DEVICE FOR RESTRICTING THE ULTIMATE CONSEQUENCES OF ESSENTIALLY UNCONTROLLED FIRE IN A DANGEROUS MATERIAL STORE

摘要

The restricting device (10, 11) comprises a connector duct (46), a closed reservoir (28) containing a liquid (26), a fire protection (20) and a system (80) for control of the level of liquid in said reservoir. The reservoir (28) comprises at least one internal chamber (54) in direct communication with a storage cell (4), by means of said connecting duct (46) and at least one external chamber (52) in direct communication with a confinement wall (2) by means of at least one upper opening (36) in said reservoir (28). The above is of application to the restriction of the ultimate consequences of an essentially uncontrolled fire in a storage cell (4) arranged within a confining wall (2).
