Description

"ANTI-POLLUTION AND FIRE FIGHTING WATER RESERVOIR BOX SYSTEM IN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES, AIRCRAFT AND BUILDINGS"

It deals with the present patent application for an unpublished "ANTI-POLLUTION EQUIPMENT AND FIRE FIGHTING WATER RESERVOIR BOX SYSTEM IN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES, AND BUILDINGS", especially a system consisting of a 70% water reservoir to be placed in the way of the exhaust gas that acts as a natural filter and other fire fighting system made possible by a two-compartment water tank, to be positioned on the roof of cars and aircraft to prevent the spread of any fire in the internal and external, also featuring a reservoir containing chemical dust to quell fires in the engine. The system applied in buildings is constituted by a reservoir installed at the highest point of the building, being preferably filled with rainwater, from which pipes to the rooms are derived.

As already mentioned, the anti-pollution system proposed here is usable in automotive vehicles, aircraft, while the fire fighting system can be used in automotive vehicles, aircraft and constructions (vertical and horizontal) for the primary purpose of combating immediate outbreaks of fire, without the need for other related means / devices, such as extinguishers proven ineffective in immediate relief which gives rise to the spread of the fire, whether due to the difficulty in handling at this time of high nervous tension, or even adequate response time to countermeasures is extremely short.

Theoretically fire is a chemical transformation process due to the combustion of various materials. The elements that make up the fire known as the "fire triangle" are fuel, oxidizer, and heat. To extinguish the fire, which can lead to a fire, simply remove one of the above elements. One of the ways to extinguish fire is by cooling with water which consists in reducing the temperature and eliminating heat (water to the point where the fuel no longer generates gases or vapors. There is also chemical extinction in which the molecules of the agent they dissociate by the action of heat and combine with the flammable mixture, forming another non-flammable mixture, while the muffling method consists in preventing oxygen with the fuel which can be made possible by the release of carbon dioxide or foam over the flame. .

In the current state of the art, fire extinguishers are known for the rapid combat of small fires, however they should not be considered as substitutes for the more complete systems (hydrant networks, sprinkler and others) common in buildings. In this sense, extinguishers are the only option for firefighting in vehicles and aircraft, as they do not have a useful area for more complex systems. The efficiency of these devices depends on the speed of response, often too elongated which leads to material and human loss. On the other hand, firing the fire brigade in larger fires takes too much time as there is a whole mobilization and route to the scene of the accident. As a result, the capture of tragic proportions in fires (vehicles, aircraft and buildings) is derived from effective first combat due to the fact that current systems, methods and devices do not meet basic safety assumptions.

Knowing the modern technology and seeking to apply it as efficiently as possible facing the market needs, with the purpose of overcoming the above drawbacks, was that the inventor, after research and observation created "ANTIPOLUENT EQUIPMENT WATER RESERVOIR BOX SYSTEM". AND FOR FIRE FIGHTING IN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES, AIRCRAFT AND BUILDINGS "in question, the anti-pollutant system is made possible for vehicles and aircraft by means of a 70% water reservoir to be installed in the exhaust of the aforementioned means of transport, while whereas the fire fighting system uses a reservoir with two compartments positioned above the roof, whose split constructiveness allows the injection of water into the interior of the land or air vehicle, as well as in a second stage outside, by the release of water contained in the upper compartment of said reservoir. In turn, the focus on the engine focus of automotive vehicles and aircraft is carried out with chemical dust contained in a reservoir located under the hood. The invented firefighting system applied to vertical or horizontal buildings occurs with the capture of rainwater in a reservoir installed at a high point of the building, from which pipes to the floors and / or rooms of the units that will have eventual outbreaks are derived. fires immediately as in automotive vehicles and aircraft.

Basically, the proposed solution to widely commented deficiencies is based on the principle of minimizing response time when a fire outbreak begins. Because it is automatic, instantaneous, and timely, it avoids the evolution to major routine tragedies reported by the media, such as arson, organized crime faction, in public transport vehicles where users risk losing life for the most varied reasons: asphyxiation, carbonization, panic, etc. This is likely to occur in both automotive vehicles, aircraft and buildings (residential, commercial and industrial). In a building, for example, the fire, by the claimed system, can be instantly fought on the floor with the focus, preventing its spread to neighboring areas. Similarly in automotive vehicles and aircraft the outbreaks of fires are fought internally and externally immediately.

Also new is the lining of the fuel tank internally and externally with asbestos blanket or similar product.

In short, the new system has the most important advantages:

> Environmentally friendly - avoids the emission of pollutant gases characteristic of fires and exhaust gases;

> Speed and efficiency in combating fire outbreaks, preventing their spread;

> Safety - saves people's lives by reversing the bleak picture of carbonization, asphyxiation or panic deaths;

> Minimization of suffering due to injuries and burns;

> Heritage protection - automotive vehicles, aircraft and buildings;

> Reduces personal and government overhead - hospitals, transportation, insurance, etc.

The "ANTI-POLLUTION AND FIRE FIGHTING WATER RESERVOIR CASE SYSTEM IN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES, BUILDINGS", which is the subject of this patent application for Invention, consists essentially of an anti-pollutant system to be applied to automotive exhaust (E) aircraft, as well as a fire-fighting system equally applicable to vehicles, aircraft and buildings consisting of a separate two-volume (1A and 1B) water tank (1A and 1B) positioned on the roof (T) water inside and outside the vehicle or aircraft, while a chemical dust reservoir (7) protects the inside of the hood from potential fire outbreaks. The system also applies to buildings, where a raised reservoir (8) captures rainwater and distributes it by piping (10) to the floors or rooms of the building.

More particularly, the antipollutant system applied to the exhaust (E) consists of a water reservoir (R) of about 70% by volume, which meets tests parameterized by the junction of water with gas expansion, thereby creating a natural barrier that prevents most pollutants from escaping into the atmosphere. Such reservoir (R) should preferably be made of transparent material in order to allow the visualization of the water level, as well as the need to change it. In this sense, wastewater may be used for various purposes, such as soap making. Finally, this reservoir (R) should have a water supply hole (O) (A) and a drainage drain (D).

In turn, when the system is applied to a motor vehicle, it consists of installing a water reservoir (1) on its roof, a reservoir (1) divided into two compartments (1A and 1B) of equivalent volumes, where the Upper compartment (1A) has a spring mechanism (2) which when actuated releases this part and expels water contained thereon on the bodywork and / or outside of the vehicle, while water contained in lower compartment (1B) is routed. through pipes (3), positioned between the ceiling (F) and the inner surface of the roof (T), for the entire interior of the car, eliminating any outbreak of fire. The pipes (3) have equanimously distributed holes associated with valves. At first, when the system is started, it launches water jets inside the vehicle, in a second step activating the springs and pouring water externally. The above-mentioned reservoir (1) must be supported by a recess (4) in the ceiling, which enables a perfect fit and fixation, in which about 80% of the height of the lower compartment (1B) remains embedded in said recess (4) , with the remaining 20% from the bottom and 100% from the upper compartment (1A) being exposed, ie above the recess (4). Both the lower (1B) and upper (1A) compartments are provided with water-filling inlets (5), drains (D), and properly positioned holes (6) to allow vapor to be released. caused by sunlight, thereby maintaining internal pressure at appropriate levels. The material recommended for the manufacture of the reservoir (1) must be one that meets the mechanical needs of the reservoir, being preferably transparent for better visualization of the water level, and allowing the entry of natural light inside the vehicle. As for the shapes, the reservoir (1) may assume several geometries, such as oval, circular and others. The engine part (M) has a system composed of a properly positioned chemical dust reservoir (7), with derivations for the entire hood activated when a fire outbreak caused by sparks or any electromechanical malfunction begins. The activation of the claimed system can be done manually, in this case performed by the driver or automatically by means of sensors. The whole commented concept for automotive vehicles applies to aircraft. Finally, the volume / weight to be supported by the vehicle or aircraft must be that indicated by the engineering calculations.

The system applied to buildings, vertical or horizontal, consists of a water reservoir (8) positioned at a high point, and has a swiveling cap (9) to capture rainwater. From the reservoir (8) pipelines (10) are derived for all floors / rooms of the building, and may optionally place intermediate reservoirs (not shown), interconnecting with main reservoir (8), on each floor. The pipes (10) will traverse and cover the entire roof surface of the building, containing equidistant holes regulated by a pipe placed inside the pipe that will allow the water jets to exit when the system is started. The system can have two phases, the first phase works only within a room and the second one in the whole floor or unit.

A fuel tank protector (11) which is externally and / or internally lined with flame retardant material (12), for example asbestos, which prevents fire followed by explosion due to spark or collision, is still part of the claimed system.
