Abstract

A fire extinguishing equipment including an extinguishing-launching part-unit and a pressure-resistant storage body with an internal space housing a fire extinguishing material. A transport pipe is connected to the internal space to transport the fire extinguishing material to a use location. An extinguishing part-unit is connected to the external end of the transport pipe and includes one or more event-detecting part-units, which are connected to the extinguishing-launching part-unit. The extinguishing-launching part-unit is supplemented with a separation fitting disposed within the transport pipe, separated from a transport regulation fitting also disposed within the transport pipe. A reference pressure supply part-unit is within the transport pipe between the separation fitting and the transport regulation fitting. Each of the transport regulation fitting and the separation fitting includes a clamping housing and a rupture disc fixed therein, which rupture upon detection of a fire to dispense the fire extinguishing material.

Abstract

Inert and hydrocarbon gases, such as propellant gases, maintain a pressure in a bottle to ensure that a formed composition can be dispensed to an intended destination. The carrier releases soluble hydrocarbon gases and the water drops dissolve inert gases, so the liquid is inflated and creates upstanding foam. This foam maintains the texture and water content up to 6-24 hours, depending on the ratio of the fire-resistant component. As heat reaches the foam, the heat-resistant silicate component becomes activated. Strong heat causes evaporation of the moisture of the carrier, and then the bound water of the silicates evaporates from the foam, with a honeycomb-structure left behind which is a good thermal insulator and is able to protect the object. Above approximately 350° C., a ceramic protective layer forms, while the water content of the foam inside the foam migrates outwards towards the dry crust.
