Definitions
- This invention relates to apparatus for detecting rise in pressure due to an incipient fire or explosion.
- British specification No. 643,188 describes fire or explosion detecting and suppressing apparatus comprising pressure rate of rise responsive diaphragm means for detecting rise in pressure due to an incipient fire or explosion, said diaphragm means being connected in an electric circuit including a contact adapted to be closed by said means to release a fire or explosion suppressing substance, the diaphragm means being selected to be of a high order of sensitivity such as to respond to a small pressure rise when the rate of pressure rise is in excess of 50 lbs. per sq. inch per second, and being capable of closing the contact within 0.02 second of the initiation of the pressure rise, whereby incipient fire or explosion can be detected before it is established.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome the above disadvantage and to provide a detecting apparatus which may be mounted either in the vapour space or be submerged in the liquid fuel without affecting the sensitivity of the apparatus.
- the detecting device may be used in combination with electrically operated explosion suppressing means, the arrangement being such that movement of the pressure rate of rise responsive element when the latter is operated actuates an electric circuit to control the electrical operation of the suppressing means.
- the movable wall constituted by the pressure rate of rise responsive element may comprise a thin flexible diaphragm extending across the housing, and means may be provided for adjusting the sensitivity of the thin flexible diaphragm.
- the movable wall constituted by the pressure rate of rise responsive element may comprise a disc or plate made of magnetic material normally held in the inoperative position by a permanent magnet.
- the second movable wall may comprise a flexible diaphragm extending across the housing and spaced from the pressure rate of rise responsive element, or it may comprise a bellows device.
- Means may be provided to reduce the pressure of liquid surges and the like entering the housing, in order to prevent untimely operation of the device.
- Two pressure rate of rise responsive elements respectively carrying co-operating electrical contacts may be 'United States Patent mounted in the housing on opposite sides of, and spaced apart from, a spacing member extending across the housing, so that shallow chambers are provided between the inner sides of the two pressure rate of rise responsive elements and opposite sides of the spacing member, respectively, a second chamber being formed on the outer sides of each pressure rate of rise responsive member by flexible walls extending across the housing.
- the pressure rate of rise responsive element is fitted with a pressure leak which may be so designed that the element responds only to rates of pressure rise exceeding 5 lbs. per square inch per second, and it may have a sensitivity which is less than /2 lb. per square inch before the pressure leak is provided.
- the device may be fitted with means for attaching it outside a container in which fire or explosion is likely to occur.
- One form of detecting device made according to the invention comprises a cup-shaped housing across the mouth of which a thin diaphragm is mounted, a spacing member disposed in front of said diaphragm and a flexible and extendable membrane or bellows mounted across said spacing member so that said membrane or bellows transmits pressure rise to the diaphragm, which, when actuated, may close a pair of electrical contacts to actuate the explosion suppression means.
- this device When this device is submerged in liquid, it is arranged to be hermetically sealed to exclude liquid from the pressure rate of rise responsive diaphragm and its pressure equalization orifice or hole. As explosions occurring in the vapour space of a liquid container are transmitted throughout the liquid the detecting device operates as well within the vapour space as in the liquid.
- the device is fitted in an aircraft which flies to a high altitude, when the atmospheric pressure falls the air trapped in the device expands, and if a substantial pressure is produced upon the flexible diaphragm an explosion may not operate the detector device in the initial stages.
- the displacement of the diaphragms is made small and the chamber behind the diaphragm is made shallow, as is also the space between the pressure rate of rise detecting diaphragm and the flexible diaphragm, so that the total air volume is sufiiciently small to enable the flexible diaphragm or device to expand without appreciable stress so that the pressure within the detecting device is substantially equal to the external atmospheric pressure at all practical altitudes.
- Figure 1 is a view in vertical section of one embodiment of the invention suitable for use at low altitudes, e. g. not in an aircraft.
- Figures 2 and 3 are respectively views in vertical section and plan of another embodiment of the invention having a high degree of sensitivity and suitable for use at high altitudes e. g. in aircraft fuel tanks.
- Figures 4 and 5 are respectively views in vertical section and plan of a further embodiment of the invention, suitable for use on aircraft flying at high altitudes.
- Figures 6 and 7 are respectively views in vertical section and plan of another embodiment of the invention alsg suitable for use in aircraft flying at high altitudes, an
- Figure 8 is a sectional view illustrating an embodiment of the invention suitable for fixing to the outside of a tank or container.
- numeral 2 denotes a cup-shaped housing and 3 and 9 denote insulating spacer rings secured to the mouth of the housing 2.
- a thin diaphragm 4 of the barometric type is secured across the mouth of the housing 2 to form a substantial chamber 5 at the rear thereof so that the diaphragm will not be greatly aflected by compression of air in the chamber 5 when external pressure variations are applied to the diaphragm. Because the diaphragm device 4 is thin or of the barometric type it is responsive to pressure of very small magnitude.
- a flexible diaphragm 6 is clamped between the rings 3 and 9, this diaphragm 6 being protected from liquid splashing or unintentional contact by a metal wire gauze diaphragm 7
- Diaphragm 4 may rest upon an insulating ring 8 to which it is clamped by the ring 9.
- a wire gauze 7 is clamped between ring 3 and a further ring 10, and a ring clamp 11 clamps all the rings 3, 8, 9 and 10 together and secures them to the mouth of the housing 2.
- Diaphragm 4 is provided with an electric contact plate 12 secured thereto by insulating adhesive or in other manner, a pair of contact points 13 being secured in and insulated from housing 2 so that electrical connection to the contacts 13 can be made by a known type of plug and socket device.
- numerals 20, 20 denote a pair of identical barometric apparatus type of flexible diaphragms mounted upon an insulating spacing member 21 having grooved recesses 21a formed therein to locate the rims of the diaphragms 20.
- the latter are held by clamping rings 22, 22a upon which rest flexible diaphragms 23, 23a made of a suitable resilient material, and which are deeply corrugated for a purpose to be hereafter explained.
- Diaphragms 20 may have a thickness between .004 and .010 and a pair of contacts 20a are secured centrally thereto so that the spacing between the points of contact is about .014".
- spacing member 21 is provided with a central flange 21b disposed between diaphragms 20, the flange being apertured centrally as shown to permit contacts 20a to close.
- Liquid surges or sloshing may however cause inadvertent closure of the contacts, and to avoid this fine wire gauze discs 28, 28a are secured between clamping rings 25, 25a and rings 24, 24a, the mesh of the gauze being of such fineness that the force of the liquid passing through is reduced thus eliminating risk of contact closure, rapid increases in pressure due to an explosion being however transmitted effectively.
- the device shown in Figure 2 constitutes a double diaphragm device having funnel or mouth piece devices in front of each diaphragm 23, 23a to concentrate and direct a pressure valve on to each diaphragm, whereby greater sensitivity of response is obtained.
- Electrical connections 30, 31 are taken from diaphragms 20, 20, through small tubes 32, 33 secured in the member 21, the leads being embedded in insulation compound for sealing the air space between the diaphragms.
- the diaphragm surface area exposed to a rise of pressure wave due to an explosion is double that of a single diaphragm and the distance through which contacts 20a must move before contact is made is halved, thus greatly increasing sensitivity and the speed of detection.
- diaphragms of the type shown are their liability to vibration, but the efiect of vibration can be reduced by inserting blown rubber pads 34 between diaphragms 20 and securing them in flange 21b.
- the detector device may be disposed in the vapour space in fuel tanks, or submerged below the liquid level, and it may be used at ground level at normal atmospheric pressure, or at high altitude at greatly reduced pressures.
- the external rim of diaphragm 48 is clamped by an insulation ring 41, engaging the rim of the diaphragm by insulating rings 42.
- the various parts are assembled upon a base casting or fitting 43 provided with lugs for engagement by the bolts 26.
- the fitting 43 has an insulating bush 44 se cured therein by studs 45.
- a flanged screw threaded thimble device 46 is screwed into bush 44 and is adapted to engage a contact stud 40a secured centrally in diaphragm 40.
- Device 46 has an insulated flanged stud 47 secured therein by screws 48, this stud carrying a central contact screw 49 which can be adjusted to limit the travel of diaphragm 40.
- Screw 49 is provided with securing nuts ,Which lock the screw after it has been set and forms a terminal for a lead from a twin cable 51, the other lead being connected to insulated terminal screw 52 connected to diaphragm 40 by a fiexible lead 53.
- Fitting 43 is provided with a screw threaded boss 43a whereby the device as a whole can be secured to the walls of an aircraft fuel tank denoted 54 by means of lock nuts 55, a resilient washer 56 being provided to form a liquid tight seal.
- a cap device 57 secured by studs 45 forms a seal for the terminal devices upon fitting 43, a sealing washer 58 being provided as shown.
- diaphragm 40 The space behind diaphragm 40 is small and the volume of alr trapped is not large, but the space is sufficient to permit the diaphragm 40 to snap over to make electrical contact when a rapid rise of pressure is applied to diaphragm 23.
- the air volume between diaphragms 40 and 23 is also small under normal conditions, but when the external pressure is lowered diaphragm 23 expands to provide a comparatively large space for expansion of trapped air, so that the appliance is suitable for use at high altitudes.
- Figures 6 and 7 show at detecting device comprising a magnetic contact disc or cap 60 held upon an annular lip 61 formed in a ring 62 by a permanent bar magnet 63 secured by a bracket device 64 to a mounting plate 65.
- the flexible portion of the device is a metal bellows device 6601? known type secured at one end to plate 65 by solder1ng or the like, the open end of the bellows being fitted with a cup shaped device 67 which substantially fills the interior of the bellows and in normal conditions rests in close proximity to plate 65.
- the device is shown secured for example to the wall of an aircraft fuel tank of a rubber-like material type denoted 68, to which plates 62 and 65 are clamped by bolts 69 (see Fig. 7) to external clamping plate 70.
- the magnetic disc 60 is contacted by contact point 71 carried by contact spring 71a clamped by insulation rings 72 and 73.
- a double point contact spring 74a having contact points 74 spaced about .015" from discs 60 is similarly clamped between insulation rings 72, 73.
- Contact spring 71a is provided with an insulated contact terminal stud 75 and spring 74a with stud 76 by which means an electrical circuit can be closed when disc 60 is blown off its seating by an explosion, bellows 66 with cup 67 transmitting the rise of pressure impulse to the disc while air behind disc 60, confined by plate 70, is slightly compressed. Bleed hole 60a permits slow pressure variations which do not therefore atfect the disc.
- a detector device In certain types of plant such as electro-detarrers for use in gas works, exposure of the detecting device to the gases and acids is not desirable and in this case a detector device, according to the invention, may be mounted externally to the container or tank, which is usually a vessel of about four to eight feet in diameter, and about 20 to 50 feet in height.
- a hole is formed in the side of the vessel to which an appliance as shown in Figure 8 may be secured.
- the appliance comprises a funnel shaped fitting denoted a to which is secured a cup shaped fitting b secured thereto by means of bolts or the like, a flexible diaphragm a being secured between the flanges of parts a and b by a ring e.
- the fitting b is bored through in the bottom, the wall of the bore being tapped and adapted to be engaged by a screwed boss 43a, a liquid tight joint being formed by washer 56 between parts 43 and the bottom of fitting b.
- the fitting b is further provided with a flanged boss 1, forming an enclosure for boss 43a, cover 57 and other parts, the boss being fitted with a closure cover g secured thereto by bolts h, a sealing washer i being clamped between these parts to form a hermetical seal.
- a known type of conductor cable j with known types of fittings k are secured in boss 1 to connect terminals 52 and 49 to associated electrical connections.
- Diaphragm d may be of any material resistant to acid, such as lead metal foil, plastic or fabric materials having corrosion resisting properties.
- the pressure in the vessel is substantially atmospheric but if not the pressure in fitting b may be increased to the same value as that in the vessel, minor variations due to passage of gases through the vessel being equalized by diaphragm d. If, on the other hand, the vessel is normally operated at a pressure higher than atmospheric, then a venting orifice or a selfclosing slit in diaphragm d will permit equalization of the pressure in the detecting detector containing chamber with that in the vessel.
- the diaphragm or disc devices In order to detect explosions in the initial stages it is necessary that the diaphragm or disc devices should be adjusted to respond at less than one third of a pound per square inch static pressure when the devices are sealed before the bleed holes or orifices are provided.
- This degree of sensitivity may be obtained in the double diaphragm device (Figs. 2 and 3) by making the diaphragms of a thickness of the order of .004" and of a suitable material such as beryl ium copper.
- the degree of response to rise of pressure is critical and a rate of five pounds per square inch per second is found desirable.
