In one embodiment, the security system of building can comprise filling (for example, supply, discharge, add, scatter, be full of etc.) stand (for example, along the place of the place of route, the device with special installation, loading and/or unloading etc.).(for example fill the station, fill website 102A-N) can comprise and (for example add breathable air to safety, avoid danger and/or injury, reliable, be difficult for breaking down etc.) air accumulator of independent breathing equipment (SCBA) unit in chamber (for example, compartment, enclosure space, chamber etc.).The safety cage (for example; feeding unit shell 500) (for example can be used as the breathable air device of overvoltage; SCBA air accumulators etc.) possible breaking (for example; blast, cracked, decomposition etc.) restriction is (for example; close within the specific limits, prevent to leave away, restriction etc.) security protection (for example, prevent to damage and/or avoid dangerous protection barrier, prevent the structure of escaping etc.) in safety cage's scope.
By using in fact structure at all face closure air accumulators, fill infringement and injures and deaths that therefore the station can prevent that the air accumulator blast from causing, when shell is closed or is locked, this structural limitations padding, and/or this structure to prevent to surpass the air accumulator fragment of threshold size in fact outstanding from shell.Fill the station and can also comprise the structure that to restrain oneself shell fragment, this structure (is for example used locking mechanism, locking mechanism 502) air accumulator is enclosed in this structure, and/or this structure comprises a jar rotating mechanism, the jar rotating mechanism allows jar when inside is filled, connects simultaneously with disconnection and is connected air accumulator.The wall of safety cage (for example, the feeding unit shell 500) can be to bear the required continuous material of the power related with the explosion type exhaust phase of Compressed Gas, welding, bolted and/or otherwise connection.The safety cage (for example, the feeding unit shell 500) of filling the station can also require to satisfy Valuation Standard.
Open circuit rescue or fireman SCBA can comprise multiple assembly, comprise full face tool, adjuster, air accumulator, air accumulator barometer and have the braces of adjustable shoulder belt and waistband, allows it can be worn in user's back.The air accumulator of SCBA can be made by aluminium, steel and/or composite construction (for example, carbon fiber packing).Composite tanks may be that weight is the lightest, and it is favorite that this can make them become fire department.Yet, they also may be in various types of air accumulators service life the shortest, and they may after 15 years, will stop the service.Air accumulator can have three kinds of standard sizes: 30,45 or 60 minutes breathing time.Jar can be filled into the standardized nominal pressure (for example, 3000psi, 4500psi etc.) of every square feet of several kips.Although many air accumulators can repeat in proper maintenance with under checking and the use of safety, some air accumulators are explosion once in the past, and then causes and damage and/or injures and deaths.
Required test can comprise visual inspection, and wherein Guan inside is examined with discovery burn into particle and/or any other unusual.Can check the integrality and/or the flaw of screw thread.For aluminium pot, can use special electronic equipment to check that the neck thread of jar is to find slight crack (for example, stress slight crack).Need experienced technical staff's year or more frequent inspection, to find dangerous slight crack before becoming easy break-down at jar.Deconditioned technical staff may not identify with air accumulator and detect the feature (for example, recess, overlapping, joint etc.) that is associated.Deconditioned technical staff may not know also how many screw threads can be passed by safety before jar must be dropped.
Air accumulator also can be required to experience the test of conventional hydrostatic pressing (for example, for composite tanks per 3 years, for metal can per 5 years).The hydrostatic pressing test is a kind of general mode, can find leak and/or crack by this mode in pressure vessel (for example air accumulator).At the hydrostatic pressing test period, air accumulator can be filled compressible hardly liquid (for example, water, wet goods), and is examined the permanent change or the transudate of shape.Redness or fluorochrome can be added in the water usually so that transudate is easily seen.Test pressure can be apparently higher than operating pressure to provide margin of safety, and normally 150% of design pressure.For example, the jar of specified DOT-2015PSI can approximately tested to guarantee at utmost to use and provide greater security under the 3360PSI.Usually can make water, because water is difficult to compress most, and under the situation that air accumulator breaks, it only can expand very in a small amount.If the use gases at high pressure, gas can be than its decrement expansion hundred times in blast so, and this can cause substantive the damage and/or injury, comprises and disintegrating and/or injures and deaths.
To the process of its rated pressure (for example, 3000 to 4500psi), air accumulator may become overvoltage (for example, be filled at it keep pressure on the ability of structural intergrity) at using charged air pressure.Because manufacturing defect, for example may cause stress to concentrate and/or core, cut, indenture and/or other flaws of initial rupture point, air accumulator may have the ability of keeping rated pressure of reduction.Manufacturing defect also may comprise material flaw (for example, the metal of mistake tempering, make the composite construction of the more crisp and/or worse impurity of metal, mistake bonding and/or formation etc.).Air accumulator can also comprise the infringement that causes owing to wrong maintenance, accidental bump, damage by water stress, oxidation and radiation effect bad, temperature sense.For example, the structure (for example air accumulator) that experiences obvious temperature change can produce thermal stress, because the different piece of structure expands and shrinks.Radiological detriment can comprise that the change of compound keys condensation material is bad.Oxidation can comprise getting rusty of steel construction.Composite construction may experience other forms of chemical modification, and this causes structure variation in time.In addition, metal structure may have limited fatigue failure life cycle.Therefore air accumulator also can be by common wear and aging process variation in time.
In case generation, rent be expansion rapidly under the stress that changes, what for example take place during padding is such.If break, blast may comprise quick, the multi-direction expansion of gas.A plurality of parts of air accumulator may form shell fragment in blast.Under the sufficiently high situation of energy, sheet metal may be pierced through by shell fragment, and door and hinge may be opened, and the lock of unauthenticated may damage, and/or near the people of the air accumulator that breaks can be by grievous injury.
Fill station (for example, filling website 102A-N) and therefore can comprise safety cage's (for example, feeding unit shell 500), it is used as possible the breaking of the breathable air device of overvoltage (for example, SCBA air accumulator etc.) is limited in the security protection in the safety cage.Fill website 102 and can be prescribed the air accumulator that bears the explosivity decompression of having broken, the gas stream so that restriction is emerged prevents to injure any neighbouring people and/or equipment, and seals any shell fragment that is quickened by blast.Safety cage's (for example, feeding unit shell 500) can be the opening of filling in the website 102, and it allows only could fill when structure has been closed and has been locked.In one or more embodiments, fill website 102 and can comprise loop structure,, be mounted and be removed to allow air accumulator when being locked of filling website 102 filled in safety cage's (for example, feeding unit shell 500).Loop structure can comprise the position of two air accumulators of once mounting, to fill in the safety cage.Locking mechanism 502 can support to provide fully, thereby will not allow shell fragment emerge in the explosion time repetition stage at all face fixed cycles platforms.In one or more embodiments, when lock engagement time, locking mechanism 502 can visually indicate loop structure to be fixed around its border and support.
In addition, have only when latch mechanism engages, cycling mechanism just can allow to fill website 102 and keep the constant pressure of filling the air accumulator in the safety cage.In other words, the gas cylinder that release filling website 102 can allow to fill separates with system, and does not have air pressure with the danger that continues to maintain in the circuit that is connected to pressurized bottle.
Therefore, in case the air pressure of system (for example has been lifted to the level that is fit to, 3000psi, 4500psi etc.), the operator who fills website 102 then can add air to jar by carrying out following steps: air accumulator is installed to fills the station, the rotation cycling mechanism is being encapsulated in air accumulator in the structure, and shift lever is filled the station to allow air to flow in the air accumulator with locking.The operator who fills website subsequently can shift lever with the release station, the rotation cycling mechanism shifts out air accumulator from shell, and unloads populated air accumulator.Locking filling website 102 can provide the structural support to cycling mechanism, escapes in blast to prevent air and shell fragment, and the cycling mechanism pent visual indicator in border of opening on every side can be provided.The wall of safety cage can be to bear the required continuous material of the power related with the explosion type exhaust phase of Compressed Gas, welding, bolted and/or otherwise connection.The safety cage (for example, the feeding unit shell 500) of filling website 102 can also require to satisfy Valuation Standard.
In one embodiment, the security system of building can comprise the filling station system.Fill station system and can comprise such device, this device allows one or more firemans to refill the air accumulator of independent breathing equipment (SCBA) unit simultaneously, continue its breathing equipment of operation by using special-purpose air to connect (for example, RIC/UA engages) simultaneously.Fill the station and can be for vessel filling (for example, supply, set up certain level, occupy fully, scatter, finish) breathable air is (for example, satisfy the compressed air of security against fire quality and/or filter criteria) website (for example, the position of building, the position in the house etc.) to do urgent use.Special-purpose air connects and can comprise quick connect system, and it allows user can connect and/or separate connection not using under the situation about being threaded.
On the contrary, the additive method and/or the structure that refill the air accumulator of SCBA unit may need the carrier by a series of steps consuming time air accumulator to be disconnected, air accumulator is connected to mechanism compressed air is sent to air accumulator and air accumulator is reinstalled to the SCBA unit from the SCBA device, during this period, the carrier of SCBA unit may not use breathable air.These steps may comprise that using a plurality of spinning movements that joint is screwed in together and with joint turns on.By allowing the carrier in the air accumulator that refills the SCBA unit, to continue to breathe, the carrier can avoid sucking excessive poisonous, overheated and/or other gases that should not suck, and these gases may cause acute injury, long-term health infringement, stupor, deformity, cancer and/or death.
The SCBA unit can be the equipment by rescuer, fireman, millworker and other people dress, so that breathable air to be provided in adverse circumstances.The industrial occasion of SCBA of can using can comprise mining, petrochemical industry, chemical industry and nuclear industry.The SCBA unit that designs for fire resistance applications can comprise solar heat protection and fireproof assembly, and this will increase manufacturing cost.Can also use lighter material so that the fireman is more laborsaving when using this device.
