Claim 13:
14. A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a housing defining an air flow path;
one or more fans configured to direct an air flow along the air flow path of the housing;
a heat exchanger disposed within the air flow path and configured to place the air flow in thermal communication with a working fluid directed through the heat exchanger;
a fire suppression system configured to discharge a fire suppression agent into the air flow path; and
a control system comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory comprises instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
operate the one or more fans to direct the air flow along the air flow path at a first speed in response to suspended operation of the fire suppression system; and
operate the one or more fans to direct the air flow along the air flow path at a second speed in response to operation of the fire suppression system to discharge the fire suppression agent into the air flow path, wherein the second speed is greater than the first speed.
