METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SUPPRESSING PYROPHORIC METAL FIRES

A method for suppressing a pyrophoric metal fire may include arranging a suppression system above a containment structure. The suppression system includes a first extinguishing agent. The containment structure is configured to contain and isolate a pyrophoric metal from ambient air. The suppression system is configured to activate upon a leak and ignition of the pyrophoric metal so as to release the first extinguishing agent to suppress the pyrophoric metal fire. 种用于抑制自燃金属火灾的方法，可包括在安全壳结构上方布置抑制系统。抑制系统包括第灭火剂。安全壳结构被配置为容纳自燃金属且隔离自燃金属与环境空气。抑制系统被配置为在自燃金属泄漏和点燃时激活，以便释放第灭火剂以抑制自燃金属火灾。
