Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for rendering harmless a in a pipeline led detonation front with the help of a Flame arrester.
  • the invention further relates to a detonation fuse with a suitable for installation in a pipeline or container system Housing, in the at least one pipe socket with a specific Pipe diameter protrudes and in the one the flame passage preventing flame arrester is arranged, whose Diameter is significantly larger than the pipe diameter.
  • the propagation of an explosion of an ignitable gas mixture in a container or piping system can be used as a detonation or deflagration done.
  • the detonation is superimposed the flame front and the one formed by the blast of the blast Shock front, while during deflagration the shock waves leading the flame front.
  • the flame propagation speed of deflagrations are some 100 m / s and the Combustion pressures in the direction of impact at up to 10 bar (at a Outlet pressure of the mixtures of 1 bar), while in detonations Flame propagation speeds of several 1,000 m / s and pressures in the direction of impact of up to 100 bar may occur.
  • a detonation fuse consisting of a detonation brake and a flame arrester is known from DE-PS 1 192 980.
  • the propagating through a pipeline detonation front is in the known device by the convex outside divided a circular cylindrical wall and passes in an expansion space with an opposite the pipeline enlarged Volume.
  • the split detonation front can only after several deflections run against the flame arrester, which in attached to an outlet nozzle, which is 90 ° opposite the Piping is angled, in which the detonation originally has spread.
  • the several deflections will be generated by having a second semicircular wall with a smaller diameter is provided, with each other facing free wall pieces are arranged overlapping each other and thereby form a kind of labyrinth.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the problem, a To ensure protection against detonations with simple and inexpensive to be created means is realizable, no high pressure loss for the gases flowing through and yet a high Guaranteed ignition safety.
  • a Detonation assurance of the type mentioned in the present invention characterized in that at least one pipe socket to form a free Interspace extends close to the flame arrester, so one through the Pipe socket progressing detonation front substantially completely and without deflection by a bumper on only a portion of the Flame barrier hits and that around the pipe socket around a sufficiently large Expansion space for the formation of a deflagration is present.
  • the core of present invention is the detonation front only in one Part of the flame arrester to make this impact by the Detonation front with a pipe socket very close to the flame arrester is introduced. This creates on the incoming side of the flame arrester an expansion space, so that the detonation front in front of the flame barrier in Expansion space caused by secondary ignition a deflagration. There the flame barrier is hit only in the partial area of the detonation front, it provides a high flow resistance for the detonation front.
  • the free Cross-sectional area of the entire flame arrester is preferably the same or greater than the pipe diameter of the pipe socket.
  • the pipe section becomes brought so close to the flame barrier, that of the detonation front met partial area substantially equal to the pipe diameter.
  • the Flame barrier preferably has an overall diameter, the at least twice the diameter of the portion corresponds to in normal operation to achieve low pressure drops.
  • the operation of the arrangement according to the invention is in relation to the Flame extinguishing behavior the more favorable the closer the end of the pipe socket the flame arrester is introduced.
  • a lower limit for the reduction the free space between the end of the pipe socket and the Flame barrier results from the fact that in normal operation of the Total cross section of the flame arrester at the usual, relatively low Flow rates is still sufficiently uniformly flowed.
  • the detonation fuse according to the invention the free distance between the end of the pipe socket and the flame arrester greater than or equal to one third and less than / equal to that Pipe diameter.
  • the length of the interior is on the Side of the pipe socket to the flame arrester preferably more than 0.6 times the pipe diameter and may preferably less than or equal to 2 times the pipe diameter and can, in particular when using a pre-ignition explained below be reduced to half the pipe diameter.
  • the effect according to the invention of the impact of the detonation front on the portion of the flame barrier, through which the flame arrester the detonation front provides a high flow resistance, can be further enhanced by the fact that the flame arrester is formed differently in the subarea than in the Subarea surrounding border area.
  • the detonation fuse according to the invention can be in the pipe socket with against the pipe diameter small connection openings for Be provided the expansion tube surrounding the pipe socket to by a pre-ignition through the detonation front in the expansion space to cause a pre-combustion, so that by pre-burned Gases of tendency to re-form a detonation front in the expansion space, in particular by a reflection the flame wall of the expansion wall, is effectively countered, so that the length of the expansion space can be reduced.
  • the detonation fuse For dividing the detonation front into several partial detonation fronts can the detonation fuse according to the invention a Having plurality of pipe socket before the flame arrester, wherein the majority of pipe connections preferably rotationally symmetrical are arranged to the central axis of the flame arrester.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a detonation fuse which, like FIG this is shown in dashed lines, with a in a pipeline 1 insertable housing 2 is formed.
  • the housing 2 is on flanged to both ends of the pipe and forms a Interior 3 of the housing 2.
  • In the interior 3 protrudes from a Side of a pipe 1 continuing pipe 1 in it, in front of a centrally arranged in the housing 2 flame arrester 5 ends.
  • FIG. 1 shows a detonation front starting through the pipe socket 4 8, on one as a portion 9 of the flame arrester 5 hits.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates that the pipe socket 4, which continues the pipe 1, has a diameter D and that the detonation front 8 practically impinges with the diameter D on the portion 9 of the flame arrester 5, which thus also has approximately the diameter D.
  • the shock wave of the detonation front 8 strikes the small diameter D to a relatively high flow resistance of the flame arrester 5, so that the detonation front 8 is partially reflected by the flame arrester 5 or extinguished when penetrating into the portion of the flame arrester 5.
  • an expansion space 13 of the housing 6 a secondary ignition.
  • the expansion space 13 extends over a length L 1 of the mouth of the pipe socket 4 back from the flame arrester 5 away.
  • the free cross section of the flame arrester 5 corresponds at least the cross-sectional area of the pipe socket 4 with the pipe diameter D or is larger, so that for a according to Figure 3 not as Detonation front 8, but as normal flow 11 traversing Gas no significant pressure loss through the flame arrester 5 arises.
  • Figure 3 shows that the free distance L 2 between the mouth end of the pipe socket 4 and the pipe socket 4 facing surface of the flame arrester 5 is selected so that in normal operation, the flame arrester 5 is flowed through by the flow medium uniformly. This is the case when the length of the gap L 2 is greater than / equal to one-third and less than / equal to the inner diameter D.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 4 corresponds to the Embodiment according to Figure 1 with the only difference that provided on both sides of the flame arrester 5 a pipe socket 4 is, so that the detonation fuse shown in Figure 4 for detonation fronts 8 coming from both sides suitable is.
  • FIG. 5 further embodiment of the invention differs from the embodiment shown in Figure 1 in that the flame arrester 5 'in the partial area 9 'is made with narrower gap widths, so that the flame arrester 5 'of the detonation front 8 through the narrowed portion 9 'still opposes a higher flow resistance.
  • the pipe socket 4 is provided with small connection openings 12, branched off by the incoming detonation front 8 immediately after the beginning of the housing 2 a part and directly into the Expansion chamber 13 is passed, where precombustion takes place by the ignition of the branched part of the detonation front 8, so that burnt gases in the expansion space 13 prevents the formation of a secondary detonation by reflection of a deflagration on the rear wall 10 of the housing 2 and thereby reduces the length L 1 can be.
  • the fifth embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 provides for the flame arrester 5 to be designed to be extremely large in relation to the diameter D of the pipeline 1, in order to obtain a very low pressure loss through the flame arrester 5 during normal operation.
  • a plurality of pipe stubs 4 ' are arranged distributed over the cross section of the flame arrester 5.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates that this causes a detonation front, which starts in the pipeline 1, to be distributed over a plurality of partial detonation fronts 8 ', which impinge on associated partial regions 9 "of the flame arrester 5.
  • the length L 1 of the expansion space 13 'delimiting rear end wall 10' is formed by wall pieces which define a distribution chamber 14 in the flow direction in front of the flame arrester 5, which widens starting from the diameter D of the pipe 1 to the effective diameter of the flame arrester 5 and in the pipe socket 4 'passes.
  • the arrangement of the pipe socket 4 'shown in Figure 7 has a central pipe socket 4', which is aligned with the pipe 1, but has a slightly smaller diameter than the pipe 1.
  • Figure 8 illustrates the normal operation in which pass through the pipe stub 4 'normal part flows 11' and distribute evenly over the cross-sectional area of the flame arrester 5.
  • the length L 1 ⁇ 0.5 D and ⁇ 2 D and the length L 2 is between ⁇ 1/3 D and ⁇ 1 D.
  • the optimization of the lengths L 1 and L 2 depends on the pressure loss through the flame arrester 5 off.
