11759728 · 2023-09-19 ·

A multi-function tank tool including a body, an internal passageway, an upper end and a lower end. The lower end is configured to connect a hose so that a fluid travels in the internal passageway. The upper end includes at least one opening communicating with an interior of the tank. A first hose can be connected to a lower end of the body. The tank may have oil, vapor and an oil/vapor interface. The tank tool can perform at least one of the following: grounding an interior of the tank using at least the tank tool and the first hose; agitating one or more fluids traveling through the internal passageway to mix the one or more fluids traveling through the internal passageway; directing a hot oil adjacent the oil/vapor interface using at least the tank tool and the first hose; and, attaching the tool to a floating tank roof.

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A HELICOPTER LANDING PAD
20220023691 · 2022-01-27 ·

A helipad fire suppression system includes a helipad having an outer boundary that defines an impervious deck area for at least one of landing or storing one or more helicopters, with at least a portion of the impervious deck area being designated a fire suppression target area. The system includes a nozzle assembly having a spray-type nozzle for spraying a fire suppression fluid in a radial pattern. The nozzle assembly can include a nozzle enclosure for enclosing the spray-type nozzle and can be configured for installation in a surface made of an impervious material. The nozzle assembly is disposed in an interior portion of the impervious deck area so as to provide the fire suppression fluid to the fire suppression target area.

Device for testing control of polymorphic foam on flowing fire

The present invention discloses a device for testing control of polymorphic foam on flowing fire, comprising a test bench, a combustible liquid injecting mechanism and a polymorphic foam spraying mechanism. The combustible liquid injecting mechanism and the polymorphic foam spraying mechanism are relatively arranged on the test bench. The combustible liquid injecting mechanism can spray combustible liquid to the test bench. The polymorphic foam spraying mechanism can spray polymorphic foam to the test bench, and the spraying direction of the polymorphic foam is relative to the spraying direction of the combustible liquid. The present invention can be used for testing and observing cut-off and control effects of polymorphic foam on combustible liquid flowing fire.
