Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ship engineering, and in particular relates to a method for installing a sacrificial anode in a seawater pipe of a ship. Background Art

[0002] At present, sacrificial anodes are installed in seawater doors in ship seawater systems. Sacrificial anodes are used to prevent the hull structure and outer plate where the seawater door is located from being corroded by seawater, and can play a good anti-corrosion role. However, sacrificial anodes are often installed on hull structures such as seawater doors and seawater tanks. The sacrificial anodes can only be replaced when the ship is docked for maintenance.

[0003] At present, sacrificial anodes are also installed in the seawater pipes of some passenger ships. Seawater pipes are generally copper-nickel pipes. After the pipes are corroded, they can only be replaced as a whole, which is very expensive and requires a lot of manpower to replace the entire seawater pipe. In addition, if the corrosion of the pipes is not handled in time, seawater will leak into the engine room, causing the equipment in the engine room to be corroded and contaminated by seawater. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention provides a method for installing sacrificial anodes in seawater pipes of ships. The sacrificial anodes are installed in the seawater pipelines to increase the anti-corrosion performance of the seawater pipes in the engine room of the ship.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0006] A method for installing a sacrificial anode in a seawater pipe of a ship comprises the following steps:

[0007] 1) Select a section of detachable seawater pipe, disassemble the seawater pipe, and add copper gaskets to the flanges at both ends of the seawater pipe; wherein the copper gasket includes a circular ring and a boss arranged on the inner side of the circular ring; the circular ring of the copper gasket is provided with a plurality of first through holes, and the boss is provided with a second through hole;

[0008] 2) installing the sacrificial anode in the seawater pipe using a flat iron frame to obtain a seawater pipe with the sacrificial anode installed;

[0009] 3) The seawater pipe equipped with the sacrificial anode obtained in step 2) is reinstalled in the seawater cooling system.

[0010] In the present invention, the circular ring and boss structure in the copper gasket form a bayonet structure, which is used to fix the seawater pipe and the flat iron frame together through the copper gasket.

[0011] As an optional implementation, the boss and the ring are integrally formed.

[0012] As an optional implementation, the length of the boss is smaller than the inner diameter of the ring.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the centers of the multiple first through holes are located on the circumference of the concentric circles of the circular ring, and the multiple first through holes are evenly distributed on the circular ring.

[0014] In the present invention, the plurality of first through holes are used to fixedly connect the copper gasket to the seawater pipe through the first through holes.

[0015] As an optional implementation, the radius of the second through hole is smaller than the radius of the first through hole.

[0016] As an optional implementation, the center of the second through hole, the center of the first through hole of the circular ring that is closest to the second through hole, and the center of the circular ring are on the same straight line.

[0017] In the present invention, the technical feature that the center of the second through hole, the center of the first through hole of the circular ring closest to the second through hole and the center of the circular ring are on the same straight line can ensure that the fixation of the seawater pipe, the copper gasket and the flat iron frame is more coordinated and stable.

[0018] As an optional embodiment, the flat iron frame has an L-shaped structure, and a second through hole is opened at the short end of the flat iron frame for fixedly connecting the flat iron frame and the copper gasket through the second through hole of the flat iron frame and the second through hole on the boss of the copper gasket.

[0019] As an optional implementation manner, a third through hole is opened at the long end of the flat iron frame, which is used to fix the flat iron frame and the sacrificial anode through the third through hole.

[0020] As an optional implementation, the sacrificial anode is fixed on an iron foot, and third through holes are formed at both ends of the iron foot.

[0021] As an optional implementation, the copper gasket is fixedly connected to the flat iron frame by using bolts and nuts.

[0022] As an optional implementation, bolts and nuts are used to fix the flat iron bracket to the sacrificial anode.

[0023] As an optional implementation, the material of the copper gasket includes red copper.

[0024] As an optional implementation, the sacrificial anode adopts a standard part of a conventional sacrificial anode in the art, for example, a standard part of an aluminum-zinc-indium alloy sacrificial anode is selected according to the national standard GB / T 4948-2002.

[0025] As an optional implementation, the seawater pipe comprises a seawater pipe in a seawater cooling system pipeline.

[0026] As an optional implementation, an observation port is provided at the location where the sacrificial anode is installed, so as to understand the actual situation of the sacrificial anode in the seawater pipe in real time.

[0027] In the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined to form a new technical solution without conflicting with each other.

[0028] The beneficial effects brought by the present invention are as follows:

[0029] (1) The method for installing sacrificial anodes in a seawater pipe of a ship provided by the present invention adopts the method of installing sacrificial anodes in a detachable seawater pipe. Since the material of the sacrificial anodes is different from that of the seawater pipe, there is a potential difference between the two. The seawater first corrodes the sacrificial anodes in the pipe, which greatly improves the anti-corrosion ability of the seawater pipe.

[0030] (2) The method for installing sacrificial anodes in a seawater pipe of a ship provided by the present invention adopts conventional sacrificial anodes in the art, and the sacrificial anodes can be easily replaced by simply removing the seawater pipe on which the sacrificial anodes are installed;

[0031] (3) In the present invention, when the sacrificial anode is corroded, only the sacrificial anode standard parts in the seawater pipe need to be replaced, which is much more convenient than replacing the seawater pipe made of copper-nickel tube in the prior art, and the price is also cheaper and the cost is lower;

[0032] (4) By adopting the method of the present invention, the sacrificial anode can be replaced without entering the dock;

[0033] (5) According to the method of the present invention, an observation port is provided at the location where the sacrificial anode is installed, so that the timing of replacing the sacrificial anode with a new one can be intuitively selected according to the actual situation of the sacrificial anode.
