AUTOMATED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR FIRE PREVENTION IN ASPIRATION SYSTEMS WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DUST-COLLECTING EQUIPMENT
PURPOSE. The authors of the article study the possibility of preventing explosion and fire hazardous situations in aspiration and ventilation systems at industrial entities where combustible dust is generated and circulates. The purpose of research is developing fire safety monitoring system aimed at preventing fire and explosion hazardous situations in industrial aspiration system. METHODS. The research methods are based on using systems analysis, probability theory and mathematical statistics, expert evaluation, mathematical modelling and optimization, organizational experiment as well as economic and mathematical analysis. FINDINGS. The research made it possible to identify the patterns of explosion-proof operation of aspiration systems used for various types of dust filters; to offer monitoring system based on pressure measuring on dust partitions of dust filters and including engineering support and software; to develop and prove modular filter unit enabling to automate the selection of parameters of dust filters work. RESEARCH APPLICATION FIELD. The results presented can be used for providing explosion and fire-proof aspiration systems operation in many branches of industry. CONCLUSIONS. The authors of the article suggest a new approach to the development of fire prevention system at explosion and fire hazardous industrial entities on the basis of the controlling system of aspiration operating parameters and dust filters standard parameters that can prevent an emergency at a very early stage. In the future, it is planned to consider the problem of integrating this system into the industrial fire protection system.
