  • Patent number: 8881840
    Abstract: Fire protection device for gangways 3 between the coaches 2 of rail vehicles with a gangway 3 between coaches 2 of a rail vehicle, and a fluid-fed fire-fighting device. Effective fire-fighting with low weight is made due to the fact the fire-fighting device comprises a fluid mist nozzle 4 which delivers a fluid mist, whereby the at least one fluid mist nozzle 4 is arranged in such a way that the fluid mist is sprayed into the gangway 3.

  • Patent number: 8590631
    Abstract: The invention relates to a railway vehicle comprising a fire-fighting system having a supply container for extinguishing agent, a system of pipes, means for dispensing extinguishing agent, and a pressure-generating means. To improve the reliability of this system, it is proposed that the pressure-generating means be coupled to a compressed-air supply belonging to the railway vehicle, that a quiescent pressure can be generated in the system of pipes with the help of the pressure-generating means, and that a case of fire can be detected by means of a pressure drop in the system of pipes.

  • Publication number: 20100132963
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a fire fighting device, wherein at least one extinguishing fluid container 2 is pressurized with propellant for releasing an extinguishing fog via at least one extinguishing fog nozzle 4, and wherein at least one extinguishing gas nozzle 6 is pressurized with propellant, wherein the pressurization of the extinguishing fluid container 2 and the extinguishing gas nozzle 6 takes place via a joint propellant supply 8. To render possible targeted pressurization with either extinguishing fluid or extinguishing gas, the invention proposes that optionally only the extinguishing fluid container 2 or only the extinguishing gas nozzle 6 is pressurized with propellant via the joint propellant supply 8.
