Description

  The present invention relates to a foam fire extinguishing facility provided in a storage tank or the like for storing dangerous materials such as petroleum.

  Since the structural example of the conventional foam fire extinguishing equipment was shown in FIG. 4, it demonstrates based on the figure.

  When a fire breaks out, the fire extinguishing equipment control panel 9 is operated to select a protection zone to be extinguished, and the pressurized water supply device 1 is activated via the fire pump control panel 6, thereby pumping up the water from the water tank 2 and pumping it out. The water and the foam fire extinguishing agent pumped from the foam stock solution tank 3 by the pressure are mixed at a predetermined ratio in the mixer 4 to generate a fire-extinguishing foam aqueous solution. And either the division selection valve 11, 12, 21, 22, 41, 42 or the fire hydrant valve 31, 32 which is the 2nd valve of the foam fire extinguisher which performs fire extinguishing, and the secondary pressure control which is the 1st valve Of the valves 10, 20, 30, 40, the one connected to the section selection valve or the fire hydrant valve is opened, the foam fire extinguishing water solution is supplied to the foam fire extinguishing apparatus in the selected protective section, and the foam fire extinguishing apparatus extinguishes the fire. Mix the outside air with the foam foam solution to produce fire-extinguishing foam and extinguish the fire.

  For example, when performing fire extinguishing of the oil tank T1, the secondary pressure control valve 10 and the partition selection valve 11 are opened, and the fire-extinguishing foam aqueous solution is pumped to the air foam chamber C disposed on the upper side surface of the oil tank T1. Then, the closing mechanism inside the air foam chamber is opened by the pressure, and foaming is performed here to cover the liquid surface of the oil tank T1 with a fire-extinguishing foam to perform suffocation fire extinguishing.

  A first problem of the present invention is to appropriately control the water supply flow rate for fire extinguishing of a pressurized water supply apparatus in accordance with the foam fire extinguishing apparatus of a protective section to be extinguished.

  That is, the conventional pressure water supply device of the foam fire extinguisher is only activated by the fire pump control panel and stopped by the panel operation of the fire extinguishing pump control panel. Only water was going. This is because a foam fire extinguisher that requires a large flow rate of fire extinguishing water (for example, a foam monitor nozzle of about 2000 liters per minute) is activated, but only a small flow rate of fire extinguishing water is required. Even when activated (for example, there are 100 liters per minute for foam hydrants and 50 liters per minute for fixed foam heads), the operation of the pressurized watering device is constant. In addition, depending on the protection zone to be extinguished, since a plurality of these fire extinguishing devices are arranged, the required flow rate difference further widens and becomes a large difference. For this reason, when a small amount of water for fire extinguishing is required, excessive pressure is applied to the piping, etc., or when the pressure rises suddenly, the piping is impacted, causing a phenomenon called water hammer There was a possibility.

  In addition, although the pressurized water supply apparatus described in patent document 1 and 2 has shown that a flow rate can be controlled by inverter control, it describes about the foam fire-extinguishing agent mixing system which controls the mixing ratio of water for fire-extinguishing and a foam fire-extinguishing agent exclusively. I'm just doing it.

  The second problem of the present invention is to obtain a foam fire-extinguishing equipment that can stably generate a fire-fighting foam aqueous solution having a predetermined mixing ratio with respect to a flow rate that varies greatly depending on the foam fire-extinguishing apparatus that operates. . That is, the conventional foam fire extinguishing equipment is provided with a secondary pressure control valve on the secondary side of the foam aqueous solution generation device so as to obtain the necessary pressure for each type of foam fire extinguishing device, but for fire extinguishing that passes there. Since the flow rate of the foam aqueous solution varies greatly depending on the type and quantity of the foam fire extinguishing apparatus to be operated, the total flow rate of fire extinguishing water in the entire foam fire extinguishing apparatus is not constant. For example, the types of foam fire extinguishing devices range from about 50 liters per minute for a fixed foam head to about 2000 liters per minute for a foam monitor nozzle, as described above, with a difference of two orders of magnitude.

  Therefore, since the flow rate of fire-extinguishing water passing through a conventional mixer (using the Venturi effect, etc.) also varies depending on the foam-extinguishing device that operates, a predetermined ratio of foam-extinguishing agent to a predetermined fire-extinguishing water is a predetermined ratio. It is difficult to keep the mixing ratio constant in a mixer that mixes in For example, in a mixer using a general Venturi effect, the flow rate range used is 100 to 450 liters per minute, 200 to 900 liters per minute, 300 to 1350 liters per minute, 400 to 1800 liters per minute, 700 per minute A large number of models are prepared according to the flow range of use, up to 3150 liters and 1900-8550 liters per minute, but these were used properly.

  In addition, mixers with a particularly wide working flow rate range are available with models of 80-2000 liters per minute and 200-5000 liters per minute, but they are very expensive and depending on the fire extinguishing equipment, It is not always possible to respond within the range.

  If the flow rate range is too large to achieve the specified mixing ratio, it may be necessary to provide multiple mixers with different flow ranges depending on the foam extinguishing device for each protection zone. Construction was difficult.

  The third problem of the present invention is to stably obtain a foam aqueous solution having a predetermined mixing ratio even in the case where a high extinction rate foam extinguishing agent is used in a situation where the flow rate range is large as described above. It is in. That is, the conventional foam extinguishing agent was used at a dilution rate of about 3%, but in recent years, a foam extinguishing agent used at a dilution rate of about 1% has appeared, so that the foam stock solution tank can be expected to be downsized. became. However, it is difficult to mix at a high dilution rate with high accuracy in the conventional apparatus, and it is further difficult in the situation where there is a large working flow rate range as described above.

  The foam fire extinguishing equipment according to the present invention is a foam aqueous solution generator for generating a foam aqueous solution for fire extinguishing by mixing the foam extinguishing chemical stored in the foam stock solution tank at a predetermined ratio with the fire extinguishing water, and pressure-feeding the fire extinguishing water. Pressurized water supply device, a plurality of foam fire extinguishing devices arranged for each protection section which is a fire fighting activity unit, a fire extinguishing pump control panel for controlling the pressurized water supply device, and a foam fire extinguishing equipment control panel for controlling the entire facility In the foam fire extinguishing equipment, the foam fire extinguishing equipment control panel includes information on opening and closing means for opening and closing the foam aqueous solution feeding pipe interposed between the foam aqueous solution generating device for each protection compartment, and the protection compartment Fire extinguishing pump operation data corresponding to the flow rate to be sent out by the pressurized water supply device every time, a storage unit registered in advance, a fire signal received by a signal input unit from a fire receiving panel connected to the fire detection device or Based on operator operations A section selection means for selecting a protection section to be extinguished automatically or manually, and on the basis of the selection, read out the fire pump operation data of the corresponding protection section and the information of the switching means from the storage unit, and read out the fire extinguishing Based on the pump operation data, the pressurized water feeding device is controlled to operate at a predetermined load via the fire pump control panel so as to send out water for fire extinguishing at a predetermined flow rate. And a controller for controlling the opening / closing of the foam aqueous solution feeding pipe interposed between the protective compartment and the opening / closing means that opens the outlet of the foam aqueous solution generator by the opening control. The first valve, which is a normally closed release valve, and a foam aqueous solution feed pipe connecting the secondary side of the first valve and the protective compartment, are arranged in the vicinity of each protective compartment. Normally closed parcel selection A second valve that is opened by the opening control, and the fire-extinguishing foam aqueous solution corresponding to the protective zone to be extinguished when a fire occurs is controlled by opening the first valve and the second valve. It is characterized by being pumped through a valve to a fire extinguisher in a protective zone where the fire is extinguished.

  Moreover, the foam fire extinguishing equipment according to the present invention is the foam aqueous solution generator, the foam fire-extinguishing chemical liquid feed pump that pumps the foam fire-extinguishing chemical, and the foam fire-extinguishing chemical liquid feed pump control that controls the foam fire-extinguishing chemical liquid pump.
