ABSTRACT:
A fire suppression system for an enclosed space, such as a cargo hold of an aircraft includes a fire detector, a container for storing a non-combustible, non-reactive gas which will not support combustion, a valve for releasing the non-combustible gas from the container, the valve being actuated by the fire detector, nozzles disposed within the space for distributing the non-combustible gas released from the container in the enclosed space, and an operable gas purging door disposed so to permit the exhausting of air other than the non-combustible gas from the enclosed space. A second container for storing a fire extinguishing mixture including a fire extinguishing agent and a non-combustible, non-reactive gas which will not support combustion is included. The fire extinguishing mixture is introduced into the enclosed space after the air has been expelled from the enclosed space.
