DEVICE FOR SELF-QUENCHING LIQUIDS, BURNING WHILE EMERGENCY EFFLUX EFFECT OR SPILLAGE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A62C3/06 B65D90/22 

FIELD: fire-fighting equipment.

SUBSTANCE: device can be used in the premises of enterprises, where flammable and combustible liquids are constantly used in production, for manufacture of flame-retardant floors, in reserve tanks designed to collect spilled burning liquid, to install directly in open tanks or tanks under a layer of liquid. When using the invention self-quenching of liquids is carried out due to the fact that the device contains a horizontal layer of axisymmetric vertical channels or tubes forming the cellular structure, enclosed in a cowling. Under the lower edge of the cellular structure a flat metal container is placed which vertical walls provide the clearance created in the structure of the vertical channels, this clearance is not filled with liquid and is required for effective quenching of flame, as the combustion process becomes impossible. A metal plate flame cutter is mounted between a flat container and lower edge of vertical channels on the periphery.

EFFECT: device for self-quenching is inexpensive and effective means to extinguish burning liquids.
