Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9803227A1] The invention concerns a fire-extinguisher system and a valve unit therefor. The object of the invention is to provide a fire-extinguisher system whose reaction time until sparks are extinguished is short. To that end, the extinguisher system has an extinguishant-conveying pipe (14) which leads from an extinguishant reservoir to at least one extinguishing point where it terminates at an extinguishant-discharge nozzle (16). Provided in the region of said nozzle (16) is an extinguishant container (20) from which extinguishant subsequently flows into the pipe (14) when the pressure therein drops. A valve unit according to the invention for an extinguisher system facilitates the arrangement of such an extinguishant container.
