摘要

fire suppression system, and method for controlling release of fire suppression agent in an aircraft fire suppression system. A fire suppression system for a plurality of compartments (17) in an aircraft comprises a plurality of bottles (1a, 1b) containing fire suppression agent, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor in each bottle for measuring data. temperature and pressure of the bottle contents and an addressable bottle valve (2a) in each bottle and a control unit (12). The control unit is configured to analyze temperature and pressure data for each bottle to determine the suitability of the fire suppression agent content to extinguish a fire in a particular aircraft compartment. The control unit is further configured to control bottle valves independently using bottle valve addresses to manage fire suppression agent release.
