Description
Sistema de extinción de incendios mediante líquidos congelados.Fire extinguishing system by frozen liquids
La presente invención está relacionada con la extinción de incendios en lugares de difícil alcance con los medios convencionales, proponiendo un sistema de extinción que se basa en el lanzamiento de líquidos congelados sobre el fuego a extinguir.The present invention is related to the fire fighting in hard-to-reach places with the media conventional, proposing an extinction system that is based on throwing frozen liquids over the fire to extinguish.
Los medios que se utilizan para la extinción de incendios, dependen del tipo de incendio, su magnitud y el lugar de ubicación, siendo la forma más usual el lanzamiento de agua que se proyecta a presión por medio de mangueras, en la mayoría de los casos desde vehículos cisterna que se trasladan hasta la proximidad del lugar del incendio.The means used for the extinction of fires, depend on the type of fire, its magnitude and the place of location, being the most usual way to release water projects under pressure by means of hoses, in most of the cases from tank vehicles that move to proximity from the fire place.
Este sistema de lanzamiento de agua resulta sin embargo de un alcance bastante limitado, debido a la naturaleza fluida del agua, que reduce considerablemente la fuerza de impulsión del lanzamiento, de manera que en casos, como los incendios forestales, o en edificios de gran altura, el lanzamiento de agua mediante proyección con mangueras, resulta insuficiente a partir de determinadas distancias.This water launch system is without however of a fairly limited scope, due to nature water fluid, which greatly reduces the driving force of the launch, so that in cases, such as fires forest, or in high-rise buildings, the launch of water by projection with hoses, it is insufficient from certain distances
Por otro lado, el agua se evapora a 100°C, lo que hace que en las condiciones de lanzamiento para extinción de incendios, se evapore una parte importante del agua lanzada, sin que llegue a cumplir su objetivo, lo que reduce la efectividad de la extinción e incrementa la cantidad de agua que es necesario lanzar.On the other hand, the water evaporates at 100 ° C, which which makes in the launch conditions for extinction of fires, an important part of the water released is evaporated, without that reaches its goal, which reduces the effectiveness of the extinction and increases the amount of water that is necessary throw.
De acuerdo con la invención se propone un sistema de extinción que mejora la efectividad del método convencional de lanzamiento de agua, tanto en el aspecto del alcance al que se puede llegar, como en el aprovechamiento del líquido que se utiliza como medio extintor.According to the invention, a extinguishing system that improves the effectiveness of the method conventional water launch, both in the appearance of scope that can be reached, as in the use of liquid used as extinguishing medium.
Este sistema objeto de la invención consiste en congelar el agua o líquido que se utilice como extintor, formando pequeños bloques o cubos de hielo, los cuales se lanzan como proyectiles mediante impulsión neumática, a través de un dispositivo a modo de cañón.This system object of the invention consists of freeze the water or liquid used as a fire extinguisher, forming small blocks or ice cubes, which are thrown as projectiles by pneumatic drive, through a cannon-like device
Para ello, el líquido extintor a lanzar se enfría en un congelador capaz de producir pequeños bloques o cubos de hielo a partir de un flujo líquido continuo de alimentación, pasando los cubos de hielo al dispositivo de lanzamiento, desde el cual son propulsados por el sistema neumático de este dispositivo.For this, the extinguishing liquid to be launched is cools in a freezer capable of producing small blocks or cubes of ice from a continuous liquid feed flow, passing the ice cubes to the launch device, from the which are propelled by the pneumatic system of this device.
Se obtiene así un sistema que, merced a la consistencia y peso de los cubos de hielo, permite el lanzamiento a grandes distancias, pudiendo llegar a 500 metros o más de alcance, de manera que se puede llevar a efecto una acción de extinción sobre fuegos que son inalcanzables para el lanzamiento convencional de agua con mangueras.A system is thus obtained that, thanks to the consistency and weight of the ice cubes, allows the launch to great distances, being able to reach 500 meters or more of reach, so that an extinction action can be carried out about fires that are unreachable for conventional launch of water with hoses.
El proceso de formación de los cubos de hielo se
regula mediante un sistema de control informático, en combinación
con la proyección del lanzamiento, según las características del
incendio que se trate de apagar, de manera que mediante un
enfriamiento mayor o menor se determina la formación de los cubos
de hielo con solo una capa exterior, cuyo
grosor puede ser
variable, o de una forma totalmente maciza, con lo cual se logra
que los cubos de hielo fundan con la rapidez adecuada en cada caso,
para que el agua de los mismos haga el efecto de extinción sobre el
fuego de aplicación.The process of formation of ice cubes is regulated by a computer control system, in combination with the projection of the launch, according to the characteristics of the fire that is to be extinguished, so that by means of a greater or lesser cooling the formation is determined of ice cubes with only one outer layer, whose
Thickness can be variable, or in a totally solid way, with which it is achieved that the ice cubes melt with the appropriate speed in each case, so that the water of the same ones makes the effect of extinction on the fire of application.
En mezcla con el líquido, que puede ser agua u otros líquidos, se pueden incluir también espesantes, retardantes, etc., lo cual permite mejorar a su vez las características para conseguir una máxima efectividad en la extinción de los incendios.In mixture with the liquid, which can be water or other liquids, thickeners, retardants, may also be included etc., which in turn improves the characteristics for achieve maximum effectiveness in the extinction of fires.
Con este sistema, el líquido extintor se lanza además sobre el fuego a una temperatura notablemente inferior a la del agua del sistema convencional, lo cual también hace más efectiva la acción de extinción del fuego.With this system, the extinguishing liquid is released also on the fire at a temperature significantly lower than the of the conventional system water, which also does more Effective fire extinguishing action.
Por todo lo cual, el sistema de la invención resulta de unas características realmente ventajosas para la función de extinción de incendios a la que se halla destinado, adquiriendo vida propia y carácter preferente, respecto del sistema de lanzamiento de agua líquida, para dicha función.For all of which, the system of the invention results from really advantageous features for the firefighting function to which it is intended, acquiring own life and preferential character, with respect to the system of launch of liquid water, for this function.
La figura 1 muestra un esquema del conjunto funcional del sistema extintor de incendios preconizado.Figure 1 shows an outline of the set Functional fire extinguishing system recommended.
El objeto de la invención se refiere a un sistema para la extinción de incendios, que se basa en el lanzamiento de un líquido congelado en forma de cubos de hielo, sobre el fuego a extinguir.The object of the invention relates to a fire extinguishing system, which is based on the launch of a frozen liquid in the form of ice cubes, On the fire to extinguish.
Como líquido extintor para tal fin puede utilizarse agua u otros líquidos, pudiendo incluirse en mezcla con el líquido utilizado productos influyentes en características que mejoren las cualidades para la función extintora, como espesantes, retardantes, geles, etc.As an extinguishing liquid for this purpose, you can use water or other liquids, and may be included in admixture with the liquid used influential products in characteristics that improve the qualities for the extinguishing function, as thickeners, retarders, gels, etc.
El sistema se determina funcionalmente mediante un aparato congelador (1), capaz de congelar a la forma de pequeños bloques o cubos de hielo un flujo de líquido suministrado en continuo, que se alimenta por una entrada (2) de llegada del líquido destinado como medio para la extinción.The system is determined functionally by a freezer (1), capable of freezing in the form of small blocks or ice cubes a flow of liquid supplied in continuous, which is fed by an input (2) of arrival of the liquid intended as a means of extinction.
Los cubos de hielo que se forman en el aparato congelador (1), pasan a través de una comunicación (3) a un dispositivo (4) en forma de cañón que va conectado a una alimentación (5) de aire a presión.The ice cubes that form in the device freezer (1), pass through a communication (3) to a cannon-shaped device (4) that is connected to a supply (5) of pressurized air.
En el mencionado dispositivo (4) se produce un efecto de impulsión neumática por el aire a presión, lo cual da lugar a una propulsión de lanzamiento de los cubos de hielo, que puede ser dirigida hacia donde se desee, pudiendo alcanzar distancias de 500 metros o más.In said device (4) there is a pneumatic drive effect by pressurized air, which gives rise to an ice cube launch propulsion, which can be directed where desired, being able to reach distances of 500 meters or more.
De este modo, el lanzamiento de los cubos de hielo se puede dirigir hacia fuegos de aplicación, desde largas distancias respecto de los mismos, de forma que al caer los cubos de hielo sobre el fuego se funden al estado líquido, realizando de manera efectiva una acción extintora, la cual resulta más eficaz que al lanzar agua líquida según el método convencional, ya que, con este nuevo sistema, el agua que se proyecta sobre el fuego llega a una temperatura mucho menor.Thus, the launch of the cubes of ice can be directed towards application fires, from long distances from them, so that when the cubes fall of ice on the fire melt into the liquid state, performing effectively an extinguishing action, which is more effective that when launching liquid water according to the conventional method, since, With this new system, the water that is projected on the fire It reaches a much lower temperature.
El aparato congelador (1) se dispone conectado a un sistema informático (6), mediante el cual se regula automáticamente el enfriamiento de congelación del líquido extintor, en función de las características del incendio al que se destine la aplicación y del lanzamiento que sea necesario efectuar.The freezer (1) is connected to a computer system (6), by which it is regulated automatically freezing liquid cooling fire extinguisher, depending on the characteristics of the fire to which allocate the application and launch as necessary make.
En este sentido, los cubos de hielo se pueden formar con solo una capa congelada exterior, cuyo grosor puede variar, hasta una forma totalmente maciza, de acuerdo con el peso que sea necesario para el lanzamiento que se tenga que realizar y de la rapidez que se precise de la fusión de los cubos de hielo para que caigan en forma líquida, pero con la menor temperatura posible, sobre el fuego de aplicación.In this sense, ice cubes can be form with only one frozen outer layer, whose thickness can vary, up to a completely solid form, according to the weight that is necessary for the launch to be made and the speed that is required of melting ice cubes so that they fall in liquid form, but with the lowest temperature possible, on the application fire.
En la realización práctica, el equipo de aplicación del sistema se halla previsto para ir incorporado en un vehículo portador, para llevarle hasta una distancia prudencial de los fuegos, desde donde se pueda realizar el lanzamiento de extinción.In the practical realization, the team of system application is planned to be incorporated into a carrier vehicle, to take you up to a safe distance from the fires, from where the launch of extinction.
