Abstract:
A fluid coupling including a first adapter, a second adapter configured to selectively connect with and disconnect from the male adapter, an inner sleeve, a first seal between the first adapter and the inner sleeve, a second seal between the second adapter and the inner sleeve, and at least one thermally-activated seal between two of the first adapter, the second adapter, and the inner sleeve. During normal operation, the at least one thermally-activated seal may be spaced apart from at least one of the two of the first adapter, the second adapter, and the inner sleeve. At or above a predetermined temperature, the thermally-activated seal may be configured to expand to create a seal between the two of the first adapter, the second adapter, and the sleeve.
