Abstract

The device has a compartment (3) enclosing an insulator separated at its cold side by a wall (2) of a compartment (1) enclosing a liquid. The liquid compartment (1) communicates with the exterior through a pipe (4) which can be sealed by a stopper (5) which melts at a definite temperature. The heat transmitted by the insulator is absorbed by the evaporation of the liquid. An independent claim is also included for a device for forming a fixed or moveable fire resistant door or fire resistant barrier.

Description

L'invention concerne la protection contre le feu et les hautesThe invention relates to protection against fire and high

températures des coffres-forts, des meubles ou des chambres de stockage de documents et autres espaces sensibles et concerne aussi la fabrication et le montage des portes, cloisons, et murs coupe-feu.  safes, furniture or document storage rooms and other sensitive areas, and also the manufacture and assembly of fire doors, partitions and walls.

L'invention améliore les méthodes de protection existant contre le feu en agrandissant le rapport entre la durée et l'encombrement de la protection. Par exemple, dans l'un des modes de réalisation de l'invention, un module d'une épaisseur de 100 mm peut assurer une tempéraure maximale côté froid de 125 C pour une température côté chaud de 1000 C pendant 15 heures.  The invention improves existing methods of protection against fire by increasing the ratio between the duration and the size of the protection. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, a module with a thickness of 100 mm can ensure a maximum cold side temperature of 125 C for a hot side temperature of 1000 C for 15 hours.

Le dispositif de l'invention comprend, dans l'un des modes de réalisation, des modules de protection contre le feu qui peuvent être montés sur l'équipement existant sans aucun démontage de celui-ci, les modules étant plaqués contre ses parois extérieures. Les modules peuvent être fabriqués de façon à épouser des surfaces planes ou courbées. Le dispositif de l'invention peut aussi être incorporé dans la structure de l'équipement à protéger.  The device of the invention comprises, in one embodiment, fire protection modules that can be mounted on the existing equipment without any disassembly thereof, the modules being pressed against its outer walls. The modules can be made to conform to flat or curved surfaces. The device of the invention can also be incorporated into the structure of the equipment to be protected.

L'invention peut être utilisée pour la protection anti-feu et contre les hautes températures des coffres forts, pour la fabrication des portes, murs et cloisons anti-feu.  The invention can be used for the fire protection and against the high temperatures of safes, for the manufacture of doors, walls and fire walls.

Les sytèmes actuels de protection contre le feu incorporent un isolant dans l'épaisseur des structures, par exemple des panneaux isolants dans l'épaisseur des murs d'un coffre- fort ou posent un isolant en revêtement, comme sur les portes coupe-feu. Ces isolants retardent le transfert de chaleur, mais après un certain temps la chaleur pénètre et chauffe les éléments structurels des équipements, qui, étant pour la plupart métalliques, ne présentent pas de barrière au peu de chaleur transmise et montent vite en température, perdant ainsi leur résistance mécanique.  Current fire protection systems incorporate insulation in the thickness of structures, for example insulating panels in the wall thickness of a safe or insulating coating, such as on fire doors. These insulators retard the heat transfer, but after a while the heat penetrates and heats the structural elements of the equipment, which, being mostly metallic, do not present a barrier to the little heat transmitted and rise quickly in temperature, thus losing their mechanical resistance.

Il serait intéressant d'associer à l'isolant un tampon thermique qui absorbe la chaleur transmise par l'isolant et qui assure une température stable pendant la durée de la protection. La stabilité de température est importante, par exemple pour la protection des documents et des supports informatiques.  It would be interesting to associate with the insulation a thermal buffer that absorbs the heat transmitted by the insulation and ensures a stable temperature for the duration of protection. Temperature stability is important, for example for the protection of documents and computer media.

Le dispositif de l'invention intègre côté froid d'un isolant un réservoir de liquide qui absorbe la chaleur transmise par l'isolant en se vaporisant, gardant ainsi l'intérieur de l'équipement protégé à une température proche de celle de la vaporisation du liquide. Le dispositif de l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre de façon modulaire, afin de faciliter son montage.  The device of the invention integrates cold side of an insulator a liquid reservoir which absorbs the heat transmitted by the insulation vaporizing, thus keeping the inside of the protected equipment at a temperature close to that of the vaporization of the liquid. The device of the invention can be implemented in a modular way, in order to facilitate its assembly.

En référence à la figure 1, qui montre en coupe un des modes de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif comprend deux compartiments (1) (3) séparés par une cloison (2) dont le compartiment côté chaud (3) enferme un isolant et celui côté froid (1) enferme un liquide, par exemple l'eau. Le compartiment du liquide communique avec l'extérieur du module par un tuyau (4) qui traverse le compartiment de l'isolant. Ce tuyau, appelé le sifflet, permet aux gaz générés par la vaporisation du liquide de s'échapper. Le sifflet est placé au point haut du compartiment pour éviter que le liquide ne s'écoule du compartiment avant de se vaporiser. Le sifflet, dans des mises en oeuvre variées, est utilisé dans tous les modes de réalisation de l'invention.  Referring to Figure 1, which shows in section one of the embodiments of the invention, the device comprises two compartments (1) (3) separated by a partition (2) whose hot side compartment (3) encloses an insulator and the cold side (1) encloses a liquid, for example water. The liquid compartment communicates with the outside of the module through a pipe (4) which passes through the insulation compartment. This pipe, called the whistle, allows the gases generated by the vaporization of the liquid to escape. The whistle is placed at the top of the compartment to prevent liquid from flowing out of the compartment before spraying. Whistle, in various implementations, is used in all embodiments of the invention.

Afin d'empêcher la vaporisation du liquide aux basses températures, le sifflet est obturé par un bouchon (5) qui fond à une températue bien définie, par exemple un bouchon en alliage eutectique formulé pour fondre à 300 C. Afin d'éviter des surpressions dans le compartiment du liquide, la position et l'épaisseur du bouchon sont calculées par des méthodes bien connues de façon que celui-ci fonde avant que le liquide ne commence à se vaporiser.  In order to prevent the vaporization of the liquid at low temperatures, the whistle is closed by a plug (5) which melts at a defined temperature, for example a eutectic alloy plug formulated to melt at 300 C. In order to avoid overpressures in the liquid compartment, the position and thickness of the cap are calculated by well-known methods so that the latter melts before the liquid begins to vaporize.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif d'un compartiment d'isolant côté chaud séparé par une cloison d'un compartiment du liquide côte froid est intégré dans la structure de l'équipement à protéger contre le feu, le compartiment liquide étant toujours en communication avec l'extérieur.  In another embodiment, the device of a hot-side insulating compartment separated by a partition of a cold-side liquid compartment is integrated into the structure of the equipment to be protected against fire, the liquid compartment being always in communication with the outside.

Dans une autre mise en oeuvre de l'invention, deux modules comprennant chacun un compartiment isolant et un compartiment liquide sont montés compartiment de liquide contre compartiment de liquide pour former une porte ou une barrière coupe-feu qui protège des deux cotés. Les deux réservoirs de liquide communiquent afin de rallonger le temps de protection.  In another implementation of the invention, two modules each comprising an insulating compartment and a liquid compartment are mounted liquid compartment against liquid compartment to form a door or a fire barrier which protects on both sides. The two liquid tanks communicate to extend the protection time.

Dans une autre réalisation de l'invention, un module qui comprend un compartiment d'eau pris en sandwich entre deux compartiments isolants est aménagé pour former une porte ou une barrière coupe-feu, fixe ou amovible. Le compartiment d'eau est muni de deux sifflets, chacun traversant un des compartiments isolants au point le plus haut pour communiquer avec l'extérieur.  In another embodiment of the invention, a module which comprises a water compartment sandwiched between two insulating compartments is arranged to form a door or a fire barrier, fixed or removable. The water compartment has two whistles, each passing through one of the insulating compartments at the highest point to communicate with the outside.

Afin de réduire l'épaisseur des dispositifs, dans tous les modes de réalisation de l'invention,une charpente peut être intégrée dans le compartiment du liquide et les parois du compartiment peuvent servir d'éléments structurels.  In order to reduce the thickness of the devices, in all the embodiments of the invention, a frame may be integrated into the liquid compartment and the walls of the compartment may serve as structural elements.

Dans les réalisations de l'invention où plusieurs modules du dispositif sont mis en oeuvre, les modules peuvent être interconnectés mécaniquement, par exemple par soudure, afin que l'assemblage de modules puisse servir d'élément structurel.  In the embodiments of the invention where several modules of the device are implemented, the modules can be interconnected mechanically, for example by welding, so that the assembly of modules can serve as a structural element.

Lorsque à l'intérieur de l'espace ou de l'équipement protégé, on peut aménager un réservoir du liquide connecté au compartiment du liqude du dispositif de l'invention, on peut remplir le compartiment du liquide au fur et à mesure qu'il se vide en utilisation, afin de prolonger la durée de la protection anti-feu. Ainsi on pourrait prolonger celle-ci aussi longtemps que le réservoir de remplissage contient du liquide et le dispositif côté chaud garde son intégrité structurelle.  When inside the space or the protected equipment, it is possible to arrange a reservoir of the liquid connected to the liquid compartment of the device of the invention, the compartment of the liquid can be filled as and when it empties in use, to extend the duration of the fire protection. Thus one could extend it as long as the filling tank contains liquid and the hot side device keeps its structural integrity.
