Abstract
A fire extinguishing equipment with improved characteristics which includes a pressure-resistant storage body with an internal space that houses a fire extinguishing composition. A monitoring unit is connected to the storage body to measure and regulate one or more physical characteristics. At least one discharge outlet is in communication with the internal space of the storage body and is configured to discharge the fire-extinguishing composition from the internal space to a use location. A charging inlet is disposed within the storage body and is configured to fill the internal space with the fire-extinguishing composition. An extinguishing-launching part-unit is inserted into a pipe section between the use location and the discharge outlet.
Claims11
A fire extinguishing equipment comprising:
- a pressure-resistant storage body including an internal space configured to house a fire extinguishing composition therein, with a circulation outlet disposed within the storage body and forming a channel to the internal space, and with a charging inlet disposed within the storage body and forming a channel to the internal space, the circulation outlet configured for removing the fire extinguishing composition from the internal space, and the charging inlet configured for filling the internal space of the storage body with the fire extinguishing composition;
- a monitoring unit connected to the storage body, the monitoring unit configured to measure and regulate one or more physical characteristics;
- at least one discharge outlet in communication with the internal space of the storage body and coupled to an extinguishing pipe section, the extinguishing pipe section disposed between the storage body and a use location, the at least one discharge outlet and the extinguishing pipe section configured to discharge the fire extinguishing composition from the internal space of the storage body to the use location;
- and
- a pressure-proof circulation unit coupled to the storage body via the circulation outlet and the charging inlet, the pressure-proof circulation unit configured to verify a working pressure of the storage body and to refill the storage body with a has phase component of the fire extinguishing composition, the pressure-proof circulation unit including:
- a feed stub connected to the charging inlet, a return stub connected to the circulation outlet, and a circulation pipe disposed between the feed stub and the return stub, with a circulation pump and a gas inlet fitting disposed within the circulation pipe;
- a gas tank connected to the gas inlet fitting, the gas tank configured to contain at least the gas phase component of the fire extinguishing composition, such that the gas tank introduces the gas phase component of the fire extinguishing composition to the circulation pipe,
- wherein the has phase component of the fire extinguishing composition is introduced to the fire extinguishing composition within the circulation pipe and refills the storage body via the charging inlet.
