Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mixing equipment, in particular to a heptafluoropropane foam proportion mixing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Heptafluoropropane is a clean gas chemical fire extinguishing agent that mainly uses chemical fire extinguishing and also has physical fire extinguishing effects. It belongs to polyfluorinated alkanes with a molecular formula of C3HF7. It is colorless, odorless, low-toxic, non-conductive, does not pollute the protected object, and will not cause damage to property and precision facilities. Heptafluoropropane can reliably extinguish Class B and C fires and electrical fires at a lower fire extinguishing concentration. It has a small storage space, a high critical temperature, a low critical pressure, and can be liquefied and stored at room temperature. It does not contain particles or oily residues after release and has no destructive effect on the atmospheric ozone layer. The heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing system does not extinguish fires by generating foam, but rather utilizes the efficient fire extinguishing performance of heptafluoropropane gas. When heptafluoropropane is released to the fire scene, it will quickly vaporize and diffuse, lowering the fire scene temperature while depriving the flame of oxygen, thereby achieving the purpose of extinguishing the fire. In addition, heptafluoropropane also has good electrical insulation and can be used to extinguish electrical fires.

[0003] Currently, heptafluoropropane is often directly introduced into the fire scene through a pipeline when in use, and heptafluoropropane sprays out a gaseous fluid. When the fire scene is large or there are many obstacles, heptafluoropropane often cannot form a uniform fire extinguishing concentration in a short time, and heptafluoropropane has a high cost when in use. Therefore, a heptafluoropropane foam proportioning mixing device is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0008] Furthermore, a third electric valve is provided at one end of the water inlet pipe close to the mixing pipe, and a third electric valve is provided at one end of the pressure water pipe close to the foam storage tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the two second electric valves are electrically connected to pressure gauges respectively, and the storage capacity of the second heptafluoropropane storage tank is the same as the storage capacity of the first heptafluoropropane storage tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the position of the third electric valve on the water inlet pipe is located between the pressure water pipe and the mixing pipe, and one end of the water inlet pipe away from the mixing pipe is connected to a water pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the second heptafluoropropane storage tank is disposed between the foam storage tank and the first heptafluoropropane storage tank, and the second electric valve is located above the flange.

[0012] Furthermore, the two third electric valves are both electrically connected to the fire alarm, and the pressure water pipe is connected to the top of the side of the foam storage tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the two connecting pipes are consistent in shape and size and are symmetrically arranged.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1.

[0016] 2. In the present invention, a connecting pipe is connected to one end of the transmission pipe body close to the first heptafluoropropane storage tank, and then the second heptafluoropropane storage tank is connected to the connecting pipe, so that when the heptafluoropropane reserves inside the first heptafluoropropane storage tank are insufficient, the heptafluoropropane inside the second heptafluoropropane storage tank is transmitted to the inside of the transmission pipe body through the connecting pipe by opening the second electric valve, thereby avoiding the problem of reduced fire extinguishing efficiency due to insufficient heptafluoropropane reserves inside the first heptafluoropropane storage tank.

[0030] The utility model comprises a transmission pipe body 1, wherein a first heptafluoropropane storage tank 3 is connected to the lower part of one end of the transmission pipe body 1, a pressure gauge 13 is fixed above the first heptafluoropropane storage tank 3, a first electric valve 4 is arranged at the connection between the first heptafluoropropane storage tank 3 and the transmission pipe body 1, a mixing pipe 8 is connected to the end of the transmission pipe body 1 away from the first heptafluoropropane storage tank 3, a foam storage tank 9 is connected to the lower part of the mixing pipe 8, a water inlet pipe 10 is connected to the lower part of the end of the mixing pipe 8 away from the transmission pipe body 1, a pressure water pipe 11 is connected to the lower part of the end of the water inlet pipe 10 away from the mixing pipe 8, and the other end of the pressure water pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the foam storage tank 9, so that heptafluoropropane is mixed with foam inside the transmission pipe body 1.

[0031] Specifically, a third electric valve 12 is provided at one end of the water inlet pipe 10 close to the mixing tube 8, and a third electric valve 12 is provided at one end of the pressure water pipe 11 close to the foam storage tank 9. The third electric valve 12 on the water inlet pipe 10 is located between the pressure water pipe 11 and the mixing tube 8. The end of the water inlet pipe 10 away from the mixing tube 8 is connected to a water pipe. Both third electric valves 12 are electrically connected to the fire alarm. The pressure water pipe 11 is connected to the upper side of the foam storage tank 9, so that the mixing ratio of the foam input into the transmission pipe body 1 is convenient to control.

[0032] As an optimization solution, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, two connecting pipes 2 are symmetrically connected on both sides of one end of the transmission pipe body 1 close to the first heptafluoropropane storage tank 3, a second electric valve 5 is provided under each connecting pipe 2, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to the second heptafluoropropane storage tank 7 through a flange 6.

[0034] Compared with Example 1 and Example 2, Example 2 sets a mixing tube at one end of the transmission pipe body away from the first heptafluoropropane storage tank, so that the foam inside the foam storage tank is mixed with the water output by the water inlet pipe and then input into the mixing tube, and at the same time, by opening the first electric valve, heptafluoropropane is released to mix with the foam, so that the transmission pipe body is transmitted to the fire scene, which solves the problem that heptafluoropropane sprays out a gas flow, when the fire scene is large or there are many obstacles, heptafluoropropane often cannot form a uniform fire extinguishing concentration in a short time, and heptafluoropropane has a high cost when used.

Part of the water flows into the foam storage tank 9 through the pressure water pipe 11, and the foam in the foam storage tank 9 is pushed out, so that the foam is transmitted to the mixing pipe 8. Part of the water flows into the mixing pipe 8 through the water inlet pipe 10, and is mixed with the foam and then output to the transmission pipe body 1. At this time, the HFC-227ea is mixed with the foam and then transmitted to the fire scene. When the HFC-227ea reserve in the first HFC-227ea storage tank 3 is insufficient, the pressure gauge 13 controls the second electric valve 5 to open, so that the HFC-227ea in the second HFC-227ea storage tank 7 is output to the connecting pipe 2 and then input to the transmission pipe body 1.

At the same time, the third electric valve 12 can control the speed of the water flow according to the fire situation, thereby adjusting the mixing ratio of the water flow and the foam.
