Positive pressure and negative pressure test containers are common equipment in laboratory work, designed to maintain a relatively stable pressure environment to meet the needs of experiments. To achieve this goal, these test containers usually need to be equipped with some auxiliary facilities, among which centrifugal fans are a very important part.

A centrifugal fan is a commonly used type of fan that works by sucking in air and blowing it out into the target area through rotating blades. In positive pressure containers, the role of the centrifugal fan is to blow fresh air into the container to maintain a positive pressure state. This helps prevent harmful substances from entering the test container from the external environment, thus ensuring the purity and stability of the experimental environment.

In contrast, in negative pressure containers, the role of the centrifugal fan is to exhaust the air inside the container to the external environment to maintain a negative pressure state. This helps prevent harmful substances from leaking from the test container into the external environment, ensuring the safety of operators and the reliability of the experiment.

To maintain the pressure stability inside the positive pressure and negative pressure containers, they usually need to be equipped with some auxiliary facilities such as pressure controllers, flow meters, pressure switches, etc. These facilities can monitor pressure changes inside the container and adjust the speed and air flow of the centrifugal fan to maintain a positive or negative pressure state. In addition, positive pressure and negative pressure containers also need to be equipped with safety facilities such as sealed doors and explosion-proof devices to ensure the safety and stability of the experimental environment.

In summary, centrifugal fans play a very important role in positive pressure and negative pressure containers, which can maintain a stable air pressure inside the containers, providing a reliable environment for experiments. Besides, positive pressure and negative pressure containers need to be equipped with other auxiliary facilities to ensure the safety and stability of the experimental environment.

Fire is one of the greatest hazards aboard a ship, and it is essential to have measures in place to prevent its spread. Fire dampers are an important safety device that can help contain a fire and prevent it from spreading throughout a pressurized shipping container. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why fire dampers are essential for pressurized shipping containers, and provide guidance on how to use them effectively.

Why are fire dampers important in pressurized shipping containers?
Pressurized shipping containers are designed to maintain a controlled atmosphere, which can increase the risk of fire spreading rapidly. In the event of a fire, the positive pressure in the container can cause the fire to spread more quickly, making it difficult to control. Fire dampers are designed to restrict the flow of air in the ventilation systems of these containers, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. By doing so, they protect the cargo and crew members, as well as the vessel itself.

How do fire dampers work in pressurized shipping containers?
Fire dampers work by restricting the flow of air in the ventilation system of a pressurized container. In the event of a fire, the damper automatically closes, preventing the spread of smoke and flames through the ventilation system. This containment can buy time for the crew to respond to the fire and take appropriate action.

What are the best practices for using fire dampers in pressurized shipping containers?
To ensure that fire dampers work effectively, they should be properly installed, tested, and maintained. The installation of fire dampers should be carried out by trained professionals, and they should be installed in accordance with relevant regulations and guidelines.
In addition to installation, regular testing and maintenance are essential to ensure that the fire dampers are working as intended. This should be carried out by trained personnel in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and relevant regulations.
Crew members should also be trained on the use of fire dampers and what to do in the event of a fire. Regular drills and training sessions can help crew members become more familiar with the equipment and respond more effectively to emergencies.

Conclusion
Fire dampers are an essential safety device in pressurized shipping containers. By restricting the flow of air in the ventilation system, fire dampers can help contain a fire and prevent its spread. However, to ensure their effectiveness, fire dampers must be properly installed, tested, and maintained. Crew members should also be trained on their use, and regular drills and training sessions can help improve response times in the event of an emergency. By following these best practices, shipping operations can be made safer and more efficient.
