Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a positive pressure multi-agent foam fire extinguishing system and an application method, belonging to the technical field of fire extinguishing. Background Art

[0002] The petrochemical industry is a pillar of my country's national economy. With the intensification, refinement, and expansion of petrochemical production, a large number of low-boiling-point flammable liquid storage tanks, such as naphtha, condensate, and light-reforming liquid, have emerged. These tanks pose a high fire risk and are difficult to extinguish. Furthermore, the capacity of individual tanks is increasing, from the currently common 5,000 and 10,000 m³ to 20,000 m³ and even larger.

[0003] Low-boiling-point flammable liquids with a boiling point below 45°C, such as naphtha, condensate oil, and light reformate, have low surface tension, low boiling point, high saturated vapor pressure, and strong volatility. Their saturated vapor pressure is more than 10 times that of standard n-heptane liquid fuel. Traditional single water-film-forming foam, protein foam, anti-solvent foam, fluorine-free foam and other fire-fighting foams alone cannot suppress their rapid volatilization. Even if covered with a certain thickness of foam, oil vapor can still penetrate the foam layer, forming a residual flame (hereinafter referred to as "afterfire") that continues to burn and constantly changes position and size. Once the foam supply is stopped or the foam dissipates, these "afterfires" will quickly reignite the tank fire. Therefore, the existing ordinary foam fire-fighting technology relies on the covering effect of conventional foam and water film and cannot meet the fire extinguishing needs of low-boiling-point flammable liquids. There are problems such as difficulty in extinguishing the fire, easy re-ignition, and ineffective response.

[0004] Patents CN101371944B and CN202315035U disclose a foam fire extinguishing system using clean gases such as heptafluoropropane and trifluoromethane as foaming agents. This gas-foam fire extinguishing product, composed of clean gas extinguishing agents and foam extinguishing agents, offers both foam coverage and chemical suppression. However, this method uses only relatively expensive clean gases such as heptafluoropropane and trifluoromethane, resulting in high system costs. This makes it unsuitable for large, low-boiling-point storage tanks, where large amounts of extinguishing agent are used, hindering widespread adoption. Furthermore, the clean gases used, such as heptafluoropropane, are potent greenhouse gases (GWP = 2900) and are included in the list of controlled substances under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. Under the new national dual-carbon strategy, their use is facing gradual restrictions and phase-out. Newer, environmentally friendly and efficient clean chemical gas fire extinguishing agents often suffer from high boiling points and are typically liquid, making this method ineffective for efficient foaming.

[0005] Patents CN113509662A, CN218529607U, CN118236661A, and CN117339149A disclose foam fire extinguishing systems using brominated trifluoropropylene and perfluorohexanone as foaming agents. Liquid brominated trifluoropropylene and perfluorohexanone are injected into a foam mixture for foaming, thereby achieving a dual fire extinguishing effect of physical cooling coverage and chemical suppression. However, brominated trifluoropropene and perfluorohexanone have relatively high boiling points, 34°C and 48°C respectively. They are liquid under normal conditions. Directly injecting them into the foam mixture in liquid form for foaming will result in poor foaming effect, inability to fully exert the chemical inhibition effect, and insufficient fire extinguishing efficiency, as most of them are liquid and the gas ratio is very low. Especially when the proportion in the air is small and the concentration is low, the chemical gas will have a significant flame enhancement and combustion-supporting effect, resulting in poor fire extinguishing and suppression effect on large oil tank fires. In addition, using high-boiling-point fire extinguishing agents such as brominated trifluoropropene and perfluorohexanone as foaming agents will also lead to excessively high costs for the fire extinguishing system, lack of practical value, and inability to be widely popularized and applied.

[0006] Therefore, because the chemical fire extinguishing agents used are liquid at room temperature, the existing technology either uses chemical fire extinguishing agents with insufficient vaporization concentration or is not fully vaporized, resulting in an inability to fully exert the fire extinguishing effect. There is an urgent need for a fire extinguishing system and method that can simply modify existing equipment to fully vaporize the chemical fire extinguishing agent to form fire extinguishing foam.

[0205] The injected chemical fire extinguishing agent is ejected through the dispersion holes 7-22-10 on the inner core 7-22-2 and mixed with the air flowing into the air chamber 7-22-4, and is fully mixed in the mixed gas chamber 7-22-5, and is injected into the gas-liquid mixer 8 through the mixed gas outlet 7-22-9;

[0207] The number of the dispersed holes 7-22-10 is 3 to 50, and the hole diameter is 0.1 mm to 3 mm.

[0208] When in use, the displacement pump 7-4 pumps out the chemical fire extinguishing agent, and the liquid chemical fire extinguishing agent exchanges heat with the hot air in the first heat exchanger 7-6. The gaseous chemical fire extinguishing agent after heating and vaporization is output from the chemical fire extinguishing agent outlet 7-6-6.

[0209] A first temperature sensor 7-7A is provided at the chemical extinguishing agent outlet 7-6-6 to monitor the temperature of the chemical extinguishing agent in the pipeline to determine whether the chemical extinguishing agent has exceeded its boiling point and is completely vaporized. If the temperature of the chemical extinguishing agent in the pipeline exceeds a specific temperature value, the first control valve 7-9 is opened and the second control valve 7-10 is closed, and the gaseous chemical extinguishing agent is directly injected into the chemical extinguishing agent-air mixer 7-22 through the first inlet 7-22-6 to be fully mixed with the air to form a mixed gas.

[0210] If the temperature of the chemical fire extinguishing agent in the pipeline is lower than a specific temperature value, the second control valve 7-10 is opened. At this time, the first control valve 7-9 is closed and the third control valve 7-13 is opened, and the chemical fire extinguishing agent that is not completely vaporized is passed into the second heat exchanger 7-11 for further heating and vaporization. A second temperature sensor 7-7B is respectively provided on the chemical fire extinguishing agent outlet 7-6-6 pipeline of the second heat exchanger 7-11.

For example, for liquid chemical fire extinguishing agents with a low boiling point and easy vaporization, rapid and complete vaporization can be achieved using only the waste heat energy of the hot air from the screw air compressor 7-1. Heat exchange occurs only in the first heat exchanger 7-6. After vaporization, the gaseous chemical fire extinguishing agent is directly injected into the chemical fire extinguishing agent air mixer 7-22 through the first inlet 7-22-6 via a control valve, where it is fully mixed with air to form a mixed gas. For liquid chemical fire extinguishing agents with a higher boiling point and difficult to vaporize, they are fully heated and vaporized in the first heat exchanger 7-6 and the second heat exchanger 7-11, and then injected into the chemical fire extinguishing agent air mixer 7-22 through the second inlet 7-22-7 to fully mix with air to form a mixed gas.

[0215] The volumetric pump 7-4 automatically adjusts the rotation speed according to the flow rate of the air flow meter 7-18, thereby controlling the output flow rate of the liquid chemical fire extinguishing agent.

[0216] The central controller 9 is controlled by PLC or other automated methods.

[0218] The foam fire extinguishing agent adopts water film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, protein foam fire extinguishing agent, anti-solvent foam fire extinguishing agent, fluorine-free foam fire extinguishing agent and other types of foam fire extinguishing agents.

[0219] The chemical fire extinguishing agent is brominated trifluoropropylene, perfluorohexanone, heptafluorocyclopentane or other new high-boiling-point environmentally friendly and efficient chemical gas fire extinguishing agents, and the boiling point is higher than 25°C.

[0220] In parallel with the development of the above-mentioned fire extinguishing system, a method for applying a positive pressure multi-agent foam fire extinguishing system was designed. The specific steps include:

[0221] S1. Control fire and cool down

[0222] For fires in low-boiling-point flammable liquid storage tanks, highly stable compressed air foam is generated and applied. The excellent fire control and extinguishing performance, thermal insulation protection performance and efficient cooling performance of highly stable compressed air foam are utilized to quickly control the fire of low-boiling-point flammable liquid. A foam blanket with a thickness of not less than 100mm is formed on the surface of the low-boiling-point flammable liquid to gradually cool down the liquid until it drops below the boiling point of the low-boiling-point flammable liquid, leaving only the residual fire of oil vapor on the surface of the foam blanket.

[0223] The gas-liquid ratio of the highly stable compressed air foam is not less than 5:1, and the foam supply intensity is 5L / (min·m 2 )~30L / (min·m 2 ), the calculation formula for the minimum bubble supply time of compressed air foam is:

[0233] During the chemical gas-air mixture foam fire extinguishing process, the determining factor for whether the chemical inhibition effect can be exerted lies in whether the chemical fire extinguishing agent can be successfully vaporized and reach a fire extinguishing concentration in the bubbles of the foam. Ideally, the fire extinguishing concentration is reached both within the bubbles of the foam blanket and 200 mm above the foam blanket.

[0234] The chemical gas-air mixed gas foam supply intensity is 8L / (min·m 2 )~30L / (min·m2 ), the gas-liquid ratio is not less than 1:1, the foam supply time t2 is 3min~30min, and the calculation formula of foam mixture and air flow is:

[0249] C—Volume extinguishing concentration of chemical fire extinguishing agent for low-boiling-point flammable liquid fire, %;

[0250] S—Specific volume of superheated steam of chemical fire extinguishing agent at 101KPa atmospheric pressure and test temperature, unit: m 3 / kg;

[0251] k1—correction coefficient, which can be taken as 1.0 under general conditions;

[0252] k1 is related to the altitude of the operating environment and can be adjusted according to the ratio of the air pressure at the altitude to the standard atmospheric pressure.

[0253] k2—redundancy coefficient, ranging from 1.1 to 90.

[0254] S3, Anti-reignition protection

[0255] After the fire of low-boiling-point flammable liquid storage tank is completely extinguished, continue to apply high-stability compressed air foam for 1-30 minutes, maintaining a 200-500mm foam blanket on the surface of the low-boiling-point flammable liquid to continuously cool it down and effectively prevent it from re-igniting;

[0256] The gas-liquid ratio of the highly stable compressed air foam is not less than 5:1, and the foam supply intensity is 5L / (min·m2)~30L / (min·m2). The calculation formula of the foam supply time t3 is:
