Definitions

  • the invention relates to igniters, flame generators and other devices for igniting an oxidizer for the combustion of objects. It relates in particular to the field of the dismantling of installations containing pyrotechnic waste to be destroyed. In particular, one thinks of a multitude of explosives in several different forms and states. Unconfined buildings, cassettes, asphalt mixes, pulverulent materials, machining slurries, detonators and explosive-laden waste may be mentioned. Waste contaminated with explosives, objects and materials comes in the form of materials, materials, personal protective equipment, tools, machines, solvents, most of the time contaminated with explosives encountered on the site.
  • a pyrotechnic waste destruction technique currently in use, is to burn this waste in the open air.
  • the smooth running of this burning operation begins with an essential step of initiating a combustion, that is to say causing ignition.
  • pyrotechnic igniters These initiator devices are, by definition, made up of two indispensable elements, which are a resistance and a pyrotechnic mixture, itself composed of a fuel and an oxidant. To form these can be used titanium, zirconium and potassium nitrate and potassium perchlorate.
  • a drop of the pyrotechnic mixture is deposited on the resistor, which is generally made of a thin metal wire and twisted. As soon as an electric current of sufficient intensity, at about 0.6 amperes, flows through the resistor for a given time, about 0.3 ms, the pyrotechnic mixture burns. This allows the start of the combustion of the material and allows the ignition of the oxidizer soaking the material to be destroyed.
  • This type of device is close to certain detonators, however, it differs in the sense that it does not function to produce a shock wave.
  • the flame generated by such means during the ignition of the oxidant, has a duration of only a few seconds.
  • the operation is then delicate, when the weather conditions are unfavorable, for example in the presence of wind and / or rain.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the aforementioned devices, and the problems they pose and lower the cost of such devices.
  • the tube and the disc are made of cardboard.
  • a foam cylinder placed against the disc, outside thereof, is used for the purpose of maintaining the dual electrical cord and the compressed air supply pipe. This allows the sealing of the inside of the tube at the disc. The disc also protects the foam cylinder from thermal radiation.
  • a spacer placed in the open tube, between the piece of steel wool and the disc is advantageous to use.
  • the spacer allows to have reproducibility of manufacture of the igniter.
  • the double cord has two pods in which the ends of the sublimable wire are plugged, the pods being offset relative to each other not to be in contact with each other, once positioned in the piece of wool steel.
  • the igniter according to the invention comprises mainly an open tube 1, inside which is placed a piece of steel wool 9, occupying the entire inner section of the open tube 1. Inside this piece of wool 9 steel, is placed a sublimable wire 8. This sublimable 8 wire is powered in electricity by a double electrical cord 6, which arrives at the piece of steel wool 9 and is equipped with two lugs, not shown in this figure.
  • the sublimable wire 8 may be made of stainless steel, for example Z8 CN 25 20 .
  • the disk 3 is made of cardboard, as is the open tube 10.
  • the disk 3 and the foam cylinder 2 are crossed at their center by a compressed air inlet pipe 4 which activates the combustion of the steel wool 9. It is completed with a nozzle 5 which surrounds it, preferably silicone and placed at the disc 3. This makes it possible not to tear the compressed air inlet pipe 4 of the disc 3.
  • a power cord runs along or passes through the foam cylinder 2 and runs along or through the disk 3.
  • This double power cord 6 has its end positioned on the side of the piece of steel wool 9.
  • the wire 8 is crimped on means of two lugs 7 to this electrical cord 6.
  • the figure 2 lets see this mounted set. It distinguishes the inlet pipe 4, the electric cord 6, the open tube 1 and a radial surface of the piece of steel wool 9.
  • the figure 3 lets you see all these pieces in an exploded way. It has included a lug 7 connecting the electrical cord 6 to the wire 8.
  • the figure 4 shows the connection of the wire 8 to the electrical cord 6, by means of two lugs 7.
  • Each lug 7 is placed at the end of one of the two parts of the double electrical cord 6 and allows one end of the wire 8 to to be fixed. Note that the position of the two lugs 7 is shifted longitudinally, if we bring the two parts of the electrical cord 6. This is intended so that the two lugs 7 are not in contact with each other, once set to the inside of the piece of steel wool 9, the mounting does not necessarily ensure a precise and separate positioning of these two lugs 7. This avoids a risk of short circuit in the igniter.
  • the operating principle of the igniter is as follows. A current of sufficient intensity implodes the wire 8 sublimable. Thus, the piece of steel wool burns. The supply of compressed air through the inlet tube 4 makes it possible to maintain this combustion and the formation of an intense flame for a period of several minutes. Thus, the combustion of the materials inside the open tube 1 continues.
  • the igniter When using, simply connect the igniter to a power supply and a compressed air supply. The igniter is then placed in front of the waste to be destroyed. The opening of a service valve for supplying compressed air is then opened. The wire 8 is then energized. A voltage of 25 volts can be used at an intensity of between 10 and 20 amperes. The pressure of the compressed air to be sent inside the igniter can be of the order of 1 bar. Once these conditions are fulfilled, the firing can then take place.
  • the igniter according to the invention is easy to develop.
  • the mounting principle is as follows.
  • a first phase is to crimp the wire 8 on the two pods 7.
  • the second operation is the establishment of the electrical cord 6 in the piece of steel wool 9, which has been precut.
  • a third operation is to introduce this set into the open tube 1, which is preferably made of cardboard.
  • the following operation consists of placing the open tube 10, which serves as a spacer, inside the open tube 1.
  • the following operation is to prepare the inlet pipe 4 compressed air, equipped with a protective cap and mounted on the disc 3 and the foam disc 2.
  • the last phase is to introduce this set prepared during the previous operation into the end of the open tube 1.
  • the igniter according to the invention makes it possible to improve the temporal conditions of the burning of the waste.
  • the igniter according to the invention is reliable, allows a remote firing and the generation of a flame for several minutes and can withstand the weather during use.
