The use of automatic fire detectors to trigger fire extinguishment systems has gone on for many years. Automatic extinguishing systems with practically an unlimited supply of agent suffer from the fact that these systems often continue in operation long after the fire is out, resulting in additional damage. This paper describes how such disadvantage can be avoided, to a large extent, with a modified design for permanently-installed, automatic extinguishing systems which will only discharge extinguishant at the proper time and in the proper amount.
