[0002] Pool fire accidents are one of the typical safety accidents in industrial production processes. The thermal radiation and heat flow generated by fire accidents will directly or indirectly affect safety-related buildings (structures), systems and components, and may even further cause explosion accidents. Therefore, it is crucial to study the distribution of temperature fields and heat release in pool fire accidents. Currently, the temperature field distribution and heat release can be obtained through calculations using some simulation software. However, there is still a certain gap between the temperature field distribution and heat release data obtained by simulation software and the temperature field distribution and heat release data obtained by actual measurements. Of course, the data obtained by actual measurements are more accurate.

[0003] Therefore, in order to facilitate the acquisition of temperature conditions at different locations, the inventors have designed a method for testing the temperature distribution and estimating heat release of pool fire combustion in a confined space. Summary of the Invention

[0095] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for testing the combustion temperature distribution and heat release estimation of a pool fire in a confined space, the method comprising the following steps:

[0096] S1. Design a thermocouple tree: Set up a thermocouple tree consisting of multiple thermocouples bundled together, receive the data signals measured by the thermocouples through a data acquisition card and transmit them to a computer for storage;

[0097] like Figure 2As shown, this embodiment measures the temperature distribution of a pool fire by designing a thermocouple tree consisting of three or more thermocouples bundled together. The number of thermocouples in the tree is proportional to the height of the combustion chamber. The thermocouple tree is suspended in the combustion chamber and protected by a stainless steel sleeve fixed to the top of the combustion chamber to prevent the thermocouples from moving. The thermocouple temperature probes face downward, and the temperature compensation wires of each thermocouple are passed through a wire hole in the top of the combustion chamber. The data signals measured by the thermocouples are received by a data acquisition card and transmitted to a computer for storage.

[0098] S2. Distributed temperature measurement points: Arrange thermocouple trees and set temperature measurement points according to the requirements of the central fire and / or side wall fire in the combustion chamber to obtain the temperature distribution in the combustion chamber.

[0099] A center fire is a simulation of a fire accident caused by flammable liquid leaking onto the combustion chamber floor, forming an oil pool (i.e., an oil pan) at the center of the floor. A fire simulation in which the center of gravity of the oil pool is at the center of the floor is considered a center fire.

[0100] The sidewall fire is a simulation test that simulates a fire accident caused by flammable liquid leaking onto the ground and gathering into an oil pool near the sidewall surface. The oil pool is considered to be close to the sidewall surface when the edge of the burning pool is adjacent to the sidewall surface.

[0101] In this embodiment, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0102] S21. Arrange the thermocouple tree described in step S1 in the combustion chamber. The dimensions of the combustion chamber are: length × width × height = a × b × c, where a, b, and c are all in meters. This embodiment needs to take into account the requirements of the combustion chamber center fire and / or side wall fire. The plane layout is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown. Arrange thermocouple trees starting from the center axis of the oil pan: for center fires, place a thermocouple tree every 0.5m; for side wall fires within a distance b / 2 from the center axis of the oil pan, place a thermocouple tree every 0.5m; for fires outside a distance b / 2 from the center axis of the oil pan, place a thermocouple tree every 1m.

[0103] S22. Estimation of flame height: The actual shape of the oil pan is diverse, so the actual area needs to be estimated. The diameter of the equivalent circle is calculated based on the area of ​​the oil pan. The flame height can be estimated using the relationship between the flame height and the oil pan diameter in formula (1):

[0104]

[0105] Where, L is the flame height, m;

[0106] D—equivalent diameter of oil pan, m;

[0107] —dimensionless heat release rate;

[0122] x—combustion efficiency, taking the maximum value x=1.0;

[0123] —Solution burning rate, kg / s;

[0124] A f —Oil pan area, m 2 ;

[0125] —Solution burning rate, kg / (m 2 ·s), refer to the kerosene calculation formula 0.022(1-e -4.5D );

The thermocouples set at the temperature measurement points in the flame are 5mm diameter armored K-type thermocouples with a measuring range of 0 to 1300°C; in a closed or semi-sealed space, the thermocouples set at the temperature measurement points in the area outside the flame are all 1mm armored K-type thermocouples. When c / 8>0.5m, then, in addition to the flame area, a temperature measurement point is set at a spacing of every 0.5m along the height direction of the combustion chamber (i.e., thermocouples are arranged); when c / 8≤0.5m, then, in addition to the flame area, a temperature measurement point is set at a spacing of every c / 8 along the height direction of the combustion chamber (i.e., thermocouples are arranged).

[0128] S24. Obtaining the temperature distribution in the combustion chamber: The temperature data measured by the thermocouple can be used to calculate the temperature distribution at different locations on the central axis of the combustion chamber by using the point distance inverse interpolation method, or the temperature distribution results in the combustion chamber can be directly fitted using the contour module of the Origin curve software.

The first heat flux density sensor monitors the heat flux density horizontally in the plane of the flame center, while the second heat flux density sensor monitors the heat flux density at a 45° angle to the horizontal plane of the flame center. The horizontal distance between the monitoring point of the first and second heat flux density sensors and the center of the combustion pool flame is adjusted according to the actual oil pan size. The distance increases with the size of the oil pan to prevent the flame from burning the sensors.
