SUMMARY

In the low-temperature season, the opening degree of the balancing air duct is manually adjusted to accurately control the room positive pressure, prevent excessive entry of external air, reduce heat loss, and further reduce energy consumption. The whole system has no complex electric control structure, and reliable effects are achieved in a simple and practical mechanical mode.

[0007] In addition, the ventilation system serving the air lubrication system of the ship according to the above-mentioned present application further has the following additional technical features: According to one embodiment of the present application, the mechanical air supply device comprises two air supply air ducts, two air supply fans and fourteen air supply outlets; the air supply outlets are arranged above the cooling air inlets of the ALS air compressor and avoid being directly above the electrical elements, and the room positive pressure serves as the external power for the air suction of the air compressor.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present application, the balance ventilation duct is provided with an adjustable device, the opening of the balance ventilation duct is changed by manually adjusting the adjustable device when the outdoor temperature is lower in the low-temperature season, so as to adjust the ventilation amount and maintain the micro-positive pressure state of the ship room; and the indicating rod of the balance ventilation duct is provided with a scale mark.

[0017] To achieve the above object, the present application further provides a ventilation method for serving an air lubrication system of a ship.

[0018] A ventilation method for serving an air lubrication system of a ship, comprising the following steps: S1: air supply mode selection: according to the change of ambient temperature, two air supply fans are switched between full-speed air supply mode and reduced-speed air supply mode; S11, full-speed air supply mode: the air supply amount is calculated according to the heat removal amount of the ALS air compressor, the heat transfer amount of the maintenance structure, the heat removal amount of other electrical equipment and the air consumption amount of the ALS air compressor under the condition that the room temperature is maintained at 45 DEG C in summer; external air enters from two air supply ventilation cylinders, sequentially passes through the air supply pipe, is pressurized by the air supply fan, and is sent out through fourteen air supply ports; the air supply ports are arranged above the cooling air inlet of the ALS air compressor and avoid being directly above the electrical elements, so as to provide cooling air for the ALS air compressor and ensure the suction of air, and the room is under positive pressure as the external power for the suction of the air compressor; S12, reduced-speed air supply mode: the air supply amount is calculated according to the temperature rise of 32 DEG C of the upper deck under the sun irradiation in low-temperature seasons, without considering the heat transfer amount of the maintenance structure, the heat removal amount of the ALS air compressor and the heat removal amount of other electrical equipment under the condition that the room temperature is maintained at 45 DEG C; external air still enters from two air supply ventilation cylinders, is transported by the air supply fan in the reduced-speed mode through the air supply pipe, and is provided for the ALS air compressor through fourteen air supply ports; S2: air exhaust mode selection: two air exhaust fans are switched between full-speed air exhaust mode and reduced-speed air exhaust mode; S21, full-speed air supply mode: the air exhaust amount is 80% of the air supply amount; hot air generated by the ALS air compressor enters from twelve air exhaust ports, is extracted by the air exhaust fan through the air supply pipe, and is finally exhausted from two air exhaust ventilation cylinders, so as to quickly exhaust the hot air out of the ship room; S22, reduced-speed air supply mode: the reduced-speed air exhaust amount is 80% of the air exhaust amount; hot air of the ALS air compressor enters from twelve air exhaust ports, is extracted by the air exhaust fan in the reduced-speed mode through the air supply pipe, and is exhausted from two air exhaust ventilation cylinders; S3: balance ventilation cylinder adjustment: the balance ventilation cylinder and the balance air port in the air volume balance device play an auxiliary adjustment role; the size of the balance ventilation cylinder is matched according to the difference between the air supply amount and the air exhaust amount, so as to ensure that the room pressure is stably maintained in a proper range of micro-positive pressure.

[0019] This technical solution achieves a balance between precise air supply and energy saving by flexibly switching the air supply mode according to changes in ambient temperature. In high temperatures such as summer, the full-speed air supply mode is adopted, and the air supply volume is calculated based on the removal of various types of heat and the air consumption of the air compressor to ensure heat dissipation and normal operation of the equipment. In low-temperature seasons, the air supply mode is switched to the reduced-speed air supply mode to reduce the air supply volume and thus reduce energy consumption. At the same time, by switching the exhaust mode to match the air supply mode, the exhaust volume is 80% of the supply volume when the air is supplied at full speed, and the hot air is discharged in time. The exhaust volume is adjusted when the air is supplied at reduced speed to avoid excessive exhaust. In addition, the room pressure is adjusted by using a balancing ventilator, and its size is matched according to the difference between the supply and exhaust volumes to maintain a suitable micro-positive pressure. In this way, the air supply and exhaust modes cooperate with each other, and the auxiliary adjustment of the balancing ventilator can not only meet the ventilation needs of the ship's air lubrication system in different environments, ensure the stable operation of equipment such as the ALS air compressor, but also achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction, and improve the overall efficiency and adaptability of the ventilation system.
