Definitions
- the invention relates to a fire extinguishing system and a control system for tunnels and similar structures in particular.
- the disadvantage is that in the event of a fire, the nozzles in the vicinity of the source of the fire release the extinguishing agent in a non-directional and non-targeted manner and without the required force, so that the fire-fighting is not optimal.
- Another disadvantage is that in the event of a fire, road users are not informed far enough from the source of the fire.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a technical solution for a fire extinguishing system for tunnels with which a source of fire can be combated in a targeted, effective and sustainable manner and which at the same time guides the traffic.
- the object is achieved by means of a fire extinguishing system according to claim 1.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a tunnel equipped with a fire extinguishing system according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows an extinguishing unit of the fire extinguishing system in a front view (cut),
- FIG. 3 shows an extinguishing unit of the fire extinguishing system in a side view (cut)
- FIG. 4 the fire extinguishing system in operation
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a tunnel 1 equipped with a fire extinguishing system according to the invention.
- a rail 3 is arranged above the traffic route.
- the rail 3 (which has, for example, the shape of a double-T beam) can be fastened to the tunnel ceiling 2 or to a separate stud frame (not shown).
- On the track 3 are at least two extinguishing units 4 of the fire extinguishing system.
- the rail 3 is arranged at such a height that the extinguishing units 4 are in any case above the vehicles.
- the form of the extinguishing unit 4 (FIG. 2) is adapted to the tunnel roof 2 and is connected to the rail 3 via the drive system 5. Inside the extinguishing unit 4 there is a container 6 for the extinguishing agent and a container 7 for the propellant.
- the nozzles 10 are designed so that they can discharge the extinguishing agent in practically all directions. This can be done in such a way that they are swiveled horizontally (by 360 °) and / or vertically (by approximately 180 °) or shifted horizontally and / or vertically via a mechanical system.
- the nozzle 10 can be in the form of a disk which dispenses the extinguishing agent in all directions via circumferentially arranged openings or which, when rotated, distributes the extinguishing agent over at least one circumferentially arranged opening over a surface.
- FIG. 5 shows a rotatable nozzle 10 which is fastened to a flexible line 18 which can be extended and retracted and can be positioned in the space under the extinguishing unit 4 by means of a pivotable linkage 18 which is variable in length.
- the extinguishing unit 4 is provided with at least one sensor 11 and a warning device 12.
- the sensors 11 arranged on the extinguishing units 4 recognize already heated parts of vehicles, such as heated brake drums.
- a television camera 17, which transmits moving images from the tunnel 1 to a control center, and a headlight 16, which illuminates the surroundings in a targeted manner for the television camera 17, can be arranged on the extinguishing unit 4. Both the television camera 17 and the headlight 16 are horizontally and vertically pivotable.
- FIG. 3 shows an extinguishing unit 4 of the fire extinguishing system in a side view.
- the extinguishing unit 4 is provided with couplings 13 at both ends.
- Each extinguishing unit 4 can be connected to adjacent extinguishing units 4 to form a larger unit (FIG. 4) by means of the couplings 13.
- At least one extinguishing unit 4 is equipped with elements which connect this extinguishing unit 4 to dedicated lines for extinguishing agents and propellants arranged in the vicinity of the rail 3.
- the further extinguishing units 4 are continuously supplied with extinguishing and propellant via the couplings 13.
- the connection can be made via couplings regularly arranged on the dedicated lines or via a connecting element that penetrates the dedicated lines at one point.
- the extinguishing units 4 are supplied with extinguishing agents and propellants in that the extinguishing units 4 oscillate between a coupling point on the dedicated lines and the outermost extinguishing units 4 involved in the fire-fighting, thus supplementing the consumed supplies.
- the extinguishing unit 4 shown in FIG. 3 is equipped with at least one display 15 with which information is transmitted to the road users.
- Smoke gas and heat development sensors 14 are arranged at a certain distance from one another on the tunnel ceiling 5 or at any other point on the tunnel wall.
- the drive system 5 of the extinguishing unit 4 is provided with electric motors and / or compressed air motors.
- the electric motors are powered by batteries located in the extinguishing unit 4 or by a separate busbar, e.g. is arranged on the rail 3, fed.
- the compressed air motors are driven by air stored in a compressed air tank.
- Liquid substances or multi-phase systems e.g. foams or powders
- propellant gas is used as the blowing agent.
- the extinguishing system according to the invention works as follows:
- the drive system 5 is controlled with this signal and the extinguishing units 4 closest to both sides of the source of the fire are moved to the source of the fire.
- the sensors 11 of the extinguishing units 4 locate the source of the fire and with the information obtained, these two extinguishing units 4 are optimally positioned in relation to the source of the fire and the nozzles 10 are optimally directed and opened at the source of the fire.
- nozzles 10 of an extinguishing unit 4 only the nozzle 10 closest to the source of the fire can be opened, while the other nozzles 10 are closed.
- the container 8 is opened and the propellant flows into the container 6 with the extinguishing agent, which is passed via the riser pipe 8 and line 9 to the opened nozzles 10 and sprayed in the direction of the source of the fire.
- the television camera 17 and the headlight 16 it is possible to visually record and evaluate the fire event and its surroundings from a control center and to manually control the extinguishing process. This can be necessary, for example, if people have to be protected from the fire or if flammable goods that are not in the immediate vicinity of the source of the fire have to be protected against the flames spreading.
- the further extinguishing units 4 are moved in the direction of the source of the fire and are connected by means of the couplings 13 to the extinguishing unit 4 closest to the source of the fire.
- the containers 8 are opened with the nozzles 10 closed and the extinguishing agent is conducted via the risers 9, the line 10 and the couplings 13 to the extinguishing units 4, who are directly involved in fire fighting and sprayed there.
- the extinguishing and blowing agents used are supplemented by means of the dedicated lines.
- the fire extinguishing system it is possible to point and open one or more nozzles 10 of one extinguishing unit 4 or nozzles 10 of several extinguishing units 4 at a source of fire. It is also possible to direct and open the nozzles 10 of one extinguishing unit 4 or nozzles 10 of several extinguishing units 4 at different sources of fire.
- the warning device signals the danger to road users in the event of a fire. It prevents road users from moving in the direction of the fire after the fire has been reported. The road users can be warned in a targeted manner via the displays 15 and can be given specific instructions well in advance of the source of the fire (STOP, TURN, etc.).
- the sensors 11 arranged on the extinguishing units 4 recognize already heated parts on vehicles, such as heated brake drums. In this way it is possible to stop such vehicles by means of the information transmitted via the displays 15 even before a fire occurs and to eliminate the possible cause of the fire.
- the fire extinguishing system according to the invention makes it possible to fight a fire with its entire capacity in a targeted manner. Due to the high mobility of the nozzles and their precise alignment with the source of the fire, practically every fire can be effectively combated as it arises. By combining the capacity of the entire system, larger and persistent fires can be extinguished.
