TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of storage tank fire simulation and rehearsal, and specifically relates to a storage tank full-surface fire extinguishing rehearsal device with adjustable liquid level height. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy and the strategic demand of the energy industry itself, the single-tank volume and quantity of storage tanks in chemical industry parks are constantly rising, and the tank farm scale is constantly expanding, but this also increases the fire hazard of storage tanks in chemical industry parks. Once a storage tank fire accident occurs, it is easy to cause the fire to spread, resulting in serious personnel casualties, property losses and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is very important to continuously improve the fire extinguishing ability and response ability of storage tank fires.
[0003] At present, storage tank fire safety has also been valued by local fire departments, and local fire departments often continuously improve the fire extinguishing ability and response ability through regular rehearsals to ensure that they can efficiently and safely respond to storage tank fire extinguishing. There are generally two forms of actual storage tank fire rehearsal, one is small-scale rehearsal, that is, small storage tanks are made of special materials, and the small storage tanks have similar shape characteristics to real storage tanks, thereby simulating the scene of storage tank fire and conducting small-scale simulated fire extinguishing rehearsal; the other is large-scale rehearsal, which is usually carried out in a dedicated training site or a real chemical industry park, and often adopts the form of no ignition or small-scale ignition to simulate fire extinguishing rehearsal under the scene of real storage tanks. Although the conventional storage tank fire rehearsal method can enhance the actual combat ability and improve the safety awareness to some extent, there are still some defects and deficiencies. For example, the existing storage tank fire rehearsal lacks the realism of the fire scene, and the small-scale rehearsal or large-scale non-ignition rehearsal scene cannot completely simulate the complexity and urgency of the fire; in addition, the traditional storage tank fire rehearsal consumes a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources, causing a large amount of waste of oil and water resources.
[0004] At present, some scholars have developed related devices for tank fire simulation training. Li Ying et al. designed a gas flame control method based on field simulation technology (Patent No. CN113350729B), which sets up an array of gas outlets in advance, adjusts the size parameters of the gas outlets, and simulates the traditional fire source of fire training by using gas fire. Wang Pei et al. designed a combustion device for fire simulation training system (Patent No. CN115779326B), which supplies fuel through a gas fuel system and simulates oil tank fire by using gas jet fire, thereby analyzing the heat release rate and temperature parameters in fire simulation. Fu Jingchun et al. designed a liquefied gas tank fire training simulation device (Patent No. CN204596218), which sets up gas burners on the top, middle and bottom of the tank to simulate the scenario of fire occurring at the top, middle and bottom of the tank. Lu Shouxiang et al. designed an internal floating roof tank fire simulation device (Patent No. CN207441057U), which sets up a water bath burner on a fixed internal floating roof structure, provides gas source through an external gas supply system, and provides a stable ignition source by an ignition mechanism to simulate internal floating roof tank fire. Fu Jingchun et al. designed a tank fire training simulation device (Patent No. CN204204305N), which sets up a tray filled with water on the top of the tank and evenly arranges burner nozzles at the bottom of the tray. The nozzles spray mixed gas and combustion-supporting gas, which is then ignited by an igniter to simulate a full-surface fire on the top of the tank. Gao Jifeng et al. designed a large-scale tank top full-liquid surface fire simulation device (Patent No. CN109817076A), which sets up a cylindrical target material on the center of the tank top, and then sprays normal temperature water and liquid propane onto the cylindrical target material surface and flows down along the cylindrical target material surface through normal temperature water pipeline and liquid propane pipeline. The liquid propane gasifies by contacting the normal temperature water during the flow process, and then ignites by using an ignition device to simulate a full-liquid surface fire on the tank top. The research group previously designed a device to simulate the influence of side wall on the behavior of tank oil pool fire (Patent No. CN115290645B), which uses a gas supply device to provide combustible gas and a side wall simulation device composed of a transparent cylinder and a lifting platform to simulate the combustion behavior of tank oil pool fire under different side wall heights. The research group also previously designed a device to simulate tank fire extinguishing and reignition under different liquid level heights (Patent No. CN115792084B), which changes the height of the non-combustible liquid layer inside the tank and introduces combustible gas from the bottom to study the tank fire extinguishing and reignition processes.
[0005] Through the research and analysis of the existing technology, it can be concluded that the existing fire simulation training device has the following problems. On the one hand, the existing simulation training device mostly uses gas fire as fuel to simulate the actual storage tank fire, and its combustion characteristics and internal flow field are obviously different from the actual liquid storage tank fire, thereby affecting the fire extinguishing effect of the foam and failing to well simulate the fire extinguishing process of the storage tank fire. On the other hand, the existing storage tank fire simulation device can only simulate the fire occurring at the fixed position of the storage tank (such as the top of the storage tank, the middle of the storage tank, the bottom of the storage tank and the position of the floating roof in the storage tank), and cannot realize the adjustment of the liquid level height. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a storage tank full-surface fire extinguishing training device capable of realizing continuous change of liquid level height. SUMMARY

To this end, the present application proposes a storage tank full-surface fire extinguishing training device capable of adjusting the liquid level height, which uses liquid fuel, can simulate the full-surface combustion process of the storage tank at different liquid level heights, and characterizes the required state information, while saving a large amount of resources and improving the response ability of rescue personnel to storage tank fires under different burning conditions, thereby supporting the simulation training technology for storage tank fire fighting.
