Hazardous material leak training simulator
| Details |
Inventors: Schwechel, Donald J.;
Assignee: Miller Brewing Company (Milwaukee, WI)
Primary Examiner: Smith; Jeffrey A.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Quarles & Brady
A simulator for training emergency response personnel in handling hazardous materials leaks includes a housing with a door. A cylinder, of a type used to contain a hazardous material, is within the housing and has a leak hole intentionally made therein. The cylinder includes a standard outlet valve, a regulator and a hose connected to the housing. In addition, the cylinder has been modified with a first fitting through which air can be introduced and a second fitting through which water can be introduced. Conduits are provided to supply air and water to the first and second fittings, respectively, in order to force air and/or water into the cylinder and exit through the hole to simulate a hazardous materials leak. A fog generator produces fog within the housing to simulate a gas haze of a material leak. Electrical devices normally found in housing for these cylinders also can be provided. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A general object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for simulating hazardous material leaks for training emergency response personnel.
Another object is to provide such an apparatus which creates a non-toxic, non-hazardous simulation of such hazardous material leaks.
A further object of the present invention is to provide such a hazardous material leak simulator which is able to replicate different types of leaks for training exercises.
These and other objects are satisfied by a hazardous material leak simulator which includes a housing having a door.
A container, of a type which commonly is used to contain a hazardous material, is located inside the housing and has an outlet connected by a first conduit to the housing.
A hole is intentionally made in the container to provide a leak where the container contents escape.
The container has a fitting through which a fluid, such as compressed air or water, can be introduced into the container.
A second conduit is connected to the fitting to supply the fluid thereto.
In the preferred embodiment, a pair of fittings and conduits are provided so that both air and water can be fed into the container in order to simulate either a gas or a liquid leak.
Another aspect of the present invention is to be able to simulate a haze produced when certain chemicals leak into the atmosphere.
To accomplish that simulation, a fog generator is attached to inject fog through an opening in the housing.
A conventional fog machine as used in theatrical productions is connected to an opening in a closed chest that contains a frozen substance, such as dry ice.
An outlet opening of the chest is coupled to the opening in the housing.
The frozen substance cools the fog so that the fog will drop to the bottom of the housing in the same manner as haze from many chemical leaks.
In the preferred embodiment of the simulator, the housing is provided with an electrical circuit, having a power shut-off switch, a light, receptacles and a heater
