In the field of mining, air compressors serve as the "power heart" and undertake core tasks such as providing power to pneumatic machinery and delivering clean air. However, it operates in high load and complex environments for a long time, and the risk of fire is always an "invisible killer" that threatens the safety production of mines. The air compressor automatic fire extinguishing system developed by the intelligent special fire protection technology team of Jiutong Changsheng, with its advantages of intelligence, precision, and efficiency, is becoming a new benchmark for equipment fire protection in mining areas, building an indestructible defense line for mine safety.

1、 Air compressor fire risk: the 'timed bomb' of mine safety

Air compressor fires have the characteristics of high temperature, high pressure, and flammability and explosiveness. Once they occur, the fire often spreads rapidly and is difficult to control. Fire not only causes deformation and damage to equipment components, but may also trigger secondary explosions, posing great difficulties for rescue work. In addition, harmful gases such as carbon monoxide produced by combustion pose a serious threat to the safety of on-site personnel.

Traditional firefighting methods have obvious shortcomings in dealing with air compressor fires. Manual inspections are difficult to cover all areas, resulting in slow response times and low firefighting efficiency when a fire occurs. However, traditional fire extinguishing methods such as dry powder fire extinguishers and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers have problems of incomplete extinguishing and easy re ignition of the fire. Therefore, developing an automated fire protection system that can monitor in real-time, respond quickly, and extinguish fires efficiently has become an urgent need for mine safety production.

2、 Automatic Fire Extinguishing System for Air Compressors: Technological Innovation and Core Advantages

a. Pure mechanical self starting technology: no power supply required, fast response

The automatic fire extinguishing system of the air compressor adopts pure mechanical self starting technology, which does not require external power supply or manual intervention. The system installs a precise temperature sensing fire source detection device above the air compressor equipment and sets the triggering temperature value. When the temperature around the device rises abnormally and reaches the set threshold, the detection device automatically triggers and activates the fire extinguishing device. This design enables the system to respond quickly in the event of a fire, release extinguishing agents, and prevent the spread of the fire.

b. Precise detection and zoning fire extinguishing: fully submerged coverage, no dead angle protection

The system adopts advanced point based temperature and fire detection technology, which can monitor the fire changes of the air compressor and its surrounding environment in real time and accurately. The detection devices are distributed in various protective spaces, and trigger temperature values suitable for temperature changes in the space are set to achieve real-time discrimination and capture of abnormal temperatures in the space. Once a fire is detected, the system delivers the fire extinguishing agent directly to the sprinkler head above the fire source through a customized agent pipeline, releasing it in the form of fine water mist or solid mist, achieving full coverage and ensuring no blind spots for protection.

c. Efficient and environmentally friendly fire extinguishing agents: fast fire extinguishing, pollution-free

The system uses environmentally friendly fire extinguishing agents such as perfluorohexane and water-based fire extinguishing agents, which have strong flame suppression properties and can quickly vaporize during the fire extinguishing process, taking away a large amount of heat from the fire source and reducing the temperature of the fire scene. At the same time, a protective film is formed on the surface of the combustible material, which can effectively block oxygen contact and achieve suffocation fire extinguishing. These fire extinguishing agents are harmless to human health and will not cause pollution to the environment, meeting the requirements of green mining construction.

d. Anti vibration and anti-corrosion design: adaptable to harsh environments, stable and reliable

All components of the system are made of high-strength stainless steel material, which is shock resistant, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature resistant, suitable for various harsh working environments in mines. The system operates normally without pressure, with more stable performance and lower failure rates. In addition, the system also has data recording and analysis functions, which can record real-time data of the entire process of fire detection, alarm, and extinguishing, providing strong support for subsequent fire cause analysis and equipment maintenance.

With the development of intelligent and unmanned mining, the automatic fire extinguishing system of air compressors will further integrate with technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data to achieve remote monitoring, intelligent warning, and automated control. In the future, the system will have stronger adaptive capabilities and be able to automatically adjust detection and fire extinguishing parameters based on the environmental characteristics and equipment operating status of different mines, providing personalized fire protection solutions.

In addition, the application scope of the automatic fire extinguishing system for air compressors will be further expanded. In addition to the mining industry, this system can also be applied to key equipment fire protection in industries such as petrochemicals, electricity, and transportation, providing safe operation protection for various fields.
