[0046] 4. The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, safe and reliable, and has good repeatability.

[0047] Example two This embodiment provides a method for simulating the effect of different temperatures on the combustion behavior of liquid fuel, which is based on the device in Example one, and the specific steps are as follows: (1) According to the experimental scheme, fill the required liquid fuel in the combustion device 4, and the liquid level height h0; The liquid fuel can be selected from common liquid fuels such as gasoline, diesel, crude oil, etc., or other specific liquid fuels. The liquid level height h0 is set according to the experimental needs, generally 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the height of the combustion device 4. For example, when the height of the combustion device 4 is 300 mm, the liquid level height h0 can be set to between 100 mm and 200 mm.

[0048] (2) Fill the heat preservation liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1, and make the liquid level height h1 in the heat preservation device 1 consistent with the liquid level height h0 of the liquid fuel in the combustion device 4; The heat preservation liquid medium can be selected from water, heat conducting oil or other high boiling point liquids. When the experimental temperature is high, heat conducting oil is selected as the heat preservation liquid medium to avoid the influence of water boiling on the experiment. The liquid level height h1 in the heat preservation device 1 is consistent with the liquid level height h0 of the liquid fuel in the combustion device 4, which can ensure that the liquid fuel is uniformly controlled by temperature.

[0049] (3) Operate the temperature control device 16, set the experimental temperature T1, start the heat exchange device 11, open the electric valve 9, and control the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 to be stable at the set experimental temperature T1.

[0050] The experimental temperature T1 is set according to the experimental needs, generally in the range of room temperature to below the flash point of the liquid fuel. For example, for gasoline, the experimental temperature T1 can be set to 20-40℃; for diesel, the experimental temperature T1 can be set to 20-60℃; for crude oil, the experimental temperature T1 can be set to 20-80℃. The temperature control device 16 controls the heat exchange device 11 to heat or cool the heat preservation liquid medium through the PLC controller, so that the temperature of the heat preservation liquid medium is stable at the set experimental temperature T1, and the temperature fluctuation is controlled within ±0.5℃.

[0051] (4) Start the monitoring device 15, and monitor the visible light probe 13, infrared probe 12, thermal radiation probe 14, temperature probe, and liquid level probe; The monitoring device 15 collects, records and displays data of each sensor. The visible light probe 13 records the visible light image of the flame with a sampling frequency of 30 fps. The infrared probe 12 records the infrared image of the flame with a sampling frequency of 30 fps. The thermal radiation probe 14 records the thermal radiation intensity of the flame with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz. The temperature probe records the temperature of the liquid fuel and the heat preservation liquid medium with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz. The liquid level probe records the liquid level height of the liquid fuel and the heat preservation liquid medium with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz.

[0052] (5) After the temperature of the fuel in the combustion device 4 and the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 are stabilized at the set experimental temperature T1, ignite the liquid fuel in the combustion device 4. When the temperature of the fuel in the combustion device 4 and the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 are stabilized at the set experimental temperature T1, and the temperature fluctuation is controlled within ±0.5℃ for 30 minutes, ignite the liquid fuel in the combustion device 4 using an igniter. The igniter can be an electric spark igniter or a common ignition tool such as a match, and the ignition position is the center position of the liquid fuel surface.

[0053] (6) Control the monitoring device 15 to record experimental data. The monitoring device 15 continuously records various parameters during the combustion process, including combustion rate, flame height, thermal radiation intensity, temperature distribution, etc. The experimental duration is set according to experimental needs, generally 30 minutes to 2 hours. Experimental data is saved in real time to the computer hard disk for subsequent research.

[0054] (7) After the experiment is completed, control the liquid outlet of the heat preservation device 1 to lower and stabilize the liquid level height in the heat preservation device 1 to the same height as the support. Specifically, open the liquid outlet of the heat preservation device 1, and when the liquid level height in the heat preservation device 1 is stabilized to the same height as the support, close the liquid outlet.

[0055] (8) Adjust the set experimental temperature to conduct experimental research at different temperatures and monitor the influence of different fuel temperatures on fuel combustion behavior.

[0056] After completing a set of experiments, clean the combustion device 4, replace the new liquid fuel, adjust the set experimental temperature T2, and repeat steps (1) to (7) to conduct experimental research at different temperatures. By comparing experimental data at different temperatures, the influence of different fuel temperatures on fuel combustion behavior is studied.

[0057] This method can be applied to experimental research on liquid fuel combustion under the constraint conditions of oil pool or storage tank, can safely control the initial temperature boundary condition of fuel, and can study the influence of different fuel temperatures on combustion rate, flame behavior, thermal convection, and thermal wave transmission of heavy oil.

[0058] Through this method, experimental conditions can be provided for the following research: 1. The effect of different initial temperatures on the burning rate of liquid fuel. Generally, as the initial temperature increases, the burning rate of liquid fuel increases, but the extent of the increase is related to the type of fuel.

[0063] Example Three This example provides a method for simulating the effect of water cushion temperature on the boiling overflow and splashing behavior of oil tank fires. The method is based on the device in Example One, and the specific steps are as follows: (1) According to the experimental scheme, first fill the water as a water cushion in the combustion device 4, with a water layer height h2, then fill the oil, with an oil layer height h3, and the total liquid level height h = h2 + h3; The water cushion height h2 is set according to experimental needs, generally 1 / 6 to 1 / 3 of the height of the combustion device 4. The oil layer height h3 is set according to experimental needs, generally 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the height of the combustion device 4. For example, when the height of the combustion device 4 is 300 mm, the water cushion height h2 can be set to between 50 mm and 100 mm, and the oil layer height h3 can be set to between 100 mm and 150 mm.

[0064] (2) Fill the heat preservation liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1, so that the liquid level height h1 in the heat preservation device 1 is consistent with the total liquid level height h in the combustion device 4; The heat preservation liquid medium is selected as heat conducting oil to facilitate experiments at higher temperatures. The liquid level height h1 in the heat preservation device 1 is consistent with the total liquid level height h in the combustion device 4, which ensures that the water cushion and oil layer are uniformly temperature-controlled.

[0065] (3) Operate the temperature control device 16, set the experimental temperature T1, start the heat exchange device 11, open the electric valve 9, and control the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 to be stable at the set experimental temperature T1.

[0066] The experimental temperature T1 is set according to the experimental requirements, generally in the range of normal temperature to below the boiling point of water. For example, the experimental temperature T1 can be set to 20℃, 40℃, 60℃, 80℃, 95℃, etc. The temperature control device 16 controls the heat exchange device 11 to heat the heat preservation liquid medium, so that the temperature of the heat preservation liquid medium is stabilized at the set experimental temperature T1, and the temperature fluctuation is controlled within ±0.5℃.

[0067] (4) Start the monitoring device 15 to monitor the visible light probe 13, the infrared probe 12, the thermal radiation probe 14, the second temperature probe 5, and the second liquid level probe 6. The monitoring device 15 collects, records, and displays data of each sensor. The visible light probe 13 records the visible light image of the flame and the possible boiling overflow spatter phenomenon, and the sampling frequency is increased to 100fps to capture the instantaneous boiling overflow spatter phenomenon. The infrared probe 12 records the infrared image of the flame and the possible boiling overflow spatter phenomenon, and the sampling frequency is 30fps. The thermal radiation probe 14 records the thermal radiation intensity of the flame, and the sampling frequency is 1Hz. The temperature probe records the temperature of the water cushion layer, the oil layer, and the heat preservation liquid medium, and the sampling frequency is 1Hz. The liquid level probe records the liquid level height of the water cushion layer, the oil layer, and the heat preservation liquid medium, and the sampling frequency is 1Hz.

[0068] (5) After the temperature of the water cushion layer in the combustion device 4 and the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 are stabilized at the set experimental temperature T1, ignite the oil in the combustion device 4. When the temperature of the water cushion layer in the combustion device 4 and the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 are stabilized at the set experimental temperature T1, and the temperature fluctuation is controlled within ±0.5℃ for 30 minutes, use an igniter to ignite the oil in the combustion device 4. The igniter is an electric spark igniter, and the ignition position is the center position of the oil surface.

[0069] (6) Control the monitoring device 15 to record experimental data, and pay special attention to the occurrence time, intensity, and duration of the boiling overflow spatter phenomenon. The monitoring device 15 continuously records various parameters during the combustion process, and pays special attention to the occurrence time, intensity, and duration of the boiling overflow spatter phenomenon. The experimental duration is set according to the experimental requirements, generally for 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until the boiling overflow spatter phenomenon ends. The experimental data is saved to the computer hard disk in real time for subsequent research.

[0070] (7) After the experiment is completed, control the liquid discharge outlet of the heat preservation device 1 to lower and stabilize the liquid level height in the heat preservation device 1 to the same height as the support, and then close the liquid discharge outlet.

[0071] (8) Adjust the set experimental temperature to carry out experimental research under different initial temperatures of the water cushion layer, and monitor the influence of different water cushion layer temperatures on the oil tank fire boiling overflow spatter behavior.

[0072] After completing a set of experiments, clean the combustion device 4, replace the new water and oil, adjust the set experimental temperature T2, repeat steps (1) to (7), and carry out experimental research under different initial temperatures of the water cushion. By comparing the experimental data under different initial temperatures of the water cushion, the influence of different water cushion temperatures on the boiling overflow spatter behavior of the oil tank fire is studied.

[0073] The method can be applied to the safety research of oil tank fires, can safely control the initial temperature boundary condition of the water cushion, can study the influence of different water cushion temperatures on the boiling overflow spatter behavior of the oil tank fire, and can provide a scientific basis for the prevention and extinguishing of oil tank fires.

[0074] The method can provide experimental conditions for the following studies: 1. The occurrence time law of the boiling overflow spatter phenomenon under different initial temperatures of the water cushion. Generally, as the initial temperature of the water cushion increases, the occurrence time of the boiling overflow spatter phenomenon will be advanced.

[0075] 2. The intensity law of the boiling overflow spatter phenomenon under different initial temperatures of the water cushion. The change of the initial temperature of the water cushion will affect the intensity of the boiling overflow spatter phenomenon, including the spatter height, spatter range, and spatter amount.

[0079] Example Four The present embodiment provides a method for simulating the influence of ambient temperature changes on the behavior of a storage tank fire, which is based on the device in Example One, and the specific steps are as follows: (1) According to the experimental scheme, fill the required liquid fuel in the combustion device 4, and set the liquid level height h0. The liquid fuel is selected as crude oil, and the liquid level height h0 is set as 1 / 2 of the height of the combustion device 4. For example, when the height of the combustion device 4 is 300 mm, the liquid level height h0 is set as 150 mm.

The initial experiment temperature T1 is set as 20 DEG C, the temperature control device 16 controls the heat exchange device 11 to heat or cool the heat preservation liquid medium through the PLC controller, so that the temperature of the heat preservation liquid medium is stably controlled at 20 DEG C, and the temperature fluctuation is controlled within ± 0.5 DEG C.

[0082] (4) The monitoring device 15 is started, and the visible light probe 13, the infrared probe 12, the thermal radiation probe 14, the temperature probe and the liquid level probe are monitored. The monitoring device 15 collects and records data of each sensor and displays, and the sampling frequency is the same as that of embodiment two.

[0083] (5) After the temperature of the fuel in the combustion device 4 and the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 are stably controlled at the set initial experiment temperature T1, the liquid fuel in the combustion device 4 is ignited. When the temperature of the fuel in the combustion device 4 and the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 are stably controlled at 20 DEG C, and the temperature fluctuation is controlled within ± 0.5 DEG C for 30 minutes, the liquid fuel in the combustion device 4 is ignited by using an electric spark igniter. The ignition position is the center position of the surface of the liquid fuel.

[0084] (6) The temperature control device 16 is controlled according to the preset temperature change curve, the temperature of the liquid medium in the heat preservation device 1 is changed, and the change of the environment temperature is simulated. The preset temperature change curve is that the initial temperature is 20 DEG C, the temperature is increased to 80 DEG C at a rate of 2 DEG C / min, the temperature of 80 DEG C is kept for 30 minutes, and then the temperature is decreased to 20 DEG C at a rate of 2 DEG C / min. The temperature control device 16 controls the heat exchange device 11 to heat or cool the heat preservation liquid medium through the PLC controller, so that the temperature of the heat preservation liquid medium changes according to the preset temperature change curve, and the temperature fluctuation is controlled within ± 1 DEG C.

[0085] (7) After the experiment is finished, the liquid outlet of the heat preservation device 1 is controlled, the liquid level height in the heat preservation device 1 is lowered and stably controlled to be consistent with the height of the support, and the liquid outlet is closed when the liquid level height in the heat preservation device 1 is stably controlled to be consistent with the height of the support.

[0086] (8) The experiment data and images are recorded and displayed by controlling the monitoring device 15.

[0087] The monitoring device 15 continuously records various parameters during the combustion process, including the combustion rate, flame height, thermal radiation intensity, temperature distribution, etc. The experimental duration is the total time of the temperature change curve, approximately 120 minutes. Experimental data are saved in real time to the computer hard disk for subsequent research.

Generally, as the environmental temperature rises, the combustion rate of the liquid fuel will increase, but the increase amplitude is related to the fuel type and temperature change rate.

[0090] 2. The change pattern of the combustion rate of the storage tank fire during the process of environmental temperature falling. Environmental temperature falling will cause the combustion rate of the liquid fuel to decrease, but the decrease amplitude is related to the fuel type and temperature change rate.

The duration of the experiment is set according to the needs of the experiment, generally 2 to 4 hours, or until the thermal wave propagates to the bottom of the heavy oil. The experimental data are saved in real time to the computer hard disk for subsequent research.

[0105] (8) After the experiment is completed, control the drain outlet of the heat preservation device 1 to lower and stabilize the liquid level height in the heat preservation device 1 to be consistent with the height of the support.
