PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HEAT-GENERATING COUNTER-MEASURES AND A PACK CONTAINING HEAT-GENERATING COUNTER-MEASURES

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing heat-generating counter-measures which are intended to be dispensed from sea-based, land-based or air based systems, with heat being generated when an iron compound reacts with oxygen thereby forming iron oxide. The invention also relates to a pack (1) containing heat-generating counter-measures (8) which pack comprises a container (2) and a lid (3), accommodates heat-generating counter-measures and is intended to be dispensed from sea-based, land-based or air-based systems, with heat being generated when the pack (1) is opened, during the dispensing, such that the content of the pack in the form of an iron compound makes contact, and is allowed to react, with oxygen thereby forming iron oxide and heat. According to the invention, the iron compound which is to react with oxygen consists of iron sulphide. The invention provides a less complicated process for producing heat-generating counter-measures, which process does not require the use of vacuum chambers or special spaces containing a protective atmosphere and which, at the same time, makes it possible to produce reliable packs which have an effective action.
