Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine generator sets, and in particular to a fireproof wind turbine generator set nacelle cover. Background Art

[0002] As a key external protective structure of wind turbines, the nacelle has the following main functions: protecting against dust, rain, snow, salt spray erosion, and UV aging, ensuring stable operation of the unit in various harsh environments.

[0003] However, the nacelle cover made of flame-retardant fiberglass, which is commonly used in wind turbines, poses a safety hazard when faced with emergencies such as lightning strikes or fires in internal electrical components. Specifically, once the flame directly contacts the nacelle cover and the temperature reaches its ignition point, the nacelle cover may catch fire. Especially under the action of a continuous open flame, the ignition point temperature of the nacelle cover will drop rapidly, causing the fire to spread rapidly.

[0004] Therefore, when a serious fire occurs inside a wind turbine, such as a transformer fire, existing automatic fire extinguishers are often unable to effectively extinguish the fire, causing the fire to get out of control further and eventually ignite the nacelle cover, causing the entire wind turbine to burn. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes a fireproof wind turbine nacelle cover to solve the above technical problems.

[0006] A fireproof wind turbine nacelle cover, comprising:

[0007] a nacelle cover with threaded posts inside;

[0008] The fireproof board is installed on the inner surface of the nacelle cover and connected to the nacelle cover through threaded columns to form a fireproof layer;

[0009] The air layer, located between the fireproof plate and the inner surface of the nacelle cover, has a thickness determined by the height of the threaded post;

[0010] Among them, the air layer uses the low thermal conductivity of air to delay the transfer of heat to the cabin cover.

[0011] Furthermore, a bolt hole is provided on the fireproof plate, and the bolt hole is arranged in cooperation with the threaded column.

[0012] Furthermore, the cabin cover and the fireproof panel are provided in plurality.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of corner fireproof panels and internal reinforcement rib fireproof panels, and the plurality of cabin covers are connected through the corner fireproof panels and the internal reinforcement rib fireproof panels.

[0014] Furthermore, the fireproof board is made of non-metallic material.

[0015] Furthermore, the heat transfer coefficient of the inner surface of the fireproof board is determined by the method shown in the following formula:

[0016]

[0017] Where: h n is the heat transfer coefficient of the inner surface of the fireproof board, λ1 is the thermal conductivity of the air in the cabin under specific working conditions, L1 is the characteristic length of the inner surface of the fireproof layer, and Nu1 is the Nusselt coefficient of the inner surface of the fireproof layer.

[0018] Furthermore, the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surface of the nacelle cover is determined by the method shown in the following formula:

[0019]

[0020] Where: h w is the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surface of the nacelle cover, λ2 is the thermal conductivity of the air outside the cabin under specific external environmental conditions, L2 is the characteristic length of the outer surface of the nacelle cover, and Nu2 is the Nusselt coefficient of the outer surface of the nacelle cover.

[0021] Furthermore, the comprehensive thermal resistance is determined by the method shown in the following formula:

[0022]

[0023] Where: R is the comprehensive thermal resistance, δ is the thickness, λ is the thermal conductivity, λ3 is the thermal conductivity of the fireproof board, δ3 is the thickness of the fireproof board, λ4 is the thermal conductivity of the cabin cover, δ4 is the thickness of the cabin cover, R k is the air layer thermal resistance.

[0024] Furthermore, the heat transfer coefficient is determined by the method shown in the following formula:

[0025]

[0026] Where: K is the heat transfer coefficient.

[0027] Furthermore, the air layer thermal resistance is determined by the method shown in the following formula:

[0028]

[0029] Where: R k is the air layer thermal resistance, λ a is the thermal conductivity of air, λ r is the equivalent thermal conductivity of the radiation between two surfaces between air, λ c is the equivalent convective thermal conductivity of the air layer, and d is the thickness of the air layer.

[0030] The invention adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0031] 1. The present invention utilizes the air layer between the fireproof plate and the nacelle cover to separate the nacelle cover from the inside of the unit, thereby preventing the nacelle cover from directly contacting the flame when a fire occurs, delaying the time for the fiberglass to reach the fire point, buying time for the unit to extinguish the fire, preventing the nacelle cover from spreading to the entire unit, and improving the fireproof performance of the wind turbine generator set.

[0032] 2. The present invention increases the overall thermal resistance of the structure and reduces the heat transfer coefficient by adding fireproof boards and air layers, thereby achieving the effect of heat insulation and fire prevention. Under the same environmental conditions, the thermal resistance of the heat transfer structure can be further increased and the heat transfer coefficient can be reduced by increasing the thickness of the fireproof board, reducing the thermal conductivity of the fireproof board material, and increasing the thickness of the air layer.
