Creation of a structurally unified series of isulating heat and environment resistant suits of autonomous type for firefighters

Abstract

Анализ тушения пожаров на химически опасных объектах показывает, что для обеспечения комплексной надежной защиты человека необходим широкий ассортимент специальной защитной одежды изолирующего типа (СЗО ИТ) для различных условий эксплуатации. Одним из возможных путей его быстрого создания является разработка конструктивно-унифицированных рядов (КУР) таких изделий. Сформирован подход к созданию КУР термоагрессивостойких костюмов (ТАСК) для пожарных, в основе которого лежит блочно-модульный принцип, когда, используя базовое изделие, готовят последующие его модификации с различными характеристиками. Конструктивно-унифицированный подход к созданию модельного ряда ТАСК позволяет поддерживать характеристики изделия на требуемом уровне без серьезных конструктивных изменений, только совершенствуя технологии, материалы, в соответствии с условиями эксплуатации и требованиями заказчиков. Analysis of fire extinguishing at chemically hazardous facilities shows that to provide comprehensive, reliable human protection, a wide range of special protective clothing of the insulating type (SPC IT) is necessary for various operating conditions. One of the possible ways of its creation is the development of structurally unified series (SUS) of such products. There is developed an approach to create a SUS of heat and environment resistant suits (HERS) for firefighters. The creation of a series of products is based on a block-modular principle i.e. on the base of the basic model there are created subsequent modifications with different characteristics. Studies have shown that as an optimal base model for SUS HERS can be HERS produced by AO “PTS”. On the basis of the existing basic model there were carried out researches and design works to develop a wide range of heat and environment resistant suits for various working conditions, which increase the performance efficiency for every suit type. This principle, if necessary, allows to replace some components of personal protective equipment for different tasks. The design-unified approach to the creation of HERS model range allows to keep the product characteristics at the required level without major structural changes, only by improving technologies, materials in accordance with the operating conditions and customer requirements. At the same time, there are eliminated difficulties when operating HERS, included in SUS, in fire departments of various types, in particular, when using, washing, dry cleaning, drying, storage. The organizational and technical system of HERS operation is being improved, including such components as training and the procedure of operation accounting, service life, terms of repair, write-off and replacement of components as well as restoration of protective properties while operating and repair engineering.
