Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present application relates to the field of hazardous waste gas treatment, and specifically to a VOC explosion-proof and fire-retardant pipeline made of thermosetting, flame-retardant, and static-free materials. Background technology:

[0002] Fires caused by flammable gases can be classified into the following types according to the form of flames: (1) Unrestricted deflagration, that is, uncontrollable deflagration, which usually occurs when flammable gases outside containers or equipment are ignited. For example, a local cloud of flammable gas may gather near the exhaust port or breathing valve of an oil storage tank; if there is a fire source, such as lightning strikes, cigarette butts or static sparks, the gas may be ignited, causing the flame wave to enter the equipment through the container outlet and cause combustion and explosion. (2) Restricted deflagration refers to when the flammable mixed gas in the pipeline is ignited, the flame wave front will be transmitted along the pipeline at a subsonic speed, which is called restricted deflagration. This situation may occur in science and technology industrial factories, chemical plants and various industries; for example, many underground coal mines produce flammable or toxic methane gas, which is often discharged through pipelines using blowers to supply boiler heating. When there is a problem with the boiler or the transmission system, the flammable gas in the pipeline may be ignited and flash back along the pipeline, causing an explosion underground. (3) Detonation refers to the situation where the flame explodes along the pipeline and after a certain distance, it propagates at supersonic speed and generates a shock wave. This is usually caused by turbulence caused by rough pipe walls, curved obstacles, valves and changes in pipe size, which accelerate the flame. If the flame continues to accelerate along the pipeline for a sufficient distance, an explosion may also occur.

[0003] According to the above fire situations, in the prior art, in order to ensure the safety of the system, emergency relief valves are usually installed at key locations to release the pressure when the system pressure or vacuum exceeds the set pressure of the valve. When overpressure occurs, the stressed valve core moves, releasing the seal between the valve seat and the valve core, allowing steam / gas to pass through the orifice of the valve, releasing the pressure or vacuum. Once the release is complete, the valve is re-closed and remains sealed.

[0004] On the other hand, according to the above fire situations, in the prior art, in order to ensure the safety of the system, explosion-proof flame arresters are installed on the pipeline. Explosion-proof flame arresters are divided into explosion-type and detonation-type flame arresters, which mainly rely on structural characteristics to buffer the explosion pressure to protect the pipeline. Due to its complex structure and the exponential growth of explosion pressure with the length and diameter of the pipeline, flame arresters for large-sized pipelines are "sky-high", which is difficult for many companies to accept. Summary of the invention:

[0005] Purpose of the invention:

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide an innovative pipeline flame arrester that relies on the performance of special fragile materials to better and more economically protect pipelines.

[0027] Note in the figure:

[0028] 1 crushable material section; 2 fire-retardant section; 3 air holes; 4 fire-retardant disk. Specific implementation method:

[0029] The technical idea of ​​the present application is to provide an explosion-proof and fire-blocking device arranged in a combustible exhaust gas pipeline. When deflagration, detonation, etc. occur in the pipeline, the device absorbs the impact force of the explosion through crushable materials and quickly releases pressure, thereby replacing the role of the pressure relief valve in conventional means. On the other hand, a fire-blocking disk is arranged between two sections of crushable materials to prevent the spread of flames.

[0030] The technical solution of this application is described below with several embodiments:

[0031] Example 1

[0032] In this example, the device is generally a three-section structure, specifically including:

[0033] The crushable material sections 1 at both ends and the fire-blocking section 2 in the middle; the function of the crushable material section is to absorb the kinetic energy of the explosion and quickly release the pressure.

[0034] The air hole 3 is a through hole that penetrates the crushable material section and the fire-blocking section;

[0035] A fire-blocking disk 4 is provided in the hole on the fire-blocking section;

[0036] The crushable material section is movably connected to the fire-blocking section;

[0037] The fire-blocking plate is a detachable multi-piece structure, which is composed of a plurality of fire-blocking plates stacked together. The fire-blocking plates are provided with fire-extinguishing gaps, and the fire-extinguishing gaps of the fire-blocking plates are arranged in a staggered manner, so as to facilitate disassembly, cleaning and maintenance. The function of the fire-blocking plate is to prevent combustion and diffusion in the pipeline.

[0038] The crushable material is formed by pressing particles with a particle size of 4-5 mm, the core of the particles is graphite polystyrene foamed particles, and the outside of the particles is coated with silicate cement and fly ash.

[0039] In this case, the crushable material must meet the following technical indicators:

[0040]

[0041] And the following antistatic and flame retardant indicators:

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] Example 2

[0045] This example adds the following technical features based on Example 1:

[0046] The VOC explosion-proof flame arrester is provided with a plurality of pores in a "honeycomb" shape. Further, the pores are evenly distributed, and the number of the pores is 4, 7 or 9.

[0047] The fire-blocking pipe is divided into three sections: crushable material section, fire-blocking plate, and crushable material section. The fire-blocking pipe adopts a honeycomb-shaped gas transportation method. The honeycomb shape can increase the contact area between the gas and the crushable material, better absorb the kinetic energy of the explosion, and make the pressure relief more uniform, reducing and averaging the pressure release in all directions, reducing subsequent damage.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] This example adds the following technical features based on Example 1:

[0050] The fire-blocking section and the crushable material section are both cylindrical, the diameter of the fire-blocking section is smaller than the diameter of the crushable material section, the fire-blocking section is embedded in the crushable material sections on both sides, and the joints of the two crushable material sections are bonded by an adhesive. The adhesive can be marble glue or a similar product. This structure conceals the fire-blocking section in the crushable material, has a stronger appearance, and is easier to install or adapt to the pipeline.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] This example is another connection form for Example 3, the diameter of the fire-blocking section is larger than the diameter of the crushable material section, and the crushable material section is embedded in the grooves on both sides of the fire-blocking section. Different from Example 3, the middle section of the finished product will have a protruding ring formed by the fire-blocking section, and the fire-blocking section plays a role similar to a connector, connecting the two crushable material sections in the middle. The connection strength is more reliable than that of Example 3, and it is also easier to replace the fire-blocking disc in the fire-blocking section.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] Based on other embodiments, the fire-blocking section is a "honeycomb" stainless steel disc with multiple pores in the axial direction, and a fire-blocking disc is placed in the pores. Stainless steel is an ideal material choice for the fire-blocking section, and a detachable fire-blocking disc is placed in the honeycomb pores.

[0055] Example 6

[0056] On the basis of the above embodiments, the crushable material is subjected to anti-static treatment.
