摘要 |
The invention relates to an inerting method for preventing fires or explosions in a closed protected area, whereby the oxygen content in the protected area is reduced as compared to the surrounding atmosphere. The aim of the invention is to effectively prevent fires even when gases escape from solids or liquids in closed protected areas. For this purpose, the oxygen content in the closed protected area is controlled if any inflammable substances and/or gases are present in the closed protected area (for example hydrocarbons), depending on the concentration of the inflammable gases.
