Method for monitoring valves, in particular valves of a fire fighting system, comprising capturing first sensor signals at a valve in an intact state with a sensor, training the monitoring with the first sensor signals captured at the valve in the intact state, capturing second sensor signals at the valve in an unknown state with the sensor, comparing the trained first sensor signals with the second sensor signals and outputting a signal in case of a deviation of the second sensor signals from the first sensor signals above a limit value.

Provided is a parking space information system including at least one sensor set up for detecting vehicle data of vehicles in the parking space, an evaluation device set up for receiving the detected vehicle data and for determining a drive type of the vehicle depending on the detected vehicle data, and set up for outputting the determined drive type.

Parking space information system

Provided is a parking space management system including a temperature sensor which can be attached to the floor of a parking lot and evaluation unit connected to the temperature sensor. The evaluation unit uses the temperature sensor to evaluate at least one temperature profile in the region of the temperature sensor and outputs a signal depending on the temperature profile.

Fire protection device for gangwaysbetween the coachesof rail vehicles with a gangwaybetween coachesof 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 nozzlewhich delivers a fluid mist, whereby the at least one fluid mist nozzleis arranged in such a way that the fluid mist is sprayed into the gangway

Fire protection device for rail vehicles

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.

Firefighting in railway vehicles

Method for detecting fires in railway vehicles. For detecting fires reliably and with a reduced error rate, it is proposed that compartment air in a railway vehicle be sucked in by means of at least two suctioning devices operated separately from one another, each in a monitoring region, that the monitoring parameter of the compartment air sucked in be evaluated in the suctioning devices and that a first control signal be output on detection of a monitoring parameter threshold value in at least one suctioning device.

Fire detection in railway vehicles

The invention relates to an apparatus for fire-fighting comprising a fire-extinguishing nozzle () connected to an extinguisher fluid supply () via a pipe () and comprising an alarm device () which delivers a warning signal at the beginning of a fire-extinguishing process. In such an apparatus the risk of leaks occurring is reduced and effective alarming of the surroundings at the beginning of the fire-extinguishing process is ensured according to the invention by the fact that the alarm device () comprises a pressure-actuatable switching device connected to the pipe () which triggers the warning signal in the event of an increase in the pressure prevailing in the pipe ().

Fire-fighting device

With a device for extinguishing a fire, with extinguishing nozzles () arranged in areas of a structure, and of a building or a ship in particular, said extinguishing nozzles being connected in each case to a connection end () of a supply line () filled with extinguishing fluid, said supply line connecting the extinguishing nozzles () to an extinguishing fluid supply device, which in the event of a fire imposes on the supply line () extinguishing fluid under pressure, simple and economical means allow for a reliable response, in that a bursting disk () is arranged in the area of the connection end () of the supply line (), which bursts at the attaining of a predetermined bursting pressure of the extinguishing fluid in the supply line (), so that extinguishing fluid flows unimpeded into the extinguishing nozzle (), and in which the supply line () in the position of rest is filled with extinguishing fluid at a pressure of rest which is lower than the bursting pressure.

Device for extinguishing a fire

The invention is for a method for firefighting in which a directed jet of extinguisher foam is applied so as to cover the source of the fire, and to a device suitable for implementing this method. The method and device make it possible to extinguish fires which are spreading in area, while at the same time reducing the risk of uncontrolled spread of the fire. According to the invention, this is achieved in that as a supplement to the jet of extinguisher foam, the apparatus discharges individual jets of a mist of firefighting liquid which cools down the space surrounding the source of the fire.

Method and device for fighting fires

This invention relates to a fire extinguishing device, with at least one supply line ( ) that is dry with the device in an idle state, through which at least one extinguishing nozzle ( ) is connected with an extinguishing fluid supply unit, which fills the supply line ( ) with an extinguishing fluid if a fire breaks out. The device according to the invention makes it possible to improve a device of the kind mentioned at the outset with simple means in such a way that the air contained in the supply line can rapidly escape while filling with a high operational safety. This is achieved by connecting the supply line ( ) with a discharge channel ( ), in which a bursting disk ( ), which seals the discharge channel ( ) in an idle state, and a valve ( ), which closes at a pressure higher than the bursting pressure of the bursting disk ( ), are situated one after the other in the discharge direction (F).
