Description

Determine the device of stream parameter and the method for moving described device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fluid stream to be monitored that is used for determining, the stream parameter in flue dust and gas pumping alarm particularly, temperature particularly, the device of flow velocity and variation thereof, it has the pneumatic sensor under the constant temperature mode operation of a thermoelectricity, a thermoelectric temperature sensor and a regulating circuit that is used to adjust the overtemperature Δ T on the pneumatic sensor the invention still further relates to a kind of method of moving described this device, a kind of method of work and a kind of fire/condition of a fire (Brand) recognition device or oxygen measurement device that is equipped with described kind of device that utilizes described device accordingly.
Background technology
Particularly by the device of the stream parameter described type of known beginning in the heater strip formula wind gage, definite and the correlation method that moves this device.Here the tinsel with heating places mobile fluid, according to the information of the heat acquisition of deriving from fluid about the various flows parameter.
There are two kinds of basic working methods for heater strip formula wind gage: constant current working method and constant temperature working method, in most of the cases use the constant temperature working method, because the degree of precision that particularly can avoid the thermal inertia of heater strip (probe) this moment and realize thus popping one's head in.
The basic thought of constant temperature working method is, reduces the influence of the thermal inertia of probe like this, promptly heater strip is remained on stationary temperature (resistance) all the time and heating current that will the be required for this reason scale as rate of flow of fluid.Usually use a Wheatstone bridge for this reason, thus by feedback make resistance remain a constant value and therefore the temperature of heater strip also remain constant.The thermal loss of popping one's head in thermal equilibrium necessarily equals electrical power supplied.At first be concerned about relation between rate of flow of fluid and the electric power from the angle of wind gage.This relation is extremely complicated, is non-linear, only by means of an experience and describe according to the rule (King) that given situation is revised respectively.Therefore when analyzing evaluation, must use a linearizer.
Fig. 1 has pointed out the basic circuit diagram of a constant temperature wind gage.A voltage definite, that provide by a servoamplifier 15 is provided on the vertical diagonal line C-D of electric bridge under equilibrium state.Convection current cooling if pop one's head on 18 changes, and then can produce a less voltage on horizontal diagonal line A-B, and described voltage feeds back on the vertical diagonal line C-D of electric bridge after several times of amplifications.The polarity of the voltage that wherein such selection is fed is so that electric bridge is realized self-equilibrating.
Except at rate of flow of fluid with as the complex relationship between the electric power of measured parameter detecting, also there is another problem, probe is to for example because the temperature variation of flow media or pressure change the variation of all heat radiations that may cause responds.Particularly when using continuously this method, when making reliable judgement with the state of the piping system that can flow therein to for example fluid according to the variation of tested flow parameter, this can throw into question.
Particularly in order in the fire recognition device of drawing-in type or oxygen measurement device, in sucker system, to monitor air-flow, importantly detect obstruction or pipe break in the sucker system reliably, so that can guarantee the errorless operation of fire recognition device or oxygen measurement device.Here the fire recognition device of drawing-in type is interpreted as such device, it initiatively aspirates the air of representational part amount through a piping system or channel system in a plurality of positions in space to be monitored, then the air of this part amount is supplied with a detecting device that is used for the detection of fires characteristic quantity or is used to detect air gas, particularly oxygen.
The fire recognition system of a drawing-in type mainly comprises ventilation blower and detecting device of a sucker system with several less SSs, one SS by sucker system extracting air sample in the object space, the fire characteristic amount in the air sample of next determining to be extracted in this detecting device.Because the fire recognition device of drawing-in type suction air sample and therefore initiatively aspirated the fire characteristic amount that may exist initiatively in the object space, so device is faster and sensitiveer than traditional solution to the reaction of the fire that taken place.Therefore best as far as possible intervention possibility is provided.
Conceptual understanding to the fire characteristic amount is a physical parameter; measurable change takes place in it in the environment of breaking out of fire, for example solid or liquid in environment temperature, the surrounding air or gas composition part (forming the flue dust of particulate or gasoloid/aerosol (Erosolen) or smog form) or environmental radiation.The fire recognition device of a drawing-in type is used all occasions that should detect extremely low almost undetectable fire characteristic amount especially, and is used in particular for the target monitoring or the space monitoring of for example electronic data processing (EDV) equipment or room server.
In the space of equipment therein to the responsive sealing of the influence reaction of water, such as EDV scope, switch room and switchgear building or have the parking space of the economic goods of higher-value, be used to the so-called inert rendering method that reduces fire hazard and stamp out a fire more and more.The fire extinguishing effect of Chan Shenging is based on oxygen and discharges principle in the method.As everyone knows, normal surrounding air by volume number percent by other gas composition of 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1%.For stamp out a fire and avoid fire by import the inert gas of discharging oxygen-such as pure nitrogen gas-raising in correlation space inert gas concentration and reduce the oxygen composition.If the oxygen composition drops to below the 15-18% percent by volume, many materials can not burn again.Depend on the combustible material that exists in the correlation space may require the oxygen composition by volume number percent for example further be reduced to 12%.
The inert gas installation that being used to like this implemented above-mentioned inert rendering method mainly has with lower member: an oxygen measurement device that is used to measure oxygen content in the object space to be monitored; The fire recognition device of a fire characteristic amount in space air that is used to detect object space; A control device that is used to analyze the data of oxygen measurement device and fire recognition device and is used for inert rendering method is carried out process control; The equipment that is used to make inert gas and inert gas is imported object space suddenly.
The oxygen measurement device is used to adjust the basic deactivation degree in the object space.If surpass a threshold value of oxygen concentration-for example because leakage-the control device in the object space sends an instruction to import inert gas in the space, to reduce the oxygen composition to a special equipment.If reach the threshold value of basic deactivation degree once more, then the oxygen measurement device sends signal.Wherein the situation of basic deactivation degree depends on spatial character.
In an advantageous applications, described drawing-in type fire recognition system and be used to avoid fire and/or the inert gas installation that stamps out a fire combined.The fire recognition device of oxygen measurement device and inert gas installation is integrated in the drawing-in type fire recognition system in this case.They are born to control device provides the monitoring objective space the required task from the data of the air sample that is extracted.
In order to guarantee the flawless as far as possible and maintenancefree operation mode as far as possible of drawing-in type device, necessary continuous monitoring is supplied with the volumetric flow rate of the air sample of detecting device.Volumetric flow rate depends on the mass rate and the density of the air sample of being supplied with, and density is again the function of air pressure and temperature.The monitoring that proves volumetric flow rate thus is a task complicated on measuring technique.In addition in order to confirm the obstruction or the damage of sucker system or SS reliably, for the higher measuring accuracy of volumetric flow rate monitoring requirement.This is particularly including in the measuring technique make-up air density that is used for volumetric flow rate monitoring or the influence of air pressure.
The present invention is based on such problem, promptly for the volumetric flow rate in the sucker system of monitoring drawing-in type fire recognition device, at present the measuring technique of using has very big unreliability, perhaps only to consider volumetric flow rate and does not consider resistance to flow about the reliable judgement of the state of sucker system in order to obtain.Therefore unreliability is unsuitable for uncompensated continuously use particularly because employed sensor depends on temperature and the air pressure or the fluid density of fluid stream.Reliably monitoring to volumetric flow rate in the sucker system also requires analysis to measure data as far as possible exactly.
This is external by having such problem in the known solution of prior art, can only analyze promptly that the long-time volumetric flow rate that continues changes in sucker system.Wherein should change with threshold value comparing usually, wherein report air-flow fault when surpassing described threshold value., selected bigger threshold value for fear of the fault alarm that produces owing to environmental impact (air pressure, temperature).Long tube has high resistance to flow, and near the pipe break the tube end only can cause less variations in flow like this.Use by prior art known devices and method and can not detect this less variations in flow.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is according to described problem, improve like this beginning described type, that particularly in flue dust and gas pumping alarm, use, be used for the device that air-flow is monitored, can detect the stream parameter continuous and non-maintainingly, described detection is enough accurate, thereby can judge the state of sucker system reliably, and provide a kind of correlation method and corresponding work method of moving described device.
In the device of the described type of beginning, realize described purpose by a control algolithm of in a microprocessor, carrying out according to the present invention, this algorithm is included in the regulating circuit of this device, and makes the overtemperature Δ T on pneumatic sensor keep constant by described control algolithm.
Advantage of the present invention particularly in, described regulating circuit comprises a control algolithm of carrying out in a microprocessor, keep the overtemperature Δ T on pneumatic sensor constant by this control algolithm.Thus pneumatic sensor is adjusted at its working point or working temperature exactly, the fluctuation of described working point or working temperature and fluid temperature (F.T.) or variation are irrelevant.The heat that thermoelectric thus pneumatic sensor distributes is in fact only corresponding with the heat that is distributed by fluid.In this form of implementation, the flow through electric current of pneumatic sensor or advantageously in fact only represent the scale (Ma β) of stream parameter to be measured (speed, mass rate etc.) by the electric power that pneumatic sensor dissipates, and can not take place because the unreliability that the variation of fluid temperature (F.T.) causes.
Method by the described device of an operation realizes purpose of the present invention in addition, makes pneumatic sensor bring up to a temperature peak in short time in the method.
By in fluid to be monitored stream, particularly in flue dust and gas pumping alarm, determining the method for temperature T, flow velocity w and change in flow Δ w-of stream parameter-particularly, solve technical matters of the present invention according to the present invention by following method step: determine fluid temperature (F.T.) T in addition by means of a thermoelectric temperature sensor at one; According to fluid temperature (F.T.) T thermoelectricity and be operated in the overtemperature Δ T that sets on the pneumatic sensor under the constant temperature mode and be adjusted to a steady state value; Definite heat that distributes by thermoelectric pneumatic sensor; With according to the heat that is distributed by means of an analytical algorithm compute flow parameters of in a microprocessor, carrying out, particularly temperature, flow velocity, resistance to flow and variation thereof.
Advantage of the present invention particularly in, can realize a kind of very effective, be used for particularly the method determining the stream parameter at flue dust and gas pumping alarm, be used for optimizing the air-flow monitoring in piping system.Overtemperature Δ T on thermoelectric pneumatic sensor and fluid temperature (F.T.) T irrespectively have a steady state value, can realize especially thus, thermoelectric pneumatic sensor is operated in its pre-determined working point or working temperature exactly, and therefore the electric power reality that is dissipated only depends on fluid stream.Because the method according to this invention measuring error obviously reduces.In thermoelectric pneumatic sensor according to the present invention, by the wandering heat Q that sends out of fluid the scale of stream parameter to be determined by heating sensor.Because the overtemperature Δ T on the described sensor has a constant value, the heat Q that is distributed equals to supply with the heating power P of sensor.Heating power P depends on the heating current I according to equation (1):
P=I 2·R (1)
Wherein R represents the internal resistance of sensor.The heat Q that distributes by sensor by the following description of equation (2):
Q=[A+B·(ρ·V) 1/n]·(ΔT-T) (2)
Wherein A, B and n are the feature constants of sensor, before sensor brings into operation according to the experiment, that is to say by means of calibrating and determine described constant that ρ represents fluid density.From equation (1) and (2), draw, can determine the volumetric flow rate V and the mass rate (ρ V) of fluid stream by heating power P and temperature T.
From equation (1) and (2), draw, can determine the volumetric flow rate V and the mass rate N=ρ V of fluid stream by heating power P and temperature T.Resistance to flow F in pipe wThe following flow velocity w that depends on:
F w=0.5·c·A·ρ·w 2 (3)
Because according to
V=A·w (4)
Volumetric flow rate V depends on the cross-sectional area A of flow velocity w and pipe, for the resistance to flow F in pipe wDraw:
F w=0.5·c·ρ·A -1·V 2 (5)
From equation (5), draw, can determine resistance to flow F in the piping system by volumetric flow rate V wWith its variation.
It is contemplated that in addition, detect the variation of the resistance to flow in the piping system based on described measured value.Require current measured value and initial measured value relatively for this reason, write down and store described initial measured value when for example bringing into operation in system.The method according to this invention is suitable for discerning the variation of the resistance to flow in the sucker system in addition.For this reason except also wanting the influence of make-up air density or fluid density ρ the volume flow measurement accurately, so that can judge resistance to flow reliably.According to the initial value of the pneumatic sensor of described storage and temperature sensor and according to current temperature with determine correction factor according to current absolute pressure by a table of setting up for this reason in some cases.This table is essential, because the different pumping power of different sucker systems and ventilator requires different correction factors.It is contemplated that, for example pick up current absolute pressure by the sensor that is designed for barometric surveying separately.Can certainly imagine other form of implementation at this.
Realize purpose of the present invention by a kind of like this fire recognition device of drawing-in type at last, described device is from space to be monitored or equipment continues to extract the space air sample or the apparatus cools air sample is also supplied with the detecting device that is used to discern the fire characteristic amount through piping system with described air sample, and this fire recognition device is equipped with foregoing, as to be used for determining a stream parameter device.
Utilization device according to the present invention provides the possibility of implementing foregoing method.
About determining that device provides advantageous modification of the present invention in dependent claims 2 to 5, in dependent claims 7, provide advantageous modification of the present invention about operation method, about determining that method provides advantageous modification of the present invention in dependent claims 9 and 10, in dependent claims 12 and 13, provide advantageous modification of the present invention about the fire recognition device and/or the oxygen measurement device of drawing-in type.
For described device imagination, described microprocessor comprises an analytical algorithm in addition like this, and described analytical algorithm is used for the electrical heating power P compute flow parameters according to pneumatic sensor, especially for mass rate N, flow velocity w and the temperature T of calculation of fluid flow.Advantage according to this form of implementation of the present invention is, can be in the described control algolithm of in microprocessor, carrying out according to the rated resistance of the thermoelectric pneumatic sensor of sensor characteristic curve calculation accurately, and can form accurate regulating circuit (for example pi regulator).Here for example can utilize A/D converter to measure the voltage on the thermoelectric temperature sensor and next described voltage is carried out filtering, to eliminate noise and other interference.Calculate the temperature T of fluid stream according to measured voltage 0Desirable constant overtemperature Δ T (for example 40 ℃) is added to fluid temperature (F.T.) T 0On.Its result is exactly the rated temperature T of thermoelectric pneumatic sensor SollIn the analytical algorithm of microprocessor, determine the rated resistance of pneumatic sensor by described rated temperature according to the accurate sensor family curve.Regulator is regulated the voltage on the heater strip of pneumatic sensor, so that the actual value of the resistance of pneumatic sensor is adjusted to ratings.Keep overtemperature Δ T constant thus according to the present invention.By means of AD converter measure on the thermoelectric pneumatic sensor voltage or by the electric current of pneumatic sensor and next described voltage and current is carried out filtering.Calculate electrical power P by described voltage and current, this electric power is represented the scale of air-flow simultaneously.
Imagine in a particularly advantageous form of implementation according to device of the present invention, analytical algorithm comprises the identification that the rheologyization of the little sudden change formula of fluid flow, particularly volumetric flow rate change.For this reason except also wanting the influence of make-up air density the measurement volumes flow exactly, so that can judge resistance to flow thus.According to the initial value of pneumatic sensor of being stored and temperature sensor and according to Current Temperatures with can also prove the variation of the saltus step formula that airflow is less in some cases thus according to current air pressure.Here basic thought is, because the variation that interfering environmental impact (air pressure, temperature) causes is slower than the variation of pipe break usually.Thus the analysis of the variation of less saltus step formula is also made it possible to discern the unexpected obstruction of a unique SS, this for example can occur under situation about deliberately destroying, or appearance when carton is placed in SS front overhead.
Imagine in a particularly advantageous form of implementation, the variable density that depends on temperature and/or pressure that described analytical algorithm comprises fluid flow compensates.The advantage of this form of implementation particularly in owing to considered the variable density that depends on temperature or pressure of fluid stream, have nothing to do by of the fluctuation of the wandering electricity power of fluid with the variable density of fluid stream.Significantly improve the accuracy of stream parameter, the particularly resistance to flow determined by means of the present invention thus.
According to one of definite device of the present invention possible implementation imagination, described microprocessor comprises a storer that is used for the initial value of storage flow parameter.The advantage of this form of implementation is, not only can flow parameter with high precision computation in described analytical algorithm, and we can say the long-term state variation of free flow parameter.Because the calculating of stream parameter gradients is based on accurate air flow value, for example can advantageously measure the variation in the piping system of flue dust and gas pumping alarm in this form of implementation.For example may be owing to slowly or unexpected obstruction, crackle or break and such variation occurs.Owing to keep constant by the overtemperature Δ T of the present invention on pneumatic sensor, the gradient of gas stream parameter can occurrence temperature or the deviation that causes of alternate manner.Equally advantageously cancelled pneumatic sensor repeated balance/compensation.
Scheme in a possible realization advantageously is designed to pneumatic sensor, makes this sensor can bring up to a temperature peak in short time.This has such advantage especially, so pneumatic sensor is characterised in that the life-span that it is long especially.
Operation for so definite device preferably is designed to pneumatic sensor, this pneumatic sensor can be brought up in short time reach 500 ℃ temperature peak on one.Under the situation that temperature significantly improves, can remove the dirt that accumulates of pneumatic sensor thus especially effectively by the operation of short time.Use whole heating powers this moment, to burn or to remove the dirt particle that sticks on the pneumatic sensor.During this period of time advantageously close the ventilator of drawing-in type fire recognition device, to avoid any cooling to sensor.Utilize this cleaning to guarantee, even also can not accumulate on pneumatic sensor or the deposit dirt particle in using continuously, thereby the sensitivity of sensor is constant all the time.
A possible implementation of the present invention is, be used for determining that according to according to the present invention the device of stream parameter is integrated in a drawing-in type fire recognition device and/or the oxygen measurement device, described drawing-in type device from space to be monitored or equipment continues to extract the cooling air sample of space air sample or equipment and through piping system detecting device that is used to discern the fire characteristic amount of described sample supply.The advantage of this form of implementation particularly in, can monitor the air-flow in the piping system exactly and for example also can indicate reliably in piping system because slowly or unexpected obstruction, crackle or break and the variation that may occur.Thus can be especially the fire recognition device and/or the oxygen measurement device of reliable and Maintenance free ground use drawing-in type.
In another favourable form of implementation, imagine, particularly be integrated in the air inlet passage of detecting device of fire characteristic amount of the fire recognition device of a drawing-in type and/or oxygen measurement device at the middle part according to the pneumatic sensor of device of the present invention or temperature sensor.The advantage of this form of implementation is, whole electric devices of drawing-in type fire recognition device can be incorporated in the unit thus.Can know especially thus and construct described fire recognition device and/or oxygen measurement device simply.
Preferably imagine at last, pneumatic sensor is arranged in the position that narrows down according to the xsect in drawing-in type fire recognition device of the present invention and/or the oxygen measurement Device Testing device air inlet passage.Be in the position that flow velocity raises because xsect narrows down by this layout pneumatic sensor.Improved the dynamic property of pneumatic sensor thus equally.Therefore can detect the also minimum variation of analysis stream parameter.Therefore advantageously improve according to sensitivity of the present invention, that be used for the device of definite stream parameter.Can realize simultaneously optimization to the monitoring of drawing-in type fire recognition device and/or oxygen measurement device.Certainly also it is contemplated that other form of implementation at this.

The voltage U of when detecting flow velocity, measuring on the thermoelectric pneumatic sensor 1 by means of an AD converter 5 1And electric current I 1, and next it is carried out filtering with a wave filter 6.In another analytic unit 7, calculate the electrical power P of pneumatic sensor 1 and the actual value of resistance by described electric current and voltmeter.Keeping the constant essential electric power of overtemperature Δ T is a scale of air-flow.
By shown in figure 2, be used for determining the embodiment according to device of the present invention of flow parameter also can measuring the stream parameter almost error freely, thereby also can compute flow parameters-particularly resistance to flow-state variation.For this reason a middle initial value of preserving flow parameter of storer (clearly not illustrating) that is integrated in the microprocessor 4.Utilize the gradient of analytical algorithm convection current parameter to calculate continuously then.Therefore utilize this form of implementation can test example as because the variation in slow or unexpected obstruction, the crackle of runner or the fluid stream that produces that breaks.
Changing owing to temperature and/or air pressure when causing that atmospheric density changes, even piping system does not change, the volumetric flow rate of the fluid that is detected equally also can change.In microprocessor 4, carry out essential thus compensation to air density change.Determine compensation factor according to initial value (temperature, air-flow) and Current Temperatures.Adopt an absolute air pressure probe to measure air pressure (clearly not illustrating) alternatively.
