SAFETY SYSTEM FOR AUTOCLAVES
First Claim
1. A safety system for autoclaves for making an inside of their inner chamber inert, comprising at least one capsule in turn comprising sodium azide, NaN3, which produces a high-speed chemical reaction when it reaches an activation temperature, releasing nitrogen in the form of gas, making the chamber inert.

Abstract
A system for making an autoclave inert such that flame propagation is prevented in the event of spontaneous internal combustion, which thus prevents damaging the actual system or equipment, tools and parts, for which it essentially has sodium azide capsules which produce a chemical reaction when they reach an activation temperature, releasing nitrogen, making the chamber inert, venting equipment to prevent damage due to overpressure inside the chamber when the capsules have come into action and released the gas, a main cooling circuit and an additional cooling circuit for the capsules, all of this automatically controlled and managed by a control device.
