A ventilation louver (10) includes a first plate (52) defining a first opening (74) therein for permitting fluid flow along a first direction (128), a second plate (54) defining a vane (82) therein, the vane at least partially covering the first opening and directing the fluid flow along a second direction (130), non-parallel to the first direction, and a third plate (56) defining a louvered opening (108) therein wherein the louvered opening directs fluid flow along a third direction (138), non-parallel to both the first direction and the second direction. In a non-limiting example, the ventilation louver may be disposed in a belly fairing of an aircraft.

A device for limiting consequences of a fire, in a room, including a reservoir including a vessel containing a liquid, the reservoir including one or more chambers in communication with a storage cell and one or more other chambers. The reservoir also includes at least a first overflow tank and at least a second overflow tank, both integral, placed on either side of the reservoir, each tank configured to receive the liquid when the liquid exceeds a predetermined given height in the vessel.

The flame arrester is optimized for installation within fuel containers. The flame arrester has an optional elongate, generally cylindrical skeletal frame having opposing first and second ends. The first end is configured as a mounting flange adapted for permanent, immovable installation within the tank or container and the second end may include a spring-loaded check valve. The frame is covered by a woven or nonwoven textile material, or alternatively, by a porous or foraminous sheet material. Fuel and vapors pass through the cylindrical textile wall, the porosity of the textile serving to prevent flame propagation through the textile material. The pore size is between 0.4 mm and 3.2 mm.

The invention relates to flame protection filters (F) consisting of a number of layer sequences (S1, S2, S3), wherein each of the layer sequences (S1, S2, S3) consists of filter layers (1, 2) arranged one on top of the other. Every layer sequence (S1, S2, S3) consists of a first filter layer (1) and a second filter layer (2) made from a material arranged in the shape of a grating with openings (1.1, 2.1) having an opening width (1.11, 2.11) in each instance. The first filter layer (1) having a free lateral surface (6.3) is a first end filter layer (3) with a first end filter opening width (3.11) and the second filter layer (2) having a free lateral surface (6.4) is a second end filter layer (4) with a second end filter opening width (4.11). The second opening width (2.11) of a second filter layer (2) is smaller than the first opening width (1.11) of a first filter layer (1). The second filter layer (2) is opaque. The invention further relates to an arrangement (10) of at least two flame protection filters (F1, F2) and a housing (9) which is encapsulated in a pressure-tight manner and with at least one flame protection filter (F, F1, F2).

A volatile liquid storage container has combustion resistance properties from a flexible sock or tube constructed of fire resistant fibers coupled to a neck of the storage container to prevent flame flash-back into the storage container. The storage container defines an enclosed volume having an orifice in the container material leading to a neck for pouring and filling the enclosed volume for exchanging the contents therein. The tube is elongated and surrounds a circumference of the orifice for engaging any ignition source entering through the orifice. The flexible nature of the tube or sock allows it to extend to an opposed interior surface of the enclosed volume, and ensures that the tube or sock is immersed in the fluid for encircling any ignition path to the volatile liquid without interfering with an ability to pour or refill the container.

A flame trap filter including a grid structure, wherein the grid structure determines grid openings which are bordered by intersecting strip sections, and/or wherein the grid structure is formed by a laid scrim. A method for producing a grid structure of a flame trap filter includes the step of allowing a substance to solidify on a substrate, in order to form at least one strip section of the grid structure. Alternatively or in addition, the method includes the step of compressing a material for the flame trap filter or a semi-finished product of the flame trap filter at points, e.g. by mechanically deforming the material or the semi-finished product, in order to form at least one strip section of the grid structure.
