Embodiment

[0051] Embodiment: (referring to figure 1 , figure 2 )

[0052] A square oil pan with a side length of 50cm×50cm×50cm was selected as the experimental oil pan. The selected density is 720kg / m 3 Gasoline is used as fuel to produce a gasoline fire, and the height of the oil level is 30cm from the bottom of the oil pan.

[0053] Choose 304 stainless steel as the metal material to make hollow metal balls. The yield strength of 304 stainless steel is 205MPa. When the outer diameter of the designed metal ball is 10cm, according to the relationship (1), calculate the wall thickness of the hollow metal ball δ ≥ 0.48mm, select δ = 0.5mm.

[0054] Then according to the relation (2), calculate The number of layers of metal balls used in the design is n=2, because the density of 304 stainless steel is 7930kg / m 3 ,but It can be found that the design meets the requirements of relation (2).

[0055] Since it is designed to use 2 layers of metal balls with an outer diameter of 10 ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a using method of hollow metal balls for auxiliary fire extinguishing of a full-liquid-level fire of a storage tank. The size and the thickness of the hollow metal balls are selected according to the metal yield strength, the metal density and the liquid fuel density; when fire extinguishing is conducted by means of the metal balls, the outer diameter, the wall thickness, the yield strength and the layer number of the metal balls and the density of a metal material are selected, and selected parameters need to meet the given relation. By adopting the hollow metal balls, flame of a liquid pool fire can be significantly inhibited without using any fire extinguishing agents, therefore, the flame of the fire is reduced, combustion radiation is reduced, the risk of igniting other combustibles is reduced, the foam loss rate of a foam extinguishing agent can be decreased, and the hollow metal balls can assist the foam extinguishing agent in extinguishing the full-liquid-level fire of the storage tank.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to fire-fighting equipment, in particular to a method for using a hollow metal ball used for auxiliary fire-extinguishing of a full liquid level fire in a storage tank. Background technique [0002] For the full liquid surface fire of oil tank, present rescue means generally is to use foam fire extinguishing agent to go out. According to the foam ratio, it can be divided into low-expansion foam, medium-expansion foam and high-expansion foam, etc.; according to the type of fire material, alcohol-resistant foam or ordinary foam can be selected. However, in full surface fires of large storage tanks, foam loss is very severe [1] . According to some experts, in the fire of a large storage tank, only about 30% of the foam can reach the burning liquid surface, about 61% of the foam bursts in the fire and loses its effect, and about 9% of the foam directly evaporates and disappears [2] . Thus, for large liquid fires, it is likely that...
