Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The existing hot gas aerosol fire extinguishing principle is through solid phase oxidation-reduction reaction, forms the dense gas aerosol smoke composed of N, a small amount of CO, H2O and carbonate, metal oxide, rapidly fills the space, uses the gas phase composition dilution, oxygen isolation effect and heat absorption decomposition cooling effect and chemical inhibition effect to extinguish the flame.

[0003] The hot gas aerosol is generated by high-temperature combustion reaction, and the reaction process is all exothermic reaction. The hot aerosol smoke needs to be cooled before being released to the protection space for fire extinguishing. If not cooled or the cooling technology is unreasonable, the high-temperature flame and residue in the combustion reaction will be accompanied by the aerosol from the generator to the outside, which is easy to cause secondary fire in the protection area. Therefore, effective cooling technology is the key to improve the fire extinguishing efficiency and avoid secondary fire accidents. There are three ways to cool the hot gas aerosol, physical cooling, chemical external cooling and chemical internal cooling. Physical cooling is to use some materials with large heat capacity, or to set baffles and labyrinth flow channels in the device to remove residual sparks and cool down. This method only distributes heat evenly, has a cooling effect in the initial stage of spraying, and loses effect after temperature balance, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Chemical internal cooling is to add a cooling agent or a material that can easily absorb heat and decompose gasification in the reaction agent to reduce the reaction temperature, but this scheme will affect the stability and reaction speed of the oxidation-reduction reaction.
