The heat-protective shelter is designed for the use in extinguishing fires of
oil- and gas-gushers instead of the commonly used shelters, which
are made of sheet metal
and placed near the mouths of these gushers. The shelters of sheet metal heat under the attack of heat radiation and becomes a source of such radiation.
Therefore, the degree of attenuation of heat radiation by these shelters is low.
The heat-protective shelter based on the screens «Sogda» almost completely attenuates the heat radiation of gushers (inside the
shelter, a person can be even
in ordinary clothes). In so doing the protective properties of the
heat-protective shelter can be kept unchanged for many days. Thus, the use of
the said heat-protective
shelter provides the most favorable conditions for the relaxation of firemans
performing works in the immediate vicinity of gushers.
