Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water fire protection, and particularly relates to a pressure relief valve capable of automatically adjusting the action value according to the inlet pressure and a pump house applying the same. Background Technique
[0002] Article 5.1.6 of the Technical Code for Fire Protection Water Supply and Fire Hydrant Systems GB50974-2014 stipulates that the flow-head performance curve of the fire pump should be a smooth curve without humps and inflection points. The pressure at zero flow should not be greater than 140% of the design working pressure and should preferably be greater than 120% of the design working pressure. At the same time, Article 5.1.16 stipulates that: for a temporary high-pressure fire protection water supply system, technical measures should be taken to prevent the fire pump from idling and overheating at low flow rates. Therefore, when designing, a pressure relief valve is installed on the outlet main pipe of the fire pump, and the action pressure of the pressure relief valve is set between 120% and 140% of the pump head. When the pressure in the pipe network is too high and the pump flow rate is small, the pressure relief valve discharges water to prevent the pump from idling and overheating.
[0003] Article 4.2.1 of the Technical Code for Fire Protection Water Supply and Fire Hydrant Systems GB50974-2014 stipulates that: when the municipal water supply pipe network supplies water continuously, the fire protection water supply system can adopt the direct water supply of the municipal water supply pipe network; Article 7.1.2 of the Fire Prevention Design Standard for Subways GB51298-2018 stipulates that: fire protection water should preferably be supplied by the municipal water supply pipe network. For quite a number of fire protection systems, especially the subway fire protection system, the municipal direct supply of fire protection water is mostly adopted. Then, the action pressure of the pressure relief valve should not only consider the pump head of the fire pump, but also consider the influence of the superposition of the municipal pressure. In this case, the action pressure of the pressure relief valve is often set according to "(1.2 - 1.4) × pump head + municipal water pressure".
[0004] Taking the designed head of the pump as P, the head of the pump at zero flow ≤ 1.4P, the designed inlet water pressure of the municipal water supply as P0, and the designed dynamic pressure of the fire protection pipe network as P + P0, the action value of the pressure relief valve is P1 = 1.4P + P0. However, during the peak and trough of the municipal water pressure, the water pressure fluctuates greatly. Especially for subway projects, most of them are built in urban areas with dense population and large water consumption. The fluctuation range value of the municipal water pressure is P0 ± △P. When the fire pump is started during the low water consumption period, the municipal water pressure is relatively high, and the maximum municipal water pressure is P0 max = P0 + △P, the starting pressure of the fire pump is about 1.4P, and the pressure of the fire protection pipe network behind the pump = 1.4P + P0 + △P = P1 + △P > P1. It is equivalent to that the fire protection system has reached the action value of the pressure relief valve at the starting stage, resulting in the opening and discharging of the pressure relief valve and affecting fire extinguishing. When it is the peak water consumption period, the minimum municipal water pressure is P0 min= P0 - △P, the pressure of the fire protection pipe network after the pump = 1.4P + P0 - △P = P1 - △P < P1. That is, when the fire pump operates at low flow, 1.4P < the head of the pump < P1 - (P0 - △P). At this time, the fire pump may run idly at low flow, and the situation where the system pressure relief is not triggered yet may occur, resulting in deviation in the pressure control of the fire protection system at the same time.
[0005] Therefore, developing and designing a pressure relief valve that can automatically adjust the action value according to the inlet pressure to eliminate the influence of municipal water pressure fluctuations on the action of the pressure relief valve has become an urgent problem for us to solve currently.

[0048] Furthermore, it can also be considered in this embodiment that a stop valve 11 and a Y-type filter 10 are provided on the connecting pipe 12 to prevent debris from blocking the conduit and facilitate disassembly and maintenance. Embodiment 2
[0049] A pump room applying the pressure relief valve capable of automatically adjusting the action value according to the inlet water pressure described in Embodiment 1. The inlet main pipe of the water pump 18 in the pump room is connected to the municipal water supply pipe, the outlet main pipe of the water pump 18 is connected to the fire hydrant network, and a pressure relief pipe is also installed on the outlet main pipe of the water pump 18. The pressure relief valve is integrally installed on the pressure relief pipe. The upper chamber D of the pilot valve body diaphragm is connected to the inlet main pipe of the water pump 18 in the pump room through the connecting pipe 12, and the water pressure in the inlet main pipe of the water pump is conducted to the upper chamber D of the pilot valve diaphragm through the connecting pipe 12.
[0050] Furthermore, it can also be considered in this embodiment that the front chamber A of the main valve body 1 is connected to the water inlet side of the pressure relief pipe, and the rear chamber B of the main valve body 1 is connected to the water outlet side of the pressure relief pipe. The arrow direction in the figure represents the water flow direction.
[0051] The specific implementation process of the above embodiment:
[0052] Please refer to Figure 2As shown in the installation position of the pressure relief valve, through the connecting pipe 12, the water pressure in the water inlet pipe of the water pump can be conducted to the upper chamber D of the pilot valve diaphragm, and this water pressure is the municipal water pressure P0. At the same time, by adjusting the screw 8 on the pilot valve, the length of the spring 4 can be compressed or relaxed to adjust the pressing force of the spring 4. Taking this pressing force as P2, according to the relevant specification requirements, adjust the pressure value P2 = P×(1.2 - 1.4). Then the action pressure value of this pressure relief valve is set as P1 = P2 + P0 = P×(1.2 - 1.4) + P0. When the water pressure in front of the valve A rises to be greater than P1, the water flow passes through the conduit 13 and enters the lower chamber E of the pilot valve diaphragm. Under the action of this water pressure, the spring 4 is compressed, and the pilot valve spool 5 rises. At this time, the water in the upper chamber C of the main valve diaphragm is discharged through the conduits 14 and 15. Under the action of the water pressure in front of the valve A, the main valve spool 2 opens, and the water flow is discharged, achieving the purpose of pipeline pressure relief.
[0053] When the water pressure in front of the main valve A drops to be less than P1, the water pressure at the lower chamber E of the pilot valve diaphragm decreases. Under the combined action of the spring and the water pressure in the upper chamber of the pilot valve, the pilot valve spool closes, and the water discharge from the upper chamber C of the main valve diaphragm stops, and water continues to be replenished through the conduit 13. When the water pressure in the upper chamber C of the diaphragm is the same as the water pressure in A inside the valve body, due to the area of the diaphragm being larger than that of the spool, under the action of the pressure difference, the spool 2 closes, and at this time the pipeline stops pressure relief.
[0054] Here, the function of automatically adjusting the action pressure value of this pressure reducing valve is emphasized. The upper chamber D of the pilot valve diaphragm is connected to the water inlet pipe of the water pump through the connecting pipe 12, and the municipal water pressure P0 is conducted to the upper chamber D of the pilot valve diaphragm. By adjusting the spring length, the action pressure value of the pressure relief valve is determined as P1 = P2 + P0. When the water pump is running, the water pressure in front of the main valve A of the pressure relief valve is the sum of the municipal water pressure P0 and the water pump boost. This water pressure is introduced into the lower chamber E of the diaphragm through the conduit 13. That is, the municipal water pressure is introduced into both the upper chamber D and the lower chamber E of the pilot valve diaphragm, and the municipal water pressures on both sides of the diaphragm cancel each other out, and the fluctuations of the municipal water pressure P0 also cancel each other out. In actual use, it can be manifested that this pressure relief valve automatically adjusts the action value according to the inlet water pressure, or it can be considered that this pressure relief valve can "filter" the influence of the municipal water pressure fluctuation, thereby improving the accuracy of its action pressure value, enabling the fire protection system to accurately and timely relieve pressure, and ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the fire protection system.
