  • FIG. 2 is a preferred evolution of in Fig. 1 shown first embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention.
  • the Fig. 2 shown second embodiment differs from the first embodiment according to Fig. 1
  • the fact that the discharged with the exhaust-discharge device 4 from the permanently inertized space 10 exhaust air is not completely discharged to the outside atmosphere, but at least partially passed through a filter system 15 and then the first supply line 11 via the provided in the first supply line 11 controllable valve V11 again is supplied.
  • inert gas feedback is thus a part of the exhaust air, which is discharged during the regulated air exchange with the exhaust air removal system 4 from the permanently inertized chamber 10, cleaned accordingly in the filter system 15 and then fed again to the permanently inertized space 10 as an inert gas.
  • the toxic or harmful hazardous substances to be removed from the permanently inertized space 10 are to be separated from the exhaust air, so that the thus cleaned exhaust air can then be returned to the space 10 directly in an ideal manner , Since this purified exhaust air has an oxygen content which is identical to the oxygen content in the room air atmosphere of the permanently inertized space 10, in a case where the inert gas feedback is lossless and thus must be regarded as an overall closed feedback loop, and if the permanently inertized space 10 has a completely gas-tight space envelope, from the inert gas source 3 no additional inert gas and the fresh air source 5 no additional fresh air to the cleaned exhaust air are mixed to take care on the one hand the required minimum air exchange and on the other hand to keep the set in the permanently inertized space 10 inerting.
  • a fresh air source 5 and an inert gas source 3 are each controlled by the control unit 2, and their associated gas flow rates V N2 , V L each set either by an effected with the control unit 2 direct control, or by an effected with the control unit 2 control of the corresponding valves V11 and V12 become.
  • a controllable with the control unit 2 three-way valve V4 is provided, via which the proportion of discharged from the dauerinertarraen space 10 exhaust air is adjusted, which is the filter system 15 of the inert gas feedback loop to be supplied, and which is finally reintroduced into the room 10 as purified supply air.
  • the filter system 15 provided in the inert gas feedback loop must be designed to separate the toxic contaminant contained in the portion of the exhaust air fed into the inert gas feedback loop from the exhaust air.
  • an air treatment device 15 which has a Molekülseparationssystem 15 ', in particular a hollow fiber membrane system and / or an activated carbon adsorption system.
  • the air treatment device 15 is further equipped with a compressor 15 "which compresses the portion of the exhaust air fed into the inert gas feedback loop and subsequently supplies it to the molecular separation system 15 '.
  • the compressed exhaust air is split in molecular terms so that the toxic or harmful components (pollutants) of the exhaust air discharged from the permanently inertized space 10 are separated from the exhaust air and discharged to the outside via a first outlet.
  • a second outlet of the molecule separation system 15 ' can be connected to the first supply line system 11 via the valve V11, so that the purified exhaust air can be at least partially supplied to the first supply line system 11 as an inert gas.
  • Fig. 3 a preferred development of the second embodiment is shown. It is provided that - as well as in the first and second embodiment according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 an inert gas generator 3a with a molecular separation system 3a 'is provided as the inert gas source, in particular with a hollow fiber membrane system or an activated carbon adsorption system, wherein a compressed air mixture is supplied to the inert gas generator 3a and the inert gas generator 3a emits a nitrogen-enriched air mixture, and wherein the Inertgasgenerator 3 a discharged and enriched with nitrogen air mixture is fed in a controlled manner to the first supply line system 11 and the permanently inertized space 10 as an inert gas.
  • an inert gas generator 3a with a molecular separation system 3a ' is provided as the inert gas source, in particular with a hollow fiber membrane system or an activated carbon adsorption system, wherein a compressed air mixture is supplied to the inert gas generator 3a and the in
  • an exhaust-removal device 4 is provided, which is designed in a controlled manner, preferably based on the overpressure principle, exhaust air from the dauerinertarraen space 10 dissipate and run the exhausted air at least partially by an air treatment device 15 to this part of the Extract air discharge device 4 to filter out of the room 10 exhaust air. At least part of the filtered exhaust air is then fed to the compressor 3a "of the inert gas source 3.
  • the provided in the inert gas or exhaust air feedback loop air treatment device 15 does not have a in Fig. 2 with the reference numeral 15 "designated compressor and with a in Fig. 2 be designated by the reference numeral 15 'molecular separation system to separate via a suitable gas separation process contained in the proportion of discharged from the permanently inertized space 10 and fed into the inert gas or exhaust air feedback loop toxic or harmful pollutants from the exhaust air.
  • the exhaust air fed into the inert gas generator 3a ', 3a "already has an oxygen content which is essentially identical to the oxygen content of the inert gas source 3 formed as an inert gas generator 3a', 3a"
  • Ambient air atmosphere of the permanently inertized space 10 the molecular separation system 3a 'of the inert gas source 3 is primarily the task of separating the optionally still present in the exhaust air (in particular gaseous) components of the toxic or harmful pollutants, if they are not already in the air treatment device 15th were removed from the exhaust air.
