[0028] As mentioned in the background section, in fire and combustion research, jet flames are widely used in basic and applied research on flame morphology, combustion stability, and pollutant emissions due to their unique structure and controllability. Ambient temperature has a significant impact on the key characteristic parameters of jet flames.
[0029] The accelerating global warming and frequent extreme weather events, including extreme high and low temperatures, pose potential risks to my country's industrial and urban development, major projects, and infrastructure construction. They also present severe challenges to disaster prevention and pollution control under extreme weather conditions. Fire behavior and pollution generation under extreme temperature environments are significant factors affecting social stability and economic development, and are core challenges in implementing major national strategies. Traditional methods for fire risk assessment and carbon emission control are insufficient in these areas.
[0030] However, current research methods often have significant shortcomings in environmental temperature control, failing to simultaneously achieve rapid switching and stable maintenance of extreme high and low temperature environments, severely limiting in-depth analysis of the thermal properties of flame structures under different thermal boundary conditions. Furthermore, some research methods fail to achieve automatic closed-loop control of gas temperature and flow rate, resulting in lag in temperature control response, low data accuracy, and reliance on manual adjustments, which is detrimental to large-scale data acquisition and reproducible experimental design.
[0031] Specifically, ambient temperature is one of the key factors affecting flame behavior, especially under extreme temperature conditions (such as below -40℃ or above 50℃), where the combustion characteristics, soot generation, and radiation behavior of the flame change significantly. However, current experimental devices suffer from the following problems in temperature control: limited temperature control range: traditional equipment struggles to achieve continuous adjustment from extreme low temperatures (such as -130℃) to high temperatures (such as 300℃) within the same system; low temperature control accuracy and slow response: relying on manual adjustment, it cannot achieve closed-loop automatic control of gas temperature and flow; low system integration: temperature control, gas supply, and data acquisition modules are scattered, making operation complex and repeatability poor; lack of extreme environment simulation capabilities: unable to meet the needs of fire safety research in extreme environments such as polar regions, plateaus, and high-temperature industries. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fire simulation experimental device capable of achieving wide temperature range, high precision, and automated control.
[0032] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system, high and low temperature environment fire simulation method, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium proposed in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] Furthermore, the exhaust gas treatment subsystem includes a gas-liquid separator 13, a recovery storage tank 14, an exhaust gas buffer tank 15, and an air pump 16.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a high and low temperature environment fire simulation method according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the high and low temperature environment fire simulation method of this invention may include the following steps: S301, set the target temperature of the accompanying air.
[0052] Specifically, the target temperature of the accompanying air can be set according to the application scenario, fuel characteristics, flame stability, and equipment performance. Enter the target temperature in the human-machine interface of the control cabinet.
[0053] S302, start the heat exchange unit and / or heating unit to cool or heat the accompanying air flowing through the inner pipeline; use the first temperature sensor to collect the actual temperature of the accompanying air in real time.
[0054] Specifically, the heat exchange unit and / or heating unit are activated to cool or heat the accompanying air flowing through the inner pipeline. The actual temperature of the accompanying air can be collected in real time by a first temperature sensor installed in the accompanying air pipeline of the burner. For example, when the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, the heat exchange unit is activated to cool the air flowing through the inner pipe; when the target temperature is higher than the actual temperature, the heating unit is activated to heat the air flowing through the inner pipe.
[0055] S303 calculates the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, and dynamically adjusts the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline and / or the power of the heating unit based on the deviation.
[0056] Specifically, after obtaining the target temperature and the actual temperature, the control cabinet calculates the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature. In other words, the absolute value of the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature calculated by the control cabinet. The flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline and / or the power of the heating unit are dynamically adjusted according to the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, so that the actual temperature is as close as possible to and stabilized at the target temperature.
[0057] S304, in response to the deviation value meeting the preset deviation value range, controls the combustion system to supply fuel to the gas pipeline and ignite it to conduct a fire simulation experiment. The preset deviation value range can be calibrated according to actual conditions.
[0058] Specifically, after obtaining the deviation value, it is determined whether the deviation value meets the preset deviation value range. When the deviation value meets the preset deviation range, the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system enters steady-state mode, maintaining the opening of the low temperature solenoid valve or the heating power of the electric heating belt unchanged. At this time, the combustion system is controlled to supply fuel to the gas pipeline and ignite it to conduct a fire simulation experiment. This enables precise control of the temperature of fuel gas and accompanying air, full-cycle experimental observation and data acquisition of fires in high and low temperature environments, and achieves efficient conversion and real-time monitoring of gas heating and cooling.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, dynamically adjusting the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline and / or the power of the heating unit based on the deviation value includes: determining whether the actual temperature is not less than a first preset temperature and less than a second preset temperature; in response to the actual temperature being not less than the first preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature, determining that the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system is in cooling mode, inputting the deviation value into a PID controller, calculating a first control signal, and converting the first control signal into an opening command for the low-temperature solenoid valve to adjust the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline. The first preset temperature and the second preset temperature can be calibrated according to actual conditions.
[0060] Specifically, after obtaining the actual temperature, it is compared with a first preset temperature (e.g., -130℃) and a second preset temperature (e.g., 25℃) to determine whether the actual temperature is not less than the first preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature. If the actual temperature is not less than the first preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature, the heat exchange unit is activated, and the low-temperature solenoid valve is controlled according to the initial opening command. Turn on the system and ensure the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system is in cooling mode. Input the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature into the PID controller (or use fuzzy control or adaptive PID). The PID controller will then execute the preset parameters. , , Parameters, calculate the first control signal ,Right now
[0061] in, As a proportional term, when the deviation value When it increases, the first control signal Increase; The integral term accumulates small deviations to eliminate steady-state error; As the differential term, the output is adjusted according to the rate of change of the deviation to suppress overshoot.
[0062] The first control signal is converted into an opening command for the cryogenic solenoid valve. The cryogenic solenoid valve adjusts the flow rate of the heat exchange medium (such as liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide) entering the external pipeline according to the opening command. That is, the cryogenic solenoid valve opens according to the opening command, and the heat exchange medium flows through the vacuum-insulated pipeline and exits from the outlet of the external pipeline. The liquid nitrogen / nitrogen mixture in the external pipeline flows out from the outlet of the external pipeline and enters the gas-liquid separator. The gas-liquid separator separates the unvaporized liquid nitrogen and the vaporized nitrogen. The liquid phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected to a recovery storage tank, and the gas phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected to an exhaust buffer tank. Ambient temperature gas is introduced into the exhaust buffer tank to raise the nitrogen temperature to a higher level.
[0063] When the actual temperature of the accompanying air meets the preset deviation range, the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system enters steady state mode. The PID controller maintains the opening of the low temperature solenoid valve unchanged, and the first temperature sensor continuously monitors the actual temperature of the accompanying air. If the actual temperature of the accompanying air deviates from the target temperature due to external interference, the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system will repeatedly calculate the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, and dynamically adjust the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline according to the deviation value to maintain temperature stability.
[0064] Set the target flow rate on the control cabinet. The system adjusts the gas pressure reducing valve to make the actual flow reach the target flow, controls the combustion system to supply fuel to the gas pipeline and ignites it, and conducts a fire simulation experiment. If the actual temperature of the accompanying air deviates from the target temperature due to the reset (when the actual temperature is not less than the first preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature), the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system will repeatedly calculate the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, and dynamically adjust the opening of the low temperature solenoid valve according to the deviation value to dynamically adjust the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, dynamically adjusting the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline and / or the power of the heating unit based on the deviation value further includes: determining whether the actual temperature is not less than a second preset temperature and less than a third preset temperature; wherein the third preset temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, and the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature; in response to the actual temperature being not less than the second preset temperature and less than the third preset temperature, confirming that the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system is in heating mode, inputting the deviation value into the PID controller, calculating a second control signal, and converting the second control signal into a heating power command for the electric heating belt to adjust the power of the heating unit. The third preset temperature can be calibrated according to actual conditions.
[0066] Specifically, the actual temperature is compared with the second and third preset temperatures (e.g., 300℃) to determine whether the actual temperature is not less than the second or third preset temperature. If the actual temperature is not less than the second or third preset temperature, the heating unit is activated and the initial heating power is applied. Turn on the heating to ensure the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system is in heating mode. Input the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature into the PID controller. The PID controller will then adjust the settings according to the preset parameters. , , Parameters, calculate the second control signal ,Right now
[0067] in, As a proportional term, when the deviation value When it increases, the second control signal Increase; The integral term accumulates small deviations to eliminate steady-state error; As the differential term, the output is adjusted according to the rate of change of the deviation to suppress overshoot.
[0068] The second control signal is converted into a heating power command for the electric heating belt. The electric heating belt adjusts the power of the heating unit according to the heating power command.
[0069] When the actual temperature of the accompanying air meets the preset deviation range, the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system enters steady state mode. The PID controller maintains the heating power of the electric heating belt unchanged, and the first temperature sensor continuously monitors the actual temperature of the accompanying air. If the actual temperature of the accompanying air deviates from the target temperature due to external interference, the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system will repeatedly calculate the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, and dynamically adjust the heating power of the electric heating belt according to the deviation to maintain temperature stability.
[0070] Set the target flow rate on the control cabinet. The system adjusts the gas pressure reducing valve to make the actual flow reach the target flow, controls the combustion system to supply fuel to the gas pipeline and ignites it, and conducts a fire simulation experiment. If the actual temperature of the accompanying air deviates from the target temperature due to the reset (the actual temperature is not less than the second preset temperature and less than the third preset temperature), the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system will repeatedly calculate the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, and dynamically adjust the heating power of the electric heating belt according to the deviation.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: cutting off the fuel supply in response to the end of the experiment; closing the cryogenic solenoid valve if the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system is in cooling mode at the end of the experiment; closing the electric heating belt if the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system is in heating mode at the end of the experiment; monitoring the safe temperature of the second temperature sensor, and turning off the air pump in response to the safe temperature reaching the safe temperature threshold. The safe temperature threshold can be calibrated according to actual conditions.
[0072] Specifically, at the end of the experiment, the fuel supply is cut off. It is then determined whether the high and low temperature environment fire simulation system is in cooling mode at the end of the experiment. If it is in cooling mode (meaning the actual temperature is not lower than the first preset temperature and is lower than the second preset temperature), the low-temperature solenoid valve and the gas mass flow meter are shut off. If it is not in cooling mode (meaning it is in heating mode, meaning the actual temperature is not lower than the second preset temperature and is lower than the third preset temperature), the electric heating belt and the gas mass flow meter are shut off. The safe temperature of the gas emitted from the outlet of the high-altitude exhaust pipe can be monitored by a second temperature sensor installed at the outlet end of the high-altitude exhaust pipe. This safe temperature is compared with a safe temperature threshold (e.g., 25°C) to determine if the safe temperature has reached the threshold. If the safe temperature has reached the threshold, the air pump is shut off, and the experiment ends.
[0073] As a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The flowchart below shows a high and low temperature environment fire simulation method according to other embodiments of the present invention. The high and low temperature environment fire simulation method of the present invention may include the following steps: S401, set the target temperature of the accompanying air.
[0074] S402, Set the target flow rate of the accompanying air and introduce the accompanying air.
[0075] S403 uses the first temperature sensor to collect the actual temperature of the accompanying air in real time.
[0076] S404, determine whether the actual temperature is not less than the first preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature. If yes, proceed to step S405; if no, proceed to step S408.
[0077] S405, start the heat exchange unit and control the low-temperature solenoid valve to open according to the initial opening command.
[0078] S406 calculates the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, inputs the deviation value into the PID controller, calculates the first control signal, and converts the first control signal into an opening command for the cryogenic solenoid valve.
[0079] S407, the cryogenic solenoid valve adjusts the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the external pipeline according to the opening command.
[0080] S408, start the heating unit and start heating according to the initial heating power.
[0081] S409 calculates the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, inputs the deviation value into the PID controller, calculates the second control signal, and converts the second control signal into a heating power command for the electric heating belt.
[0082] S410, the electric heating belt adjusts the power of the heating unit according to the heating power command.
[0083] Therefore, this invention provides a precise and rapid-response method for simulating fires in high and low temperature environments, enabling temperature regulation within a range of 130-300℃, and facilitating full-cycle experimental observation and data acquisition for fires in high and low temperature environments. By combining a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with a high-efficiency electric heating belt and liquid nitrogen cooling, precise temperature control of the fuel gas and accompanying air is achieved. This allows for the study of the morphology and thermal distribution characteristics of combustible gas-air jet flames under different temperature conditions, making it suitable for fire safety research and assessment in extreme environments such as polar regions, high-altitude areas, and high-temperature industrial settings.
[0084] In summary, the high and low temperature environment fire simulation method according to embodiments of the present invention firstly sets the target temperature of the accompanying air; further, it activates the heat exchange unit and / or heating unit to cool or heat the accompanying air flowing through the inner pipeline; it then uses a first temperature sensor to collect the actual temperature of the accompanying air in real time; next, it calculates the deviation between the target temperature and the actual temperature, and dynamically adjusts the flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the outer pipeline and / or the power of the heating unit based on the deviation; finally, in response to the deviation meeting a preset deviation range, it controls the combustion system to supply fuel to the gas pipeline and ignite it to conduct a fire simulation experiment. Therefore, this method can precisely control the temperature of fuel gas and accompanying air, conduct full-cycle experimental observation and data acquisition for fires in high and low temperature environments, achieve efficient conversion and real-time monitoring of gas heating and cooling, improve data consistency and repeatability, enhance high and wide temperature control capabilities, and improve experimental efficiency and safety.
