Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressurization system technology, and in particular to a pressurized building system and its two-stage pressurization device. Background Technology
[0002] Pressurized buildings have the function of increasing the internal pressure of a building, which can create a low-altitude air pressure environment in high-altitude areas and alleviate acute and chronic altitude sickness in people who live or travel for a long time.
[0003] The increase in internal air pressure in a pressurized building is achieved through a complete equipment system, with the pressurization equipment being the key component. Vortex blowers are a preferred choice for pressurization equipment due to their small size, light weight, low cost, high reliability, low maintenance requirements, and lack of low-frequency noise. However, the airflow of a vortex blower decreases rapidly with increasing back pressure; therefore, vortex blowers are currently used in the following pressurized buildings:
[0004] 1) Pressurized buildings at altitudes of 3500-4500 meters that increase the internal pressure to below 0.9 atmospheres;
[0005] 2) Pressurized buildings at altitudes above 4,500 meters.
[0006] For pressurized buildings at altitudes of 3,500-4,500 meters that increase the internal pressure to more than 0.9 atmospheres, and for pressurized buildings at altitudes above 4,500 meters, the pressurization equipment used is mostly screw fans and screw air compressors.
[0007] Screw blowers and screw air compressors have the following disadvantages:
[0008] 1. Large size and heavy weight make installation difficult at high altitudes: In areas above 4000m altitude, the physical functions of construction workers decline significantly, and the large size and heavy weight of screw fans and screw air compressors pose a huge challenge to the installation personnel.
[0009] 2. High life-cycle cost: Screw fans and screw air compressors have many parts and are highly complex, resulting in high initial investment costs. Furthermore, due to the large number of parts, there are more potential failures later on, increasing maintenance costs after construction and commissioning, leading to a high overall life-cycle cost.
[0010] 3. Increased complexity of the booster system: Due to issues such as low-frequency noise at the air outlet, screw air compressors and screw fans require specialized noise reduction devices; and due to lubricating oil contamination at the outlet, air purification devices are needed. The complexity of the booster system is thus increased. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] This utility model proposes a two-stage pressurization device for a pressurized building system.
[0037] The invention presents a first embodiment of a two-stage pressurization device for a pressurized building system. (Refer to...) Figure 1 In this embodiment, the two-stage pressurization device of the pressurized building system includes a primary pressurization device and a secondary pressurization device, wherein,
[0038] The first-stage booster device includes a first-stage booster 1 and a first booster pipe connected to the outlet of the first-stage booster 1. The outlet of the first booster pipe is connected to the inlet of the transition chamber 3.
[0039] The secondary booster device includes a second booster pipe and a second-stage booster device 2 located in the middle of the second booster pipe. The inlet of the second booster pipe is connected to the outlet of the transition chamber 3, and the outlet of the second booster pipe is connected to the inlet of the booster building 4.
[0040] Both the first-stage booster 1 and the second-stage booster 2 include a vortex fan. The first-stage booster uses outdoor air as the air source to perform first-stage boosting and send it to the transition chamber 3. The second-stage booster performs second-stage boosting on the air in the transition chamber 3 and sends it to the booster building 4.
[0041] This embodiment employs a two-stage pressurization method. The first stage uses outdoor air as the air source and delivers it to the transition chamber 3. The second stage uses the air from the transition chamber 3 as the air source and delivers it to the pressurized building 4. For ease of description, let the outdoor air pressure be p0, the transition chamber 3 air pressure be p1, the pressurized building 4 internal air pressure be p2, and the fresh air demand within the pressurized building 4 be q2 (the internal air pressure of the pressurized building 4 corresponds to the fresh air demand; the fresh air demand varies under different air pressure conditions, and the air pressure used to calculate q2 is p2). q2 is determined according to the "General Specification for Building Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Utilization".
[0042] The back pressure of the first-stage booster device 1 is approximately Δp1 = p1 - p0; the air volume of the first-stage booster device is q0 = (q2 * p2) / p0. When selecting the fan, the air volume is taken as 1.05 to 1.3 times q0, denoted as Q0. Q0 is the air volume of the booster device when the back pressure is Δp1, which is obtained through the fan characteristic curve.
[0043] Similarly, the back pressure of the second-stage booster device 2 is approximately Δp2 = p2 - p1; the air volume of the second-stage booster device is q1 = (q2 * p2) / p1. When selecting a fan, the air volume is taken as 1.05 to 1.2 times q1, denoted as Q1. Q1 is the air volume when the back pressure of the booster device is Δp2, which is obtained through the fan characteristic curve.
[0044] Furthermore, the two-stage pressurization device of this pressurized building system also includes a controller 10 electrically connected to the first-stage pressurization device 1 and the second-stage pressurization device 2 to control their opening or closing. It should be noted that the connection circuit between the controller 10 and the first-stage pressurization device 1 and the second-stage pressurization device 2 is a conventional design in the prior art; therefore, its circuit diagram is omitted here.
[0045] In this embodiment, by setting up a controller 10, automatic control of the switching of the first-stage booster device 1 and the second-stage booster device 2 is realized, simplifying the manual operation process.
[0046] Furthermore, the two-stage pressurization device of this pressurized building system includes a first pressure transmitter 6 installed inside the transition chamber 3 and electrically connected to the controller 10. The two-stage pressurization device of this pressurized building system also includes a second pressure transmitter 7 installed inside the pressurized building 4 and electrically connected to the controller 10. The two-stage pressurization device of this pressurized building system also includes a CO2 concentration sensor 8 installed inside the pressurized building 4 and electrically connected to the controller 10.
[0047] The controller 10 is electrically connected to the first pressure transmitter 6, the second pressure transmitter 7, and the CO2 concentration sensor 8. The controller 10 can adjust the operation of different booster devices according to different pressure values, making the device more intelligent and greatly simplifying manual operation.
[0048] The two-stage pressurization device of this pressurized building system also includes a pressure relief valve installed on the exhaust port of the pressurized building 4. The pressure relief valve is an electric pressure relief valve 9, which is electrically connected to the controller 10. The controller 10 can selectively open the electric pressure relief valve 9 according to the internal pressure of the pressurized building 4 to reduce the internal pressure of the pressurized building 4.
[0049] Furthermore, valve 5 is also installed on the first pressurization pipeline. In certain situations where the first-stage pressurization equipment 1 is not required to supply air, the corresponding valve can be closed. Valve 5 is a one-way valve.
[0050] The two-stage booster unit operates in three modes: boosting, pressurizing, and ventilation. These will be explained in detail below.
[0051] Boost mode:
[0052] Step 1: After the building pressurization begins, the first-stage pressurization equipment 1 starts working, and at this time the air pressure in the transition chamber 3 and the pressurization building 4 increases simultaneously;
[0053] Step 2: When the pressure of the second pressure transmitter 7 rises to p1, the second-stage booster device 2 starts to work.
[0054] Step 3: When the pressure of the second pressure transmitter 7 rises to p2, the first-stage booster device 1 and the second-stage booster device 2 stop working simultaneously, and the pressurization is completed.
[0055] Pressure replenishment status:
[0056] Step 1: When the pressure of the second pressure transmitter 7 drops to the baseline pressure, the controller 10 controls the first-stage booster device 1 and the second-stage booster device 2 to start simultaneously;
[0057] Step 2: When the pressure of the second pressure transmitter 7 rises to P2, the controller 10 controls the first-stage booster device 1 and the second-stage booster device 2 to stop working simultaneously, and the pressure replenishment is completed.
[0058] Ventilation status:
[0059] Step 1: When the CO2 concentration sensor 8 measures 1500ppm, the controller 10 controls the electric pressure relief valve 9 to open, the air pressure in the pressurization building 4 decreases, and the first-stage pressurization device 1 and the second-stage pressurization device 2 are started at the same time.
[0060] Step 2: When the CO2 concentration sensor 8 drops to 600ppm or below, the controller 10 closes the electric pressure relief valve 9.
[0061] Step 3: When the pressure of the second pressure transmitter 7 rises to P2, the controller 10 controls the first-stage booster device 1 and the second-stage booster device 2 to stop working simultaneously, and the air exchange is completed.
[0062] The two-stage pressurization device for the pressurized building system proposed in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0063] 1. To realize the use of vortex fans as pressurization equipment for pressurized buildings at altitudes above 4500 meters and pressurized buildings at altitudes of 3500-4500 meters to increase the indoor air pressure to above 0.9 standard atmospheres;
[0064] 2. The cost of this booster unit is low: because the cost of a vortex blower is much lower than that of a screw blower and a screw air compressor, the initial investment of the project can be reduced;
[0065] 3. Its maintenance complexity is greatly reduced and its reliability is improved: because the complexity of vortex blowers is far lower than that of screw air compressors and screw blowers, their reliability is higher; and because vortex blowers are small in weight and size, they are easy to replace during maintenance and will not cause the pressurization building to be unusable for a long time during maintenance.
[0066] 4. Since the vortex fan does not require a complex silencing system and air purification system, the structure of this two-stage booster device is simpler.
[0067] This utility model also proposes a second embodiment of a two-stage pressurization device for a pressurized building system. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, the first-stage booster device includes a group of multiple parallel first-stage booster units forming a first-stage booster equipment group, and each first-stage booster unit includes a first-stage booster device 1 and a first booster pipe; the second-stage booster device includes a group of multiple parallel second-stage booster units forming a second-stage booster equipment group, and each second-stage booster unit includes a second-stage booster device 2 and a second booster pipe.
[0068] At this point, Q0 is the sum of the air volume of all fans in the first-stage booster group when the back pressure is Δp1, and Q1 is the sum of the air volume of all fans in the second-stage booster system when the back pressure is Δp2.
[0069] By setting up multiple parallel primary and secondary booster units, when one primary or secondary booster unit fails, the other primary and secondary booster units can take over. This ensures the stability of the pressure supply to the booster building and facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the primary and secondary booster units.
[0070] This utility model also proposes a pressurized building system.
[0071] In this preferred embodiment, a pressurized building system includes a two-stage pressurization device, a transition chamber 3, and a pressurized building 4. The specific structure and beneficial effects of the two-stage pressurization device are the same as those in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0072] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
