Fire Protection Developments
In 2011, TLX applied for several patents related to new development for fire protection systems.
-
A unique latching solenoid used to operate a pressure valve that released fire suppressant material from a pressurized container. This invention replaced the pyrotechnic device commonly used in fire protection systems.
- The second patent was for a mechanism that detects whether the pressure valve is fully connected to the latching solenoid. This invention allows operators to detect whether the pressure valve is connected properly.
Featured Technology
A fire systems manufacturer needed a solution to replace a pyrotechnic device used to open a Shrader valve on a cylinder of compressed extinguishing medium. The application required a solution with a fast response and a high latching force to replace the pyrotechnic device in use with the system. Read the full case study
