  • the pressure can be in the range between 8 and 15 bar or between 8 and 30 bar.

  • Another alternative, to avoid freezing of the tank at longer BodenStand legislation is to couple the liquid extinguishing agent tank with the fresh water system, so that the liquid extinguishing agent tank can be emptied together with the fresh water before longer ground life and refilled before flying, thereby freezing at least during longer Floor life can be avoided.

  • the compressed gas cylinder 4 is connected via a first quenching gas line 24 and an intermediate gas throttle with the liquid extinguishing agent tank 2. In this way, the liquid extinguishing agent 3 contained in the liquid extinguishing agent tank 2, in particular in a defined manner, can be pressed out of the liquid extinguishing agent tank 2.

  • the fire protection device 1 further comprises a gas extinguishing system 28 which is functionally coupled to the wetting system 23.
  • the wetting system 23 can introduce the two-phase mixture into the space (s) 11 or the extinguishing volume. Due to the comparatively small amount of extinguishing gas which is added to the liquid extinguishing agent, in particular to avoid icing at least, the concentration of extinguishing gas in the liquid-gas extinguishing by the wetting system 23 is not reached ..

  • the first extinguishing gas line 24 is preceded by a pressure regulator 26, and in the first 24 and second extinguishing gas line 25, throttles 15 are provided downstream of the pressure regulator 26.
  • This arrangement and wiring corresponds to the FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 ,
  • a pressure regulator 26 and / or a gas throttle 15 may optionally be provided in the third extinguishing gas line 29 between compressed gas cylinder 4 and first extinguishing gas line 24 and the gas outlet openings 10. If both elements are present, the gas throttle 15 may be connected upstream of the pressure regulator 26 in the flow direction of the extinguishing gas.
  • FIG. 5 1 shows a schematic structure of an exemplary fourth embodiment of a fire protection device 1 proposed herein.
  • the fire protection device 1 according to the fourth embodiment comprises, like the second and third embodiments, a subunit operating as wetting unit 23 and a subassembly operating as a gas extinguishing system 28.
  • the two subunits correspond in their general function to the second and third embodiments.
  • the two subunits are coupled together in the region of the gas-carrying lines, which will be described in more detail below.

  • the operating as a gas extinguishing system 28 subunit comprises a compressed gas tank 4 for pressurized storage and provision of quenching gas.
  • a compressed gas tank instead of a compressed gas tank and several interconnected compressed gas tanks may be present.
  • the compressed gas tank 4 is followed by a pressure regulator 26, from which on the one hand, the gas outlet openings 10 is fed via an optional throttle valve 15, and on the other hand via a throttle valve 15, the mixing point 17 is fed.
  • the compressed gas tank 4 associated with the gas extinguishing system 28 is connected by different branches to both the gas outlet openings 10 and the mixing point 17, and feeds them during operation with quenching gas.
  • the gas restrictors 15 and, if present, pressure regulators 26 are designed and arranged to achieve the above-described effects of the present invention, i. as such, the liquid extinguishing agent extinguishing gas based extinguishment does not result in the extinguishing concentration for the extinguishing gas being reached under operating range.
  • the gas outlet openings 10 and the mixing point 17 are fed simultaneously with quenching gas. Accordingly, upon activation of the fire protection system 1, in particular already upon activation of the sub-unit operating as wetting system 23, the extinguishing volume, ie the space 11, is treated with extinguishing gas from the gas outlet openings 10 and the 2-phase mixture from the outlet openings 18.
