Abstract

Method and device for feeding and homogeneous distribution of gaseous media in the interior of closed technical storage systems with lift technology for conditioning the room air.

Description

The method according to the invention involves devices, processes and measures which ensure that complex system technology of individual, specific special equipment is available as rationally as possible.

The quality requirements for goods in storage in industry and commerce are steadily increasing - especially in the area of electronics manufacturing, pharmacy, medicine, chemistry, etc., storage criteria are sometimes a dominant quality feature.

The relevant, specific requirements include the media: cooling / heating / dehumidification / humidification / air purity / hygiene etc. - each self-sufficient or in combinations.

The problem solutions available from the relevant state of the art are based on the system technology designed for rooms in buildings (e.g. DIN 1946) and can only be used with reservations for technical storage systems with a highly complex internal geometry. A major reservation are the high investment costs, which largely conflict with the intended implementation of this technology. If the waiver is based on this, risks in the quality area are accepted.

With the proposals according to the invention, this problem situation is to be eliminated and made available with high efficiency in terms of price and performance by means of a system technology designed exclusively for technical storage systems. At most, the investment in innovative technology will not conflict with customer acceptance.

Particularly noteworthy here is the proposal according to the invention “Reduction of the use of materials for special equipment” through advantageous, uncompromising combination with static components and components of the bearing system construction, under the stipulation “confirmed in practice” without compromise!

The system technology available in such a combination is relevant for the use of all media based on a recirculating air principle, equally suitable for extinguishing agent flooding in fire protection - if necessary in conjunction with additional measures in this regard.

Previously known from the relevant prior art (patent application DE 10 2014 007 317.3 ) is the use of storage system functions ("air flows through lift operation"). In this regard, "dynamic" storage system functions in the active network with the available "static" optimizations result in a previously unavailable positive starting point with regard to the conditions of the system unit.

FUNCTION

The use of the steel structure of storage systems with lift technology ( 1 .0 -8.0) for functions of room air conditioning as well as extinguishing gas flooding in the event of fire is an essential feature of this proposal to reduce the manufacturing costs without loss of quality. The option of predeterminable (variable) time of investment supplements the advantages without alternative!

At the center of this alternative use of gaseous media to fulfill the functions assigned to them are the steel supports ( 3rd ) of the storage system construction. In conjunction with another, modified component of the storage system, this constellation replaces the nozzle pipes or nozzle channels conventionally used for this, with the claim of at least equivalent quality with lower investment costs.

In detail: at least four vertical, the statically dominant steel supports ( 3rd ), which are positioned at the edges of the storage system, are supplied with conditioned air or extinguishing gas for the respective “second function” ( 3rd ) for the production of targeted distribution up to optimal homogeneity in the entire storage area (1 + 2) and used as intended.

• - Der innere Freiraum der rechteckigen vertikalen Stahlstützen (3) wird als Luft/Gas-Kanal eingesetzt
• - Die Stahlstützen sind formschlüssig und gasdicht mit der Trennwand (8) zum angrenzenden

The prerequisites for this are already in place and are being complied with in principle in the simplest possible form (component - automatic prefabrication).

• - The inner free space of the rectangular vertical steel supports ( 3rd ) is used as an air / gas duct
• - The steel supports are form-fitting and gas-tight with the partition ( 8th ) to the adjacent one

• - Die zum Lagersystem gerichtete Längsseite der Stahlstützen (3) besitzt konstruktiv bedingt einen Längsschlitz (statische Funktion) von oben bis unten.
• - Die Trennwand (8) zum Lagerbereich (1) erhält Bohrungen (9) in vertikaler Reihe deckungsgleich zum Mittelpunkt des Längsschlitzes (10). Der Querschnitt der Bohrungen konform den Anforderungen sowie den Vorgaben der Konstrukteure.
• - Die Abstände zwischen den Bohrungen sind auf die Mindestabmessungen der variablen Lagerkammer bemessen (9) - bezogen auf den niedrigsten Höhenabstand.

Storage area ( 1 ) connected.

• - The long side of the steel supports facing the storage system ( 3rd ) has a longitudinal slot (static function) from top to bottom for design reasons.
• - the partition ( 8th ) to the storage area ( 1 ) receives holes ( 9 ) in a vertical row congruent to the center of the longitudinal slot ( 10th ). The cross section of the holes conforms to the requirements and specifications of the designers.
• - The distances between the bores are based on the minimum dimensions of the variable storage chamber ( 9 ) - related to the lowest height distance.

SIGNIFICANT:

1. 1. Der Investitionsaufwand reduziert sich auf die Maßnahme „maschinell hergestellte, kreisförmige Ausnehmungen in Blechformteilen (weitgehend kostenneutral).
2. 2. Ergänzende Vorzüge, u.a. Investitionsschwerpunkte, d.h. Die Investitionsentscheidung des Endkunden über:
   • o Raumluftkonditionierung und/oder
   • o Brandschutz kann zu jedem beliebigen Zeitpunkt getroffen werden
   • o im Verbund mit der Lagersystem-Aufstellung (Erstausstattung
   • o zu jedem beliebigen späteren Zeitpunkt
   • o bei Notwendigkeiten entsprechend aktueller Erkenntnisse extern/intern

The practical use of the proposed basic technical equipment for storage systems in accordance with this IP right process can become "formality" - at least after submitting a price comparison with all current and future available alternatives - the following facts:

1. 1. The investment is reduced to the measure “machine-made circular recesses in sheet metal parts (largely cost-neutral).
2. 2. Additional benefits, including investment focus, ie the end customer's investment decision about:
   • o air conditioning and / or
   • o Fire protection can be taken at any time
   • o in conjunction with the storage system setup (initial equipment
   • o at any later time
   • o If necessary, according to current knowledge external / internal

The effort for such "DELAY" differs only slightly from that for original equipment if the proposed storage system functions are carried out. All in all, a potentially sales-increasing option, which is not available as an alternative, for the benefit of those involved.
