Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire fighting, in particular to a clean gas foam fire extinguishing system. Background Art

[0002] Storage tanks for low-boiling-point flammable liquids such as propylene oxide and n-pentane are widely used in petrochemical enterprises. Compared with other flammable liquids, the saturated vapor pressure of low-boiling-point flammable liquids is stronger. Once a fire occurs, it is difficult to extinguish the fire. If the disaster is not effectively controlled in time, there is a high possibility of explosion of flammable liquid storage tanks, spread of fire, and formation of major disasters such as flowing fire.

[0003] Traditionally, this type of flammable liquid storage tank is generally equipped with an air foam fire extinguishing system. However, multiple tests and studies within the industry have shown that air foam is only effective for ordinary flammable liquids, and can hardly be effectively extinguished for low-boiling-point flammable liquids, and some even cannot control the fire. In response to this phenomenon, clean gas foam fire extinguishing technology was later introduced, with clean gas represented by heptafluoropropane replacing traditional air, thus breaking the technical problem that low-boiling-point flammable liquids cannot be effectively extinguished once a fire occurs.

[0004] The existing pump-in clean gas foam mixing system uses a metering pump to inject clean gas into a mixer, and then mixes it with another set of mechanical pumps or other forms of driven foam mixed liquid.

[0005] The existing clean gas foam fire extinguishing technology represented by HFC-227ea is to pre-mix water and foam stock solution, then use HFC-227ea as the foaming medium of the foam mixture, and release it from the terminal generator after mixing it through the HFC-227ea foam mixing device. Experimental research has found that although this technology can extinguish low-boiling point flammable liquid fires, the vaporized HFC-227ea is difficult to be completely preserved in the foam. The actual content of HFC-227ea in the foam is relatively low, and the other part is lost in the atmosphere, which greatly reduces the fire extinguishing effect. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
