Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for extinguishing fires in hydrocarbon installations, intended for application in large tanks that store flammable products used in refineries and / or hydrocarbon plants where there are deposits of up to 100 meters of diameter containers of flammable products, or on large surfaces (ocean, etc).
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device that is located floating on the surface of the flammable product, such that if a fire starts on that surface of the flammable product the device explodes and spreads a flame retardant, retarding or extinguishing agent product, by the one who extinguishes the fire.
  • Invention Patent P-9700590 describing a device for extinguishing fires remotely, based on a large container containing the flame retardant, retarding or extinguishing agent in powder, gas or liquid, and immersed in said container an extinguisher intended to explode on contact with fire or heat detection, which will cause the release of the flame retardant product contained in said extinguisher and at the same time the dispersion of the product contained in the external container, which device can be activated directly or remotely, or by detection of heat produced by the possible fire, or by other agents.

  • This metal body formed by the disks or plates, the spacer rods and the baffles is complemented with a polyester envelope or any other material that is not attacked by vapors or liquids, envelope that has a closed base (corresponding to that considered as upper), and another open that closes by means of a suitable cover, so that it is in turn connected to a lower plate of considerable greater amplitude and high thickness determining a float of the device.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif, destiné à être utilisé dans de grands containers de produits inflammables que l'on utilise dans les raffineries et/ou les installations de traitement des hydrocarbures, pour éteindre immédiatement un incendie qui s'est déclaré sur cette superficie. Le dispositif comprend un récipient (1) destiné à renfermer le produit ignifuge, une enveloppe (6) fabriquée dans un matériau non susceptible d'être attaqué par des vapeurs ou des liquides, et une capsule (9) de charge explosive, dont dépassent des mèches (11), que l'on allume pour provoquer l'activation de la charge explosive de la capsule (9) et la dispersion correspondante du produit ignifuge, retardateur de flamme ou agent extincteur, à partir du récipient (1), celui-ci étant constitué de deux disques ou plaques métalliques (2) rendues rigides et mutuellement parallèles au moyen de tiges (3) d'espacement, comportant des coiffes déflectrices et radiales (4), qui permettent, au cours de la dispersion, de pulvériser latéralement le produit ignifuge sur les deux côtés du dispositif, en vue d'une efficacité maximum de la fonction d'extinction d'incendies.
