Abstract

Bei einem Verfahren zur Brandbekämpfung in geschlossenen Räumen wird durch die Reaktion von Ammoniak mit Umgebungsluft ein aus Stickstoff und Wasserdampf bestehendes Löschgasgemisch erzeugt, das dem Brandherd zugeführt wird. Die Löschgaserzeugung erfolgt in einer Vorrichtung, deren Aufbau im wesentlichen demjenigen einer Kleingasturbine entspricht und bei der als Brennstoff Ammoniak eingesetzt wird. Durch die zusätzliche Einspritzung von Wasser in die Brennkammer dieser Vorrichtung sowie in eine der Turbine nachgeschalteten Mischkammer wird die Temperatur des so erzeugten Löschgases kontrolliert.

Figure 00000001
In a method for fighting fires in closed rooms, the reaction of ammonia with ambient air produces an extinguishing gas mixture consisting of nitrogen and water vapor which is fed to the source of the fire. The extinguishing gas is generated in a device, the structure of which essentially corresponds to that of a small gas turbine and in which ammonia is used as fuel. The temperature of the extinguishing gas generated in this way is controlled by the additional injection of water into the combustion chamber of this device and into a mixing chamber downstream of the turbine.
