Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship exhaust monitoring, and in particular to a method for testing a localized emission factor of an operating ship. Background Art

[0002] Ship exhaust emissions have become one of the major sources of air pollution. Reducing exhaust emissions from operating ships is a research focus of the shipping industry. In the statistical accounting of ship emissions, the emission factor is an important reference quantity.

[0003] The emission factors used in the current ship emission accounting process are default values, but the emission factors will change due to the engine load and the navigation environment of the ship, and are not fixed values. Using fixed emission factors will affect the accuracy of ship emission accounting. At the same time, the current emission factor data is outdated and the update is delayed, and most of them use foreign recommended values ​​as reference. The emission factors used in the emission accounting of domestic operating ships lack actual testing, and the localized emission factors are seriously missing. Taking the reference emission factor of marine diesel as an example, the emission factors used by the International Maritime Organization from 2014 to the present have not been revised. There are many sources for parameters such as the calorific value, carbon content per unit calorific value, and oxidation rate of the same fuel. There are differences in the technical level of domestic and foreign ship fuels and engines. It is necessary to study localized emission factors that can objectively reflect the production technology level of my country and are representative of time and region, and establish a domestic ship localized emission factor database. In the test process of the localized emission factors of operating ships, the parameters affecting the emission factors are variable and complex. In order to make the measured localized emission factors more accurate, a corresponding test system needs to be built. Therefore, a test method and system for the localized emission factors of operating ships is required. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the emission factor data currently used for calculating the emissions of operating ships in the above-mentioned prior art are outdated, updated lagging, and mostly use fixed values; the emission factors of domestic operating ship engines lack actual testing, and the localized emission factors are seriously missing. A localized emission factor testing method for operating ships is provided. The localized emission factor testing system for operating ships collects ship operating data and emission data in real time, and then calculates the localized emission factors of operating ships, promotes the refined accounting management of the emission factor database in time and space dimensions, realizes the localization of emission factors of operating ships, continuously improves their accuracy, scientificity and systematicity, and reduces the uncertainty of emission accounting of operating ships.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is:

[0006] A method for testing localized emission factors of operating ships, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Build a localized emission factor test system to ensure that the test system can collect complete ship operating data and emission data in real time:

[0008] The test system includes a speedometer, an ECU, an exhaust gas analyzer, a sampling tube, an operating data acquisition module, an emission data acquisition module, an operating ship operating database, and an operating ship emission database;

[0009] The operating condition data includes the ship speed collected in real time by the speedometer and the engine fuel consumption, engine speed, and engine torque collected in real time by the ECU;

[0010] The emission data includes gas composition and concentration in the engine exhaust pipe measured by the exhaust gas analyzer through a sampling tube to collect gas in the engine exhaust pipe;

[0011] The operating data acquisition module is used to collect the operating data collected by the speedometer and the ECU and send them to the operating data database of the operating ships, and the emission data acquisition module is used to collect the emission data collected by the exhaust gas analyzer and send them to the emission database of the operating ships;

[0017] (2) Fixing and sealing of the measuring point: To avoid the influence of the vibration of the ship's engine room on the sampling tube, the sampling tube needs to be fixed; to avoid the gap between the sampling tube and the engine exhaust pipe affecting the measurement, the gap between the sampling tube and the engine exhaust pipe is sealed with high temperature resistant materials; the sampling tube is sealed and connected to the exhaust gas analyzer;

[0018] (3) Calibration and preheating of the exhaust gas analyzer: In order to ensure the accuracy of exhaust gas measurement, various standard gases are required to calibrate the ranges of various sensors in the exhaust gas analyzer before formal measurement. Before the measurement system is installed, the exhaust gas analyzer is preheated to ensure that the sensors in the instrument can operate stably.

[0019] In the above scheme, the localized emission factors include emission factors based on power, emission factors based on fuel consumption and emission factors based on navigation distance.

[0020] In the above scheme, the calculation methods of the three types of emission factors are as follows:

[0026] EF i D It represents the emission factor of the i-th component in the exhaust gas based on the sailing distance, and V is the sailing speed.

[0027] In the above scheme, the engine power P is calculated by the engine speed and torque:

[0028]

[0029] Where n is the engine speed measured by the ECU, and T is the engine torque measured by the ECU.

[0030] In the above scheme, the exhaust flow rate GF is calculated based on the measured fuel consumption, fuel composition and exhaust concentration:

[0032] Where FC is the fuel consumption, FCC is the carbon content of the fuel, ρ1 is the density of CO2, C1 is the CO2 concentration in the exhaust gas, and C2 is the dry CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0034] The localized emission factor testing method for operating ships of the present invention collects ship operating data and emission data in real time through the localized emission factor testing system for operating ships, and then calculates the localized emission factors of operating ships, promotes the refined accounting management of the emission factor database in time and space dimensions, realizes the localization of emission factors of operating ships, continuously improves its accuracy, scientificity and systematicity, and reduces the uncertainty of emission accounting of operating ships. And this method has the advantages of strong versatility, high accuracy, simple structure and easy installation:
