Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of fire-fighting technology and can be used for protecting equipment and persons when extinguishing fires, for dividing the volume of buildings in surface or underground structures or installations into fire-proof compartments, for providing protection against the collapse of ceiling structures and for locating the progression of the flame front in large-scale fires resulting in ecological disasters. The purpose of this invention is to develop a method for attenuating with an improved efficiency the energy flow consisting of light, heat and convection gas flows, and to develop a device of the gun-carriage type for creating a thermal-radiation protection screen which is more reliable, harmless and easy to implement and which provides protection against light radiation and convection gas flows. This method involves creating a curtain of a cooling liquid that is sprayed into space between surfaces. When creating more than one curtain, the method involves using a combined supply of cooling liquid. One of the curtains is formed by spraying the liquid, while the following curtains are formed by supplying an aerated mechanical or chemical foam. The device includes a mounting assembly, a spraying unit as well as grids arranged on both sides of a frame so as to define a gap. Nozzles are further mounted in the openings formed in the tubes of the frame.

Granted: 2011-11-15
Abstract: A method of handling grey water and optionally at least a portion of the black water for disposal from vehicles such as boats, recreational vehicles or rural dwellings such as cottages, camps and the like, not having direct access to sewer systems, involves the treatment of such waste water with ozone. A batch system is used whereby a predetermined quantity of water to be treated is captured in a treatment tank. A circulating pump withdraws water from the tank and pushes the water along a treatment conduit, the conduit containing an ozone/water mixer and returns the water to the treatment tank. The treatment conduit has a discharge valve that is maintained in a closed position for a selected period of time. Ozone is fed to the ozone/water mixer from an ozone generator which is advantageously fitted with an air pump to pressurize the feed gas. After the selected treatment time, the batch is discharged to waste through the discharge valve. Advantageously, the ozone generator can also be used to disinfect raw water from a lake or stream to enhance its usability on board a vessel or in a rural dwelling.
