Definitions
- the invention relates to aerosol-forming fire-extinguishing means and may be used for suppressing the seat of fire in closed and open spaces and preventing the explosion of vapors and aerosuspensions of flammable liquids, combustibles, and materials.
- the fire-extinguishing performance of their dispersed phase improves due to an increase in the total effective surface area of airborne particles and the consequent increase in the amount of active radicals retained by this surface.
- the action of airborne particles on active radicals in the fire area terminates the spread of the chemical reaction, and the gaseous phase of aerosol inhibits flame by diluting it, which also results in its suppression.
- An aerosol medium may be formed by igniting a pyrotechnic composition consisting of components which either form gaseous-phase combustion inhibitors, together with a dispersed medium in the combustion process, or are themselves the combustion inhibitors.
- the solids or condensed liquids of the dispersed phase which are released during combustion contain salts, oxides, or hydroxides of, for example, alkali or alkali-earth metals, which considerably improves the fire-extinguishing performance of the aerosol's condensation phase.
- Most fire-extinguishing methods involve common operations, namely: placing the aerosol-forming composition in the area of the seat of the fire, initiating (upon the occurrence or detection of the fire's flame) a sustainable combustion of the composition, producing products in a finely dispersed aerosol form, and then allowing the aerosol medium to act on the seat of fire.
- the method whereby fires are extinguished by placing, in a protected space, the aerosol products forming in the combustion of the pyrotechnic composition, in which the dispersed phase contains the salts of alkali or transition-group metals, and being cooled both in and outside the fire area is already known (SU, a.c. No. 2008045, A62C 3/00, 1994).
- the aerosol products are cooled by introducing a coolant which, in the fire area, appears as the thermal disintegration products of the lining of the reactor containing the pyrotechnic composition.
- an aerial or liquid coolant is used for the coolant outside the fire area.
- the presence of the salts of alkali or transition-group metals in the aerosol products of combustion improves the fire-extinguishing performance of the condensed phase of aerosol, as compared with the previous example, but the inefficient means of cooling and the resulting high temperature of the combustion of the pyrotechnic composition both prevent reducing considerably the temperature of the aerosol products arriving at the seat of the fire, thereby reducing their fire-extinguishing concentration. Furthermore, the high level of toxins in the products of the composition combustion prohibits using this method in closed spaces in the presence of people, just as in the previous example.
- the above fire-extinguishing methods make use of an aerosol-forming composition containing an oxidant, fuel-binder, and additives.
- the composition's formula does provides neither for an acceptably low temperature for the aerosol medium forming in composition combustion nor a satisfactorily low level of toxins to extinguish fires in closed spaces.
- the most suitable one is that including a supplementary fuel whose thermal disintegration products absorb energy released in fuel-binder oxidation and thereby cause the composition's combustion temperature to decrease somewhat (WO 92/17244, A62D 1/00, 1992).
- toxins such as CO, NH 3 and HCN form due to the incomplete oxidation of the fuel, which restricts using that composition as the fire-extinguishing compound.
- the ambient air further oxidizes some of the incomplete products of oxidation, which causes the temperature of the aerosol jet acting on the seat of the fire to Increase and consequently reduces the effectiveness of the flame suppression.
- the previous example also provides a fire-extinguishing system which includes a reactor for the placement and combustion of the above aerosol-forming composition and its ignition. That system, however, lacks a means for lowering the level of incomplete-combustion toxic products in the reactor, and so the aerosol jet emitted from the reactor heats up in the air through further oxidization of the incomplete-combustion products. To avoid this, the system must be used in combination with means to cool the aerosol jet, supplementary units including a gaseous-type or water cooler, for example for cooling the aerosol jet, which complicates fire-fighting operations and impairs the fire-extinguishing performance of aerosol-forming composition.
- EP-A-0 637 458 corresponding to RU-C-2046614 discloses a method for producing a fire-extinguishing composition comprising oxidant and fuel-binder. The composition is placed in the area of the seat of the fire and on ignition produces combustion products in aerosol form.
- compositions which may be used for extinguishing fires and comprising oxidant and fuel-binder.
- the compositions produce reduced levels of toxins following combustion.
- a fire-extinguishing composition comprising the following components in weight%:
- the objective is achieved due to the fact that in the method involving the preparation of a fire-extinguishing composition as defined above, placement of the composition in the area of the seat of the fire, initiating a sustainable fuel-oxidizing reaction producing combustion products in finely dispersed aerosol form, and then permitting the aerosol medium to act on the seat of the fire, according to the invention, in the Immediate area of the fuel oxidation reaction, the level of toxins in the aerosol products of composition combustion is reduced and, simultaneously, the equilibrium temperature for complete oxidation of the fuel-binder combustion products is lowered.
- the level of toxins in the aerosol products of the combustion of the composition may be reduced by introducing a reagent which concurrently promotes a reduction in the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of the fuel-binder combustion products.
- supplementary fire-extinguishing means to force, for example, a fire-extinguishing agent in the form of a liquid, gas, or powder out of reservoirs containing such agents so that this agent is fed into the seat of fire.
- a fire-extinguishing agent in the form of a liquid, gas, or powder out of reservoirs containing such agents so that this agent is fed into the seat of fire.
- the thermal disintegration products of the low-energy supplementary fuel which is introduced to the fuel-binder at the composition preparation stage may be used.
- This supplementary fuel may be introduced separately, or in combination with carbolic acid derivatives, or as a mixture including polymers, resins, and elastomers, in the form of individual components and their mixtures.
- 4-oxybenzoic acid is used as the fuel-binder and low-carbon and carbon-free polynitrogen compounds or organic or inorganic azides as the low-energy supplementary fuel.
- the azides used are azodicarbonate, guanidine, dicyanodiamide, melon, melamine, urea, urotropin, azobisformamide, semicarbazide, dihydroglyoxime, tetrazole, ditetrazole, and their derivatives, or their salts or blends.
- nitrates or perchlorates of alkali metals it is appropriate to use nitrates or perchlorates of alkali metals.
- the fire-extinguishing compound consisting of the oxidant, fuel-binder, and additives also includes the supplementary fuel, promoting a reduction in the equilibrium temperature for the complete oxidation of the fuel-binder combustion products.
- Low-carbon and carbon-free polynitrogen compounds or organic or inorganic azides such as azodicarbonate, guanidine, dicyanodiamide, melon, melamine, urea, urotropin, azobisformamide, semicarbazide, dihydroglyoxime, tetrazole, ditetrazole, and their derivatives, or their salts or blends with varying ratios may be used as the low-energy supplementary fuel for the compound.
- the composition also contains the following metals as additives: aluminum and magnesium, individually or their blends or alloys; in this respect, the latter may incorporate also the metals of 1 st and 2 nd groups of the periodic table, copper, iron, and metal hydrides. It makes sense additionally to incorporate catalytic and processing additives in the form of oxides of copper, iron, zinc, manganese or chromium in the compound.
- the fire-extinguishing system containing a reactor for the placement in the fire-extinguishing composition containing the oxidant and the fuel-binder, the ignition that initiates the composition's combustion producing the combustion products in the form of finely dispersed aerosol acting on the seat of the fire is provided with means installed in the reactor and intended to reduce the level of toxins in the area of the composition's combustion, and this ignition is implemented so as to be in thermodynamic interaction with the seat of the fire and thereby to ignite the composition automatically in cases of ambient temperature increase caused by fire, with the possibility of implementing the above means for reducing the level of toxins in the area of the composition's combustion in the form of the reactive-type reactor component promoting a reduction in the equilibrium temperature for complete oxidation of the fuel-binder combustion products.
- the fire-extinguishing system may be equipped with means for cooling the aerosol products of the composition's combustion prior to their action on the seat of fire, with the possibility of arranging these cooling means outside the area of the fuel oxidation reaction. It is also appropriate to equip the fire-extinguishing system with means for feeding a part of the aerosol products of composition combustion into the supplementary fire-extinguishing means to force, for example, a fire-extinguishing agent in the form of liquid, gas, or powder out of the reservoirs containing such agents so that this agent is fed into the seat of fire.
- the low-carbon and carbon-free polynitrogen compounds or organic or inorganic azides such as azodicarbonate, guanidine, dicyanodiamide, melon, melamine, urea, urotropin, azobisformamide, semicarbazide, dihydroglyoxime, tetrazole, ditetrazole, and their derivatives, or their salts or blends are appropriate for the low-energy supplementary fuel.
- reducing the level of toxins in the aerosol products of the composition's combustion in the immediate area of the fuel oxidation reaction ensures not only the formation of an aerosol improved toxicological properties of combustion products, but a reduction in the temperature of the aerosol jet acting on the seat of the fire as well.
- the compound that contains a supplementary fuel which promotes a reduction in the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of the fuel-binder combustion products the compound components in the above-mentioned weight ratio allow a reduction in the level of toxins in the resultant aerosol by further oxidizing the incomplete-combustion products of the fuel-binder in the immediate area of the reaction, As a result, the level of toxins in the aerosol jet entering the seat of the fire is reduced, promoting a reduction in the temperature to which the jet heats up due to further oxidation of the toxins by atmospheric oxygen.
- selecting the type of supplementary fuel makes it possible to decrease considerably the lower limit of the fire-extinguishing concentration of aerosol and thereby ensure an acceptable rate of consumption for the aerosol-forming compound when extinguishing open fires.
- low-energy fuel Used as a supplementary fuel, separately or in combination with the fuel-binder, low-energy fuel permits the intensification and control of the compound's combustion process and, as a result, an increase in the outflow of the finely dispersed portion of gas-aerosol mixture produced by combustion, which results In improved fire-extinguishing performance by the compounds and a reduced temperature for their combustion.
- low-carbon or carbon-free polynitrogen compounds such as dicyanodiamide
- the combustion process permits the combustion process to achieve, simultaneously, improved fire-extinguishing performance, further decreases in combustion temperature, and better oxidation of combustibles, i.e., to ensure a further decrease in the toxicity of combustion products.
- oxidants Used as oxidants, nitrates or perchlorates of alkali metals like potassium and sodium or their blends in compounds containing low-energy supplementary fuel in combination with carbolic-acid derivatives promote the formation of K 2 O, Na 2 O, KOH, NaOH, K 2 CO 3 , Na 2 CO 3 , KCl, NaCl, and similar solid particles in combustion products and further Improve the fire-extinguishing performance of the aerosol component of the compound combustion products.
- Using such oxidants produces combustion products with a higher content of inert gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide, which further improves the compounds and fire-extinguishing medium in their fire-extinguishing performance and toxicological properties, respectively.
- the polymers, resins, and elastomers in diverse combinations with 4-oxybenzoic acid improve the cohesive bonds between the compound particles, allowing the fabrication of large-size units with a capacity up to and exceeding 100 kg. In this respect, the strength of the units is considerably improved.
- metal additives like aluminum and magnesium in the form of individual components or their mixtures or alloys - and the latter may also incorporate the metals of the 1 st and 2 nd groups, such as copper, iron, and metal hydrides - permit an increase in the flammability of compounds and a controllable rate of compound combustion.
- composition of processing additives improves its flow properties
- the catalytic additives in the form of copper, iron, zinc, manganese, chromium oxides improve the toxicological properties of combustion products, that is, contribute to decreasing the CO, NH 3 , HCN levels in these products.
- the proposed fire-extinguishing system which incorporates a reactor in which the fire-extinguishing composition and the means for reducing the level of toxins in the area of combustion of the composition are placed may treat both enclosed and open fires.
- Implementing the ignition so as to enable it to be in thermodynamic interaction with the seat of the fire permits self-activation of the system in fire, thereby improving its fire-extinguishing performance.
- the fire-extinguishing method is implemented as follows:
- the aerosol-forming fire-extinguishing composition is prepared in the sequence of required operations to ensure the necessary aggregate state of the composition.
- the powder components including the oxidant for which nitrates or perchlorates of alkali metals are preferably used, and the fuel binder are ground and blended, then the component mixture is compacted using the so-called "blind" method to obtain a charged cartridge in the required shape.
- the component mixture is dissolved in the liquid agent, adding thickeners, as required.
- the aggregate state of the composition is chosen depending on the way its being placed in the area of the seat of the fire.
- the composition may be used in any of the above-mentioned aggregate states. If placed in the seat of an incipient fire by, for example, throwing the composition towards the seat, a composition prepared in a thickened state is preferable.
- the sustainable oxidizing reaction which produces the combustion products in aerosol form is initiated in the composition fuel.
- the fuel oxidizing reaction may be initiated remotely by effects occurring in the seat of fire, which is preferable for fire-extinguishing in closed spaces where the initiating function is performed by the temperature increase sensed by the fire-extinguishing device which is placed in the protected space beforehand. If thrown towards the seat of fire, the composition may be ignited at various points in the trajectory, including those within the space of fire and above it.
- the composition's combustion its fuel-binder oxidizes, producing combustion products in aerosol form. Due to incomplete fuel oxidation, the gaseous phase of aerosol contains toxins, mainly in the form of carbon monoxide, ammonia, and cyanides, which oxidize further in air and thereby increase the temperature of the fire-extinguishing medium acting on the seat of the fire. To avoid this undesirable effect, the level of toxins in the aerosol products of the composition's combustion is reduced in the immediate area of the fuel oxidation reaction and, simultaneously, the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of the fuel-binder combustion products is lowered. The latter operations cause the heat released in composition's combustion to decrease considerably, resulting In toxicologically improved reduced-temperature aerosol fed in the fire area.
- Reducing the level of toxins in the aerosol products resulting from the composition's combustion is achievable in various ways, for example, by introducing a reagent promoting a reduction in the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of the fuel-binder combustion products. In doing so, the level of toxic carbon-monoxide in the aerosol is reduced by terminating the fuel oxidation reaction, with the involved carbonic-core formation process leading to an acceleration in the oxidation of carbon monoxide. The level of other toxins is reduced through chemical reactions proceeding between the reagent and the other components of fire-extinguishing composition at the lowered temperature of its combustion
- the thermal disintegration products of low-energy supplementary fuel introduced in the fuel-binder at the composition preparation stage are suitable. Then the energy released in the area of fuel oxidation reaction goes into the disintegration of the low-energy supplementary fuel, resulting in a reduced temperature for the composition's combustion. Further chemical reactions between the thermal disintegration products of the low-energy supplementary fuel and the fire-extinguishing composition products lead to the formation of nontoxic products of combustion.
- Low-carbon and carbon-free polynitrogen compounds for example, dicyanodiamide, melon, melamine, urea, urotropin
- low-energy supplementary fuel are suitable as low-energy supplementary fuel.
- carbolic acid derivatives for example 4-oxybenzoic acid
- polymers, resins, and elastomers which may be incorporated as individual components, or their blends in the fuel-binder results in an improvement in, as compared with the most similar previous method, the fire-extinguishing process in respect of all three aspects, namely: fire-extinguishing performance, combustion temperature, and the level of toxins, as shown the table attached herein.
- the aerosol entering the seat of the fire covers the fire area and comes in contact with the flame, resulting in the realization of the previously described mechanism of suppressing the physical and chemical processes of combustion.
- Reducing the aerosol temperature through feeding the reagent facilitating a reduction in the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of fuel-binder combustion products, into the area of fire-extinguishing composition combustion permits improving further the fire-extinguishing system performance through feeding a part of the aerosol products of the composition's combustion into the supplementary fire-extinguishing means to force the fire-extinguishing agent in the form of liquid, gas, or powder out of reservoirs containing such agents so that this agent is fed into the seat of fire.
- the temperature of the aerosol leaving the area where it forms is sometimes insufficiently low to permit efficient fire-extinguishing.
- the aerosol products of the composition's combustion may be cooled prior to action on the seat of the fire. Cooling in such cases is preferably implemented outside the area of the fuel oxidation reaction by, for example, introducing water or brine to the aerosol,
- the proposed fire-extinguishing method may be realized by using as the fire-extinguishing composition a compound consisting of the oxidant, fuel-binder, additive, and supplementary fuel, facilitating a reduction in the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of the fuel-binder combustion products, with the above components being used in the following ratios, mass %: fuel-binder 1.5 to 18 supplementary fuel 3.0 to 25 additives 0.5 to 10 oxidant the remainder
- the low-energy fuel may be used separately or in combination with the fuel-binder components.
- Low-carbon and carbon-free polynitrogen compounds or organic or inorganic azides such as azodicarbonate, guanidine, dicyanodiamide, melon, melamine, urea, urotropin, azobisformamide, semicarbazide, dihydroglyoxime, tetrazole, ditetrazole, and their derivatives, or salts are may be used as low-energy fuel for the compound,
- Nitrates or perchlorates of alkali metals are used for the oxidant in the compound in all cases of its preparation.
- metals - aluminum and magnesium in the form of individual components or their blends or alloys; in this respect, the latter may additionally include the metals of the 1 st and 2 nd groups, such as copper, iron and metal hydrides - are used.
- the compound may also contain processing and catalytic additives in the form of oxide of copper, iron, zinc, manganese or chromium.
- the grounds for establishing the ranges for the above component content are shown in the attached table.
- the first column of the table provides a list of substances used in the proposed fire-extinguishing compound and divided into the groups relating to the oxidant, fuel-binder, the supplementary fuel which promotes a reduction in the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of the fuel-binder combustion products, processing and catalytic additives.
- the lower items in the column contain the following names - fire-extinguishing performance, combustion temperature, and the level of toxins - of the performance of the fire-extinguishing process under examination.
- the second and further columns numbered 1 to 25 provide the mass percentage values for the content of specific components used in the fire-extinguishing compound sample under testing and the values of fire-extinguishing process performance.
- the table data also give grounds for varying the mass content of supplementary fuel in the fire-extinguishing compound within only a limited range.
- content below 3 mass % and above 25 mass % the fire-extinguishing process performance on average does not exceed that of the most similar previous example (samples 17 and 18), while using the supplementary fuel in the fire-extinguishing compound in the ratio within the range of 3 to 25 mass % improves this performance considerably (samples 1 to 14).
- the fire-extinguishing process performances for samples 19 to 22 where the supplementary-fuel mass content of the fire-extinguishing compound does not fall outside the permissible range are far from satisfactory.
- the ratio may vary for the oxidants of nitrates or perchlorates of alkali metals. The ratio affects only the applicability of compounds.
