Definitions

  • the present invention further relates to a method for operating a proportioning system according to the type set out above and / or an extinguishing or sprinkling system according to the above Art.
  • Fixed extinguishing systems are basically designed so that one central point, for example from the sprinkler control center, from a pipeline network is carried out in which the liquid medium up to the source of the fire reaches, where the liquid medium unfolds its extinguishing effect.
  • the Water is usually used as an extinguishing agent.
  • extinguishing systems can be divided into two groups: in wet extinguishing systems and in dry extinguishing systems.
  • wet The extinguishing agent is already in the extinguishing system before it is triggered the fire extinguishing system in the pipelines; the medium is thus immediately when the extinguishing system is activated at the fire site.
  • dry The pipeline network In the dry The pipeline network, on the other hand, will not be extinguished until it is triggered or operating the fire extinguishing system.
  • the additive is usually used in wet or dry extinguishing systems added to the extinguishing agent at a central point (hereinafter Called “Case A”) or the extinguishing agent in wet extinguishing systems "from mixed in at the front (hereinafter referred to as "Case B”; see also VdS CEA 4001: 2003-01 “Sprinkler systems - planning and installation", appendix M).
  • premix mixture of extinguishing water and additives directly at the trigger point, which is why from in a premix system.
  • the additive is already added in the extinguishing center.
  • the premixed mixture of extinguishing agent and additive is required a significant path and therefore a significant one Time until it reaches the fire site. Until that time, the may be necessary for successful fire fighting, the for the extinguishing system provided increased extinguishing effect compared to that previously Extinguishing agent not reached.
  • Extinguishing agents approved in Germany are also in accordance with the state regulations always biological using fire extinguishers and fire extinguishing agents designed tolerably.
  • the additive is therefore used in premix solutions gradually biodegraded so that the extinguishing effect with the Time wears off.
  • Another aspect relates to environmental protection.
  • the effectiveness drops of the extinguishing agent additive below a certain value is that fill the entire pipeline network with a new premix.
  • the additives generally represent water-polluting substances and the disposal effort accordingly is high.
  • EP 1 029 560 A2 is a mobile device Fire fighting pump unit known either individually or both wet or dry foam and water at the same time Extinguishing media can provide. This pump unit is also designed for only one fire water pipe.
  • a check valve in front of the admixing unit a check valve can be arranged in the extinguishing agent guide a Venturi nozzle used.
  • Venturi or similar known admixing systems are disadvantageous of both outlet and flow pressures as well as back pressures in the suction and pressure side water and additive lines heavily dependent.
  • Venturi principle is available in various technical versions, for example as a suction mixer, as a constant pressure mixer or as a bladder tank mixer (excess pressure on the suction side of the Additive, used among other things in sprinkler systems). Indeed these systems all work on the basis of the injector principle.
  • the length of the suction section of the Venturi admixer is limited Intake quantity depends on the pressure. To the system for sprinkler systems too stabilize, the additive is therefore put under pressure (bladder tank), to make suction easier and to fix the admixing rate.
  • the variant according to the publication DE 37 26 672 A1 is not for one Fire extinguishing system with a variety of sprinkler or sprinkler units suitable, because in this case the extinguishing agent mixture only gets with a time delay to the sprinkler or sprinkler units that are not close to the fire pump.
  • the extinguishing agent additive is also used as an extinguishing agent additive can be called the extinguishing agent only at the moment of commissioning the admixing system or the admixing system according to the invention having extinguishing or sprinkling system added, the additive or additive pump with each of the Sprinkler or sprinkler units with at least one each Extinguishing agent line is connected.
  • the respective sprinkler or sprinkler unit merged and / or united.
  • the extinguishing agent is added or the additive, that is, the additive only as close as possible the fire site added to the pipe network of the extinguishing agent, the is called the sprinkler group.
  • the additive or admixture under pressure as close as possible to the individual sprinkler groups and thus fed into the fire water pipe.
  • the Extinguishing agent additive line already filled with the additive, this Additive only when the admixing system and / or the Extinguishing or sprinkler system is added to the extinguishing agent.
  • the invention is characterized by its simple Structure, their practicality in fire fighting and their good Can be retrofitted into existing extinguishing or sprinkler systems.
  • the Extinguishing agent additive or admixing pump on hydraulic drive.
  • This Extinguishing agent volume flows through the drive.
  • the mechanics in Inside the drive takes advantage of the pressure differences that arise and converts these pressure differences in stroke or rotary movements.
  • the extinguishing agent additive pump with the drive via at least a mechanical clutch for torque transmission connected and promotes the additive from the extinguishing agent additive or storage container into the additive lines and from there indirectly into the extinguishing water volume flow the sprinkler or sprinkler units, for example the Sprinkler.
  • the additive or extinguishing agent additive pump is advantageously as at least one piston pump, because such a pump can overcome the pressure drops in the suction and admixing lines and produce the pressure increase necessary for admixing.
  • additive pump Coupling and piping system
  • components of the admixing system according to the invention Structure and ventilation on.
  • At least three sprinkler or sprinkler units advantageously at least one of the extinguishing agent lines each at least two of the sprinkler or sprinkler units with the Connect extinguishing agent pump. This allows the installation and operation of the extinguishing agent lines minimized the effort involved become.
  • each sprinkler or sprinkler unit preferably no more than one Extinguishing agent additive line assignable.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the present invention exists in that by means of at least one ring line, for example in Form at least one of the extinguishing agent additive container and the extinguishing agent additive lines interconnecting extinguishing agent return, a return of the extinguishing agent additive into the extinguishing agent additive container is guaranteed to prevent flocculation or decomposition of the To prevent the addition of extinguishing agent.
  • Extinguishing agent pump essential to the invention Extinguishing agent additive from the extinguishing agent additive container also over longer periods Sucking out distances constantly, unlike other known ones Extinguishing systems, such as extinguishing systems with venturi bladder tank admixers, in the present invention in a preferred manner pressurized extinguishing agent additive container can be used.
  • the present invention works when used such an extinguishing agent pump depending on the flow rate in the water pipe, but regardless of the pressure in the Wasserieitung.
  • This offers the advantage that the extinguishing agent is added Extinguishing agent mixed regardless of the pressure in the extinguishing agent line can be; on the other hand, venturi or similar known admixing systems of outlet and flow pressures as well as back pressures in the suction and pressure side water and additive lines heavily dependent.
  • the extinguishing agent lines can achieve the minimum admixing rate have at least one control and / or regulating unit.
  • This Control and / or regulating unit can be used as at least one electronic, hydraulic and / or mechanical device to be designed the extinguishing or sprinkler system is adapted.
  • this control and / or regulating unit can be at least a pressure limiter can be designed which, when a limit is exceeded or delivery pressure the extinguishing agent additive via the extinguishing agent additive return leads back into the extinguishing agent additive container.
  • control unit can be used for Example to act as a spring-loaded pressure relief valve the requirements of the sprinkler system is set manually. If necessary, excess additive can be placed in the additive container be returned.
  • Install component components This is usually the installation of at least a sudschiagventii at at least one mixing point, the means in the area before, especially just before, the confluence of the respective Extinguishing agent additive line useful in the respective extinguishing agent line, to prevent the additive from entering the fire water pipe to prevent.
  • a two-stage or multi-stage Non-return system with flushing device can be provided. In any case the execution should be determined on a plant and user-specific basis.
  • This method is based on a decentralized admixture of the Extinguishing agent additive in the extinguishing agent line near the fire, where the admixture is carried in separate pipelines.
  • the method according to the present invention reduces the time until the mixture is made available at the fire site and on the other hand the problems with the pipeline network and the Premix.
  • the procedure is for all liquid extinguishing agent additives as well as for new extinguishing or sprinkler systems as well Suitable for retrofitting existing extinguishing or sprinkler systems.
  • the procedure described is primarily for deleting at least a fire and / or at least one fire, in particular at least a damage fire, and / or for surface cooling by means of a fixed or partially movable extinguishing system or sprinkler system, in particular according to DIN 14011-5: 1980-05, provided (here under a fire understood a so-called "damage fire” that one causes unintended damage and / or its intended Leaves place, whereas a so-called “useful fire” to none Causes damage and / or does not leave its intended location).
  • the invention finally relates to the use at least a proportioning system according to the type set out above and / or at least one extinguishing or sprinkling system according to the type and / or a method according to the above set out in at least one or as at least one stationary or partially movable extinguishing system or sprinkler system, in particular according to DIN 14011-5: 1980-05.
