Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insert for at least one filling element for explosive containers with at least one filling or outlet opening according to the first part of claim 1.
  • the expanded metal can also be formed into individual layers in such a way that they can be subsequently introduced through inlet or outlet openings in the container to be secured.
  • individual expanded metal layers e.g. be wound into thin, cylindrical bales or balls.
  • the expanded metal layers Since the explosion-proofing effect of the filler elements is primarily dependent on their ability to dissipate heat from all sides, the expanded metal layers must be wrapped so tightly that the layers in the individual bonds can contact each other. As a result, the wound expanded metal layers each represent an already relatively compact body. Since the individual expanded metal windings must also lie against one another in the interior of the container, those known expanded metal inserts also take up a considerable volume inside the container, which undesirably affects the free filling volume of the container to a great extent.
  • Filling elements to be subsequently introduced into a container opening are also known from US Pat. No. 3,349,953.
  • a disadvantage of these filling elements is that they are each designed as cage-like hollow bodies, which only allow relatively few contact areas when they are in contact with one another. In addition, they are rigid in themselves, so that their maximum expansion inside the container can at most exceed the size of the container opening in one direction.
  • the object of the present invention is primarily to increase the number of contact points between the filled elements with the least possible use of material, in order to thereby achieve the most evenly distributed and narrow heat-dissipating possible with the least possible loss of free container volume To achieve a network with good adaptability to the container interior.
  • the filling elements at least in the interior of the container, should have dimensions which are larger than the container filling opening in more than one direction.
  • the filling elements can e.g. be constructed in a brush-like manner by tufts arranged in tufts and consist of a linear support element to which the louvers are attached in a projecting manner.
  • Such filling elements constructed in a brush-like manner can be introduced through a filling opening even if they have to be compressed briefly during the introduction. This is particularly important when loading gas containers with a narrow opening.
  • the laminated filling elements return to their original shape inside the container; they penetrate each other in their areas close to the surface, but the mutual approximation is limited to the necessary extent. For cubic containers in particular, it is even possible to introduce a single, large brush-like element, taking advantage of its elasticity, which fills the entire container cavity.
  • Filling elements with one or two wires as a supporting part can be produced in such a size that the introduction of only one large element is sufficient to secure a fuel tank, tank vehicle, etc. For the first time, this has the advantage that these large elements can be removed from the tank quickly and easily, which is essential for tank cleaning. In addition, customized, inexpensive problem solutions can be achieved by varying the element sizes.
  • the filling elements according to the invention can be produced from different materials which, on the one hand, ensure rapid heat dissipation or electrostatic dissipation and, on the other hand, give the filling elements a structure which makes it possible to divide the tank contents into small sub-areas with a small loss of usable volume.
  • stainless steel or tinfoil can be used; For better chemical stabilization, these metals can be coated with galvanic layers.
  • plastics such as polyurethane or polysulfones, their conductivity preferably being sufficiently increased by adding graphite.
  • the plastic parts can be manufactured by spray cutting, casting or stamping technology.
  • the filling elements introduced through the filling and outlet opening of the container that remains installed must at least capture the entire free gas volume of the tank, and therefore do not compress significantly under the influence of movements of the tank contents and filling elements above.
  • adjacent filling elements have to touch each other in sufficient numbers along their adjacent areas so that there is no interruption in the heat dissipation or the electrical dissipation and thus reduced explosion safety.
  • the structure of the filling element (1) shown in Fig. 1 corresponds exactly to that of a bottle brush: between two wires (3), which are twisted together, lamellae (2) are attached at intervals or in tufts, which are used as supporting parts for the lamellae ( 2) serving wires (3) diverge radially.
  • the tufts of lamellae (2) can also be arranged on a single wire (3), as shown in FIG. 2. 1 and 2 are introduced as a continuous chain into any laying forms in the containers, the lamella tufts according to FIG. 5 are intended to be inserted individually through the container opening.
  • a continuous web (5) could be formed in a strip and the lamella structure could only be cut into the strip on both sides, so that by twisting this strip or several strips around a wire or two wires, the lamella formation can be done stably on all sides.
  • the shape of the lamellae can diverge within wide limits, the number, size and rigidity of the lamellae each having to be selected such that adjacent filler elements (1) form sufficient contact areas, but on the other hand do not penetrate so far that a Large additional weight due to the filling or the usable tank content is significantly reduced.
  • the shape of the supporting part for the slats (2) does not have to be linear.
  • such lamellas can also be arranged on metal surfaces, which in turn can be cylindrical or spherical (FIG. 8). In this case, however, it is necessary to let lamellae also protrude into the interior of the hollow body formed by the supporting parts, so that rapid heat and electrical dissipation can also take place from the interior of this hollow body.
  • FIG. 7 shows a safety bottle (6), for example filled with alcohol, such as is used for lighting a charcoal grill in the household and which is no longer explosive here by filling the inventive filling elements (1) through the opening.
  • This safety bottle (6) for grilling can of course also be made of plastic.
  • the explosion suppression elements according to the invention are for all types of motor vehicles and their fuel tanks, military vehicles and other usable driven vehicles as well as for all types of aircraft and their fuel tanks as well as for all types of gas tanks, gas bottles for the industrial and chemical sectors as well as for household and Vehicle area ideally suited!
