AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology describes an improved flammable liquids (FL) propellant composition called Foam Prep made up from different types of materials like alcohol/water mixtures. By adding this type of material during manufacturing processes, the resulting FL becomes stronger due to its unique structure formed when combined together. Additionally, the process involves combining both gases and liquids at once, allowing them to mix evenly throughout create stable foams while minimizing any instabilities caused by their combination. These technical benefits include increased efficiency, safety, durability, and longer life span of the fuel product itself.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discusses two technical problem addressed during developing new types of flame retardants: (1) Existing fire preventive measures require expensive infrastructure investments due to their complexity and potential failure modes, (2) Current fire safety standards mandate specific levels of fire suppression with multiple small containers containing different chemical agents like water, fuel, and fission products, making them difficult targets because they could spread over vast distances without being affected even if only one container suffocated.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The invention provides a method and a system for generating foam by mixing a gas-liquid two-phase equilibrium flow and a foaming substance. In the system, CO 2 The foam mixture is mixed twice, the first time is in the first foam generation room CO 2 The gas-liquid two-phase equilibrium flow is mixed with the foam mixture, and the mixing method is porous axial rotating jet mixing; the second time is in the second foam generation chamber, the gaseous CO 2 Secondary mixing with the foam after primary foaming, the mixing method is porous horizontal jet mixing; the pressure in the first foam generation chamber is relatively high, and the pressure in the second foam generation chamber is low. Through this secondary mixing method, the system produces The size of the foam is more uniform, and the control and adjustment of the expansion ratio is more flexible and convenient. The CO proposed by the present invention 2 The gas-liquid two-phase equilibrium flow is used as the gas...

Abstract

The invention provides a positive pressure foam fire extinguishing system based on two-phase flow drive and a foam generation method. The positive pressure foam fire extinguishing system based on two-phase flow drive mainly solves the problem that an existing positive pressure foam fire extinguishing system is complicated, low in reliability, limited in gas supply amount and incapable of evenly mixing a drive medium and foam mixed solution. According to the positive pressure foam fire extinguishing system based on two-phase flow drive, a liquid storage tank is connected with a first gasifier,a second gasifier and a liquid pipeline, an outlet medium of the first gasifier is used for driving a pneumatic water pump to rotate, and the medium completing driving work enters a second foam generating chamber, an inlet of the pneumatic water pump is connected with the water tank, and an outlet of the pneumatic water pump is connected with an inlet of a foam proportional container; an outlet ofthe second gasifier is connected with an outlet of the liquid pipeline in parallel and then generates gas-liquid equilibrium two-phase flow, and the gas-liquid equilibrium two-phase flow enters an inlet of a first foam generation chamber; a foam raw solution storage tank is connected to the foam proportional container, the foam proportional container is connected to the first foam generating chamber, the first foam generating chamber is connected to the second foam generating chamber, and the second foam generating chamber is connected with a spraying device.
