The invention relates to a method for fighting a fire event. According to the invention, the following method steps are proposed:

Method for fighting a fire event and system for carrying out the method

The invention relates to a water extinguishing system with a fluid supply for providing an extinguishing fluid, a pump which is configured to pump the extinguishing fluid from the fluid supply into a supply line of a pipe system of the water extinguishing system, a test line which branches off from the supply line of the pipe system and is configured to conduct the extinguishing fluid pumped by the pump away from the pipe system, and a fluid bypass line with a cross section reduced in comparison to the cross section of the test line, where the fluid bypass line is configured to conduct a predefined portion of the extinguishing fluid around an opening element of the test line away from the pipe system, where the water extinguishing system further comprises at least one control device which is configured to determine at least one parameter indicative of the cross-section of the fluid bypass line, and to control the pump test run of the pump on the basis of that parameter. The invention further relates to a corresponding control device and a method for controlling a corresponding pump test run.

Water extinguishing system and method for controlling a pump test run in a water extinguishing system

A system for monitoring a pipe network for a fire protection system having an evaluation unit with a communication device, and at least one sensor which is arranged on or within at least one pipe of a plurality of pipes of the pipe network and is in communicative signal connection with the communication device. The at least one sensor is configured to collect measurement data indicative of changes in a hydraulic condition of the at least one pipe and to transmit this measurement data to the communication device of the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is configured to evaluate the measurement data based on assigning the at least one pipe to the specific pipe category in order to generate an evaluation data record indicative of the hydraulic condition of the at least one pipe.

Remote monitoring of a pipe network by means of sensors

The invention relates to a fire-extinguishing facility comprising an extinguishing fluid line for transporting an extinguishing fluid, a plurality of sprinklers connected to the extinguishing fluid line in a fluid-guiding manner which are closed in a standby state and open in an extinguishing state in order to supply the extinguishing fluid, and a flow-measuring device associated with the extinguishing fluid line. According to the invention, the flow-measuring device is designed to approximately detect a volume flow of the extinguishing fluid transported in the extinguishing fluid line, and an evaluation unit is provided and designed to assign a number of open sprinklers to the approximately detected volume flow.

Fire-extinguishing facility, fire-extinguishing system comprising same, and method for determining the extent of a fire

The present invention comprises a device () for monitoring a storage height () of a warehouse (), in particular a shelf warehouse, preferably a high-bay warehouse, comprising at least: a sensor () that is in particular designed to be arranged in an upper region of the warehouse (), wherein the sensor () is configured so as: to perform a distance measurement (D, D) of a distance (D, D) that is substantially horizontal with respect to the warehouse () and that monitors a predefined maximum storage height (), and a measurement and/or control unit () that is configured so as to output a message (F, W) in the event of an exceedance (&#xdc;) of the predefined maximum storage height () being detected by the sensor ().

Device for monitoring a storage height

The invention relates to a water extinguishing system () with a fluid supply (), a pump () and a test line () with an opening element () which is configured to open the test line () during a test run of the pump (). According to the invention, the test line () further comprises a closing element () which is configured to close the test line () if the water extinguishing system () is triggered.

Water extinguishing system and associated method for controlling the water extinguishing system

The invention concerns a method of checking the implementation of maintenance works in a fire extinguishing installation, wherein there is provided an identification () which contains a radio identification means, for example a transponder chip or an NFC tag which is fixedly connected to a unit () to be maintained so that the identification () cannot be non-destructively removed from the unit to be maintained, wherein the identification () contains data of the unit () to be maintained and wherein the unit to be maintained is part of the fire extinguishing installation and has to be uninstalled for maintenance, wherein there is provided a reading unit () with which the identification of the unit () to be maintained and the data thereof are read and wherein the identification () is arranged concealed or shielded on the unit () to be maintained in such a way that the data of the identification cannot be read with the reading unit () when the unit () to be maintained is in the non-uninstalled state.

Method for checking the implementation of maintenance works in fire extinguishing systems

The invention relates to a mist extinguishing system (), comprising a line system () for connecting an extinguishing fluid supply and one or more extinguishing nozzles in a fluid-conducting manner, and a flow generator () for swirling up solids () in the extinguishing fluid and/or for generating an extinguishing fluid flow within a measurement zone () of the line system (), wherein a measuring device () for sensing the solids which are swirled up and/or conveyed through the measurement zone with the extinguishing fluid flow is arranged within the measurement zone (). The invention also relates to a method for monitoring the function of a mist extinguishing system ().
