The oxygen cylinder 11 and the propane cylinder 12 are respectively connected to the gas mass flow meter 13 through a first gas pipeline to control the gas flow rate and flow rate. The gas mass flow meter 13 is then connected to the burner 14 through a second gas pipeline for fire supply.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the sample system includes a sample holder 21, a sample box 22, a thermocouple 23, an infrared thermal imager 24, a sample to be tested 25, and fasteners 26. The sample holder 21 provides support for the overall sample system 2.

[0036] The sample box 22 is a rectangular cavity structure with openings at the front and back. The sample to be tested 25 is placed in the central channel of the sample box 22. There are two water inlets on the back of the sample box 22 that are connected to the cooling system 3. When the cooling circulation system 33 of the cooling system 3 supplies water, it can cool down the sample box 22.

[0037] The fire supply system 1 applies a stable flame at a fixed time and temperature (between 1200℃ and 2000℃) to the fire-exposed surface of the test sample 25. The infrared thermal imager 24 is located 1m directly in front of the fire-exposed surface of the test sample 25 and is used to collect the temperature of the fire-exposed surface and the flame temperature of the test sample 25.

[0038] The test sample 25 is fixed in the sample box 22 by fastener 26. Specifically, the fastener 26 has a circular through hole in the middle for water to flow to the back of the test sample 25.

The cooling water circulation device 33 is connected to the water inlet on the back of the sample box 22 via a water supply pipe to provide a cooling effect to the side of the sample 25 to be tested inside the sample box 22.

[0041] When this utility model device is used, the specific steps include:

[0042] (1) Flame temperature control:

[0043] First, adjust the gas flow rate and the distance between the burner 14 and the center of the flame-receiving surface of the test sample 25 according to the test conditions to make the flame temperature reach the set temperature.

[0044] (2) Sample installation:

Fix the test sample 25 in the sample box 22, with the flame-receiving surface facing the center of the burner 14. Place two thermocouples 23 in the central area of ​​the unflamed surface. The thermocouples 23 can measure the temperature change of the back of the sample in real time. After setting the water flow rate, flow water to the back of the sample, turn on the cooling water circulation device, and ignite to prepare for the test.

[0046] (3) Sample back temperature data acquisition and processing

[0047] Test sample 25 according to the set parameters, observe the test phenomena that occur in test sample 25 during the test, test the weight of the sample after the test, calculate the mass ablation rate and linear ablation rate, obtain the change curves of flame temperature and sample back temperature over time during the test, and evaluate the fire resistance performance of the sweating material.

[0048] Therefore, this utility model uses the above-mentioned sweating cooling material fire resistance test device to explore the thermal protection efficiency of porous media materials under high temperature, high heat flux density and different coolant pressure conditions.
