Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of safety protection of oil storage tanks in chemical sites, and particularly relates to an over-temperature automatic explosion suppression device and explosion suppression method for oil storage tanks. Background Art

[0002] In a fire scenario, when a storage tank containing flammable media encounters high temperatures, the evaporation of the liquid in the tank accelerates, forming an explosion zone in the space above the liquid surface in the tank. The explosive medium encounters an ignition source from the outside (such as static electricity, sparks, etc.), which is very likely to cause combustion and explosion, thereby further causing the liquid in the tank to explode, ultimately causing an explosion, and even casualties and huge economic losses.

[0003] The current solution to the explosion suppression problem of horizontal oil storage tanks is mainly external fire extinguishers, including foam fire extinguishers and gas fire extinguishers, etc. The fire extinguishing agent can be sprayed inside the tank through a special pipeline. The problem with this technical solution and product is that tank fires or explosions are usually very sudden. When a tank fire or explosion occurs, the tank is likely to have been damaged. At this time, it is often too late to start the fire extinguishing system. Moreover, if the destructive power of the tank fire or explosion is large at the beginning, it is likely to damage the pipeline facilities of the fire extinguishing system and even endanger the fire extinguishing system, causing the fixed fire extinguishing system equipped with the tank to fail.

[0004] Patent CN113384833A (a fire prevention and control and fire suppression method for petrochemical storage tanks) can effectively reduce the risk of full-area fires in petrochemical storage tanks. When a petrochemical storage tank is struck by lightning and a local fire occurs, the floating plate on the liquid surface can block the heat transfer from the flame to the fuel, reduce the vapor volatilization rate of the fuel, thereby effectively suppressing the scale of the flame and improving the efficiency of foam fire extinguishing. However, this patent is mainly aimed at oily sewage pools, and uses multiple hexagonal small floating covers. The small floating covers are spread side by side above the oil surface to form a solid isolation layer to suppress the volatilization of oil and gas, thereby achieving the effect of explosion suppression. There are certain gaps between the small floating covers, and the oil in the gaps evaporates slowly, so this patent cannot completely eliminate the volatilization of oil and gas, and the explosion suppression effect is limited.

[0005] Patent CN210936361U (a nano-membrane isolated oil and gas suppression system) can reduce the internal oil and gas concentration to below 10% LEL in a short time and further isolate the residual liquid surface of the oil storage and transportation device to be cleaned by nano-membrane covering to obtain a relatively safe operating space. This patent mainly uses a solution containing a special surfactant (such as a fluorocarbon surfactant, etc.) to spread on the surface of the oil to form a thin liquid film, and the liquid seal of the liquid film is used to block the volatilization of oil and gas to achieve the purpose of explosion suppression. However, the life of the thin liquid film formed by the special surfactant solution on the surface of the oil is limited. In order to maintain the durability of the liquid film on the surface of the oil, it is necessary to continuously replenish the liquid film solution by droplet deposition. Therefore, this application is also limited.

[0006] Storage tanks filled with flammable liquid media form an oil-gas space above the liquid surface in the tank, which is an explosion-free zone. When encountering an external ignition source (such as static electricity, sparks, etc.), it is very easy to explode. Existing external fire extinguishers for storage tanks are often not activated in a timely manner. When a tank fire or explosion occurs, the tank is likely to have been damaged. If the destructive power of a tank fire or explosion is large at the beginning, it is likely to damage the pipe facilities of the fire extinguishing system and even endanger the fire extinguishing system, thereby causing the fixed fire extinguishing system equipped with the tank to fail.

[0007] If there is a similar safety-designed storage tank explosion protection process, that is, the fire extinguishing system is activated before a fire or explosion occurs in the storage tank, there is a greater success rate to suppress the fire or explosion accident of the storage tank. The fire extinguishing system can be activated in time by detecting signals such as temperature and pressure in the storage tank. At present, the mainstream technology for the problem of internal gas phase space explosion in oil-containing storage tanks is to use external fire extinguishers, including fixed fire-fighting facilities and mobile fire-fighting facilities. However, the configuration of the external fire extinguishing system is relatively cumbersome, and the installation and use lack flexibility. Therefore, the built-in automatic fire extinguishing system for storage tanks has a great application prospect, and there is currently no targeted built-in automatic fire extinguishing system for storage tanks.

[0022] (3) When the gas fire extinguishing agent fills the internal space of the oil storage tank, the excess gas fire extinguishing agent overflows from the breathing valve, thereby achieving the purpose of suppressing the oil and gas fire or explosion inside the oil storage tank.
