Abstract

In emergency inerting equipment (1) an area (2) is made inert, which contains an object to be made inert in the event of a malfunction, by means of a liquid gas taken from a liquid gas tank (3) and fed via a gas feed pipe (4) in the form of gas to an area. A detector (6) records any abnormal occurrence in this area. This can be a smoke detector. An Independent claim is also included for the equipment.
