FIELD: fire safety.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of fire and explosion prevention, as well as protection from damage factors formed, when breaking through a protective barrier; it can be used for introduction in a wide range of military and civilian vehicles of different types and on stationary objects (in buildings). The most efficiency of the proposed system is achieved, when operating in a preventive fire extinguishing mode, described in detail in a patent claim “Method for preventive fire extinguishing with subsequent suppression of conditions for ignition of fuel-air mixture and existing fire load from secondary ignition sources” registered under No. 2021106981/20(015084). In a usual operating mode (generally accepted for today), after receiving a signal for starting the system, the use of fire-fighting-anti-fragmentation cushions filled with a fire-extinguishing agent, made using special fire-resistant materials resistant to ballistic effects is activated, and, at the same time, a free space is filled with the fire-extinguishing agent. If necessary, actuating devices (mechanisms) of the fire extinguishing system are reactivated for suppression of secondary ignition sources, and main power supply lines of the damaged compartment (if it is possible, and it was not performed before) are disconnected. The important thing is that, after the end of “fire alarm”, it is possible to recuperate the fire extinguishing agent in a container of the fire extinguishing system (especially from a volume of cushions).
EFFECT: high-speed “absorption” by cushions of a “free” volume of a protected compartment and creation of conditions of physical and chemical impossibility of free distribution of a fuel-air mixture in the protected compartment, and combined (cushions and a fire-extinguishing agent) suppression of conditions for fire and explosion, limitation of distribution of dangerous fire factors, as well as possibility of the use of fire-extinguishing agents dangerous or undesired for a human inside cushions.
