Abstract
A solid propellant gas generator releases a flowing mixture from a solid propellant, separated from a surrounding area, into the surrounding area. The solid propellant gas generator includes a cooling system for cooling the flowing mixture. The cooling system has at least one feed device for feeding a gas from the surrounding area to the flowing mixture in order to mix the flowing mixture prior to entering into the surrounding area with the gas from the surrounding area.

1-15. (canceled)
A solid propellant gas generator, comprising:
- a housing containing a solid propellant, which is separated from a surrounding area, that is released as a flowing mixture into the surrounding area;
- and
- a cooling system configured to cool the flowing mixture, wherein the cooling system has at least one feed device configured to feed a gas from the surrounding area to the flowing mixture so that gas from the surrounding area mixes with the flowing mixture prior to entering into the surrounding area.
An extinguishing device for extinguishing a fire, the comprising:
- a solid propellant gas generator, which includes
- a housing containing a solid propellant, which is separated from a surrounding area, that is released as a flowing mixture into the surrounding area;
- and
- a cooling system configured to cool the flowing mixture, wherein the cooling system has at least one feed device configured to feed a gas from the surrounding area to the flowing mixture so that gas from the surrounding area mixes with the flowing mixture prior to entering into the surrounding area.
A method for cooling a flowing mixture, the method comprising:
- a) accelerating the flowing mixture;
- b) feeding a cooling gas to the flowing mixture;
- and
- c) distributing the cooled flowing mixture into a surrounding area in such a way that additional cooling gas is fed in.
