Abstract
A device for compensating a filling level (34) in a pressure vessel (1) for an extinguishing agent, includes an extinguishing line (32), a propellant-gas line (37) supplied with propellant gas (31), and an adapter (3) on a threaded socket of the pressure vessel (1). A compensation tank (30) is in communication with the pressure vessel and a shut-off member (9) is arranged between the compensation tank (30) and the pressure vessel (1). The shut-off member is closed automatically to isolate the compensation tank from the pressure vessel when a propellant is applied to the pressure vessel so that the extinguishing agent can be stored without pressure in the extinguishing-agent vessel and can be monitored using a simple device.
Claims12
A device for compensating a filling level (34) in a pressure vessel (1) for an extinguishing agent, comprising:
- the pressure vessel (1) having the extinguishing agent (6);
- an extinguishing line (32) connected to the pressure vessel;
- a propellant-gas line (37) in communication with the pressure vessel and having a propellant gas (31);
- an adapter (3) connected to the pressure vessel (1);
- a compensation tank (30) and a shut-off member (9) between the compensation tank (30) and the pressure vessel (1);
- and
- wherein in a trigger state, the shut-off member (9) automatically separates a fluid connection between the pressure vessel and the compensation tank when the propellant gas (31) applies a pressure.
