Abstract: A method and system for determining fire suppression system characteristics is disclosed. The method includes receiving input information regarding one or more nozzles; receiving input information regarding a fire suppression agent; receiving input information regarding a room to be protected by the fire suppression system; iterating through a plurality of scenarios to determine fire suppression characteristics of each scenario; determining coverage of the room to be protected for each of the plurality of scenarios; and ranking each scenario of the plurality of scenarios based on the fire suppression characteristics.

Abstract: A fire suppressant storage device (20) comprising: a tank (22) having a first port and an interior for storing fire suppressant; and a discharge assembly mounted to the first port. The discharge assembly has a discharge valve (48) and a discharge conduit (50) at least partially within the interior. The discharge conduit has an interior surface (60) and an exterior surface (58). The discharge assembly further comprises a gauge (80) on the discharge conduit.

Abstract: A fire suppression nozzle can include a first fluid channel configured to be in fluid communication with a first fluid having a first flow velocity and a second fluid channel configured to be in fluid communication with a second fluid having a second flow velocity. A mixer can be disposed between the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel such that the mixer is configured to induce streamwise vorticity in at least the first fluid exiting first fluid channel to cause mixing of the first fluid and the second fluid to reduce a flow speed of a mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid.

Abstract: An integrated fire suppression system includes a plurality of fire detection systems. Each of the fire detection systems is individually addressable. A control system is communicatively coupled to each of the fire detection systems. A plurality of building systems is communicatively connected to the control system. The plurality of building systems includes at least one of a fire suppression system, an alarm system, a heating ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system, a building power supply system, and a building security system. The control system is configured to provide a localized response to a fire detection by at least one fire detection system in the plurality of fire detection systems, the localized response being a response in at least one of the plurality of building systems.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for integrating fire-protection systems in building design are provided. Aspects include receiving design data associated with a building. One or more fire-protection protocols are accessed. One or more fire-protection designs for the building are generated based at least in part on the one or more fire-protection protocols and the design data and the one or more fire-protection designs are integrated in to the design data.
