Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of fuel characteristic testing for internal combustion engines, and more specifically, to a system for accelerating the deterioration of diesel fuel storage conditions and a method for preparing deteriorated diesel fuel. Background Technology
[0002] Compression-ignition internal combustion engines (diesel engines) that run on diesel fuel are widely used in medium and heavy-duty passenger and freight vehicles or off-road construction machinery due to their advantages such as high thermal efficiency, strong power, and durability. However, before diesel fuel is added to diesel vehicles or construction machinery, it needs to undergo a storage and transportation process, and some diesel fuel may undergo this process for a long time. For example, the standby diesel generator sets in nuclear power plants are in a standby state for a long time due to the high reliability of nuclear power units, and the diesel fuel in their tanks is difficult to consume even after many years. As a complex mixture of hydrocarbon organic compounds, even under good storage conditions, with the extension of storage time, the unsaturated bonds in components such as alkenes and alkynes in diesel fuel gradually react with oxidants to undergo oxidation-oligopolymerization reactions, resulting in the continuous generation of various impurities such as gums. Under the influence of different impurities, the viscosity, rheological properties, distillation range, and other physicochemical properties and combustion reaction characteristics of diesel fuel deteriorate, causing the performance of diesel engines that run on this deteriorated diesel fuel to deteriorate in terms of power output and combustion stability.
[0003] When the quality of diesel fuel deteriorates to the point where it is detrimental to the operating condition of a diesel engine, it needs to be replaced. Determining whether long-term stored diesel fuel has become ineffective requires establishing a method for judging when to replace it. Changes in certain physicochemical and combustion characteristics of diesel fuel after deterioration can serve as a basis for judging whether long-term stored diesel fuel has become ineffective. However, diesel engine tests are needed on samples of long-term stored diesel fuel with different degrees of deterioration to calibrate the limits of these physicochemical and combustion characteristics in determining the timing of fuel replacement and to verify the reliability of the method for judging the timing of fuel replacement. Diesel fuel samples with different degrees of deterioration under specific storage conditions are simply diesel fuel samples stored for different durations under specific storage conditions. However, under normal storage conditions, diesel fuel needs to be stored for several years or even decades before it deteriorates to the point where it is detrimental to the combustion condition of a diesel engine. Therefore, simply relying on extending the storage time to prepare diesel fuel samples with different degrees of deterioration requires too much time and cannot meet the requirements of oil performance evaluation technology for diesel fuel sample preparation time.

The catalyst mesh 2 is suitable for accelerating the degradation reaction of diesel fuel. The supply unit 3 is configured to supply oxygen and inert gas into the containment cavity 12 according to a preset delivery pressure and delivery flow rate. Oxygen is suitable for reacting with diesel fuel in an inert gas atmosphere to accelerate the degradation reaction of diesel fuel. Increasing the oxygen content in diesel fuel can accelerate the degradation reaction of diesel fuel. At the same time, combined with the catalyst mesh 2 to accelerate the degradation reaction of diesel fuel, the time for preparing degraded diesel fuel can be shortened.
[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the reactor 1 includes a body 10 and a cover 11.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the receiving cavity 12 is constructed as a column, and a groove 110 is provided on the side of the cover 11 facing the receiving cavity 12, and an exhaust end 16 of the reaction vessel 1 is provided on the other side of the cover 11 away from the receiving cavity 12. The groove 110 is opened radially along the cover 11, and the length of the groove 110 is the same as the inner diameter of the receiving cavity 12, and the width of the groove 110 is the same as the thickness of the support frame 20.
[0062] In one illustrative embodiment, the depth of the groove 110 is the same as the width d of the support frame 20.
[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the support frame 20 is 3mm to 5mm, and the width d of the support frame 20 is 2mm to 4mm.
[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the reactor 1 further includes a sealing gasket 13, which is disposed between the body 10 and the cover 11 to ensure the sealing of the diesel fuel in the containment cavity 12 when a deterioration reaction occurs.
[0065] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a flange portion is formed on the side of the body 10 near the cover 11, extending radially outward along the body 10. A plurality of first through holes are spaced apart on the flange portion. A plurality of second through holes are respectively formed on the cover 11 at positions facing the plurality of first through holes on the flange portion, allowing the fasteners 14 to pass through. The cover 11, the sealing gasket 13, and the body 10 are fixed together by the plurality of fasteners 14, which may be, for example, bolts.
[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system for accelerating the deterioration of diesel fuel storage conditions further includes a gas-liquid separator 8. The inlet of the gas-liquid separator 8 is connected to the exhaust end 16 of the reaction vessel 1. The deteriorated diesel fuel separated by the gas-liquid separation is stored at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 8. After the deteriorated diesel fuel preparation process is completed, the deteriorated diesel fuel stored in the gas-liquid separator 8 is poured into a waste liquid tank, while the oxygen and inert gas separated by the gas-liquid separation are connected to the gas vent 9 through the gas outlet of the gas-liquid separator 8. The gas-liquid separator 8 is suitable for preventing the diesel fuel (especially the light components in the diesel fuel) in the containment chamber 12 from being carried away by the oxygen and inert gas remaining from the deterioration reaction and released into the atmosphere through the gas vent 9, thus polluting the environment.
[0067] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the supply unit 3 includes an oxygen supply mechanism 30, an inert gas supply mechanism 31, and a gas check valve 32. The oxygen supply mechanism 30 is configured to supply oxygen to the receiving cavity 12 at a first supply pressure and a first supply flow rate. The inert gas supply mechanism 31 is configured to supply inert gas to the receiving cavity 12 at a second supply pressure and a second supply flow rate, wherein the second supply pressure is the same as the first supply pressure, and the second supply flow rate is not less than the first supply flow rate. The inlet of the gas check valve 32 is connected to the output ends of the oxygen supply mechanism 30 and the inert gas supply mechanism 31, and the outlet of the gas check valve 32 is connected to the inlet end 15 of the reaction vessel 1 to prevent the backflow of oxygen and inert gas supplied to the receiving cavity 12.
[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the oxygen supply mechanism 30 includes an oxygen source 300, a first pressure reducing valve 301, and a first flow meter 302. The oxygen source 300 is configured to supply oxygen. A first port of the first pressure reducing valve 301 is connected to the outlet of the oxygen source 300, and a second port of the first pressure reducing valve 301 is connected to the inlet of the first flow meter 302. The first pressure reducing valve 301 is adapted to reduce the pressure of the oxygen from the oxygen source 300, so that the oxygen is delivered into the receiving cavity 12 at a first delivery pressure. The first flow meter 302 is adapted to regulate the delivery flow rate of the oxygen delivered to the receiving cavity 12, so that the oxygen is delivered into the receiving cavity 12 at the first delivery flow rate.
[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the inert gas supply mechanism 31 includes an inert gas source 310, a second pressure reducing valve 311, and a second flow meter 312. The inert gas source 310 is configured to provide inert gas. A third port of the second pressure reducing valve 311 is connected to the outlet of the inert gas source 310, and a fourth port of the second pressure reducing valve 311 is connected to the inlet of the second flow meter 312. The second pressure reducing valve 311 is adapted to reduce the pressure of the inert gas from the inert gas source 310, so that the inert gas is delivered into the receiving cavity 12 at a second delivery pressure. The second flow meter 312 is adapted to regulate the delivery flow rate of the inert gas to the receiving cavity 12, so that the inert gas is delivered into the receiving cavity 12 at a second delivery flow rate. The second delivery pressure is the same as the first delivery pressure, and the second delivery flow rate is not less than the first delivery flow rate.
[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the supply unit 3 further includes a three-way connector 33. The first air inlet of the three-way connector 33 is connected to the air outlet of the first flow meter 302, the second air inlet of the three-way connector 33 is connected to the air outlet of the second flow meter 312, and the air outlet of the three-way connector 33 is connected to the air inlet of the gas check valve 32. The three-way connector 33 can combine oxygen and inert gas and deliver them to the receiving cavity 12 of the reactor 1.
[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air inlet 15 of the reactor 1 is located at the bottom of the body 10. Oxygen and inert gas are mixed and transported to the receiving cavity 12 through the air inlet 15. The mixed oxygen and inert gas react with diesel fuel in an oxidation reaction, which is a crucial stage leading to diesel fuel degradation. Adding inert gas simulates the oxidation of diesel fuel in air, and also prevents excessively high oxygen concentrations, improving the safety of the oxidation reaction. Furthermore, adding inert gas to the oxygen pre-disperses the oxygen, increasing its dispersion in the diesel fuel. The dispersed oxygen forms smaller, faster-moving, and more uniformly dispersed oxygen bubbles in the diesel fuel.
[0072] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system for accelerating the deterioration of diesel fuel storage conditions further includes a heating jacket 4 and a temperature controller 5. The heating jacket 4 is fitted over the outside of the body 10 to heat the diesel fuel within the receiving cavity 12 using the body 10. The temperature controller 5 is electrically connected to the heating jacket 4 and is configured to regulate the heating temperature of the heating jacket 4.
[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the diesel fuel in the receiving cavity 12 can be heated by the heating jacket 4 using the body 10, thereby increasing the storage temperature of the diesel fuel.
[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system for accelerating the deterioration of diesel fuel storage conditions further includes a stirrer body 6, a plurality of magnetic blocks, and a magnetic actuator 7. The stirrer body 6 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 12. The plurality of magnetic blocks are mounted at the ends of the stirrer body 6. The magnetic actuator 7 is disposed on the outside of the reactor 1, and the magnetic actuator 7 is configured to change the polarity of its two ends by means of an external power supply. Utilizing the magnetic force between the two ends of the magnetic actuator 7 and the plurality of magnetic blocks, the stirrer body 6 is driven to rotate axially around the receiving cavity 12 to stir the diesel fuel and accelerate its flow.
[0075] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic force between the two ends of the magnetic actuator 7 and multiple magnetic blocks causes the stirring body 6 to overcome gravity and suspend above the bottom of the receiving cavity 12. The magnetic force drives the stirring body 6 to rotate around the axial direction of the receiving cavity 12 to stir the diesel fuel. During the stirring of the diesel fuel, the stirring body 6 can avoid contact with the bottom of the receiving cavity 12, and prevent wear between the stirring body 6 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 12 due to rotation.
[0076] In one illustrative embodiment, each magnetic block comprises an iron block and fluororubber, with the iron block covered and encased in fluororubber. Fluororubber has good corrosion resistance and swelling resistance, and due to its high elasticity, it can cushion the impact when the stirrer body 6 comes into contact with the inner wall of the receiving cavity 12, and also protect the iron block from diesel corrosion.
[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by changing the current of the external power supply device, the magnetic force between the two ends of the magnetic actuator 7 and the multiple magnetic blocks can be changed, thereby adjusting the rotation speed of the stirring body 6.
[0078] According to embodiments of the present invention, the core of the diesel fuel degradation process is the oxidation reaction of unsaturated bonds. Therefore, increasing the oxygen content in diesel fuel can accelerate the degradation reaction. Increasing the temperature of the degradation reaction can also accelerate the process. Under low-temperature conditions (below 100°C), the oxidation rate of unsaturated bonds can be increased by approximately two times for every 10°C increase in temperature. On the other hand, due to the limitations of mass transfer rate and catalytic activity in low-temperature liquid reaction systems, precious metal catalysts (precious metal wire 21) are generally used in gaseous catalytic reaction systems and liquid catalytic reaction systems under medium-high temperature conditions (above 150°C), but are almost never used in liquid catalytic reaction systems below 100°C. However, in order to simulate the low-speed reaction characteristics of the natural degradation process of diesel fuel, even in the process of forcibly accelerating the degradation reaction, the degradation rate of diesel fuel must be limited, requiring tens to hundreds of hours to complete the enhanced degradation process. Since excessively high mass transfer and catalytic reaction rates are not required, precious metal catalysts (precious metal wire 21) can also be used to further appropriately increase the degradation reaction rate of diesel fuel during the enhanced degradation process. Furthermore, appropriate stirring can further enhance the effects of measures such as increasing the storage temperature of diesel fuel, increasing the oxygen content in diesel fuel, and setting up catalyst mesh 2 to intensify the degradation reaction. Therefore, by adopting necessary intensification measures, the degradation reaction rate of diesel fuel molecules can be accelerated, enabling the rapid preparation of degraded diesel fuel samples.
[0079] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a method for preparing degraded diesel fuel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0080] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing degraded diesel fuel using the above-described system for accelerating the deterioration of diesel fuel storage conditions is provided, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following steps S1 to S4.
[0081] Step S1: Inject diesel fuel into the containment cavity 12 of the reactor 1, which is equipped with catalyst mesh 2.
[0082] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the length of the catalyst mesh 2 located in the receiving cavity 12 in the radial direction differs from the inner diameter of the receiving cavity 12 by 2 mm to 10 mm, and the distance between the lowest end of the catalyst mesh 2 located in the receiving cavity 12 and the bottom of the receiving cavity 12 is 2 to 5 times the diameter of the circle formed after the stirrer body 6 is rotated.
[0083] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the catalyst mesh 2 is platinum (Pt) or palladium (Pd), and the density of the noble metal wires 21 of the catalyst mesh 2 is 20 mesh to 80 mesh.
[0084] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the density of the precious metal wire 21 can be 20 mesh, 40 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0085] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the noble metal wire 21 of the catalyst mesh 2 is 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm.
[0086] According to embodiments of the present invention, precious metal materials, represented by platinum and palladium, have a catalytic effect on the degradation reaction of hydrocarbon fuels, and the larger the contact area between the precious metal material and the hydrocarbon fuel, the stronger the catalytic effect of the precious metal material on the degradation reaction of hydrocarbon fuels. The smaller the diameter of the precious metal wire 21, the larger the contact surface area of the same mass of precious metal material, which is more conducive to catalyzing the degradation reaction. However, excessively thin precious metal wires 21 have low mechanical strength and high processing costs. Considering the catalytic effect, mechanical strength, and cost, a catalyst mesh 2 woven from precious metal wires 21 with a diameter of 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm is selected as the catalyst for the degradation reaction.
[0087] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the injected diesel fuel is 50% to 80% of the total volume of the receiving cavity 12 of the reactor 1.
[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, after diesel fuel is injected into the receiving cavity 12, the cover 11, the sealing gasket 13 and the body 10 are fixed together by a plurality of fasteners 14.
[0089] Step S2: Adjust the oxygen supply mechanism 30 to deliver oxygen into the receiving cavity 12 at the first delivery pressure and the first delivery flow rate, and at the same time adjust the inert gas supply mechanism 31 to deliver inert gas into the receiving cavity 12 at the second delivery pressure and the second delivery flow rate.
[0090] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second conveying pressure is the same as the first conveying pressure, and the second conveying flow rate is not less than the first conveying flow rate.
[0091] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first conveying pressure and the second conveying pressure are 0.2MPa to 2MPa, and the second conveying flow rate is 1 to 10 times the first conveying flow rate.
[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first delivery flow rate is 1 ml / min to 10 ml / min.
[0093] According to embodiments of the present invention, adding an inert gas to oxygen can prevent excessively high oxygen concentration and improve the safety of the oxidation reaction between oxygen and diesel. Furthermore, adding an inert gas to oxygen can pre-disperse the oxygen, increasing its dispersion in diesel. The dispersed oxygen forms smaller, faster-moving, and more uniformly dispersed oxygen bubbles in the diesel.
[0094] Step S3: Use temperature controller 5 to adjust the temperature of heating jacket 4 that is fitted on the outside of reactor 1.
[0095] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the heating jacket 4 is 50°C to 100°C.
[0096] Step S4: The magnetic actuator 7 drives the stirrer body 6 in the receiving cavity 12 to stir the diesel fuel, causing the diesel fuel to undergo a deterioration reaction, and the deterioration reaction time is 50h~200h.
[0097] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the rotational speed of the stirrer body 6 is 5 r / s to 50 r / s.
[0098] According to an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the degraded diesel fuel, the temperature controller 5 is turned off to stop heating, and the first pressure reducing valve 301, the second pressure reducing valve 311, the first flow meter 302, the second flow meter 312, the oxygen source 300, and the inert gas source 310 are turned off. Finally, the magnetic actuator 7 is turned off. The fixing component 14, the cover 11 of the reaction vessel 1, and the sealing gasket 13 are disassembled, and the diesel fuel in the receiving cavity 12 is taken out, which is the enhanced degraded diesel fuel sample.
[0099] According to embodiments of the present invention, since the enhanced degradation reaction of diesel does not require excessively high mass transfer rates and catalyst activity, the present invention applies a precious metal catalyst (precious metal wire 21) primarily used in medium- and high-temperature liquid catalytic reaction systems to the diesel degradation reaction in low-temperature liquid catalytic reaction systems, achieving a moderate increase in the diesel degradation reaction rate. Through the synergistic effect of multiple degradation reaction enhancement methods (increasing the diesel storage temperature, setting the catalyst wire mesh 2, increasing the oxygen content in the diesel, and appropriate stirring intensity), the degradation reaction of diesel in its storage state is accelerated, shortening the time for preparing degraded diesel. Simultaneously, by adjusting the duration of the degradation reaction, diesel with different degrees of degradation in different storage states can be obtained. Diesel with different degrees of degradation in different storage states, with an equivalent storage period of several years to more than ten years, can be prepared in just 50 to 200 hours. This provides a rapid method for preparing calibration and verification test diesel samples for constructing a method for determining the timing of oil changes for long-term stored diesel.

[0133] Physicochemical property testing showed that the viscosity of the diesel sample in Example 5 at 40°C was 4.95 mm. 2 / s, viscosity change rate is 17.9%, and gum content is 8.9mg / kg.
[0134] Examples 1, 2, and 3, through the rational matching of degradation reaction conditions, fully leverage the synergistic accelerating effect of four degradation reaction acceleration measures—stirring, heating, oxygenation, and catalysis—on the diesel fuel degradation reaction. Within the reaction time periods set in each example, degraded diesel fuel samples reaching or exceeding the degradation level required for oil change (viscosity change rate at 40℃ not less than 25.0%, gum content not less than 10.0 mg / kg) were prepared, achieving the functional objectives of the rapid preparation method of this invention.
[0135] On the other hand, Example 4 did not use artificial oxygenation or the addition of a catalyst, and Example 5 did not use the addition of a catalyst; all other degradation reaction conditions were the same as the corresponding degradation reaction conditions in Example 1. The diesel sample of Example 4 had a viscosity of 4.52 mm at 40°C. 2 The viscosity change rate was 7.6% per second, and the gum content was 4.1 mg / kg. The diesel sample in Example 5 had a viscosity of 4.95 mm at 40°C. 2 The viscosity change rate was 17.9% per second, and the gum content was 8.9 mg / kg. In contrast, the diesel sample in Example 1 had a viscosity of 5.25 mm² at 40°C. 2 The viscosity change rate was 25.0%, and the gum content was 11.3 mg / kg. Analysis of the above degradation reaction results shows that stirring, heating, oxygenation, and catalysis can all accelerate the diesel degradation process. Compared to the degradation reaction results of Example 4, the addition of oxygenation in Example 5 increased diesel viscosity by 9.5% and gum content by 4.8 mg / kg within a 200-hour reaction period. Compared to Example 4, the addition of catalysis in Example 1 increased diesel viscosity by 6.1% and gum content by 2.4 mg / kg. The above analysis shows that during the diesel degradation reaction, adding any one of the four accelerating measures (stirring, heating, oxygenation, and catalysis) further accelerates the increase in diesel viscosity and gum content. Meanwhile, under the degradation reaction conditions of Example 1 (heating temperature 50°C, stirring body rotation speed 5 r / s), without the synergistic effect of oxygenation and catalysis, the degree of diesel degradation to reach or exceed the required level for oil change (viscosity change rate at 40°C not less than 25.0%, gum content not less than 10.0 mg / kg) cannot be achieved within the maximum test period (200 h) specified in this invention. Therefore, to ensure the achievement of the required diesel degradation level (the degree of diesel degradation to reach or exceed the required level for oil change) within the degradation reaction conditions specified in this invention, the four diesel degradation acceleration measures—stirring, heating, oxygenation, and catalysis—are all indispensable.
