Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for combating a fire event.
- the invention further relates to a system for executing this method and a control unit for combating a fire event.
- the amount of extinguishing agent is calculated and provided, and the selection and arrangement of the nozzles is selected so that it is highly likely that the fire will be contained or prevented from spreading until the fire department arrives, or even extinguished.
- a disadvantage of the known methods is, among other things, high water consumption. Large quantities of extinguishing agent must also be kept in stock, since the entire amount of extinguishing agent is usually applied after the extinguishing system has been triggered or after it has been extinguished. This results in systems with high costs in terms of construction and maintenance. So there is a big one Space required for the extinguishing agent storage containers.
- an extinguishing agent having a first extinguishing effect being applied by means of at least one dispensing device in the first extinguishing phase
- an extinguishing agent with a second extinguishing effect is applied to the location PL and / or its surroundings in a demand-controlled manner, the second extinguishing characteristic being different from the first extinguishing effect.
- a fire event is understood to mean that a fire breaks out and exhibits special fire behavior.
- the fire usually arises from a singular event and can remain localized. However, if there is a spatial spread, the fire will go beyond the original place of origin. Often the fire at the original place of origin can be minimized or even extinguished by successfully fighting the fire or using the used fuel. However, it can happen that one or more residual sources of fire remain or develop there.
- a residual fire may exist or develop at the point of origin and / or at another location. Accordingly, the location of the residual fire may no longer correspond to the location where the fire started.
- a fire that has been fought and that continues to exist as a result of the spread of the fire is also referred to below as a residual fire.
- a residual fire can also have the size and location of the fire before the first extinguishing phase of the fire-fighting if the means of fighting the fire were not successful in the first extinguishing phase, so that the second phase is necessary.
- the location of a residual fire is referred to as the location PL.
- the location of a residual fire can thus be very limited locally or encompass a larger area.
- a fire event is detected using a detection unit.
- the detection unit is preferably set up to detect a fire event.
- the detection unit preferably comprises one or more sensor devices which can detect fire event parameters.
- the fire event parameters preferably include fire parameters and / or fire progress parameters and / or localization locations of residual fire sources.

- fire parameters include electromagnetic radiation, in particular in the UV and / or IR wavelength range, heat radiation, aerosols (in particular smoke aerosols), temperatures, gas concentrations, gas compositions and / or changes in the concentration of certain gaseous components of combustion gases, thermal decomposition products, toxic or combustible gases or others that characterize a fire, understood.
- the one or more sensor devices are preferably arranged in one or more housings.
- the one or more sensor devices are arranged in fire detectors, such as flame detectors, heat detectors, smoke detectors, gas detectors, multisensor detectors or cameras.
- the detection unit is preferably set up to record the fire event, monitor the fire event, record the fire event parameters and preferably also the location PL of the Rest exposed to fire. Detection of the location PL is preferably understood to mean the determination of the position and the area AR of the residual fire source.
- the surface can be a horizontal, vertical and / or generally angularly arranged surface in space.
- the three-dimensional extent of the residual fire source is preferably detected or determined as the location PL. This is advantageous, for example, for water mist extinguishing systems or water mist extinguishing devices, since here the spatial extent of the extinguishing agent must also be taken into account when it is applied to the object to be protected.
- a first extinguishing phase is started in a next method step.
- the extinguishing agent of the first extinguishing phase has a first extinguishing effect.
- the extinguishing agent and the extinguishing effect are preferably selected according to the fire scenario to be expected and the potentially flammable substance.
- the fire event is preferably monitored after the start of the first extinguishing phase, during the first extinguishing phase or after the end of the first extinguishing phase by means of the detection unit or a dedicated second detection unit.
- the fire event parameters in particular fire parameters and / or fire course variables, are preferably detected by the detection unit.
- the location PL of at least one remaining fire source is also determined by means of the detection unit.
- one or more sensor devices is used to determine the location PL of the at least one remaining fire source
- Detection unit designed as an imaging sensor / imaging sensors, for example as a CCD or CMOS sensor array or in the infrared (IR) wavelength range as an IR array sensor.

- Particularly preferred become IR array sensors with an nxm matrix, for example with a 4 x 4, 4 x 8, 8 x 8 or 16 x 8 pixel arrangement.
- the detection unit comprises one or more fire detectors and / or one or more imaging sensors.
- This solution is based on the knowledge that by knowing the size or intensity and the location of the residual fire source by recording the fire event parameters and by localization, the residual fire / residual fires and the entire fire, compared to the methods from the prior art can be combated most effectively and with minimized amounts of extinguishing agent if the extinguishing agent is applied in the second extinguishing phase as required and the extinguishing agent is limited to the location and / or its, preferably immediate, environment.
- the surroundings are determined as a projection of the surrounding volume of the three-dimensional fire event, here based on the residual fire source, onto a surface and are referred to below as the surroundings Au.

- the application of the extinguishing agent to the location in the second extinguishing phase preferably comprises the application to the total area A ge si, A geS 2, or A geS 3.
- the three-dimensional environment of the residual fire is preferably used by the detection unit and / or the control unit is detected or determined. This is advantageous, for example, for water mist extinguishing systems or water mist extinguishing devices, since here the spatial extent of the extinguishing agent must also be taken into account when it is applied to the object to be protected.
- the selection of the extinguishing agent with a second extinguishing effect in the second extinguishing phase which differs from the first extinguishing effect, enables the fire event, in particular one or more residual fires, to be combated more quickly compared to the methods from the prior art, and this with a reduced amount of extinguishing agent, which is an advantage for a lower level of fire damage.
- the first and second extinguishing properties are determined by the main action of the selected extinguishing agent in connection with one or more application parameters.
