Description

« Dispositif pour fournir des fumées destiné notamment aux exercices de lutte contre  "Device for supplying fumes intended in particular for anti-smoking exercises
l'incendie.»  the fire. "
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour fournir des fumées destiné notamment aux exercices de lutte contre l'incendie, dispositif comportant un premier contenant pour fournir des premières fumées. The present invention relates to a device for providing fumes intended in particular for fire-fighting exercises, a device comprising a first container for providing first fumes.
Ce genre de dispositif qui fournit des fumées contrôlées, trouve des applications importantes pour l'entraînement des pompiers pour lutter contre les incendies survenant dans les tunnels, notamment. Il est donc utile de générer des fumées du genre qui peut être engendré dans un tunnel lors d'un accident. Cependant, la quantité de chaleur dégagée par ce genre de dispositif est très limitée et permet de réduire presque à néant les dangers inhérents à un incendie réel.  This type of device that provides controlled smoke, finds important applications for the training of firefighters to fight fires occurring in tunnels, including. It is therefore useful to generate fumes of the kind that can be generated in a tunnel during an accident. However, the amount of heat generated by this type of device is very limited and can reduce almost to nothing the dangers inherent in a real fire.
Ce dispositif permet aussi d'évaluer le désenfumage au cours desquels une fumée contrôlée est générée. Le système de désenfumage est alors mis en route et son efficacité est évaluée.  This device also makes it possible to evaluate the smoke extraction during which a controlled smoke is generated. The smoke extraction system is then started and its efficiency is evaluated.
Il est encore possible d'effectuer des exercices d'évacuation et de secours au cours desquels une fumée contrôlée est générée. La capacité des occupants à évacuer dans des conditions proches de la réalité (débit fumigène et opacité des fumées) peut être évaluée. La capacité des services de secours à intervenir dans les mêmes conditions peut également être évaluée.  It is still possible to perform evacuation and rescue drills in which controlled smoke is generated. The capacity of the occupants to evacuate under conditions close to reality (smoke flow and smoke opacity) can be evaluated. The capacity of the emergency services to intervene under the same conditions can also be evaluated.
Un tel dispositif est décrit dans la demande de brevet déposée en France, le 29 juillet 2009 sous le numéro 0955302. Ce dispositif apporte entière satisfaction. Il s'avère que le phénomène de stratification des fumées dans un tunnel peut être encore amélioré. En effet, dans les incendies réels, on constate que les fumées sont échauffées par le foyer et stagnent au sommet du local où le feu s'est déclenché. Il est alors possible d'accentuer cette propriété à la fumée pour qu'elle reste au sommet du local. Pour améliorer la stratification des fumées dans un local, un dispositif du genre mentionné dans le préambule est remarquable en ce que qu'il comporte en outre au moins un contenant de réchauffement placé à proximité dudit premier contenant. La description suivante accompagnée des dessins ci-annexés, le tout donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Dans les dessins : Such a device is described in the patent application filed in France on July 29, 2009 under the number 0955302. This device provides complete satisfaction. It turns out that the phenomenon of smoke stratification in a tunnel can be further improved. Indeed, in real fires, it is found that the fumes are heated by the fireplace and stagnate at the top of the room where the fire started. It is then possible to accentuate this property to smoke so that it remains at the top of the room. To improve the stratification of fumes in a room, a device of the type mentioned in the preamble is remarkable in that it further comprises at least one heating container placed near said first container. The following description accompanied by the accompanying drawings, all given by way of non-limiting example, will make it clear how the invention can be realized. In the drawings:
la figure 1 montre un dispositif conforme à l'invention.  Figure 1 shows a device according to the invention.
A la figure 1, la référence 1 montre le dispositif conforme à l'invention. Il est placé dans un local 5. Il se compose d'un premier contenant 10 destiné à fournir des premières fumées, placé sur le sol 11. Ce contenant est du type décrit dans la demande de brevet n°0955302 du 29 juillet 2009 déjà mentionnée. Ce contenant contient un mélange de nitrate de potassium, de flocons de pomme de terre et des fécules à base d'amidon. Il se produit alors, lorsqu'il est enflammé, des premières fumées qualifiées de tièdes.  In Figure 1, the reference 1 shows the device according to the invention. It is placed in a room 5. It consists of a first container 10 intended to provide first smoke, placed on the floor 11. This container is of the type described in the patent application No. 0955302 of July 29, 2009 already mentioned . This container contains a mixture of potassium nitrate, potato flakes and starch based starches. It then occurs, when it is ignited, the first smoke qualified lukewarm.
Pour améliorer la stratification des fumées telle qu'elle se présente lors d'incendies réels, l'invention propose de réchauffer ces fumées produites. Pour cela, on a placé à proximité de ce contenant 11 un ou plusieurs contenants de réchauffement 15, 16, 17 et 18.  To improve the stratification of fumes as it occurs during actual fires, the invention proposes to heat these fumes produced. For this, one placed near this container 11 one or more warming containers 15, 16, 17 and 18.
Ces contenants de réchauffement contiennent un combustible facilement inflammable du genre heptane, alcool, essence, bois, etc. Il est même possible d'utiliser des brûleurs à gaz.  These warming containers contain a highly flammable fuel such as heptane, alcohol, gasoline, wood, etc. It is even possible to use gas burners.
En d'autres termes le combustible peut être un combustible liquide, solide, gazeux et être à base d'heptane, comme déjà dit.  In other words, the fuel can be a liquid, solid, gaseous fuel and be based on heptane, as already mentioned.
Il est à noter qu'à chaque premier contenant (10) est affecté au moins deux contenants de réchauffement (15, 16, ...).  It should be noted that each first container (10) is assigned at least two warming containers (15, 16, ...).
Ainsi dans une atmosphère réchauffée, les fumées engendrées au niveau du premier contenant sont aussi réchauffées et présentent un mouvement ascensionnel qui les dirige vers le sommet 50 du local 3 d'une manière semblable aux incendies réels.  Thus in a heated atmosphere, the fumes generated at the first container are also heated and have an upward movement that directs them to the top 50 of the local 3 in a similar way to real fires.
On peut aussi utiliser des contenants de réchauffement de grande surface de sorte à minimiser leur nombre.  It is also possible to use large surface heating containers so as to minimize their number.
La présence de deux sortes de contenant donne une grande souplesse dans différents exercices de lutte. Pour certains cas, la présence de contenants de réchauffement n'est pas nécessaire et dans d'autres si. .  The presence of two kinds of container gives great flexibility in different wrestling exercises. For some cases, the presence of warming containers is not necessary and in others if. .
