AEROSOL GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: fire fighting, particularly means for generating aerosol fire inhibitors by burning pyrotechnic composition of cartridge and for delivering thereof into space to be protected in organized manner.

SUBSTANCE: aerosol generator comprises cartridge triggering unit secured into coaxial metal body through gypsum cement layer. Metal body has communication orifices to establish communication with reverse annular channel of receiver aligned with the body and covered with end cup having outlet orifices. The components are arranged inside perforated heat-exchanger case connected with outer shell through heat-shielding gypsum cement layer. The shell is tubular. Heat-exchanger case has end covers attached to case ends and having outlet orifices. End covers are fixedly secured to metal body and arranged symmetrically relative receiver located between pyrotechnical cartridges. One cartridge is provided with independent triggering unit. The case has corrugations to secure thereof in gypsum cement of heat-shielding layer.

EFFECT: increased operational reliability due to generating ignition impulse by two independent triggering units, increased intensity of cartridge burning simultaneously from both ends when fire-extinguishing composition is fed in opposite directions, reduced size, increased load-bearing strength and, as a result, possibility to increase pressure of fire-extinguishing flow to generate high-velocity flow.
