Injection head for liquefied fire-extinguishing agent
An injection head is configured to discharge a liquefied fire-extinguishing agent. The injection head includes an injection head body configured to be connected to piping for supplying the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent; an orifice plate positioned in the injection head body, the orifice plate including orifices defined therein; a block-shaped porous member positioned at an outlet of the orifice plate; and a deflector positioned across from the block-shaped porous member such that a discharging clearance for the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent is defined.
1. An injection head configured to discharge a liquefied fire-extinguishing agent, the injection head comprising:
an injection head body configured to be connected to piping for supplying the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent;
an orifice plate positioned in the injection head body, the orifice plate including orifices defined therein;
a block-shaped porous member positioned at an outlet of the orifice plate; and
a deflector positioned across from the block-shaped porous member such that a discharging clearance for the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent is defined,
wherein:
the block-shaped porous member is configured to promote diffusion and vaporization of the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent;
a flat end face of the block-shaped porous member is configured to discharge the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent such that the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent collides with a face of the deflector; and
the face of the deflector is flat.
2. The injection head of claim 1 , further comprising a clearance adjusting mechanism configured to set a size of the discharging clearance for the liquefied fire-extinguishing agent.
3. The injection head of claim 1 , wherein at least one portion of an outer periphery of the block-shaped porous member is open to an atmosphere in an axial direction of the injection head and a radial direction of the injection head.
