Definitions

  • the invention relates to an inerting method for preventing and / or extinguishing fires in a closed space (hereinafter also referred to as "target space") in which a first Grundinert Deutschenspar is set by introducing an oxygen-displacing gas in the target space with reduced compared to natural proportions oxygen content and in which one or more different inerting levels with a further reduced oxygen content are or will be adjusted by further introducing, if necessary, stepwise or in case of fire sudden introduction of an oxygen displacing gas into the target space.
  • the invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method with an oxygen measuring device in the target space and with a source of an oxygen-displacing gas.
  • the normal ambient air consists of 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1% other gases.
  • the nitrogen concentration in the target area further increased and thus reduces the oxygen content. It is known that a extinguishing effect starts when the oxygen content falls below a value of 15% by volume.
  • a further lowering of the oxygen content to the mentioned 12 vol.% Or lower may be required.
  • oxygen-displacing gases usually gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, noble gases and mixtures thereof are used, which are usually stored in special ancillary rooms in steel bottles.
  • gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, noble gases and mixtures thereof are used, which are usually stored in special ancillary rooms in steel bottles.
  • This object is achieved by an inerting process in which in a first step a) in a closed buffer space, which is connected via leads to the target space, by introducing an oxygen-displacing gas, a buffer gas volume is generated whose oxygen content is so low that when mixed the buffer gas volume with the room air in the target space a VollinertmaschinesRIC for an extinguishing operation can be achieved, and passed in a second step b) the buffer gas volume if necessary via the leads in the target area and there with mixing of the room air of the target space and the buffer gas volume for setting one of the first Grundinertmaschinesmillion different intertization levels is used.
  • the present invention is based on the consideration that the storage of the quenching gas, in particular because of the storage under pressure in special containers such as steel bottles, which require due to their weight and safety reasons again special premises, is problematic.
  • special containers such as steel bottles
  • special premises which require due to their weight and safety reasons again special premises.
  • a significant proportion of the premises are already separated for other use from the actually used by human and / or animal premises, the volume but only a small part Building installations such as Air conditioning systems, lighting and cable ducts are filled.
  • This buffer space may be in parts of the premises, e.g. Eisenendekken, raised floors, intermediate walls or adjacent equipment rooms arise, the walls of the buffer space can be fixed partitions or foils.
  • the oxygen content of the buffer space located in the buffer space, which is set in the first step a) of the presented method, is so low that after mixing the buffer gas volume with the room air of the target area, which at a GrundinertmaschinesRIC an oxygen concentration of about 17 vol. %, a full inertization level is set throughout the room which is below an oxygen concentration of 15% by volume for preventing and / or extinguishing fires.
  • Equation (5) thus specifies the necessary height ratio H N / H R between the buffer space and the target space if a specific oxygen concentration K NR as a full inertization level, a basic inertization level K R in the target space and an oxygen concentration K N in the buffer space is specified. Conversely, of course, from a predetermined ratio H N / H R can be concluded that the necessary oxygen concentrations.
  • a particular advantage of the method according to the invention is that a second Grundinertleitersset different from the first Grundinarchie istsmat with reduced oxygen content or the Vollinertmaschinesmul can be set for the erase mode.
  • the method is largely adaptable to the usage conditions of a building. For example, if a building complex is not used or entered by living beings during the night hours, lowering the base inerting level for daytime operation with an oxygen concentration of, for example, 17% by volume to a base inerting level for nighttime operation with an oxygen concentration of, for example, 15 vol.
  • the Vollinertmaschines for the extinguishing operation with an oxygen concentration below 15 vol .-% by supplying a corresponding amount of oxygen displacing gas from the buffer space very quickly a extinguishing effect can be achieved.
  • the second basic inerting level for the night operation as a preventive measure for fire prevention and, if necessary, deletion on weekends or holidays, at or in which a building is not used.
  • a possible fire is prevented in a preferred manner, or - deleted - as a result of a fire detection signal - when the mixing of the room air of the target space and the buffer gas volume is done so that due to the predetermined amount and concentration ratios of oxygen in both rooms, a mean oxygen concentration between 8 vol.% and 17 vol.% in the target room.
  • This can be done so that, initially in daytime operation, a basic inactivation level of e.g. 17 vol .-% is set, which is harmless to living beings present there.
  • a further lowered basic inertization level of e.g. 15 vol.% From which the full inerting level of e.g.
  • 11 Vol .-% is easily achieved by rapid supply of an oxygen-displacing gas from the buffer gas volume in the target area. Preventing the formation of fires by setting the basic daytime inerting level, reducing the oxygen concentration to the night-time base inerting level and, in the event of fire, to the full inerting level below, most of the materials used in the monitored premises are no longer flammable.
  • an oxygen content of the buffer volume of 10 vol .-% or less.
  • This concentration offers sufficient security against possible leakage of the buffer space, can be achieved by a corresponding aggregate and offers the most effective lowering effect of the basic inerting level on the Vollinertmaschinesmul with mixing of buffer gas volume and room air.
  • the buffer gas volume consists of a pure inert gas.
  • an oxygen-displacing gas for maximum reduction of the oxygen content of the air in the target area is available.
  • the buffer gas volume or the buffer gas volumes of buffers of another room or other rooms can be conducted via a supply line into the destination space. It is advantageous in this embodiment that in cases where several rooms of a building are equipped with a buffer, the inert gas from all buffers can be used to extinguish the fire in one of the rooms (target area).
  • the Vollinertmaschinesclude can be adjusted even in the rooms whose associated buffer gas volumes are dimensioned only for setting the respective Grundinertmaschinescludes. This ensures that even in such areas a possible fire can be effectively combated.
  • the object of the present invention is also achieved by a device for carrying out the described method with a closed buffer space which is adjacent to the target space and which is connected to the target space via gas feed lines.
  • a buffer gas volume is generated by introducing an oxygen-displacing gas whose oxygen content is so low that when a mixture of the buffer gas volume with the room air in the target space Vollinertmaschinesforementioned for an extinguishing operation can be achieved.
  • Both the basic inerting of the target area from the buffer space can be controlled via the gas supply lines, as well as a rapid full inertisation of the target area.
  • a buffer space supplies several adjacent destination spaces.
  • a particular flexibility of the device according to the invention is achieved in that as a different from the first Grundinertmaschinesforementioned inerting a second Grundinertmaschinesforementioned with even reduced oxygen content or the Vollinertmaschinesfor the erase mode is adjustable.
  • Such a second basic inerting level which is usually so close to the VollinertmaschinesRIC for the extinguishing operation that preventing fires in a closed room preventive possible, of course, can also be set on weekends or holidays, or in which a building is not used accordingly , Thus, reaching the Vollinertmaschineshous to extinguish fires in case of need by supplying an oxygen displacing gas from a buffer space is reached quickly.
  • the buffer space is formed as a container, in particular as a tank.
  • a container in particular as a tank.
  • the container can be structurally designed so that it can be optimally fitted using it in the available space in false ceilings or partitions.
  • the respective buffer spaces of the rooms of a building are connected to the individual rooms via gas supply lines.
  • the buffer gas volume or the buffer gas volumes of buffers of another room or the other rooms via these leads in be directed to the target area.
  • the prerequisite for this is that several rooms of a building are each equipped with a buffer. It is advantageous in this embodiment that even in those cases in which the respective buffer gas volumes are dimensioned only for setting the Grundinertmaschinescludes for the individual room, the Vollinertmaschinesindi can be achieved in the target area for extinguishing a fire.
  • rooms whose associated buffer gas volumes are dimensioned only for setting the respective Grundinertmaschinesmats connected via flaps or valves with leads to buffer spaces of the other rooms.
  • the supply of a target space can thus be controlled with buffer gas volumes of other buffer spaces and set again when reaching the Vollinertmaschinesmats in the target area. This will u.a. achieved that the deletion of a fire in the target area as quickly and efficiently as possible.

  • control unit also monitors the air quality of the room air via measurement of the CO or CO 2 content and controls the ventilation flaps or the fans for fresh air supply.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that thus no additional device for controlling the air quality of the room air is needed.
  • the signal generator can advantageously be designed so that it outputs a timing signal, a burglar alarm signal or an access control signal. If, for example, a time measuring device is used as the signal generator, an automatic changeover between daytime and postoperative operation can be preprogrammed. This type of default can also be made for days off, for example, for weekends at which usually no people in the monitored premises and the setting of a Grundinertmaschinesmuls below that for the daytime operation to prevent fires makes sense.
  • the signal generator can, however, also be designed as an access control system which, when identifying persons who identify themselves, for example, via a code or a magnetic card, sends a signal to the controller, which then sets an inerting level harmless to living beings. When using a burglar alarm system as a signal generator, however, a switch to Vollinertmaschine would be conceivable when an area is armed after leaving all persons present.
