Abstract
Description
Ölbrände werden im allgemeinen durch Ausblasen mittels Explosionen oder Abschneiden des Ölstromes gelöscht.Oil fires are generally blown out using Explosions or cutting off the oil flow extinguished.
In Kuweit handelt es sich um so viele Brände, daß bei die ser Vorgehensweise Jahre gebraucht würden, um alle Brände zu löschen. Das Vorgehen ist in jedem Fall schwierig und auch nicht ungefährlich.There are so many fires in Kuwait that the This would take years to complete all fires to delete. The procedure is in any case difficult and also not harmless.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren zu finden und die nötigen technischen Hilfsmittel zu be schreiben, die es möglich machen, die Ölbrände in kür zester Zeit, ohne großen Materialaufwand, ohne über mäßige Gefahren und ohne weitere Zerstörung der Bohr anlagen zu stoppen.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method find and the necessary technical aids write that will make the oil fires in short zester time, without much material, without over moderate dangers and without further destruction of the drill stop plants.
Dies geschieht erfindungsgemäß durch Abschneiden des Brandes von der Luftzufuhr. Da es sich in Kuweit um viele, oftmals relativ kleine Quellen, die auf einer relativ glatten Ebene liegen, handelt, ist dieses durch Darüberstülpen einer Glocke oft relativ einfach möglich.This is done according to the invention by cutting off the Fire from the air supply. Since it is in Kuwait many, often relatively small sources based on one lie relatively smooth level, this is through It is often relatively easy to put a bell over it.
Da weder Explosionen angewendet werden müssen, noch das Bohrloch angebohrt und mit Beton ausgegossen werden muß, wird die Förderanlage nicht noch weiter beschädigt.Since neither explosions need to be used, nor that Drill hole must be drilled and poured with concrete, the conveyor system is not further damaged.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand eines Beispieles erläutert.The invention is illustrated below using an example explained.
Das Löschgerät besteht aus einer großen Glocke (5) aus textilem Material (1). Sie wird an ihrem unteren Rand durch einen außenliegenden Ring (3a) aus Formteilen (3) in Form gehalten, um nicht durch die in Richtung der Flammen strömenden Luftmassen zusammengedrückt zu werden. The extinguisher consists of a large bell ( 5 ) made of textile material ( 1 ). It is held in shape at its lower edge by an external ring ( 3 a) made of molded parts ( 3 ) so as not to be compressed by the air masses flowing in the direction of the flames.
Dieser Ring (3a) kann je nach Dimensionierung des Gerätes z. B. aus aufblasbaren Hohlräumen bestehen, die ständig durch einen Kompressor aufgeblasen werden. Er kann aber, wie im vereinfacht dargestellten Beispiel, auch aus den Bauteilen von Baukränen gebildet werden. Diese bieten sich an, weil sie schon vorhanden sind.This ring ( 3 a) can, depending on the dimensions of the device such. B. consist of inflatable cavities that are constantly inflated by a compressor. However, as in the simplified example, it can also be formed from the components of construction cranes. These are useful because they already exist.
Der untere Rand der Glocke hat die Form einer Hutkrempe. Er wird von Formteilen (3), die an den jeweiligen Ecken aufgehängt sind, etwa waagerecht gehalten.The lower edge of the bell is shaped like a hat brim. It is held approximately horizontally by molded parts ( 3 ) which are suspended at the respective corners.
Er hängt leicht durch und paßt sich so Bodenunebenheiten an. Durch den darunter entstehenden Luftzug (= Unterdruck) wird er gegen den Untergrund gepreßt.It sags easily and adjusts to uneven floors at. Due to the resulting draft (= negative pressure) it is pressed against the surface.
Er ist auch mit Schaumerzeugern ausgerüstet. Der Schaum kann, wenn der Untergrund zu uneben für eine Abdichtung durch den unteren Rand ist, beliebig beschaffenes Gelände abdichten.It is also equipped with foam generators. The foam can if the surface is too uneven for waterproofing through the lower edge is any terrain seal.
Der obere Rand der Glocke (5) wird von einem innenlie genden Kreuz (3i) aus Formteilen (3) in Form gebracht. Für deren Beschaffenheit gilt dasselbe wie für den unteren Ring (3a).The upper edge of the bell ( 5 ) is brought into shape by an internal cross ( 3 i) made from molded parts ( 3 ). The same applies to their properties as for the lower ring ( 3 a).
Auch hier werden die Tragarme von Baukränen verwendet.The support arms of construction cranes are also used here.
Die Laufkatzen können nützlich eingesetzt werden, sie können auch z. B. über Zugelemente die Wandungen der Glocke (5) mit dem unteren Rand hochziehen. Dies ist praktisch, um ohne Unterbrechung eine Ölquelle nach der anderen Anfliegen zu können. Die Laufkatzen können dazu auf Benzinbetrieb umgerüstet werden. The trolleys can be used useful, they can also z. B. pull up the walls of the bell ( 5 ) with traction elements with the lower edge. This is convenient in order to be able to fly one oil source at a time without interruption. The trolleys can be converted to run on petrol.
Einfacher, aber zeitaufwendiger ist es, die Glocke (5) auf den Boden zu setzen. Sie fällt dann in sich zusammen, da der untere Rand nur am oberen Rand hängt. Er muß dann für den Weiterflug nur noch in dieser Lage fixiert wer den.It is easier, but more time-consuming, to put the bell ( 5 ) on the floor. It then collapses because the lower edge only hangs on the upper edge. He then only needs to be fixed in this position for the onward flight.
Wenn das pyramidenförmige Dach auch noch eingerollt wird, ist das Löschgerät aerodynamisch fast bedeutungslos.If the pyramid-shaped roof is rolled up, the extinguishing device is aerodynamically almost meaningless.
Beim Aufsetzen des Gerätes auf eine neue Brandstelle kann es sinnvoll sein, das Dach zuerst offen zu lassen. Alleine das Abdichten gegen den waagerechten Luftstrom schwächt die Flammen schon. Wird das Dach erst anschlie ßend geschlossen, ist die aufsteigende Hitze schon ge ringer.When placing the device on a new fire site it may make sense to leave the roof open first. Alone sealing against the horizontal air flow already weakens the flames. Will only connect the roof When closed, the rising heat is already over wrestler.
Um das Löschgerät vor der Hitze zu schützen, wird es im allgemeinen ausreichen, das flexible Material (1) mit Wasser zu tränken oder zu besprühen.To protect the extinguisher from the heat, it will generally suffice to soak or spray the flexible material ( 1 ) with water.
Das Material (1) kann natürlich auch doppelwandig ausge führt und ebenso wie die Formteile (3) von Kühlmittel durchströmt werden.The material ( 1 ) can of course also be double-walled and, like the molded parts ( 3 ), coolant flows through.
