Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à être utilisé en prévention d'incendie de forêts, par l'émission de fines gouttelettes d'eau depuis des points fixes ou mobiles et notamment depuis des ballons aériens captifs ou non, avec additifs ou non. Le système peut être relié à une série de détecteurs, déclenché manuellement, par commande électrique ou par télécommande. Il peut être utilisé en climatisation de zones boisées ou non, en apport d'eau et d'humidité pour des zones arides, pâturages, golfs, avec fertilisants ou non. Le dispositif selon l'invention utilise principalement les ballons captifs comme supports, ce qui lui permet de pouvoir couvrir de grandes superficies.The invention relates to a method intended to be used in forest fire prevention, by the emission of fine droplets of water from fixed or mobile points and in particular from air balloons, whether captive or not, with or without additives. The system can be connected to a series of detectors, triggered manually, by electric control or by remote control. It can be used in air conditioning of wooded areas or not, in supplying water and humidity for arid areas, pastures, golf courses, with or without fertilizers. The device according to the invention mainly uses captive balloons as supports, which allows it to be able to cover large areas.
Description
PROCEDE DE LUTTE ET DE PREVENTION
CONTRE L'INCENDIE DE FORET
La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de lutter, de prévenir et de ralentir la propagation d'un incendie de forêt, par la mise en oeuvre d'un procédé de "brumisation" d'eau (émission de fines gouttelettes d'eau dans l'atmosphère).CONTROL AND PREVENTION PROCESS
FOREST FIRE
The present invention relates to a method for controlling, preventing and slowing the spread of a forest fire, by implementing a process of "misting" water (emission of fine water droplets in the 'atmosphere).
Les techniques actuelles mettent en oeuvre des procédés d'aspersion d'eau qui sont grands consommateurs d'eau et qui ne sont efficaces - qu'après consommation d'une grande quantité d'eau, ceci nécessitant des alimentations locales d'eau très importantes, ce qui est quasiment impossible dans des endroits inaccessibles des zones à protéger. Current techniques use water spraying methods which consume large amounts of water and which are effective - only after consumption of a large quantity of water, this requiring very large local water supplies. , which is almost impossible in inaccessible places in the areas to be protected.
Le procédé selon l'invention met en oeuvre un procédé de brumisation d'eau au dessus des zones à protéger. Le principe kest de créer un unage de fines gouttelettes en suspension dans l'air. Cet environnement a pour effet de créer une zone non propice à l'incendie par
- création d'un effet de "brume",
- création d'un effet de bruine,
- ruissellement de l'eau, du fait du regroupement de gouttelettes,
- hygrométrie élevée,
température rabaissée empêchant la vaporisation des essences et des
résines contenues dans les arbres et plantes.The method according to the invention implements a method of misting water over the areas to be protected. The principle is to create a unage of fine droplets suspended in the air. This environment has the effect of creating an area not prone to fire by
- creation of a "mist" effect,
- creating a drizzle effect,
- water runoff, due to the grouping of droplets,
- high humidity,
lowered temperature preventing vaporization of gasoline and
resins contained in trees and plants.
Pour un effet curatif, le système prévoit d'injecter dans l'eau des inhibiteurs et bloqueurs de combustion, ce déclenchement de l'injection étant asservit à un détecteur. For a curative effect, the system plans to inject combustion inhibitors and blockers into the water, this triggering of the injection being controlled by a detector.
Le point de "brumisation" est placé à une hauteur réglable ; ceci permettant la couverture d'une zone de 0,5 à 5 hectares. Les surfaces n'étant pas limitatives puique la multiplication du système est possible. Le maintien de ce point de brumisation à une hauteur suffisante peut-être fait par ballon aérien captif, poteau, perche, sommet de colline etc..., ou branché sur un véhicule aérien de préférence lent ou stationnaire. The "misting" point is placed at an adjustable height; this allows the coverage of an area of 0.5 to 5 hectares. The areas are not limiting since the multiplication of the system is possible. Maintaining this misting point at a sufficient height may be done by captive aerial balloon, pole, pole, hill top, etc., or connected to an aerial vehicle, preferably slow or stationary.
Le système a aussi l'avantage, lorsque les flammes en provenance d'une zone non protégée viennent en contact de la zone brumisée, de provoquer un abaissement de la température par les figories créées par l'évaporation permanente sur la zone de contact, créant de nouveau une zone non ou très peu propagatrice d'incendie. The system also has the advantage, when the flames coming from an unprotected area come into contact with the misted area, to cause a lowering of the temperature by the figories created by permanent evaporation on the contact area, creating again an area with little or no spread of fire.
L'alimentation en eau peut-être faite, soit à partir de réseaux d'alimentation, de réservoirs préssurisés transportables installés par voie terrestre ou aérienne pour les endroits difficilement accessibles. The water supply can be made, either from supply networks, transportable pressurized tanks installed by land or air for places that are difficult to access.
L'actionnement peut être réalisé soit manuellement soit par commande électrisque avec liaison ou non à une télécommande reliée à un ou plusieurs détecteurs ou fonctionner en continu pendant certaines périodes. The actuation can be carried out either manually or by electrical control with or without connection to a remote control connected to one or more detectors or operate continuously for certain periods.
Le procédé peut couvrir, en apport d'eau d'arrosage, des zones arides, paturages, vergers, golfs, éventuellement en rajoutant un fertilisant. The process can cover, by supplying sprinkling water, arid areas, pastures, orchards, golf courses, possibly by adding a fertilizer.
