2. INTRODUCTION
3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The VSR System consist of a strong rectangular aluminium
profile with a section area of 280 cm2. The underside of the
rail is an open area sealed with rubber lips. The profile is hung
in two (2) bearing loaded trolleys at each support. The profile
is connected to the ducts system by a 160mm/6,3” flexible
hose. The front opening of the profile has a V formed catcher
to accommodate the stack adapter, mounted on the vertical
exhaust pipe. The exhaust cone converts the round shape of
the exhaust pipe to be flat without changing the section area.
As the returning fire engine drives in to the station the catcher
and the profile align themselves to the exhaust pipe position.
This movement is created via the bearing loaded runners
sliding in the C profile of the support leg. The C-profile hangs
in two adjustable vertical legs mounted to the general roof
structure. The support legs allow the VSR to have a lateral
movement from two separate points of 2 feet side to side.
As the fire engine drives out of the station the exhaust pipe
glides along the profile, between the rubber lips, up to the
point the vehicle drives out of the station.
A spring is connected between the support legs C-profile and
aluminium profile to move the rail into its central rest posi-
tion.The VSR System is equipped with safety wires capable of
carrying the complete system.
As the vehicles continue into the station, the exhaust pipe gli-
des along the rubber sealed profile until the vehicle is parked.
All of the poisonous exhaust gases being contained in the
profile under vacuum, to be extracted by a fan to the outside
of the building. Upon a call-out, the vehicles glide out of the
profile in a similar way, and the track resumes it’s natural
position by the use of mounting springs.
