Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engines, and specifically refers to an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system and method applicable to extremely cold environments. Background Art

[0002] In extremely cold environments, the start-up and operation of engines face severe challenges. Due to the increased viscosity and poor fluidity of fuel under low-temperature conditions, as well as the property of diesel being prone to waxing, traditional engine preheating and fuel supply methods often struggle to meet the requirements. In addition, although using low-grade diesel in extremely cold regions can improve the low-temperature fluidity of fuel, it is costly, and incomplete combustion will reduce the engine efficiency. Therefore, how to provide an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system and method applicable to extremely cold environments has become an urgent technical problem to be solved currently.

[0003] Most existing engine preheating systems use methods such as electric heating or flame spraying to preheat the coolant or fuel, but these methods have problems such as high energy consumption, uneven preheating, and low heating efficiency. At the same time, traditional fuel supply systems usually only have one fuel tank, and whether using regular diesel or low-grade diesel, they cannot balance cost-effectiveness and engine performance. Especially in extremely cold regions, using regular diesel can easily lead to difficult engine start-up, while using low-grade diesel is costly, and fuel combustion is incomplete at low temperatures, further reducing the engine efficiency.

[0004] In addition, existing fuel tank designs often do not consider the problem of diesel waxing. Under low-temperature conditions, diesel is prone to waxing at the bottom of the fuel tank, making it difficult for the fuel pump to suck in the waxed diesel at the bottom, thus affecting the normal start-up and operation of the engine. This problem is particularly prominent in extremely cold regions, posing a great risk to the stable operation of the engine.

[0005] In summary, existing engine preheating and fuel supply systems have many technical defects in extremely cold environments and cannot meet the start-up and operation requirements of engines under low-temperature conditions. Therefore, the present invention aims to overcome the above technical defects and provide an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system and method applicable to extremely cold environments to solve problems such as difficult engine start-up at low temperatures, high fuel costs, and diesel waxing in extremely cold regions.

[0043] In order to make the content of the present invention easier to be clearly understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] Refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 10 , the present invention provides an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system applicable to extremely cold environments, including: an engine 1, the cylinder block of which is provided with a coolant chamber and a fuel chamber; a coolant heater 2, which is connected to the coolant chamber through a circulating waterway 6 and is used to heat the coolant in the coolant chamber; a fuel tank 3, which is divided into a main oil chamber 31 and a secondary oil chamber 32. Among them, the main oil chamber 31 stores regular diesel, accounting for 9 / 10 of the total volume of the fuel tank 3, while the secondary oil chamber 32 stores low-grade diesel, only accounting for 1 / 10 of the total volume of the fuel tank 3. Such a configuration significantly reduces the oil storage cost; a fuel heater 4, which is arranged inside the main oil chamber 31, includes a heater main body 41. Inside the heater main body 41, there is a circulating chamber that is circulated and connected to the coolant chamber and an oil valve 42 that is circulated and connected to the fuel chamber. Below the heater main body 41, there are a heating element 43 and a main oil chamber oil suction element 44. Among them, the heating element 43 is connected to the circulating chamber and is used to receive the coolant heated by the coolant chamber and heat the regular diesel in the main oil chamber 31. The main oil chamber oil suction element 44 is used to pump the regular diesel in the main oil chamber 31 into the oil valve 42; a secondary oil chamber oil suction element 5, which is arranged inside the secondary oil chamber 32, is connected to the oil valve 42 and pumps the low-grade diesel in the secondary oil chamber 32 into the oil valve 42. The oil valve 42 is connected to the fuel chamber, and the oil valve 42 switches the working modes of the secondary oil chamber oil suction element 5 and the main oil chamber oil suction element 44 through a driving motor 421 arranged outside it.

[0045] In order to heat the coolant more efficiently, the coolant heater 2 internally includes a heating tank main body 21, inside which there is a heating chamber. The heating tank main body 21 is equipped with a water pump 22. The water pump 22 pumps water from the coolant chamber through a water pipe, and after being heated by the heating chamber, it returns to the coolant chamber through a circulating pipe 61, forming a closed-loop heating system.

[0046] In one embodiment, in order to further improve the heating efficiency and fuel utilization rate of the system, a heater oil suction pipe 55 is added below the oil suction main body 51 in this embodiment. The oil suction pipe is connected to the fuel pipe 8 through a heater oil suction port 56, and directly transports the low-grade diesel to the fuel port 211 of the heating tank main body 21 for heating. In order to control the fuel supply amount, an oil pump 81 is arranged on the fuel pipe 8, and the fuel flow can be adjusted according to needs.

[0047] Meanwhile, to monitor the fuel levels in the main oil chamber 31 and the auxiliary oil chamber 32 in real time, in this embodiment, a first liquid level sensor 9 is provided below the oil suction element 44 of the main oil chamber, and a second liquid level sensor 10 is provided below the oil suction element 5 of the auxiliary oil chamber. Both the first liquid level sensor 9 and the second liquid level sensor 10 adopt a float type design and can float up and down as the fuel level rises and falls, thereby accurately reflecting the fuel quantity in the fuel tank 3. Through the real-time monitoring of the first liquid level sensor 9 and the second liquid level sensor 10, it is possible to ensure the timely replenishment of fuel and avoid the situation of fuel exhaustion;

[0048] The oil valve 42 is provided with a first oil return port 422, a first oil supply port 423, a second oil return port 424, and a second oil supply port 425 side by side. The first oil supply port 423 is connected to the fuel chamber through a first oil supply pipe 71, the first oil return port 422 is connected to the fuel chamber through a first oil return pipe 72, the second oil supply port 425 is connected to the low-grade oil supply port 511 through a second oil supply pipe 73, and the second oil return port 424 is connected to the low-grade oil return port 512 through a second oil return pipe 74. By switching the oil valve 42, it is possible to ensure the use of low-grade diesel during the engine preheating stage and switch to regular diesel during the normal operation stage, thereby meeting the requirements of the engine at different stages.

[0049] To further improve the heating efficiency and fuel utilization rate of the system, in this embodiment, a heater oil suction pipe 55 is added below the oil suction main body 51. The heater oil suction pipe 55 is connected to the fuel pipe 8 through a heater oil suction port 56, and directly transports the low-grade diesel to the fuel port 211 of the heating tank main body 21 for heating. To control the fuel supply amount, a fuel pump 81 is provided on the fuel pipe 8, and the fuel flow can be adjusted as needed.

[0050] To further improve the purity and safety of the fuel, in this embodiment, a primary filter 11 and an oil-water separator 12 are arranged in sequence on the first oil supply pipe 71 along the direction from the first oil supply port 423 to the fuel chamber. The primary filter 11 can further intercept and remove fine particles and impurities in the fuel, while the oil-water separator 12 can effectively separate the water in the fuel and prevent the water from damaging the engine. The addition of these two devices makes the fuel supplied to the engine 1 cleaner and safer.

[0051] In one embodiment, the heating element 43 is a spiral heating pipe. This design not only improves the heating efficiency but also makes the heating more uniform, avoiding the occurrence of local overheating or insufficient temperature. At the same time, the spiral heating pipe has a compact structure and small occupied space, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume and weight of the system.

[0052] Furthermore, the heater body 41 is provided with a water inlet 411 and a water outlet 412 that communicate with the circulation chamber. The water inlet 411 and the water outlet 412 are respectively connected to the coolant chamber through a water inlet pipe 413 and a return pipe 414, forming a closed-loop circulation with the coolant chamber. Through the heat exchange between the coolant in the circulation chamber and the heating element 43, the heated heat can be transferred to the regular diesel in the main oil chamber 31, thereby realizing the functions of fuel preheating and anti-waxing. This design not only improves the heating efficiency of the fuel but also reduces energy consumption and costs.

[0053] The present invention also provides an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating method suitable for extremely cold environments, including the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: At low temperatures, open the stop valves provided on the water pipe and the circulation pipe 61 respectively to form a passage for the inlet and outlet of the coolant chamber; pump out the coolant through the water pump 22 on the coolant heater 2, heat it in the heating chamber and then return it to the coolant chamber; at the same time, suck oil from the secondary oil chamber 32 through the oil pump 81, and enter the heating tank body 21 through the fuel port 211 to heat the heating chamber.

[0055] Step 2: After the engine 1 cylinder block is heated, close the stop valve, the coolant heater 2 and the oil pump 81; start the drive motor 421 of the liquid fuel heater 4 to drive the oil valve 42 to rotate and cut off the connection with the main oil chamber 31; at this time, only supply oil through the secondary oil chamber oil suction element 5, and draw low-grade diesel from the secondary suction pipe 52 to the low-grade oil supply port 511, and enter the fuel chamber through the second supply pipe 73, the second supply port 425, the first supply port 423, and the first supply pipe 71 to complete the engine start. The low-grade diesel after starting flows back to the secondary oil chamber 32 through the first return pipe 72, the first return port 422, the second return port 424, and the second return pipe 74.

[0056] Step 3: After the engine 1 starts, open the water pump 22 to pump the heated coolant into the circulation chamber of the heater body 41, enter the spiral heating pipe and transfer heat to the waxed diesel in the main oil chamber 31 through heat exchange. After the waxed diesel melts, it flows back to the fuel chamber to form a closed-loop circuit.

[0057] Step 4: After completing the low-temperature start of the engine and heating the diesel in the main oil chamber, cut off the oil supply of the secondary oil chamber oil suction element 5; after the fuel in the pipeline is consumed, start the drive motor 421 again and open the connection between the main oil chamber oil suction element 44 and the main oil chamber 31; at this time, suck regular diesel through the main suction pipe 441, enter the engine cylinder block fuel chamber through the first supply port 423 and the first supply pipe 71, and the regular diesel in the fuel chamber flows back to the main oil chamber 31 through the first return pipe 72, the first return port 422, and the main return pipe 442; during this period, keep the water inlet 411 and the water outlet 412 outside the heater body 41 in a passage state, continuously heat, keep the temperature constant, and stably supply oil to the engine.

9. The engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system suitable for extremely cold environments according to claim 1, characterized in that: The heater body (41) is provided with a water inlet (411) and a water outlet (412) which are in communication with the circulation chamber. The water inlet (411) and the water outlet (412) are in communication with the cooling liquid chamber via a water inlet pipe (413) and a water return pipe (414) respectively.

10. An engine preheating and fuel circulation heating method suitable for extremely cold environments, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: When the temperature is low, the stop valves respectively arranged on the water pipe and the circulation pipe (61) are opened to form a passage at the water inlet and outlet of the cooling liquid chamber; the cooling liquid is pumped out by the water pump (22) on the cooling liquid heater (2), and the cooling liquid is heated in the heating chamber and then flows back to the cooling liquid chamber; at the same time, the oil is sucked from the auxiliary oil chamber (32) by the oil pump (81), and enters the heating tank body (21) through the fuel port (211) to heat the heating chamber; Step 2: After the cylinder of the engine (1) is heated, the stop valve, the coolant heater (2) and the oil pump (81) are closed; the driving motor (421) of the liquid fuel heater (4) is started to drive the oil valve (42) to rotate so as to cut off the connection with the main oil chamber (31); at this time, oil is supplied only through the auxiliary oil chamber oil suction element (5), and low-grade diesel is pumped from the auxiliary oil suction pipe (52) to the low-grade oil supply port (511), and enters the fuel chamber through the second oil supply pipe (73), the second oil supply port (425), the first oil supply port (423), and the first oil supply pipe (71), completing the engine start-up. After the start-up, the low-grade diesel flows back to the auxiliary oil chamber (32) through the first oil return pipe (72), the first oil return port (422), the second oil return port (424), and the second oil return pipe (74); Step 3: After the engine (1) is started, the water pump (22) is turned on to pump the heated coolant into the circulation chamber of the heater body (41), and then into the spiral heating tube to be transferred to the waxed diesel in the main oil chamber (31) through heat exchange. The waxed diesel melts and flows back to the fuel chamber, forming a closed loop. Step 4: After the low-temperature start-up of the engine and the heating of the diesel in the main oil chamber are completed, the oil supply of the auxiliary oil chamber oil suction element (5) is cut off; after the fuel in the pipeline is consumed, the drive motor (421) is started again, and the connection between the main oil chamber oil suction element (44) and the main oil chamber (31) is opened; at this time, conventional diesel is sucked through the main oil suction pipe (441) and enters the fuel chamber through the first oil supply port (423) and the first oil supply pipe (71), and the conventional diesel in the fuel chamber flows back to the main oil chamber (31) through the first oil return pipe (72), the first oil return port (422), and the main oil return pipe (442); during this period, the water inlet (411) and the water outlet (412) outside the heater body (41) are kept in the passage state, heating is continued, a constant temperature is maintained, and the engine (1) is stably supplied with oil.
