Abstract

The low—pressure passive apparatus for decreasing the undesirably increased temperature or suppressing the flame burning in protected electrical devices, which is arranged in the protected electrical device and consists of a carrier (1) inside which a compressed cooling medium (3) is present, wherein the carrier (1) is further provided with a filling valve (5) for filling the cooling medium (3) into the carrier (1), a pressure gauge (2) for passive orientation control of the cooling medium in the carrier (1) and a pressure sensor (4) for disconnecting the protected device from the electric power and connecting with signaling equipment wherein the carrier (1) is made of plastic, metal or metal composition in any hollow closed shape and size, wherein the carrier (1) is provided with at least one temperature detector, e.g. a thermal glass ampoule (6) which breaks in the protected device at the increased temperature, which damages the carrier (1) and the medium (3) spills into the area of the protected electrical device and cools the undesirably increased temperature or suppresses flame burning in this protected electrical device. The thermal glass ampoule (6) is attached in the carrier by several mechanical methods, e.g. it is screwed, glued, soldered, etc. The activation of the apparatus, when the glass ampoule (6) breaks due to the undesirably increased temperature, creates an aperture in the carrier (1) through which the medium spills into the protected electrical device, starts at 50 °C.

Description

Low-pressure passive apparatus for cooling an undesirably increased temperature or suppressing flame burning in a protected electrical device
Field of the Invention
The invention relates to cooling of an undesirably in- creased temperature or suppression of flame burning in protected electrical devices, e.g. in air conditioning and air-handling units, gas connections, electrical substa- tions and switchboards, in computer boxes, in servers, telephone exchanges and similar. In these protected elec- trical devices, undesirable thermal phenomena can occur, the negative effects of which can lead to a gradual loss of functionality or destruction of these devices and in extreme cases can even lead to flame burning. This can be caused by various processes such as undesirable chemical reactions, electrical short circuits, overheating of the system, electric arcing, flaring of operating fluids, etc.
Background of the Invention & To decrease the undesirable temperature increase or to
N suppress flame burning in protected electrical devices, = low-pressure apparatuses are suitable. There are low-pres-
N sure automatic apparatuses for cooling the undesirably in-
E: creasing temperature or suppressing flame burning in pro- © tected devices which comprise a cooling medium carrier, the activation of which is based on bursting the cooling
S medium carrier due to the undesirably increasing tempera- ture or flame burning arisen in a protected device. For these devices, the temperature at which the cooling medium carrier gets broken cannot be simply controlled to prevent the spill of the medium into the protected device.
Summary of the Invention
The above stated disadvantage is eliminated and the field of protective equipment is supplemented by a low-pressure apparatus for decreasing the undesirably increased temper- ature or suppressing the flame burning in protected elec- trical devices, which is arranged in this protected elec- trical device and consists of a carrier inside which a compressed cooling medium is present; the carrier is fur- ther provided with a filling valve for filling the cooling medium into the carrier; furthermore, the carrier is pro- vided with a pressure gauge for passive orientation control of the cooling medium and a pressure sensor for discon- necting the protected electrical device from the electric power and for connecting with a signaling eguipment in the case undesirably increased temperature is detected inside the protected device, wherein the summary of the invention is that the carrier is made of plastic or metal or metal composition in any hollow closed shape and size, wherein the carrier is further provided with at least one temper- & ature detector, e.g. a thermal glass ampoule. The thermal
N glass ampoule is attached in the carrier by several meth-
S ods, e.g. it is screwed, glued, soldered, etc. to the
S carrier shell opening. As soon as the temperature in the
E area of a protected electrical device where a low-pressure © apparatus 1s arranged increases to a certain undesired value, the glass ampoule breaks, creates an aperture in
S the carrier through which the cooling medium spills into the area of the protected electrical device and cools down the undesirably increased temperature or suppresses flame burning.
The cooling medium carrier is provided with a sealing joint for some equipment types. The activation temperature of the apparatus, when the glass ampoule breaks due to the undesirably increased temperature, creates an aperture in the carrier through which the cooling medium spills into the protected electrical device, is 50°C. Glass ampoules are made of glass with various compositions which break at different temperatures in the range from 50°C to 260°C.
The temperature at which the thermal glass ampoule breaks can be set by using ampoules having various glass compo- sitions and thus the low-pressure apparatus activation can be controlled according to the conditions and assumptions of the occurrence of the undesirably increased tempera- ture.
Brief Description of the Drawings
The invention is described in more detail in the accompa- nying figures, where = Fig. 1 shows a side view of a low-pressure apparatus for
N decreasing the increased temperature or suppressing flame
S burning in the protected electrical devices comprising one
S glass ampoule, and

The carrier 1 is further provided with a thermal glass ampoule 6 which is provided with a thread on one side and is screwed into the shell of the carrier 1 where an opening having a thread is made so that the opening is sealed. If in a protected electrical device, here in this example embodiment with a smaller electrical power substation, the temperature rises to the undesirable value of 50°C, the glass ampoule 6 breaks and thus damages the carrier 1 in which an aperture is formed and the cooling medium 3 spills = into the area of the protected electrical device, i.e.
N into the area of the smaller electrical power substation
S and cools down the undesirably increased temperature in
S this protected device. This way the low-pressure passive
E apparatus gets activated, and the activation temperature © in this example embodiment is 50°C. The thermal glass am- poule 6 is made of glass which breaks at the temperature
O of 50°C. Furthermore, the apparatus for decreasing the increased temperature or / eventual suppressing flame burning in a protected electrical device is provided with a pressure sensor 4 for disconnecting the protected elec- trical device from the electric power source and for con- necting with the signaling device if the given undesirable temperature is reached in the protected electrical device.

The carrier 1 is further provided with five thermal glass ampoules 6 evenly distributed around the perimeter, which are on one side provided with a thread and are screwed into the shell of the carrier 1 where openings having a thread are made so that the openings are sealed. & At a certain undesirably increased temperature in a pro-
N tected device, a larger electric energy substation in this
S example embodiment, glass ampoules 6 break which damages
N the carrier 1, an aperture in the carrier 1 is created in
E: the area of every broken ampoule 6 and the cooling medium © 3 spills into the area of the protected device and cools 5 down the undesirably increased temperature in the pro-
S tected device.
The thermal glass ampoules 6 are made of glass which breaks at the temperature of 50°C, which is the activation tem- perature of the low-pressure apparatus. Furthermore, the apparatus for decreasing the increased temperature or sup- pressing flame burning in a protected electrical device is provided with a pressure sensor 4 for disconnecting the protected electrical device from the electric power source and for connecting with the signaling device if the given undesirable temperature is reached in the protected elec- trical device.
