With the increasing emphasis on fires by petrochemical enterprises and the increasing awareness of fire safety and the requirements of national standards and regulations, petrochemical enterprises have gradually installed installations, tanks, control rooms, substations, and instrument cabinets in petrochemical enterprises in recent years. The automatic fire alarm system played a good role in detecting and controlling the initial fire. However, because of the harsh environment characteristics of the large-scale dust, corrosive nature, outdoor waterproof and explosion-proof requirements of the petrochemical enterprises, as well as the design, construction, daily operation test management, and maintenance, the automatic fire alarm system also occurs during actual use. Repeated failure alarms can easily result in the laziness of the on-duty personnel and the lack of attention to the confirmation work after the alarm, thus affecting the use of the initial fire detection and control. Therefore, this article mainly discusses the types of fault alarms, failure alarm reasons and preventive measures that have been used for the Norma R21 type automatic fire alarm system used in the plant area of ​​Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company for 6 years.
2. Fault alarm type
When a fault occurs, the Nomura R21 fire alarm controller will issue an "abnormality" fault alarm sound, display the type of fault, and print out any fault display of the system. Nominal R21 fire alarm system generally has 13 types of fault alarms: CPU abnormality, fuse abnormality, printer abnormality, connector abnormality, main power supply abnormality, standby power supply abnormality, IC card abnormality, test abnormality, transmission shift abnormality, and display disk abnormality , Abnormal output value, main signal line abnormality, and monitor line abnormality.
Among them, three types of fault alarms, such as abnormal output values, abnormal main signal lines, and abnormal transfer reports, are the most common and the causes are complex. Therefore, the causes of the three types of fault alarms are specifically analyzed below.
3. Analysis of the causes of several common fault alarms
3.1 "Abnormal Output Value" Failure Alarm Analysis
This kind of fault is caused by the failure or fouling of the intelligent detector. The cause of the fault alarm is caused by the following situations.
(1) Accumulated dust after the detector has been used for a long time, or internal electronic component parameters drift, resulting in deterioration of the detector performance and failure alarm.
(2) Improper selection of detector design.
(3) The installation position of the detector is not properly arranged in strict accordance with the specifications.
(4) The special places such as the dining room are easy to produce aroma gathered in the ceiling, easily causing the fly to stay or bite the metal mesh on the ceiling detector, causing the detector to have a serious contamination and a fault alarm.
(5) Rainy fog diffuses into the room or is wet due to the weather, causing indoor smoke detectors to malfunction.
(6) Because of the large dust in the installation place of the smoke detector, it is easy to accumulate ash or dust into the dark room inside the detector after a period of use, and a fault alarm occurs.
(7) The linear beam smoke detector has caused its transmitter, receiver lens contamination due to long-term maintenance, or the deviation of the optical path of the linear beam smoke detector, the above two conditions will make its receiver The amount of light received is reduced and a fault alarm occurs.
(8) The detectors of outdoor flame detectors, manual alarm buttons, etc., due to poor waterproof performance, the internal electronic modules will generate a fault alarm after entering the water.
3.2 "Main Signal Line Abnormal" Fault Cause Analysis
The main reason for this type of failure is that the address coding device is faulty or removed, or the alarm device binary signal bus is disconnected or short-circuited.
(1) The terminal screws were not tightened during construction, causing the wires to loosen or loosen and causing a disconnection.
(2) The construction does not meet the requirements of the “Construction and Acceptance Criteria for Automatic Fire Alarm Systemâ€, and it is prone to disconnection or short circuit.
(3) After the automatic fire alarm system has been running for a long time, it will be disconnected or short-circuited due to aging of the line, loose wiring, and poor contact.
(4) There are many characteristics of reconstruction and expansion construction in the petrochemical enterprise installation site. It is easy to damage the directly buried fire alarm signal cable at the site during construction, resulting in bus disconnection or short circuit.
3.3 "Transmission report abnormality" failure alarm analysis (1) The fire alarm controller networked equipment stops working (power failure or failure), resulting in communication interruption.
(2) Network transmission equipment (fiber transceivers, digital-to-analog converters, communication protocol converters, network cards) or transmission lines (cables, optical cables) malfunction, causing communication interruptions.
4. Failure prevention measures
In order to reduce the occurrence of fault alarms and improve the operational reliability of fire alarm systems and the accuracy of fire alarms, it is necessary to take preventive measures in the aspects of design, construction, daily operation test management and maintenance.
