| Abstract | The invention relates to a test unit for simulating fires, formed on the basis of an enclosure (1) in the form of a closed compartment with a floor, walls and ceiling made from reinforced concrete parts, which has an access area (2) located at one end of the enclosure (1), a central area (3) with side doors (4) and provided with an outflow passage (5) and one or more deflectors (6) for controlling the air and smoke, and a furnace area (7) covered in refractive material with a cleaning door (8) located at the opposite end of the enclosure (1). Said enclosure (1) incorporates temperature and smoke level probes (13), and all the electrical elements and probes (13) of the enclosure (1) are connected to a control panel (26) connected to a computer (28) that collects all the data supplied by such elements. |

| Claim | A test unit for simulating fires which, being applicable for studying the behavior of fire in different situations and providing a training and study tool, is characterized by being formed on the basis of an enclosure (1) in the form of a closed compartment with a floor, walls and ceiling made from reinforced concrete parts, which has an access area (2) located at one end of the enclosure (1), a central area (3) with side doors (4) and provided with an outflow passage (5) and one or more deflectors (6) for controlling the air and smoke, and a furnace area (7) covered in refractive material with a cleaning door (8) located at the opposite end of the enclosure (1); in that said enclosure (1) incorporates temperature and smoke level probes (13); and in that all the electrical elements and probes (13) of the enclosure (1) are connected to a control panel (26) connected to a computer (28) that collects all the data supplied by such elements. The test unit for simulating fires according to claim 1, characterized in that the enclosure (1) is formed on the basis of several modules (1 a, 1 b, 1 c, 1 d, 1 e) connected to one another. The test unit for simulating fires according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the access area (2), which is accessed through respective access doors (9), has a concrete partition (10) separating said access area (2) from the central area (3) of the enclosure, a wood door (11) having been provided therein. The test unit for simulating fires according to claim 3, characterized in that the separating partition (10) also has a window (12). The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the probes (13) are distributed throughout the entire enclosure (1) arranged in groups, vertically distributed at different heights from the floor. The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that each of the side doors (4) is horizontally split into two portions that can be opened independently of one another or at the same time. The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the deflectors (6) are fixed in the ceiling of the enclosure and are electrically and manually operated through an external lever (14). The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the outflow passage is an opening in the upper part of the central area (3) of the enclosure (1), with approximate dimensions of 1 x 1 m and having a closure with electrical and manual control through another external lever (14'). The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that the furnace area (7) has a rib (21) at the level of about 1 m for placing boards used as combustible material in the fire simulation. The test unit for simulating fires according to claim 9, characterized in that in the rib (21) there is provided a mesh (22) that is separated from the concrete face (23) and acts like lattice behind which there is a gap (24) for placing the boards or other elements. The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 10, characterized in that the cleaning door (8) is made of concrete and has an angle iron (25). The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 11, characterized in that the enclosure (1) has a water spraying system comprising the incorporation of nozzles (17) connected, by means of branch ducts (18), to a pipe (19) which is in turn connected to a water tank or to the intake point of the supply system. The test unit for simulating fires according to claim 12, characterized in that there is an electrovalve opening all the nozzles (17) distributed throughout all the areas of the enclosure (1). The test unit for simulating fires according to any of claims 1 to 13, characterized in that the control panel (26) is located in a hut (27) formed by a concrete module with closed faces and an access door, which is arranged attached to the enclosure (1) or is arranged at another point located away from same, in any case entirely independent of the enclosure (1). The test unit for simulating fires according to claim 14, characterized in that should the hut (27) be arranged attached to the enclosure, it has a front face (29) formed by a meter-high concrete transom and pane of glass closing the rest of the face. The test unit for simulating fires according to claims 1 and 14, characterized in that the enclosure (1) and the control hut (27) have a galvanized sheet metal roof (30), being a single pitch roof with a slope of about 2%. |
