Description

[0002] The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system can treat particulate matter and NOx in the exhaust gas of ships, thereby effectively reducing the impact on the environment. In the related art, the SCR system includes a low-pressure SCR system and a high-pressure SCR system. The main difference between the low-pressure SCR system and the high-pressure SCR system lies in the installation position of the SCR reactor. In the low-pressure SCR system, the temperature of the exhaust gas entering the reactor is relatively low. Therefore, the low-pressure SCR system needs to be provided with a supplementary combustor to increase the temperature to ensure the treatment effect of the exhaust gas.

[0003] In the prior art, for the fuel supply in the low-pressure SCR system, a corresponding daily-use cabinet and a driving pump need to be separately equipped for the supplementary combustor for fuel supply, which occupies a large space. However, the space on the ship is small, which greatly reduces the space utilization rate on the ship, and the separate provision of the daily-use cabinet and the driving pump increases the manufacturing cost of the ship.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to invent a fuel power module and a low-pressure SCR system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0010] An incinerator, a supplementary combustor, a combined oil supply cabinet, and a conveying pipeline;

[0011] The input ends of the fuel storage tank, the driving pump, and the combined oil supply cabinet are sequentially connected in series through the conveying pipeline, and the output end of the combined oil supply cabinet connects the incinerator and the supplementary combustor in parallel through the conveying pipeline;

[0012] The combined fuel supply tank can separately supply fuel to the incinerator and the afterburner. The incinerator is used for incinerating garbage, and the afterburner is used to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas.

[0013] As an alternative, the conveying pipeline includes:

[0014] A first conveying section having two first connection ends, and the two first connection ends are respectively communicated with the fuel storage tank and the input end of the driving pump;

[0015] A second conveying section having two second connection ends, and the two second connection ends are respectively communicated with the output end of the driving pump and the input end of the combined fuel supply tank; and

[0016] A third conveying section having three third connection ends, and the three third connection ends are respectively communicated with the output end of the combined fuel supply tank, the input end of the incinerator, and the input end of the afterburner.

[0017] As an alternative, a first valve is provided on the first conveying section, and the first valve is used to control the conduction and cut-off between the fuel storage tank and the first conveying section.

[0018] As an alternative, a second valve is further provided on the first conveying section, and the second valve is used to control the conduction and cut-off between the first conveying section and the driving pump.

[0019] As an alternative, both the first valve and the second valve are quick closing valves.

[0020] As an alternative, the fuel power module further includes:

[0021] A pressure gauge installed on the conveying pipeline, and the pressure gauge is used to detect the fuel pressure in the conveying pipeline.

[0022] As an alternative, the fuel power module further includes:

[0023] A flow meter installed on the conveying pipeline, and the flow meter is used to detect the fuel flow in the conveying pipeline.

[0024] As an alternative, the vertical heights of the combined fuel supply tank, the incinerator, and the fuel storage tank decrease in sequence, and the vertical height of the afterburner is the same as that of the incinerator.

[0025] As an alternative, the fuel power module further includes:

[0026] A liquid level detection component is provided at the combined fuel supply tank. The liquid level detection component is used to detect the liquid level height of the fuel in the combined fuel supply tank. The fuel power module further includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the liquid level detection component and the driving pump respectively. The controller can control the start and stop of the driving pump.

[0027] A low-pressure SCR system includes a reaction module, a mixing module, and the fuel power module as described above. The fuel power module can provide power for the mixing module. The mixing module is used to heat the mixed exhaust gas and reductant. The mixing module is located at the front end of the reaction module.

By making the fuel storage tank the feeding source of the existing power supply system of the ship and the driving pump the emergency standby pump of the existing power supply system of the ship, the existing structure of the ship is fully utilized, unnecessary configurations are reduced. It can not only optimize the ship structure, save space, improve the space utilization rate of the ship, but also reduce the manufacturing cost of the ship. By using the combined fuel supply tank to separately supply fuel to the incinerator and the afterburner respectively, compared with separately equipping a daily use tank for the incinerator and the afterburner in the prior art, unnecessary configurations within the ship can be further reduced. In addition, the rated flow rate of the emergency standby pump of the existing power supply system of the ship is usually small, that is, the rated flow rate of the driving pump is usually small. When the driving pump drives the fuel from the fuel storage tank to the combined fuel supply tank, slow and stable delivery of the fuel can be achieved.

[0030] The present invention also provides a low-pressure SCR system. By applying the above fuel power module, it can not only optimize the ship structure, save space, improve the space utilization rate of the ship, but also reduce the manufacturing cost of the ship.

Detailed implementation manners

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, rather than all structures.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0038] The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system can treat particulate matter and NOx in the exhaust gas emitted by ships, thereby effectively reducing the impact on the environment. In related technologies, the SCR system includes a low-pressure SCR system and a high-pressure SCR system. The main difference between the low-pressure SCR system and the high-pressure SCR system lies in the installation position of the SCR reactor. In the low-pressure SCR system, the temperature of the exhaust gas entering the reactor is relatively low. Therefore, a supplementary combustor needs to be set up in the low-pressure SCR system to increase the temperature to ensure the treatment effect of the exhaust gas.

[0039] In the prior art, for the fuel supply in the low-pressure SCR system, a corresponding daily-use tank and a driving pump need to be separately equipped for the supplementary combustor for fuel supply, which occupies a large space. However, the space on the ship is small, greatly reducing the space utilization rate on the ship. Moreover, the separate equipped daily-use tank and driving pump increase the manufacturing cost of the ship.

[0040] To solve the above problems, as Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a fuel power module. The fuel power module includes a fuel storage tank 100, an incinerator 200, a supplementary combustor 300, a combined fuel supply tank 400, a conveying pipeline 500, and a driving pump 600. Among them, the fuel storage tank 100 is used to store fuel. The fuel storage tank 100 is the fuel supply source of the existing power supply system of the ship. The driving pump 600 is the emergency standby pump of the existing power supply system of the ship. The input ends of the fuel storage tank 100, the driving pump 600, and the combined fuel supply tank 400 are connected in series in sequence through the conveying pipeline 500. The output end of the combined fuel supply tank 400 connects the incinerator 200 and the supplementary combustor 300 in parallel through the conveying pipeline 500. The combined fuel supply tank 400 can separately supply fuel to the incinerator 200 and the supplementary combustor 300. The incinerator 200 is used to incinerate garbage, and the supplementary combustor 300 is used to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas.

[0041] The fuel power module connects the fuel storage tank 100, the driving pump 600, and the input end of the combined oil supply tank 400 in series in turn by using the conveying pipeline 500, and connects the incinerator 200 and the afterburner 300 in parallel with the output end of the combined oil supply tank 400 by using the conveying pipeline 500, ensuring that the combined oil supply tank 400 can separately supply fuel to the incinerator 200 and the afterburner 300 through the conveying pipeline 500, realizing the conveyance of fuel among the fuel storage tank 100, the incinerator 200, and the afterburner 300. By making the fuel storage tank 100 the feeding source of the existing power supply system of the ship and the driving pump 600 the emergency standby pump of the existing power supply system of the ship, the existing structure of the ship is fully utilized, unnecessary configurations are reduced, not only can the ship structure be optimized, space be saved, and the space utilization rate of the ship be improved, but also the manufacturing cost of the ship can be reduced. By using the combined oil supply tank 400 to separately supply fuel to the incinerator 200 and the afterburner 300 respectively, compared with the prior art of separately equipping a daily use tank for the incinerator 200 and the afterburner 300 respectively, unnecessary configurations within the ship can be further reduced. In addition, the rated flow rate of the emergency standby pump of the existing power supply system of the ship is usually small, that is, the rated flow rate of the driving pump 600 is usually small. When the driving pump 600 drives the fuel to be conveyed from the fuel storage tank 100 to the combined oil supply tank 400, slow and stable conveyance of the fuel can be achieved.

[0042] Specifically, the vertical heights of the combined oil supply tank 400, the incinerator 200, and the fuel storage tank 100 decrease in turn, and the vertical height of the afterburner 300 is the same as that of the incinerator 200. By making the vertical heights of the combined oil supply tank 400, the incinerator 200, and the fuel storage tank 100 decrease in turn and ensuring that the vertical height of the incinerator 200 is the same as that of the afterburner 300, after the fuel is conveyed from the fuel storage tank 100 to the combined oil supply tank 400, the fuel can be conveyed to the incinerator 200 and the afterburner 300 by using the gravity of the fuel itself, improving the controllability during the process of conveying the fuel.

[0043] In this embodiment, the conveying pipeline 500 includes a first conveying section, a second conveying section, and a third conveying section. Among them, the first conveying section has two first connection ends, and the two first connection ends are respectively connected to the fuel storage tank 100 and the input end of the driving pump 600. The second conveying section has two second connection ends, and the two second connection ends are respectively connected to the output end of the driving pump 600 and the input end of the combined fuel supply tank 400. The third conveying section has three third connection ends, and the three third connection ends are respectively connected to the output end of the combined fuel supply tank 400, the input end of the incinerator 200, and the input end of the afterburner 300. By splitting the conveying pipeline 500 into the first conveying section, the second conveying section, and the third conveying section, using the first conveying section to connect the fuel storage tank 100 and the input end of the driving pump 600, the second conveying section to connect the output end of the driving pump 600 and the input end of the combined fuel supply tank 400, and the third conveying section to connect the output end of the combined fuel supply tank 400, the input end of the incinerator 200, and the output end of the afterburner 300, the rapid assembly and disassembly of the fuel power module can be achieved, and the maintenance and repair efficiency of the fuel power module can be improved subsequently.

[0044] As an optional solution, a first valve 510 is provided on the first conveying section. The first valve 510 is used to control the conduction and interruption between the fuel storage tank 100 and the first conveying section. By using the first valve 510 to control the conduction and interruption between the fuel storage tank 100 and the first conveying section, when the fuel storage tank 100 leaks or the cabin catches fire, the first valve 510 can be closed to cut off the fuel delivery between the fuel storage tank 100 and the driving pump 600, improving safety.

[0045] In addition, a second valve 520 is also provided on the first conveying section. The second valve 520 is used to control the conduction and interruption between the first conveying section and the driving pump 600. On the basis that the first valve 510 cuts off the connection between the fuel storage tank 100 and the first conveying section, using the second valve 520 to cut off the connection between the first conveying section and the input end of the driving pump 600 can further improve the safety of the fuel power module.

[0046] To improve the switching efficiency of the first valve 510 and the second valve 520, both the first valve 510 and the second valve 520 are quick-closing valves.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the second connection section is provided with a third valve 530 for controlling the conduction and blockage between the output end of the driving pump 600 and the second connection section, and a fourth valve 540 for controlling the conduction and blockage between the second connection section and the input end of the combined fuel supply tank 400. The third connection section is provided with a fifth valve 550 for controlling the conduction and blockage between the output end of the combined fuel supply tank 400 and the third connection section, a sixth valve 560 for controlling the conduction and blockage between the third connection section and the input end of the incinerator 200, and a seventh valve 570 for controlling the conduction and blockage between the third connection section and the input end of the afterburner 300. The third valve 530, the fourth valve 540, the fifth valve 550, the sixth valve 560, and the seventh valve 570 are all quick closing valves.

[0048] As an alternative solution, the fuel power module further includes a flow meter 800. The flow meter 800 is installed on the first connection section and is used to detect the fuel flow rate in the first connection section. By providing the flow meter 800 on the first connection section, accurate measurement of the volume of fuel transported from the fuel storage tank 100 can be achieved, facilitating subsequent determination of whether there is fuel leakage in the fuel power module based on the fuel transport volume. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the flow meter 800 can also be provided on the second connection section, on the third connection section, or simultaneously on the first connection section, the second connection section, and the third connection section. This embodiment does not make specific limitations. The specific structure and working principle of the flow meter 800 both belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, the fuel power module further includes a pressure gauge 700. The pressure gauge 700 is installed on the second connection section and is used to detect the fuel pressure in the second connection section. By providing the pressure gauge 700 on the second connection section, accurate detection of the fuel pressure in the second connection section can be achieved, further improving the safety of fuel transportation. In other embodiments, the pressure gauge 700 can also be provided on the first connection section, on the third connection section, or simultaneously on the first connection section, the second connection section, and the third connection section. This embodiment does not make specific limitations. The specific structure and working principle of the pressure gauge 700 both belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0050] In some embodiments, the fuel power module further includes a liquid level detector (not shown in the figure), which is disposed at the combined fuel supply tank 400 and is used to detect the liquid level height of the fuel in the combined fuel supply tank 400. The fuel power module further includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the liquid level detector and the driving pump 600 respectively. The controller is capable of controlling the start and stop of the driving pump 600. By providing the liquid level detector to detect the liquid level height of the fuel in the combined fuel supply tank 400 to determine whether the fuel in the combined fuel supply tank 400 is full, when the fuel in the combined fuel supply tank 400 is full, the liquid level detector transmits the detection information to the controller, and the controller controls the driving pump 600 to stop working according to the detection information of the liquid level detector. When the liquid level detector detects that the liquid level height of the fuel in the combined fuel supply tank 400 is lower than the set preset height, the liquid level detector transmits the detection information to the controller, and the controller controls the driving pump 600 to start to replenish fuel into the combined fuel supply tank 400. It should be noted that the specific structures and working principles of the liquid level detector and the controller both belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.
