30、999) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1127-2:2002, EN 13237:2003 and the following apply. 3.1 automatic explosion extinguishing system assembly of equipment for the automatic detection of the beginning of an explosion and initiation of
31、the discharge of the extinguishing agent in order, in this way, to limit the destructive effects of the explosion EN 14591-4:2007 (E) 5 3.2 HRD extinguishing agent container device containing an explosion suppression agent that can be discharged by internal pressure NOTE HRD is the abbreviation for
32、High Rate Discharge 3.3 sensor device that is triggered by changes in one or more parameters, e.g. temperature and/or radiation, caused by a developing explosion. 4 General requirements 4.1 General Automatic explosion extinguishing systems for roadheaders essentially comprise the following co-ordina
33、ted components: sensors for explosion ignition detection; extinguishing agent containers for explosion fighting; control system for monitoring the individual components and their combined effect as well as the triggering of the extinguishing system (electronic control and operating unit); power supp
34、ly and emergency power supply. The number and configuration of the individual components are determined by the type of machine and by the roadway cross-section to be protected. EN 13463-1 and EN 60079-0 shall be applied. 4.2 Functional requirements 4.2.1 General All components are to be designed for
35、 high operating reliability in accordance with the “fail-safe” principle. A high level of protection against incorrect triggering shall be ensured by means of a selective response action and minimum sensitivity to external interference factors. Appropriate protection devices are to be used to protec
36、t the components from unauthorized external interventions. If the roadheader has an automatic explosion extinguishing installation, the roadheader shall be equipped with a compulsory interlock. All electrical equipment shall be of class M1. The system is designed for an ambient temperature of 20 C t
37、o 40 C. A degree of protection of at least IP 54 is required. EN 14591-4:2007 (E) 6 4.2.2 Sensors Explosion-detection sensors shall operate on the basis of one of the physical quantities related to the event of an explosion (e.g. type of flame, radiation). In this respect, full use shall be made of
38、the maximum response speed and sensitivity. The monitoring range of the detection sensors shall be fixed in such a way that the system only detects those events that have to be controlled. The events to be detected are explosions that have been caused by the cutter head of the roadheader machine and
39、 which are initiated in the vicinity of the machine, but not fires occurring outside the cutting zone. The functional reliability of the sensors shall not be impaired by local factors (dust, water/mist, construction materials, etc.). The function of the sensors shall be proven by means of a function
40、 test with a methane flame. 4.2.3 Extinguishing agent containers The discharge speed and total discharge time of the extinguishing agent containers have to be harmonized to the geometrical conditions of the roadhead. In this respect, the following parameters have to be taken into account in particul
41、ar: distance from roadhead; radial dimensions of roadway cross-section; direction of discharge relative to the cutter-arm axis. 4.2.4 Electronic control and discharge unit It shall be possible to connect at least 2 sensors to the electronic control and discharge unit. The control and discharge unit
42、controls and monitors all the electrical signals relating to the functions and safety of the systems, such as: the power supply; all the connected sensors; the storage of important system data in non-volatile memory modules; the display and operating elements; the ignition system; the automatic test
43、 routine. It shall have a data transmission interface to the remote monitoring unit. 4.2.5 Power supply and emergency power supply The power supply shall be designed as an emergency power supply for an operating period of at least 24 h with automatic changeover. In order to prevent spurious tripping
44、, it shall be protected against interference from the supply network. EN 14591-4:2007 (E) 7 4.3 Other requirements The manner in which the components of the extinguishing system are installed on the roadheader and/or incorporated into the technical equipment of the machine shall take account of the
45、following factors: mechanical loading due to impact and vibration stress; minimum disruption of the normal working sequence with regard to line-of-sight obstruction, restriction of working zone, e.g. when back-cutting the face, and access to the roadhead area and to the vicinity of roadheader machin
46、e; allowance for mechanical equipment such as water sprays, scaffolds and mobile platforms; sufficient access for repair and maintenance work; maintenance-friendly design for routine maintenance and inspection. 5 Special requirements 5.1 General Automatic explosion extinguishing systems shall be des
47、igned so that they do not affect the performance or mode of operation of the roadheader. Their component parts shall not impede the cutting action (e.g. back-cutting of arches, loading, collision with loading device) or block the operators line of sight. Components shall be designed in such a way th
48、at they can be replaced at the workplace, provided that this does not conflict with safety requirements. 5.2 Mechanical strength All machine and sheet-metal parts, including all strengthening and stiffening members, are to be constructed from steel which meets the requirements of EN 10025. Test cert
49、ificates shall be issued. When designing and manufacturing welded components, care shall be taken to ensure that notching and stress concentrations are avoided and are neutralized by appropriate measures, e.g. heat treatment and stress-free annealing. As a minimum requirement, an inspection certificate 3.1 according to EN 10204 shall be issued when using sheet and wide flats of high yield strength structural steels in the quenched and tempered or precipitation hardened
