Definitions
- the present invention refers to a silenced nozzle for the discharge of extinguishing gases, particularly suitable for application to fire fighting systems that work with a gaseous-type extinguishing fluid.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a silenced nozzle for the discharge of extinguishing gases, particularly suitable for application to fire fighting systems that work with a gaseous-type extinguishing fluid.
- In accordance with current fire regulations, premises at risk for fire must be provided with suitable fire extinguishing systems. Fire extinguishing systems that use a gaseous fluid as the extinguishing fluid are known to the art. By means of dispensing nozzles this gaseous fluid is delivered at high pressure onto the flames to inhibit them.
- The dispensing nozzles of fire extinguishing systems according to the prior art have a serious drawback. These known dispensing nozzles are extremely noisy when a discharge of high-pressure extinguishing gas passes through them.
- During a discharge of gas through the nozzles of the prior art, maximum noise levels around 130-140 dB and mean levels greater than 100 dB are reached.
- The maximum recommended threshold for noise measured in a working environment is 90 dB. In some working environments at risk for fire, such as factories that work with inflammable produces, a discharge of gas from the nozzles of the fire extinguishing system may occur erroneously; as a result all the operators are obliged to abandon the workplace because of the unbearable noise produced by said nozzles.
- The noise that occurs during discharge of gas from the dispensing nozzle is due to various factors, such as the times of discharge of the extinguishing gas, fluctuation of the air during discharge and phenomena of overpressure caused by discharge of gas in the area protected by the fire extinguishing system.
- In accordance with current regulations, the time of discharge into the area protected by the fire extinguishing system must be kept within 10 seconds for chemical gases and within 60 seconds for inert gases. In order to ensure these discharge times, nozzles according to the prior art have a particular shape.
- Figure 5 shows a nozzle according to the prior art which is indicated as a whole with
reference numeral 100. Thenozzle 100 is formed by a single body, of metallic material, substantially cylindrical in shape. Thenozzle 100 has anupper part 101 that continues with a taperingintermediate part 103 that ends in a lowercylindrical part 104 having a smaller diameter than theupper part 101. - In the upper part 101 a
circular hole 102 is provided, disposed axially, for entry of the extinguishing gas. The diameter of thehole 102 is about 30 mm. - The
axial hole 102 then narrows in theintermediate part 103 and takes on a diameter of about 24 mm in thelower part 104. Radialgas outlet holes 105 are formed in the taperingintermediate part 103 and in the lowercylindrical part 104. Theholes 105 have diameters that can range from 2 to 15 mm, preferably being 5 mm, and can be positioned on the lateral surface of the nozzle along an arc of a circumference that ranges from 90° to 360°. As shown in Figure 5, thenozzle 100 has fifteenoutlet holes 105 for the extinguishing gas. - On entering the
hole 102 the extinguishing gas encounters an entry area of 706 mm2. When the gas propagates into theintermediate part 103 and into thelower part 104, it encounters a smaller area with respect to the entry area. The narrowing in section of air encountered by the gas as it propagates into thenozzle 100 causes a pressure increase in the gas and consequently a high noise level during discharge of the gas through theholes 105. - Furthermore, because of the narrowing in its
lower part 104, said known configuration of thenozzle 100 offers a reduced surface for formation of thegas outlet holes 105. This causes a further increase in the pressure of the gas and a decrease in the efficiency of the nozzle. - The object of the invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art, providing a nozzle for discharge of extinguishing gases that produces low noise and in particular is able to maintain the noise level below 90 dB during discharge.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a nozzle for discharge of extinguishing gases that is extremely safe and easy to make.
- These objects are achieved in accordance with the invention with the characteristics listed in appended
independent claims 1 and 12. - Advantageous embodiments of the invention are apparent from the dependent claims.
- The nozzle for discharge of extinguishing gases according to the invention has a metallic body formed by a base and a cover which enclose at least one sintered filter. Said sintered filter has a high filtration field to be able to appreciably attenuate the air fluctuation caused by discharge of the extinguishing gas and thus considerably decrease the noisiness of the nozzle.
- The nozzle according to the invention further provides inside it a gas propagation area that is greater than the gas inlet area, to attenuate the pressure of the gas during discharge.
- The particular structure of the nozzle according to the invention further provides the possibility of having a surface available for formation of the outlet holes for the extinguishing gas that is substantially greater than in nozzles of the prior art. Furthermore, the gas outlet holes can be disposed both on the lower surface and on the upper surface of the nozzle according to the invention.
- Furthermore, part of the lateral surface of the sintered filter, contained between the base and the cover of the nozzle, is left uncovered so as to create a further outlet for the extinguishing gases.

cover 3 consists of acylindrical tang 5 with a diameter of about 83 mm terminating in acircular flange 6 with a diameter of about 100 mm. Anaxial hole 7 is formed in the upper surface of thecylindrical tang 5 for entry of the extinguishing gas. - The
hole 7 has a diameter of about 30 mm which is a standard size for attachment to extinguishing gas dispensers. - An
axial hole 8 for propagation of the gas, having a slightly smaller diameter than the outer diameter of thecylindrical tang 5, is formed in the lower surface of theflange 6. In this manner thehole 8 can continue inside thecylindrical tang 5 and be in communication with thehole 7 which occupies only an upper part of thetang 5. The diameter of thehole 8 is in any case substantially greater than the diameter of thehole 7 for entry of the extinguishing gas. -
Holes 9 are formed in the upper surface of thetang 5 for outlet of the gas. Theholes 9 are disposed circumferentially around thegas inlet hole 7 and communicate with thehole 8 for propagation of the gas. For example, as shown in Figure 2, eightholes 9 can be disposed on a circumference and spaced at 45° to one another. The diameter of each hole can preferably be about 5 mm. - Four through

filters - The
filter assembly 4, comprising the sintered filters 31 and 32 with thebaffle 33 interposed, is housed inside thehole 8 of the cover and the bottom end of thefilter 31 is housed in theseat 20 of the base body. Thus thebolts 11 engage in therespective holes nuts 25 which are screwed to the end of the shank of eachbolt 11 which protrudes downward from thebase body 2. - The height of the
filter assembly 4 is designed so that there is a height of at least 20 mm between thelower surface 6 of the flange and upper surface of thebase body 2, thus the lateral surface of thefilter assembly 4 remains uncovered for a about 20 mm. The height of thebase body 2 and of thecover 3 is designed so that the total height of the assembled nozzle is about 100 mm. - Once assembled, the
nozzle 1 can be mounted on a an extinguishing gas dispenser of a fire extinguishing system. The extinguishing gas leaving the dispenser enters thenozzle 1 through theinlet hole 7, propagates into thehole 8 passing through thefilter assembly 4 and exits upward through the outlet holes 9 in the upper surface of thenozzle 1, downward through the outlet holes 21 in the bottom surface of the nozzle and sideward from the lateral surface of thefilter assembly 4 which remains uncovered. - Contrary to what occurs in nozzles of the prior art, in the
nozzle 1 according to the invention the gas enters theinlet hole 7 which has a sectional area of about 706 mm and is propagated into thehole 8 which has a substantially larger sectional area. This attenuates the pressure of the gas and thus the noise during discharge of gas. - Furthermore, the particular structure of the
nozzle 1 according to the invention provides a larger surface for the formation of gas outlet holes, compared with prior art nozzles. In fact, in the nozzle according to the invention there can be seventeen holes in the lower surface and eight holes in the upper surface, for a total of twenty-five holes. Furthermore, the gas has a further outlet area represented by the lateral surface of thefilter assembly 4 which remains uncovered. - With the aid of Figures 6-8 a second embodiment of a

nozzle 200 comprises abase body 202, acover 203 and afilter assembly 4 substantially identical to that described in the first embodiment. - The
cover 203 comprises a hollowcylindrical body 205 inside which is situated a seat orchamber 208 to contain thefilter assembly 4. The cylindrical body hasrectangular slots 230 communicating with theinner chamber 208. Fourslots 230 are preferably provided so as to form four columns 231 (three visible in Figure 6) that connect the upper part of thecylindrical body 205 to the lower part thereof. Thecylindrical body 205 can be produced by fusion connecting an upper cylinder to a lower cylinder by means of thecolumns 231. - A glass-shaped
mouth 233 that hasseat 234 open toward the outside to receive the gas dispensing line is provided on the upper surface of thecylindrical body 205. Theseat 234 has anaperture 207 communicating with thechamber 208. - A plurality of
axial holes 9 communicating with thechamber 208 is formed in the upper surface of thecylindrical body 205, on the outside with respect to themouth 233. As in the first embodiment theholes 9 can be eight in number. - In the lower part the
cylindrical body 205 has aninner thread 240 destined to engage with a respectiveouter thread 241 provided in thebase body 202. Thebase body 202 is a cylindrical plate that has a plurality ofaxial holes 21, for example seventeen as in the first embodiment. - For assemblin the
nozzle 200, it is sufficient to insert thefilter assembly 4 in thechamber 208 of thecover 203 and screw thebase body 202 into the bottom end of thecover 203. - The gas dispensing line is housed in the
seat 234 of themouth 233, therefore the gas delivered, through theaperture 207 expands in thechamber 208 and the fluctuation of the air is attenuated by thefilters 4. Thus, as in the first embodiment, the extinguishing gas is discharged upward from theholes 9, sideward from theslots 230 and downward from theholes 21. - Various modifications and changes of detail within the reach of a person skilled in the art can be made to the present embodiments of the invention whilst still remaining within the scope of the invention expressed by the appended claims.
