[0036] The following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided in detail.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the air distributor is installed on the ceiling, and its combination with the ceiling forms a sample box, so that the air distributor sample is compatible with the marine ceiling test device. By setting the test environment, the test results can be more closely related to the actual application situation, and the fire resistance test results of the marine air distributor can be more accurate and reliable.

[0039] This invention provides a fire resistance test method for marine air distributors, comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1: Experimental preparation. Prepare a prototype marine air distributor as a sample to ensure it meets design requirements and specifications. Prepare experimental equipment and instruments, such as ceiling panels and thermal radiation meters. Select appropriate test materials, such as ignition sources and combustibles, according to requirements.

[0041] S2: Sample installation: Based on the marine ceiling test sample, the prototype air distributor is installed on the ceiling. The ceiling and the prototype air distributor are combined to form the air distributor test sample box, so that the air distributor test sample is compatible with the marine ceiling test device.

[0042] S3: Experimental conditions setting: Set the laboratory temperature and humidity to simulate the internal environment of a ship, and set the air flow and speed to simulate the normal working state of the air distributor.

[0043] S4: Flame contact test. Ignite the fire source to produce a flame, and bring the flame into contact with the surface of the air distributor sample for a certain period of time. Observe the effect of the flame on the marine air distributor, and observe and record the combustion of the flame, the degree of combustion of the air distributor sample, and the development of the fire.

[0044] S5: Thermal radiation test. Place the thermal radiation meter at a certain standard distance from the marine air distributor and measure the thermal radiation intensity. Record and evaluate the fire resistance performance of the marine air distributor under thermal radiation according to standard requirements.

[0045] S6: Combustion performance evaluation. The test is stopped when the predetermined time is reached or the air distributor sample can no longer withstand the flame. The combustion performance of marine air distributors is evaluated, including parameters such as combustion rate and smoke density. The fire resistance performance is evaluated by observing the combustion of the sample and the residue after combustion. The evaluation standards include: B15 grade air distributors and B0 grade air distributors.

[0046] S7: Results Analysis and Reporting. Analyze the experimental results and determine whether the fire resistance performance of the marine air distributor meets the requirements.

[0047] In this embodiment, according to the installation of the air distributor described in step S2, the installation method of the air distributor and the ceiling should be the actual installation method used. When the air distributor is installed, the air outlet is located on the fire-facing side of the ceiling, and the air distributor housing is located on the fire-repellent side of the ceiling.

[0048] In this embodiment, the ceiling structure is composed of layers of 0.7mm thick galvanized steel sheet, 28.6mm thick rock slab, and another 0.7mm thick galvanized steel sheet, wherein the density of the rock slab is 120kg / m³. 3 .

[0049] This structure provides good fire resistance and durability, and is in line with the design structure of marine air distributors.

[0050] In this embodiment, the ceiling includes multiple air distributors, and the interval between adjacent air distributors should not be less than 200mm to ensure that adjacent air distributors do not affect each other; the distance between the air distributor and the edge of the ceiling should not be less than 200mm to ensure that the air distributor is not affected by additional heat flow from the edge of the sample.

[0051] In this embodiment, five thermocouples are arranged at the center of the four quarter-area areas and the center of the entire back of the air distributor sample box as described in step S2, to measure the average temperature rise of the air distributor. Thermocouples are also arranged at the center of the four sides of the box (the thermocouple on the air inlet side is offset by 100mm), and on the surface of the ventilation pipe fitted at the air inlet, 25mm from the box. All of these thermocouples are used to measure the maximum temperature rise of the air distributor.

[0052] By arranging and measuring thermocouples, a comprehensive understanding of the temperature changes of the air distributor sample during flame contact testing can be obtained, including the average temperature rise and the maximum temperature rise. This helps in evaluating the fire resistance and thermal protection capabilities of the air distributor.

[0053] The arrangement of the marine air distributor and thermal coupler is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown.

[0054] In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity settings of the test chamber are as follows: the temperature is controlled between 20°C and 40°C, and the humidity is controlled between 45% and 75% to simulate the internal environment of a ship.

[0055] The flame temperature was controlled between 800℃ and 1000℃, and the test time ranged from 30 minutes to 120 minutes.

[0056] Under 80 minutes (800℃) conditions, the air distributor sample exhibited good fire resistance under moderate high temperature conditions and could withstand flame contact at 800℃; the characteristics of the flue gas produced during combustion were relatively stable, and the release of harmful substances was relatively low; the residue of the air distributor sample was relatively uniform in morphology, with no obvious physical damage or carbonization.

[0057] Under 80 minutes (900℃) conditions, the air distributor sample exhibited strong fire resistance under high temperature conditions and could withstand flame contact at 900℃; the characteristics of the smoke generated during combustion were quite obvious, and it may release a certain amount of harmful substances; the residue of the air distributor sample did not show any physical damage or carbonization, and the overall structure remained intact.

[0058] Under 80 minutes (1000℃) conditions, the fire resistance of the air distributor sample is limited under extremely high temperature conditions and cannot withstand continuous flame contact at 1000℃; the characteristics of the smoke generated during combustion are relatively violent and may release a large amount of harmful substances; the residue of the air distributor sample does not show obvious physical damage or carbonization, and the structure may be severely damaged.

[0059] By setting the above test conditions, the temperature and humidity conditions inside the ship, as well as the temperature and test time of flame contact, can be simulated. This helps to evaluate the fire resistance and combustion characteristics of the air distributor samples under real-world usage conditions.

[0060] In this embodiment, according to the flame contact test described in step S4, different flame types can be selected, such as upright flames, jet flames, fan-shaped flames, etc. Different flame types have different thermal radiation and combustion characteristics. By testing the effects of different flame types on the air distributor sample, its fire resistance performance can be understood more comprehensively.

[0061] Among them, upright flame refers to a flame that burns vertically upward, such as a burning candle or open flame. By contacting the surface of the air distributor sample with an upright flame and maintaining it for the duration of the test, the fire resistance and heat resistance of the air distributor under real fire conditions can be evaluated.

[0062] Jet flame refers to a type of flame that burns at high speed, such as blowtorches and flame guns. By bringing the jet flame into contact with the surface of the air distributor sample and adjusting the temperature and pressure of the jet flame, fire conditions under certain special working conditions can be simulated, such as the situation where the jet flame directly impacts the air distributor.

[0063] A fan-shaped flame refers to a flame that is fan-shaped. It is achieved by adjusting the nozzle or other devices. A fan-shaped flame has a large area and a low height, which can simulate the uniform contact of the fire source on the surface of the air distributor. By contacting the fan-shaped flame with the air distributor sample and adjusting the flame size and temperature, the fire resistance performance of the air distributor under a wide range of flame contact can be evaluated.

[0064] The duration can be set to different flame contact times, such as short contact and long contact. Short contact can simulate the situation where the fire source is in short contact with the air distributor sample, while long contact can simulate the situation where the fire source is continuously acting. By testing flame contact of different durations, the fire resistance and durability of the air distributor sample can be evaluated.

[0065] Applying pressure can be done by inducing a certain amount of pressure during flame contact to simulate the mechanical stress that may exist in actual use environments. By conducting a flame contact test after applying pressure, the fire resistance and durability of the air distributor sample under stress can be evaluated.

[0066] Among them, the effects produced after testing the air distributor are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0067] In this embodiment, according to the thermal radiation test described in step S5, a thermal radiation meter is activated and measurements are taken. The thermal radiation intensity is recorded. The thermal radiation meter typically measures in the form of thermal radiation and displays the result as the thermal radiation power received per unit area. Multiple thermal radiation intensity measurements are performed, and the average value is calculated to improve the reliability and accuracy of the results. This allows for a better evaluation of the fire resistance performance of the air distributor sample under thermal radiation.

[0068] In this embodiment, according to the evaluation criteria for marine air distributors described in step S6, wherein,

[0069] The evaluation criteria for B15 grade air distributors are as follows: the air distributor sample undergoes a standard fire resistance test for 30 minutes, with no flame penetration and intact structure; at the end of the 15th minute of the test, the average temperature of the unexposed surface of the air distributor sample increases by no more than 140°C from the initial temperature, and the temperature of any point on the unexposed surface of the air distributor sample increases by no more than 225°C from the initial temperature.

[0070] The evaluation criteria for a Class B0 air distributor are: the sample undergoes a standard fire resistance test for 30 minutes, with no flame penetration and the structure remains intact.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 by adding a flue gas emission test. Through the flue gas emission test, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of the flue gas produced when the air distributor is burning and the release of harmful substances. This helps to assess the impact of the air distributor on the internal environment of the ship and the health of personnel in the event of a fire, and provides a scientific basis for relevant safety measures and emergency plans.

[0073] The flue gas emission test includes an assessment of the emissions from the combustion of the air distributor. By measuring the density and composition of the flue gas, the release of harmful substances produced during the combustion of the air distributor, and its impact on the ship's internal environment and personnel health, are evaluated.

[0074] Flue gas emission testing includes the following steps:

[0075] Sampling device preparation: Prepare a suitable flue gas sampling device, such as a flue gas sampling hood, adsorption tube, filter paper, etc., to ensure that the flue gas sample can be collected effectively.

[0076] By preparing appropriate flue gas sampling equipment, it is possible to effectively collect flue gas samples generated during combustion. This helps to obtain representative flue gas samples for subsequent analysis and evaluation.

[0077] The selection of flue gas sampling points depends on the experimental requirements. Flue gas sampling points are set at appropriate locations in the sample box of the air distributor. Usually, different locations such as the front, back and side of the air distributor can be selected for sampling in order to fully understand the characteristics of the flue gas.

[0078] During the flue gas sampling process, the flue gas is guided to the sampling point through the flue gas sampling device and sampled for a certain period of time. The sampling time should be determined according to the test requirements and relevant standards to ensure that representative flue gas samples are obtained.

[0079] By setting up flue gas sampling points at different locations, the characteristics of the flue gas produced during the combustion of the air distributor can be fully understood. Sampling from different positions such as the front, back, and sides of the air distributor can obtain more comprehensive and integrated flue gas information.

[0080] Flue gas density measurement involves using appropriate flue gas density measuring instruments, such as optical sensors or particle counters, to measure the sampled flue gas. These instruments can assess the density of flue gas by measuring the number or concentration of particles in the flue gas.

[0081] The sampled flue gas is measured using appropriate flue gas density measuring instruments, such as optical sensors or particle counters. This provides an accurate measurement of flue gas density, allowing for an assessment of the flue gas concentration and its distribution.

[0082] Flue gas composition analysis: The collected flue gas samples are sent to the laboratory and the flue gas composition is analyzed using instruments such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. By analyzing the types and contents of harmful substances in the flue gas, the release of harmful substances produced during the combustion of the air distributor can be assessed.

[0083] By sending collected flue gas samples to the laboratory and analyzing their components using instruments such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the types and amounts of harmful substances in the flue gas can be accurately determined. This helps in assessing the release of harmful substances generated during the combustion of the air distributor.

[0084] Data processing and evaluation: Based on the results of flue gas density measurement and flue gas composition analysis, data processing and statistical analysis are performed to evaluate the characteristics of flue gas generated during the combustion of the air distributor, the release of harmful substances, and the potential impact on the internal environment of the ship and the health of personnel.

[0085] By processing and statistically analyzing the results of flue gas density measurements and flue gas composition analysis, the characteristics of the flue gas generated during the combustion of the air distributor and the release of harmful substances can be comprehensively assessed. This helps to understand the potential impact of flue gas on the internal environment of the ship and the health of personnel, and provides a scientific basis for relevant safety measures and emergency plans.

[0086] In flue gas emission testing, appropriate instruments and equipment can be used to measure flue gas density and composition. Flue gas density can be measured using devices such as optical sensors or particle counters to assess the concentration and distribution of flue gas. Simultaneously, flue gas samples can be collected and analyzed using instruments such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine the types and amounts of harmful substances.

[0087] Example 3

[0088] In this embodiment, the fire resistance performance is evaluated by observing the combustion of the sample and analyzing the residue after combustion.

[0089] Analysis of post-combustion residues includes the following steps:

[0090] Residue collection: After the test, the residue of the burnt-out air distributor sample should be collected. Tools, brushes, etc. can be used to collect the residue into a container.

[0091] By collecting the residue samples from the burnt-out air distributor, we can obtain residue samples generated during the actual combustion process, providing a basis for subsequent analysis and evaluation.

[0092] Observe the appearance characteristics of the residue, including color, shape, texture, etc. These appearance characteristics can initially reflect the thermal decomposition, carbonization and other possible reactions that occur during the combustion of the air distributor.

[0093] Physical property testing involves conducting basic physical property tests on the residue, such as measuring its density, hardness, and strength, to understand its physical characteristics and structural changes.

[0094] By testing the physical properties of the residue, such as density, hardness, and strength, we can gain a deeper understanding of its physical characteristics and structural changes. This helps in assessing the fire resistance of the air distributor during a fire and the stability of the residue after combustion.

[0095] Chemical composition analysis involves using appropriate chemical analysis methods to analyze the chemical composition of the residue. Common analytical techniques include infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and mass spectrometry. These analyses can determine the organic and inorganic components in the residue and provide insights into the composition of the gaseous and solid products generated during combustion.

[0096] Chemical analysis of the residues allows for the identification of their organic and inorganic components. This helps in understanding the chemical composition of the gaseous and solid products generated during combustion, thereby assessing the characteristics of the air distributor's combustion products and the potential release of hazardous substances.

[0097] Hazardous substance detection, with particular attention to potentially hazardous substances in the residues, assesses the release of hazardous substances during the combustion of the air distributor and its potential impact on the ship's internal environment and personnel health through the detection and analysis of toxic and hazardous substances.

[0098] Detection and analysis of potentially hazardous substances in the residues help assess their potential impact on the ship's internal environment and personnel health, and provide a basis for relevant safety measures.

[0099] Results analysis and assessment: Based on the observation and analysis results, a comprehensive assessment is conducted on the characteristics, chemical composition, and hazardous substances of the residues. These assessments can help determine the combustion products generated by the air distributor during a fire and evaluate the impact on the ship's internal cleaning and restoration work.

[0100] A comprehensive evaluation of the observations and analysis results can determine the characteristics and impact of the combustion products generated by the air distributor during a fire. This helps assess the impact on the ship's interior cleaning and recovery efforts and provides reference information for improving air distributor design and selecting safer and more reliable materials.

[0101] By analyzing the combustion residues through the above steps, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and composition of the residues produced by the air distributor during combustion, as well as their potential impact on the ship's internal environment and personnel health. This helps to assess the fire resistance of the air distributor and the safety of the combustion products, providing the shipbuilding industry with more reliable fire safety measures.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
