Filed: 2000-07-07
Granted: 2003-06-16
Abstract: It is based on the use of fresh water available in the storage tank of the ship (11) and saltwater from the sea (2), which are propelled by corresponding pressure groups (3-12) towards a homogenizing tank (10) through a mixing valve (8, 17 and 9) so that it is regulated depending on the desired degree of salinity of the resulting mixture. It is controlled at all times by a salinity cell (31) assisting a conductivimeter (32) and acting upon flow regulating valves (8, 17 and 9) that control the resulting amount of fresh water and saltwater. Moreover, an ozone generator (19) that is assisted by an air dryer (20) supplies ozone to the homogenizing tank (10) serving as germicidal device through an ejector (21).

Title: Device and method for fire-prevention and for extinguishing a fire that has broken out in an enclosed area
Inventor: WAGNER ERNST-WERNER
IPC: A62C99/00
Filed: 2008-07-29
Granted: 2012-03-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for fire-prevention and for extinguishing a fire in an enclosed area (10), in particular a laboratory area, in which a permanent negative pressure has been established, wherein the atmosphere of said area is supplied with fresh air in a controlled manner as incoming air and waste air is evacuated from the atmosphere of said area in a controlled manner and wherein in the event of fire or to prevent a fire, an extinguishing agent, which is gaseous under normal conditions, is fed into the atmosphere of the area as incoming air.
