ABSTRACT:
The conventional potable water distribution system (310, 318) or other water supply system conventionally provided in passenger aircraft and other large passenger vehicles such as boats and trains may be modified to provide a convenient source of water under high pressure (300, 302) for fire suppression purposes. A mobile cart (10) that can be conveniently stowed inside the passenger area is provided with a source of foaming agent (132, 134), a mixing nozzle (148), and the required valves and hoses (128, 142, 150). A plurality of pressurized water outlets may be located throughout the passenger area. The cart's water inlet hose (128) is provided with a suitable quick connect/disconnect fitting (130). In order to provide the greatest versatility and effectiveness, the mixing nozzle (148) is provided with a convenient control (168) whereby the operator may choose between a heavy mist of plain water, a relatively dense foam, or a relatively light foam. As a result, it is possible to provide more effective fire suppression than if it were necessary to equip a number of individual fire fighting stations within the cabin. Furthermore, since the cart utilizes an existing supply of water (310), a substantial quantity of water is made available for emergency use at no additional cost or weight penalty.
