Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fire protection, and more specifically, to a fire protection system for an iodine removal unit. Background Art

[0002] In nuclear power plants and other industrial sectors involving radioactive iodine treatment, iodine removal units are critical equipment, tasked with absorbing and removing radioactive iodine from the air. Iodine adsorption units, core components within these units, typically use materials such as activated carbon as an adsorption medium to efficiently capture and immobilize iodine, thereby ensuring environmental and personnel safety. However, with increasing operating time and changes in the external environment, potential fire risks arise within the iodine adsorption units. This is especially true when combustible materials such as activated carbon ignite due to various factors (such as high temperatures or short circuits), posing a serious threat to the safe operation of the unit and the surrounding environment.

[0003] Currently, the firefighting method commonly used within iodine removal units is mainly the flooding fire extinguishing system. This type of system sprays a certain concentration of fire extinguishing agent (such as carbon dioxide, dry powder, etc.) into the protected area to achieve the purpose of fire extinguishing. Although the flooding fire extinguishing system can control the spread of fire to a certain extent, it has the following disadvantages in actual application:

[0004] 1. Slow fire extinguishing speed: The flooding fire extinguishing system takes a certain amount of time to reach a sufficient concentration of fire extinguishing agent to suppress the flame. During this process, the fire may have caused a certain degree of damage to the internal equipment of the unit;

[0005] 2. Low fire extinguishing efficiency: Due to uneven distribution of fire extinguishing agent or limited spray angle, some fire sources may not be covered in a timely and effective manner, resulting in poor fire extinguishing effect. Utility Model Content

[0008] The main pipe is composed of several combined pipes and telescopic pipe assemblies. Any two adjacent combined pipes are connected by a telescopic pipe assembly. The two outer walls of each combined pipe are located above each iodine adsorber and are connected to branch pipes. The end of each branch pipe is provided with a nozzle.

[0009] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model, the fire-fighting connecting pipe, fire-fighting joint, combined pipe and branch pipe are all made of stainless steel.

[0010] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, a fixing frame is welded to the top outer wall of each combined tube, and the fixing frame is made of stainless steel.
