METHOD OF FIRE PROTECTION OF RESERVOIRS FOR STORAGE OF LIQUID COMBUSTIBLES AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A62C3/06 A62C35/00 

FIELD: fire safety.

SUBSTANCE: method of fire protection of reservoirs for storage of liquid combustibles, consisting in the fact that after fire detection at least one fire-extinguishing agent is delivered via a layer of a combustible via at least one perforated standpipe installed in the reservoir and comprising at least one section passing through a combustible layer. At least one end of the standpipe is connected to a fire extinguishing system, and the other end of the standpipe protrudes above the maximum innage level of liquid combustible stored in the reservoir. The standpipe sections are covered with a synthetic film or a synthetic coating, which after fire occurrence is damaged above the level of the combustible stored in the reservoir, under action of fire factors, and opens standpipe perforation directly above liquid combustible surface and/or in combustion zone in close proximity to the surface, regardless of the innage level of liquid combustible in the reservoir, through which at least one fire-extinguishing agent is delivered by means of direct supply at the liquid combustible surface from the fire-extinguishing system.

EFFECT: invention provides for efficiency and reliability of reservoir fire protection system with liquid combustibles.
