Furthermore, the present invention can be configured to include a communication module in the coal silo monitoring device to transmit information observed by a sensor to an external terminal, so that a user can predict the possibility of fire and/or explosion inside the coal silo.

Description

Coal Silo Monitoring Device and System

The present invention is for monitoring the inside of a coal silo to prevent explosion and/or ignition due to temperature, humidity, flame, flame, dust, atmospheric pressure, particulates, etc. inside the coal silo storing coal, and more specifically, a sensing sensor It relates to a coal silo monitoring device and system capable of measuring and monitoring the internal environment by inserting the monitoring device included in the coal silo.

The coal silo monitoring device is for measuring and monitoring the environment inside the coal silo, and provides information such as temperature, humidity, flame, flame, dust, atmospheric pressure, and particulates inside the coal silo to prevent users from exploding and/or igniting. It is a device and a system that enables it.

In the conventional case, the coal silo monitoring device placed a sensor on the roof of the silo to detect the temperature, humidity, and flames inside the silo, and accordingly adjusted the internal environment using a sprinkler or the like.

However, in the case of coal silos, coal is stacked inside the silo in a stacked structure, and dust, particulates, etc., have been generated due to friction between coals, and in order to solve this, sensors that can measure dust, particulates, and air pressure A product family that includes is being released.

As described above, the existing product line can measure and/or monitor the environment in the upper part of the inside of the coal silo based on sensors that can measure temperature, humidity, flame, dust, particulates, and air pressure. It is impossible to measure the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and flame of the space between the layers, and it is practically impossible to measure dust, particulates, etc. generated by friction between coals.

In addition, in the case of existing products and/or systems, temperature, humidity, dust, particulates, etc. can be measured by installing outside the coal silo (when fixed inside, dust or water sprayed inside the coal silo) There have also been problems in that it is impossible to accurately measure the situation or condition inside a coal silo due to limitations in which a sensor malfunctions or is covered by a foreign material, such that the sensor becomes inoperable.

In addition, in the case of existing products and/or systems, as the outside of the coal silo is installed, the temperature rise or carbon monoxide (Co) generation and/or inside the coal silo generated above the set range that can be caused by the pressurization of coal dust with a high oil content stored inside the coal silo It was also difficult to confirm the exact location of the ignition point, etc.

Therefore, there is a need for an improvement measure that can measure the temperature, humidity, flame, dust, particulates and atmospheric pressure of the space between the loaded coal beds.
