METHOD FOR REMOVING EXPLOSIVE GAS FROM INHABITED COMPARTMENTS OF MILITARY TRACKED VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F41H7/00 F41A13/00 F41H7/02 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: method for removing explosive gas from inhabited compartments of military tracked vehicles involves creation of air overpressure with a filtration ventilation plant and withdrawal of the air containing carbon monoxide from inhabited compartments through non-densities in the tank body. When an electric trigger of a coaxial machine gun (a gas source) is being pressed, a signal is supplied via electric wires through a time relay to an electric motor with an impeller, by putting it into operation. At rotation of the motor impeller, air underpressure is created through a one-sided valve in the isolated volume, where the coaxial machine gun (a gas source) is located. The air saturated with explosive gas is sucked out and gases are removed under pressure via a pipeline from isolated volume and inhabited compartments. Isolated volume is made from polymer or rubber-coated fabric or metal.

EFFECT: reduction of degree of content of explosive gas in inhabited compartments of tracked vehicles.
