  • Patent number: 11084067
    Abstract: A mobile decontamination system has an internal combustion engine, a generator, a first pump, a boiler and a second pump. The engine is coupled to the generator and to the first pump. The first pump is designed for discharging a first decontamination medium via a first spray lance. The second pump is designed for discharging a second decontamination medium via a second spray lance. A system controller is designed for selectively operating the first pump and the heating boiler in one of at least two different operating modes. In the first operating mode, the first pump delivers a first volumetric flow through the boiler which is at such a high level that the first decontamination medium is in liquid form. In a second operating mode, the first pump delivers a second volumetric flow through the boiler which is at such a low level that the first decontamination medium transfers into gaseous form.

  • Patent number: 10170210
    Abstract: A device system for military and/or humanitarian operations, in particular a mobile decontamination system, comprises a plurality of power-operated units, accessory parts and operating supplies, which together determine a functional scope of the device system. The power-operated units, accessory parts and operating supplies are mounted on a base plate by means of a retaining structure, said base plate having a defined placement surface and anchoring elements. The anchoring elements enable detachable anchoring of the base plate together with the retaining structure to a transport means, in particular to a transport vehicle. The retaining structure is formed from a plurality of self-supporting, structurally identical, cuboid-shaped frames, which are arranged next to each other and/or on top of each other and are fastened to the base plate. The frames each have eight corner pieces and twelve edge profile elements, which together enclose a defined storage volume.

  • Patent number: 6517639
    Abstract: A method and a device for decontaminating interior spaces are proposed. It is provided here that a base station and at least one mobile subunit are provided, the base station comprising a supply of decontamination agent and fuel and the subunit comprising decontamination equipment and a tank for ready-to-use decontamination agent, that the subunit is supplied with decontamination agent and with fuel at the base station and then transported to the item requiring decontamination of its interior space, the decontamination of the interior space is carried out and subsequently the subunit is returned to the base station to be re-supplied there with decontamination agent and fuel. Also proposed is a device with an off-road, automotive undercarriage with a drive motor, a storage tank for a decontamination liquid and a receiving tank for used decontamination liquid as well as a spray-extraction device for decontaminating the interior surface and with a generator for supplying power.
