Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of methanol fuel filter, in particular to a filter for methanol fuel. BACKGROUND

[0002] Methanol fuel is a kind of clean fuel actively explored by shipping industry to cope with emission reduction pressure, which has many advantages such as clean and environmentally friendly, high combustion efficiency, economical and practical, high safety, etc. In the shipping industry, since methanol fuel belongs to low flash point fuel and has toxicity, therefore, in the methanol fuel system, the arrangement of pipes and accessories should ensure that the system can be completely vented and purged clean without residue. Before the methanol enters the fuel system, a filter is needed to filter the methanol. In the prior art, the filter adopts a conventional barrel-shaped filter. Since the traditional barrel-shaped filter has a body lower than the interface, there will be some liquid accumulated in the filter lower than the pipeline that cannot be blown out during pipeline purging. Therefore, the barrel-shaped filter needs to set a venting point at the lowest point of the filter and a purging port at the highest point, and connect a venting pipe and a purging pipe to ensure that the methanol residue is vented clean. Since a separate venting pipeline and control valve are needed, the preparation cost of the methanol fuel filter is high, and the maintenance and operation convenience and reliability are poor, so it needs to be improved.

In this embodiment, the filter mounting pipe is a straight pipe. The space between the inlet and outlet of the filter mounting pipe is horizontal with the external pipeline. Both ends of the filter mounting pipe are integrally formed with flanges. Several connection ports are opened through the flanges along the thickness direction to facilitate quick connection between the filter mounting pipe and the external pipeline.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 The filter mounting tube has an integrally formed vertical mounting tube on its top wall. The vertical mounting tube and the filter mounting tube have a T-shaped cross section. The filter body is installed inside the vertical mounting tube. The filter body is located inside the filter mounting tube and has a filtrate slope on the side facing the liquid inlet to allow methanol fuel to enter for filtration and to facilitate subsequent purging and venting of methanol fuel.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 A sealing cap is installed at the top of the vertical installation pipe, and a sealing gasket is installed between the sealing cap and the top wall of the vertical installation pipe to improve the overall sealing performance and reduce the probability of methanol fuel leakage. The bottom wall of the sealing cap is integrally formed with a mounting base, and the bottom wall of the mounting base has a mounting groove for the top of the filter body. The filter body abuts against the top wall of the mounting groove and the bottom wall inside the filter installation pipe, thereby maintaining the stability of the filter body and the stability of the filtration efficiency.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The outer wall of the vertical mounting tube is provided with at least two sets of locking components to facilitate the fixation of the vertical mounting tube and the sealing cover. The locking components include a hinge seat, a rotating pin, a clamping plate, a locking stud, and a locking nut. The hinge seat is welded to the outer wall of the vertical mounting tube, the rotating pin is rotatably connected to the hinge seat, the clamping plate is slidably connected to the peripheral wall of the rotating pin, the locking stud is welded to the end of the rotating pin away from the hinge seat, and the locking nut is threaded to the peripheral wall of the locking stud. When it is necessary to fix the sealing cover, the rotating pin is rotated to make the rotating pin turn into a vertical state, and the clamping plate is pressed against the surface of the sealing cover. The locking nut is rotated to make the locking nut press against the clamping plate, thereby pressing the clamping plate against the surface of the sealing cover, thus realizing the quick fixation of the sealing cover and the vertical mounting tube.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The sealing cap has a vent opening along its thickness direction, and a vent plug is installed inside the vent to maintain the balance of air pressure inside and outside the pipeline. A pull ring is installed at the top of the sealing cap for easy operation by staff.
