Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Löschung eines innerhalb eines geschlossenen Raumes ausgebrochenen Feuers, vorzugsweise innerhalb der Kabine oder eines Frachtraumes eines Passagierflugzeuges, wobei dem Feuer der zu seiner Aufrechterhaltung erforderliche Sauerstoff durch Einfuhr von Stickstoff in den geschlossenen Raum entzogen und somit das Feuer gelöscht wird, sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for deleting an inside of a closed fire preferably inside the cabin or a cargo hold of a passenger plane, the fire being his Maintaining required oxygen by importing Withdrawn nitrogen in the closed room and thus that Fire is extinguished, as well as a device for carrying it out of the procedure.

Für Verkehrsmittel sind eine Reihe von Feuerlöscheinrichtungen bekannt geworden. Beispielsweise ist in der DE 36 15 415 C2 eine Feuerlöscheinrichtung mit zwei Feuerlöschmittelbehältern für unter Überdruck flüssige Löschmittel zur Erzeugung eines ersten und zweiten Feuerlöscheinsatzes für Frachträume von Verkehrsmitteln, insbesondere von Luftfahrzeugen, beschrieben. Auch ist aus der DE 39 17 205 C1 eine Brandbekämpfungsanlage für Flugzeuge ersichtlich, die aus einer in Flugzeuglängsrichtung verfahrbaren und mit einer Antriebsvorrichtung ausgestatteten Feuerlöscheinheit besteht. There are a number of fire extinguishing devices for transportation known. For example, in DE 36 15 415 C2 a fire extinguishing device with two fire extinguishing agent containers for extinguishing agents that are liquid under excess pressure of a first and second fire-fighting insert for cargo holds of means of transport, in particular of aircraft, described. DE 39 17 205 C1 is also a fire-fighting system for airplanes that can be seen in a Aircraft longitudinal direction movable and with a drive device equipped fire extinguishing unit.

Weiterhin ist bekannt, in der Luftfahrt die Raumflutungsanlagen in Flugzeugen wie zum Beispiel Frachtraumfeuerlöschanlagen mit Halon 1301 zu betreiben. Dieses gilt bei militärischen Anwendungen auch für Flutungsanlagen von Tanks. Hingegen werden in Schiffahrtsanwendungen für Maschinenräume und Kabinen größtenteils Kohlendioxid(CO2)- und Wasser-springler/-Nebelanlagen eingesetzt. Im baulichen Sektor finden vorwiegend Wasserspringler- und Kohlendioxidlöschanlagen Anwendung.It is also known in aviation to operate the room flood systems in airplanes, such as hold fire extinguishing systems with Halon 1301. For military applications, this also applies to tank flooding systems. In contrast, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water sprinkler / fog systems are mostly used in shipping applications for machine rooms and cabins. Water sprinkler and carbon dioxide extinguishing systems are mainly used in the construction sector.

Die Aufgabe wird laut erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren dadurch gelöst, daß nach Detektion eines Feuers die Anfangskonzentration des Inertgases Stickstoff innerhalb des geschlossenen Raumes schlagartig aufgebaut wird, daß durch die Einbringung des Stickstoffes der Sauerstoffgehalt innerhalb des geschlossenen Raumes (Raum-Sauerstoffgehalt) auf eine maximal löschwirksame Sauerstoffkonzentration (Maximalkonzentration) herabgesetzt wird, und daß zur Aufrechterhaltung der maximal löschwirksamen Sauerstoffkonzentration Stickstoff in vorgegebener Menge in den geschlossenen Raum nachgeführt wird.According to the inventive method, the object is thereby achieved solved that after detection of a fire the initial concentration of the inert gas nitrogen within the closed Space is built up suddenly that by the introduction of nitrogen the oxygen content within of the closed room (room oxygen content) to one maximum extinguishing oxygen concentration (maximum concentration) is reduced, and that to maintain the maximum extinguishing oxygen concentration A predetermined amount of nitrogen in the closed room is tracked.

Eine Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens geht dahin, daß der Sauerstoffgehalt innerhalb des geschlossenen Raumes (Raum-Sauerstoffgehalt) auf etwa 12 Volumenprozent herabgesetzt wird.A further development of the method according to the invention is that the oxygen content within the closed Room (room oxygen content) to about 12 volume percent is reduced.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist im Anspruch 3 beschrieben. An inventive device for performing the method is described in claim 3.

  • daß kein Abbau des stratosphärischen Ozons erfolgt und somit das Verfahren umweltfreundlich ist,
  • daß kein Beitrag zum Treibhauseffekt geleistet wird,
  • daß keine Schäden an transportierten Gütern oder Raumausstattungen durch das Verfahren entstehen,

  • that no contribution to the greenhouse effect is made,
  • that the process does not cause any damage to transported goods or room equipment,
  • that the extinguishing agent "nitrogen" is non-toxic to humans and animals in an extinguishing concentration, as a result of which no warning times can be observed and extinguishing the fire and evacuation of people are possible at the same time, and
