Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire protection equipment, and in particular to a perfluorohexanone valve and fitting friction loss testing system and method, used to accurately test the friction loss of perfluorohexanone valves and fittings. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the signing and entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol, the Montreal Protocol, and the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, the application of new perfluorohexanone clean gas fire extinguishing equipment has been increasing year by year. However, due to the late start of research on perfluorohexanone gas fire extinguishing equipment in China, there is currently no accurate data on the friction loss of perfluorohexanone valves and fittings.
[0003] GB 25972-2010, section 6.8: National Standard, (1) The test medium used is water, which cannot truly reflect the friction loss of the sample; (2) The use of a water pump cannot completely remove air bubbles from the water flow, resulting in certain deviations in the test data.
[0004] Patent No.: 2020106321800, a patent application for a remotely controllable local resistance loss test system: (1) The test medium used is water, which cannot truly reflect the friction loss of the sample; (2) The water pump used cannot completely remove air bubbles from the water flow, resulting in certain deviations in the test data; (3) It cannot test larger-sized samples.
[0005] Currently, the lack of accurate data on friction loss in perfluorohexanone valves and fittings leads to the following problems:
[0006] 1. It is impossible to perform hydraulic calculations for the piping of perfluorohexanone gas fire extinguishing equipment;
[0007] 2. It is impossible to perform accurate design for actual engineering applications. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Given that existing technologies cannot accurately test the friction loss of samples, and that water testing cannot truly reflect the actual friction loss of samples, this invention provides a perfluorohexanone valve and fitting friction loss testing system and method, which can test the friction loss data of perfluorohexanone valves and fittings, providing basic data for the design of perfluorohexanone gas fire extinguishing equipment.
[0009] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: a perfluorohexanone valve and fitting friction loss testing system, comprising a sample, a system measurement and control pipeline section, and a data acquisition and processing section. The system measurement and control pipeline section is connected as follows: one end of a reciprocating pump is connected sequentially through a test pipeline to a rectifier tank, a vent valve, a shut-off valve, a pipeline vent valve III, a flow meter, the sample, a pipeline vent valve IV, a purge valve, a drain valve, a pipeline vent valve I, a pipeline filling valve, and the other end of the reciprocating pump to form a closed-loop pipeline; a filter III is connected to the pipeline vent valve II, and a pressure transmitter is connected to the shut-off valve. The sensor is connected to the pipeline vent valve III, which is connected to the filter IV. The pipeline vent valve IV is connected to the filter V. The cleaning valve is connected to the air compressor. The drain valve is connected to the vacuum pump and the gauge valve. The gauge valve is connected to the vacuum gauge. The pipeline vent valve I is connected to the filter I. The pipeline filling valve is connected to the storage tank. The storage tank is connected to the storage tank filling valve and the storage tank vent valve. The storage tank vent valve is connected to the filter II. The storage tank filling valve is connected to the vacuum pump and the exhaust valve through the test pipeline.
[0010] The system's measurement and control data acquisition and processing section is connected as follows: the data acquisition unit is connected to the pressure sensor and flow meter via lines, and the frequency converter control cabinet is connected to the vacuum pump, air compressor, and reciprocating pump via lines; the storage tank contains liquid perfluorohexanone gas extinguishing agent.
[0011] A test method for a perfluorohexanone valve and fitting friction loss testing system, comprising the following steps:
[0012] The first step in conducting the test is to install the sample on the test pipeline between the flow meter and the pipeline vent valve IV.
[0013] The second step is to open the pipeline vent valve I, filter I, filter II, liquid storage tank vent valve, filter III, pipeline vent valve II, filter IV, pipeline vent valve III, filter V, and pipeline vent valve IV to put the pipeline in an open state.
[0014] The third step is to open the pipeline filling valve and add perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent to the test pipeline from the storage tank until extinguishing agent overflows from filters I, III, IV and V. Then close the valves of pipeline vent valve I, storage tank vent valve, pipeline vent valve III, pipeline vent valve IV and pipeline filling valve to keep the pipeline in a closed state.
[0015] Fourth step: Open the shut-off valve and connect the pressure sensor to the test pipeline;
[0016] The fifth step involves pre-setting the test flow rate and controlling the reciprocating pump to the set flow rate via a frequency converter control cabinet. Perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent circulates in the test pipeline after passing through the rectifier tank. Pressure sensors and flow meters transmit the collected data to a data acquisition unit. The frequency of the reciprocating pump is controlled by the frequency converter control cabinet to adjust the test flow rate and pressure. The data acquisition unit then collects the sample flow rate. Q / L / min and pressure difference p After obtaining 5 sets of data for each pressure (pa), calculate the friction loss of the sample according to the friction loss calculation formula to confirm whether the sample pressure meets the requirements. During the test, ensure that the flow in the pipeline is turbulent and that the Reynolds number is greater than 1*10. 5 According to the Reynolds number calculation formula, the minimum Reynolds number is 1*10. 5 Substitute the values into the Reynolds number calculation formula to calculate the minimum flow rate during the test;
[0017] Step 6: After the test is completed, open the drain valve, vacuum gauge, gauge valve, vacuum pump, and liquid filling valve of the storage tank to return the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent to the storage tank, and open the vent valve to vent the air.
[0018] The seventh step is to use the frequency converter control cabinet to control the cleaning valve and the air compressor to purge the pipeline. After the test, the sample is reinstalled for the next test.
[0019] The minimum test flow rate mentioned in step 5 is calculated based on the pipe diameter to ensure that the Reynolds number is greater than 1*10. 5 The flow inside the pipeline is turbulent;

[0045] Example 1: Test method for a perfluorohexanone valve and fitting friction loss testing system:
[0046] The first step in the test is to install the perfluorohexanone valve on the test pipeline 29 between the flow meter 23 and the pipeline vent valve Ⅳ26.
[0047] The second step is to open the pipeline vent valve I6, filter I7, filter II9, liquid storage tank vent valve 10, filter III16, pipeline vent valve II17, filter IV21, pipeline vent valve III22, filter V25, and pipeline vent valve IV26 to connect the pipeline to the outside environment and prepare for the refueling of perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent.
[0048] Third, open the pipeline filling valve 12 and add perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent to the test pipeline 29 from the storage tank 11 until extinguishing agent overflows from filters I7, III16, IV21 and V25.

[0049] Fourth step: Open the shut-off valve 20 to connect the pressure sensor 18 to the test pipeline 29.

[0051] Calculate the flow rate, 1*10 5 =S*0.05 / (0.0733*0.39), then the minimum flow velocity S in the pipeline is 5717.4m / s, and the minimum flow rate to meet the Reynolds number requirement is 0.68L / min.

[0052]
[0053] Data acquisition device 19 collected the flow rate of sample 24. Q / L / min and pressure difference p Five sets of data for each of / pa are shown in Table 1. The friction loss of the sample was calculated using the friction loss calculation formula. The actual inner diameter of the pipeline was measured with calipers before the experiment. d Then, the frequency of the reciprocating pump is adjusted by the frequency converter to make the flow rate greater than the minimum flow rate. The frequency is increased to increase the flow rate. When the value is stable, the measured flow rate and pressure difference are recorded. A total of 5 sets of data are recorded. The flow rate and pressure difference data are substituted into formula (2). L=L X -(a+b) and formula (3)
[0054] Frictional losses can be calculated (using data from item 1 in Table 1 as an example):
[0055] L = (p * 120) 1.85 *(0.05*10 3 ) 4.87 ) / (6.05*10 10 *Q1.85 ) - (1.0 + 0.5)
[0056] L=(p*7022.40*187924724.01) / (60500000000*Q 1.85 -1.5
[0057] L = 21.81 * p / Q 1.85 -1.5
[0058] L = 4.4m.

[0060]
[0061] The five sets of friction loss data in Table 1 were calculated, and then the average value was taken to obtain the following result:
[0062] (4.4+4.5+4.8+5.0+5.2) / 5=4.78m
[0063] The friction loss value is the friction loss result obtained by testing the sample with perfluoroketone fire extinguishing agent, and it is used for actual engineering design.
[0064] The method for testing friction loss of straight pipe sections and fittings shall be performed in accordance with Example 1.
