 positioned to allow fire suppressant fluid to flow in a single direction from first funnel 12 into delivery conduit 14 . In this example, the first directional flow device 16 is provided in the form of a first one-way valve 22 installed between the first funnel 12 and the delivery pipe 14 .

[0041] The delivery conduit 14 includes a delivery section 15 connected to a first one-way valve 22 and...

Abstract

An apparatus (10) for delivering a fire suppressant fluid into a vehicle (50), the apparatus (10) including a first funnel (12) in fluid communication with a delivery pipe (14), the funnel (12) being arranged to receive the fire suppressant fluid from a first location external to the vehicle (50) and the delivery pipe (14) extending from the first funnel (12) into the vehicle (50) so as to deliver the fire suppressant fluid within the vehicle (50).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and methods for extinguishing fires. More specifically, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for delivering fire suppressant fluid into a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Vehicles may include components such as engine components that may become particularly hot during operation. When these parts come into contact with a flammable substance, such as motor oil, the flammable substance can ignite and start a fire within the vehicle. [0003] Fires within vehicles are especially problematic in mining and construction operations and must be extinguished quickly and safely. In particular, mining vehicles often have large diesel motors and turbochargers that are hot enough to ignite oil, fuel lines, or other combustible substances that contact the motor and / or turbocharger. [0004] Accordingly, such mining vehicles are often fitted with fire suppression agent systems. Typically, such system...
