Abstract:
1. A fire suppression system, comprising: a high pressure inert gas source configured to provide a first inert gas output, the high pressure inert gas source including a plurality of storage tanks connected to a manifold; a low pressure inert gas source, relative to the high pressure inert gas source, configured to provide a second inert gas output; a distribution network connected with the high and low pressure inert gas sources to distribute the first and second inert gas outputs, wherein the manifold includes a single, exclusive outlet connected with the distribution network; and a controller operatively connected with at least the distribution network to control how the respective first and second inert gas outputs are distributed in response to a fire threat signal, wherein each of the plurality of storage tanks includes a valve in communication with the controller to control pressurized inert gas flow from the respective storage tank into the manifold.
