With the help of the fire detection system is checked continuously or at predetermined times or events, whether in the room air of the enclosed space 10 a fire has broken out. When a fire parameter is detected, the fire characteristic variable sensor 9 sends a corresponding signal to the control device 7.

  • the inerting of the shelter 10 can be carried out according to a total of six different inerting curves.
  • the in the FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrated pressure reducing means 21, 31, 41 may be formed as a pressure reducer having a constant, straight-line pressure reduction characteristic at least over a certain input pressure range, so that - regardless of the input pressure (pressure in the high-pressure manifold 3) - a constant output pressure unit is provided. If the pressure reduction takes place only with a pressure reducer, then the inertization curve assumes a straight course with a certain slope, the slope of the inertization curve can be influenced by varying the amount of oxygen displacing gas flowing through the pressure reducing device 6 per unit time.
  • the pressure reduction devices 22, 32, 42 used in the pressure reduction device 6 are designed as pressure diaphragms, wherein a pressure reduction takes place by a change in cross section by means of a throttle plate with a bore of a specific diameter.
  • the size of the bore is adapted to the inert gas fire extinguishing system according to the intended use.
  • a pressure reduction device in which the pressure reduction takes place with the aid of a pressure diaphragm, has a curved pressure reduction characteristic, which is dependent on the course of the inlet pressure (pressure in the high-pressure manifold 3) and thus pressure peaks, in particular immediately after opening one of the quick-opening valves 11a, 11b , 11c, 12a, 12b.
  • the inerting curve assumes an arcuate development.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically shown embodiments of the inert gas fire extinguishing system 100 according to the invention are shown as a single-area extinguishing systems, of course, the use as a multi-range fire extinguishing system is conceivable.
  • the controller 7 controls the multi-range valves accordingly to connect certain low pressure purge lines to the output of the pressure reducing device 6.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b show in each case the oxygen concentration and the quantitative measured value of a detected with the help of the fire characteristics sensor 9 fire characteristic or the smoke level in the shelter 10, wherein with the aid of an inert gas fire extinguishing system 100 according to the present invention, a multi-stage inerting process is performed.
  • the representations in the FIGS. 3a and 3b It can be seen that until the time t 0 in the shelter 10, an oxygen concentration of about 21 vol .-% is present and thus corresponds to the oxygen concentration of the normal ambient air.
  • the inerting of the protective space 10 begins by continuously supplying an oxygen-displacing gas until the time t 1 of the room atmosphere of the enclosed space 10.
  • the representation in Fig. 3a It can be seen that in the time interval t 0 - t 1, the inerting curve is rectilinear and relatively flat. This curve shape of the inertization curve is possible, for example, by connecting a first of the at least two parallel branches 21, 31, 41 of the pressure reduction device 6 to the high-pressure manifold 3 and the low-pressure extinguishing line 4, in which first parallel branch 21 a pressure reduction device 22 designed as a pressure reducer is provided.
  • the oxygen content in the enclosed space 10 is reduced to a first subsidence level of, for example, 15.9 vol%.
  • a first subsidence level of, for example, 15.9 vol%.
  • the oxygen content is maintained until time t 2 .
  • This is preferably done by continuously measuring the oxygen concentration in the shelter 10 with the help of the oxygen sensor 8, and by introducing oxygen displacing gas or fresh air into the shelter in a controlled manner.
  • the term "maintaining the oxygen concentration at your particular subsidence level” is understood to mean maintaining the oxygen concentration within a certain control range, ie, within a range defined by upper and lower thresholds.
  • the maximum amplitude of the oxygen concentration in this control range is adjustable in advance and is for example 0.1 to 0.4 vol .-%.
  • the smoke level or the quantitative measured value of the fire parameter which is detected continuously or at predefined times by the fire characteristic detector 9, has exceeded a first threshold value (alarm threshold 1) Fig. 3b can be seen.
  • the oxygen content in the shelter is reduced from the original 21 vol% to the first descent level.
  • the first subsidence level corresponds to the one in Fig.
  • FIG. 3a illustrated curve of an oxygen concentration of about 15.9 vol .-%.
  • the timing of the Fig. 3a can be seen, the lowering of the oxygen content to the first lowering level within a relatively long period of time (t 1 - t 0 ), since during the inerting, ie during the lowering of the oxygen content to the first lowering level, already an active fire fighting takes place.
  • the slope of the inerting curve is increased in the illustrated embodiment, for example, by a second parallel branch 31 is switched on in the pressure reduction device 6 in addition to the first parallel branch 21, in which a pressure reduction device 32 is arranged in the form of a pressure reducer.
  • the pressure reducing device 32 of the second parallel branch 31 is preferably designed to deliver a higher outlet pressure, so that the inerting curve is steeper in the lowering to the second lowering level ,
  • Reconfirming the fire alarm at time t 4 causes the oxygen content in the shelter to be lowered further from the second descent level to the full inertization level, this time by introducing as fast as possible a corresponding amount of oxygen displacing gas into the space atmosphere of the shelter.
  • at least two parallel branches 21, 31 are simultaneously opened in the pressure reduction device 6, in order to thus enable the largest possible inert gas throughput through the pressure reduction device 6. Since the pressure reducing devices 22, 32 used for pressure reduction are each designed as pressure reducers, the inerting curve again assumes a rectilinear course when lowering the oxygen content from the second lowering level to the third lowering level (full inerting level), although the gradient of the inerting curve is again is increased.
  • the Vollinertmaschinesmat is preferably set such that it corresponds to an oxygen concentration, which is below the ignition limit of existing materials in the shelter (fire load).
  • the Vollinertmaschinesmat is thus set via two intermediate stages, namely the first and the second lowering level.
  • a different pressure reduction measure is used for each intermediate stage, which is ultimately reflected in the curve of the inerting curve.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b another scenario is presented in which the reduction of the oxygen content from originally 21% by volume to the first subsidence level (for example 15.9% by volume) is carried out according to a rectilinear inertization curve which deliberately has such a low slope that only after a relatively long time, the oxygen content in the shelter is lowered to the first lowering level. Due to the slow introduction of the oxygen-displacing gas into the shelter no special pressure relief measures must be provided. Furthermore, during the lowering of the oxygen content, the fire development or fire extinguishment can be observed very accurately.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic view of another exemplary embodiment of the inert gas fire extinguishing system 100 according to the invention, this time the inert gas fire extinguishing system 100 is designed in the form of a multi-range system, with which a preventive fire protection or fire extinguishing for a total of two shelters 10-1 and 10-2 of one and the same Inertgas mecaniclöschstrom 100 is provided.
  • the available pressure relief and the compressive strength of the space envelope determined the maximum permissible amount of inert gas introduced per unit of time into the protected space. This maximum allowed, per unit of time in the Protected space introduced inert gas ultimately sets the event sequence in the inerting of the shelter, ie the applicable for the room inerting curve.

  • Each high-pressure gas storage 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b can be connected to a high-pressure collecting pipe 3 via a quick-opening valve 11a, 11b, 11c, 12a, 12b which can be activated by a control device 7.
