A method for preventing the corrosion of the exhaust muffler of the main engine of the ship from being corroded by seawater

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preventing the exhaust muffler of a ship's main engine from being corroded by seawater. The muffler is connected with the exhaust pipeline of the ship's main engine, and the cooling water channel on the muffler is connected with a closed-loop fresh water pipeline. The closed-loop The fresh water pipeline exchanges heat with the seawater pipeline through a plate heat exchanger. The method adopted in the present invention adopts the mode of cooling the muffler with fresh water, so as to avoid internal leakage of the muffler due to seawater corrosion, salting out of seawater, and blockage of the exhaust channel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preventing the exhaust muffler of a ship's main engine from being corroded by seawater, and is suitable for the occasion where the exhaust muffler of a ship's main engine is cooled by water cooling. Background technique [0002] The ship's main engine is the heart of the ship, providing power for the entire ship. The main engine will generate high noise when it is working, mainly including intake noise, exhaust noise, combustion noise and mechanical noise, among which the exhaust noise of the main engine is the most prominent, mainly composed of low-frequency noise and harmonic high-frequency noise. The noise is as high as 135 decibels. It will cause great harm to the concealment of the ship in wartime and the health of the engineers and the environment of the ship. In order to reduce the exhaust noise and solve a series of problems caused by the noise, the exhaust muffler is usually designed and installed at the...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the strong corrosion of seawater, ships that have been sailing along the coast for a long time generally have the problem of internal seawater leakage due to corrosion. Problems such as decline, seriously affect the performance and service life of the main engine of the ship

According to the survey, after 2 to 3 years of operation, internal seawater leakage and muffler blockage commonly occur in ships sailing along the coast, which lead to a series of problems such as high temperature of the main engine, reduction of oil pressure, and power drop, which seriously affect the reliability of the main power plant of the ship. sex

However, due to the limitation of the internal space and structure of the exhaust muffler of the main engine, it is impossible to carry out welding repairs. We can only open the inspection hole of the muffler, cut the muffler tube, manually clean the sea salt blocked inside, and replace it when it enters the factory for overhaul.
