Fire fighting in railway vehicles

摘要

The vehicle has a fire-fighting system with an extinguishing agent supply tank (10) and an extinguishing agent output system. A pressure generating unit (8) is coupled with a compressed air supply (6) and generates a static pressure in a pipeline system (12), where the fire in the vehicle can be detected by a pressure drop in the system (12). A fluid connection is formed between the tank and the output system during the pressure drop.
