Description
~S~5~74 METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR PUTTING OUT FIRES UNrjER
PRESSURE, IN PARTICULAR FIRES OF OIL WELLS.
***
The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for putting out fires under pressure, in particular fires of oil wells and the like.
The main feature of such a system is that of using in combination the extinguishing effect of suitable compositions and the pressure wave directed to the fire so as to dispense istantaneously and homogeneously such compositions on the whole area on fire causing fire to extinguish at once.
Techniques and devices for putting fires out are well known and tested. Generally, difficulties and fai-lures are due to the particular conditions of the sup-porter of the combustion (shape and size, pressure in case of a fluid, a.s.o.) rather than to the inefficiency of the used compositions, which extinguishing features in the specific application field are very good.
Putting out a burning oil well, where the favour-able circumstance of the limited extension of the burning area is made useless by the particular violence of the fire fed by a pressure liquid with high degree of inflam-mability, is particularly complex.
Under such conditions putting out systems using extinguishing compositions do not find any application because unlike "extended" fires, (where it is possible to put out fire "progressively" by a continuous, progressi-ve extinguishment of the flames), in case of burning oil wells it is necessary to extinguish fire at once so that the oil continuously fed from the well does no~ fire any '1 974 longer.
Methods and means known at the present status of art for putting out burning oil wells envisage the following three different categories of operations:
1) blowing up the well with dynamite to put out the fire by the explosion shock wave and removing the latticework damaged by the fire;

The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for putting out fires under pressure, in particular fires of oil wells and the like.

Techniques and devices for putting fires out are well known and tested. Generally, difficulties and fai-lures are due to the particular conditions of the sup-porter of the combustion (shape and size, pressure in case of a fluid, a.s.o.) rather than to the inefficiency of the used compositions, which extinguishing features in the specific application field are very good.
Putting out a burning oil well, where the favour-able circumstance of the limited extension of the burning area is made useless by the particular violence of the fire fed by a pressure liquid with high degree of inflam-mability, is particularly complex.
Under such conditions putting out systems using extinguishing compositions do not find any application because unlike "extended" fires, (where it is possible to put out fire "progressively" by a continuous, progressi-ve extinguishment of the flames), in case of burning oil wells it is necessary to extinguish fire at once so that the oil continuously fed from the well does no~ fire any '1 974 longer.
Methods and means known at the present status of art for putting out burning oil wells envisage the following three different categories of operations:
1) blowing up the well with dynamite to put out the fire by the explosion shock wave and removing the latticework damaged by the fire;
2) boring the soil up to the oil body and pro-viding a new well through which the oil flow is turned so that the geologic pressure at the fire spot is dropped;
3) pumping baryta or similar solid material and water into a side pipeline reaching the bottom of the oil well so that the well is chocked.
Such techniques, however, are expensive from the economical and operational point of view.
Therefore, the present invention seeks to solve the problem of easily and economically putting out fires under pressure avoiding the drawbacks involved by the present methods. The object is attained by releasing at once a predetermined amount of an extinguishing compo-sition or mixture of compositions at a suitable pressure and in such a position as to be effective against the fire.
Unlike the known systems, the present method is based upon the combination of the extinguishing effect of the used compositions and the homogeneous, effective, instant distribution of said compositions over the whole front of the fire because of a shock wave.
This has been achieved according to the invention through the combined use of a composition or a mixture of liquefied compositions having extinguishing and/or inert ~5~974 capability and a container of such compositions having two peculiar operation features:
a) if the container is suitably placed over the fire spot, it can collapse because of the increase of the internal pressure due to the thermal gradient, thus re-leasing simultaneously the contained compositions; and b) the container is able to dispense at once the above mentioned compositions homogeneously and effecti-vely over the whole solid angle covered by the fire.
In practice, both the shape and size of the con-tainer may be varied and fitted to the characteristics of the fire to be put out provided that the cone of diffu-sion formed as a result of the collapse is able to cover the whole front of the fire.
Further features and advantages of this invention will be made apparent from the following detailed de-scription with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating, by way of a non-limitative example, two preferred embodiments. In the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows schematically a section view of a container according to the invention having the form of a cone with a hemispherical bowl;
Fig. 2 shows a section of an alternate container having a spherical form.
With reference to Figure 1, the empty container 4 is formed as a hemisphere 8 having walls of thickness d1 and a conical body 6 of thickness d2 overlapped thereto and provided at the top with a hook means 14.
The thicknesses d1 and d2 are designed as a func-tion of the material of which the container is made so that ~he container collapses under the effect of the in-~'S~9~4 creasing pressure generated by the temperature gradient causing the expansion of the compositions contained therein and it releases at once and at a predetermined pressure the extinguishing mixture which is conveyed to the whole front of the fire.
The container may be formed of any material provi-ded that it is uninflammable. By way of example, contai-ners of aluminum and alloys thereof with copper and bronze have been used in the experimental tests.
The loading of the compositions to be used is car-ried out through common sealing input means 10 and 12 which are usually provided under safety conditions.
All of the extinguishing compositions alone or in combination with one another and with inerts may be used.
The best results have been achieved by the use of compo-sitions having a very low boiling point, i.e. under li-quefied form. Among the latter there are the halogen de-rivatives of methane and ethane, in particular C2F5Cl, CHClF2, CC12F2, CHF3, used alone or in combination with one another, at varying relative proportions and with or without liquid nitrogen which besides the extinguishing characteristic has also a propellant effect causing a more effective diffusion of the used compositions.
Also the effectiveness of liquid nitrogen or other inert gas with high expansion capacity alone or in com-bination with said compositions has been tested.
The putting out method according to the present invention is extremely easy and immediate: after having partially filled the container with the composition or mixture of extinguishing compositions, the sealed con-tainer is placed at a distance from the fire by any known ~`s^~9~
means. As a result of the high thermal gradient the inner pressure of the container is quickly increased, and when the value determined by the characteristics of the mate-rial and by the thickness of the thinner walls is reached, the container collapses and spreads vapours of the contained compositions under pressure onto the fire through the rent sheet. The upper part of the container above the predetermined rent remains integral after the collapse of the container and prevents the vapours from dissipating upwards so that the latter are conveyed down-wards to attack the flames and put fire out.
An alternate embodiment of the device of the in-vention is shown in ~igure 2. In such case the container has a spherical geometry without prejudice to the diffe-rence in the thicknesses dl and d2 of the two hemispheres 8 and 8a, respectively.
The present invention has been illustrated and de-scribed with reference to two preferred embodiments but it should be understood that construction modifications directed to achieve the same results of this invention may be made by those skilled in the art without parting from the scope of the present industrial invention.
