Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour extinction de foyer d'incendie dans un espace confiné selon un procédé connu de projection d'un fluide d'inertage dont le plus courant est l'annidride carbonique liquéfié contenu dans un réservoir. The present invention relates to a device for extinguishing a fire in a confined space according to a known method of spraying an inerting fluid, the most common of which is the liquefied carbon dioxide contained in a tank.
Le fluide est libére par une vanne et conduit dans le volute par une tuyauterie dont l'extrémité est reliée à une ou plusieurs buses de diffusion.The fluid is released by a valve and led into the volute by a pipe whose end is connected to one or more diffusion nozzles.
Cette action a un double effet. D'une part, elle réduit le taux d'oxygène de l'air à une valeur inférieure au seuil de combustion. This action has a double effect. On the one hand, it reduces the oxygen level in the air to a value below the combustion threshold.
D'autre part, la détente au niveau des buses de projection abaisse la température du foyer.On the other hand, the expansion at the level of the projection nozzles lowers the temperature of the hearth.
Cette dernière action favorise l'extinction et réduit le risque de reprise de la combustion.This last action promotes extinction and reduces the risk of resumption of combustion.
Ce procédé nécessite une première phase de noyage rapide de l'enceinte suivie d'une phase de maintient de la conception ou pas, pendant une durée déterminée par l'expérience et en fonction de la nature du foyer.This process requires a first rapid flooding phase of the enclosure followed by a phase of maintaining the design or not, for a period determined by experience and depending on the nature of the hearth.
Afin d'obtenir une diffusion optimale de l'agent neutralisant, la projection s'effectue de préférence sur plusieurs buses réparties dans le volume. In order to obtain optimal diffusion of the neutralizing agent, the spraying is preferably carried out on several nozzles distributed in the volume.
Les ajutages de sortie des buses doivent être soigneusement définis selon des critères précis afin que la détente ne produise pas une obturation des orifices de sortie par givrage.The nozzle outlet nozzles must be carefully defined according to precise criteria so that the expansion does not cause the outlet ports to be blocked by icing.
Ce résultat peut aussi être obtenu par des écrans en matière poreuse ou des mousses métalliques qui réduisent la vitesse de projection.This result can also be obtained by screens made of porous material or metallic foams which reduce the speed of projection.
Ces moyens ne sont efficaces que sur une plage limitée en vitesse, durée de projection et phase du fluide, lequel passe progressivement de l'état liquide à l'état gazeux au fur et à mesure de la vidange du réservoir. These means are only effective over a limited range in speed, duration of projection and phase of the fluid, which gradually changes from the liquid state to the gaseous state as the tank is emptied.
Le dispositif, selon l'invention permet d'améliorer les caractéristiques de diffusion, tout en supprimant les risques de givrage. The device according to the invention makes it possible to improve the diffusion characteristics, while eliminating the risks of icing.
I1 est caractérisé en ce que le moyen de projection est constitué d'une turbine à flux axial ou tangentiel, disposé à l'extrémité du conduit de distribution du fluide, la rotation de ladite turbine induite par le passage du fluide produit un ralentissement et une diffusion turbulente du flux, au niveau de l'orifice de sortie. Cet effet est obtenu pour tous les états de la projection liquide, gazeux ou biphasique. Par ailleurs, le dispositif selon l'invention réalise un ralentissement dynamique du fluide, lequel a pour effet la réduction du risque de givrage sans nécessiter d'usinages critiques des ajutages. I1 is characterized in that the projection means consists of a turbine with axial or tangential flow, disposed at the end of the fluid distribution duct, the rotation of said turbine induced by the passage of the fluid produces a slowdown and a turbulent diffusion of the flow, at the outlet orifice. This effect is obtained for all states of liquid, gas or biphasic projection. Furthermore, the device according to the invention achieves a dynamic slowdown of the fluid, which has the effect of reducing the risk of icing without requiring critical machining of the nozzles.
Selon une variante, la turbine est couplée mécaniquement à un avertisseur centrifuge, lequel informe du fonctionnement du dispositif, notamment lorsqu'il s'agit d'un équipement automatique. According to a variant, the turbine is mechanically coupled to a centrifugal warning device, which informs of the operation of the device, in particular when it is an automatic equipment.
Cette variante constitue l'application nouvelle d'un dispositif connu d'avertisseur pneumatique. Le dessin annexe illustre l'invention. I1 représente le dispositif qui comprend le réservoir de fluide sous pression (1) la vanne de commande (2) le conduit d'amenée du fluide (3) dans l'enceinte (4) la turbine (5) montée à l'extrémité du conduit (3) laquelle est couplée à l'avertisseur (6).This variant constitutes the new application of a known pneumatic horn device. The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention. I1 represents the device which includes the pressurized fluid reservoir (1) the control valve (2) the fluid supply duct (3) in the enclosure (4) the turbine (5) mounted at the end of the conduit (3) which is coupled to the horn (6).
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la projection et la diffusion des fluides extincteur, dans un volume représentant des risques d'incendie. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the projection and diffusion of extinguishing fluids, in a volume representing fire risks.
