DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0068] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the offshore generator set of the present application comprises a common base 3, and a container is arranged on the upper surface of the common base 3, i.e. the sea water generator set is a container type generator set. The common base 3 is respectively provided with a diesel engine 5, a generator 9 and a cooling system. Specifically, the common base 3 is provided with a central cooler 1, a low temperature water pump 2, a heat exchanger 4, an elastic coupling 6, a first regulating valve 7, a second regulating valve 8, a single ball rubber joint 10, an instrument box 11, an intercooler 12, an electric turning gear 13, an electric pre-feed pump 14, an oil electric heater 15, a coarse filter 16, a water removal filter 17, a fine filter 18, a temperature regulating valve 19 and a cylinder jacket water heater 20. Since the central cooler 1, the low temperature water pump 2, the first regulating valve 7, the second regulating valve 8, the coarse filter 16, the electric pre-feed pump 14 and the cylinder jacket water heater 20 are all integrated on the common base 3, i.e. all are integrated inside the set, the integration degree of the whole offshore generator set is improved, the internal components and pipelines of the cabin are greatly reduced, and the internal layout space of the shipyard is reduced.

[0070] The sea water pump 26 outside the set is connected with the central cooler 1. The sea water is filtered by a sea water filter and then enters the central cooler 1 under the action of the sea water pump 26. The sea water is discharged from the cabin after heat exchange in the central cooler 1. In a preferred embodiment, the outer circulation pipeline outside the set, the valve body of the first regulating valve 7, the valve body of the second regulating valve 8 and the valve body of the temperature regulating valve 19 are made of stainless steel, which improves the corrosion resistance of the set components and improves the reliability of the set.

[0071] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, according to the embodiment of the application, the control method of the offshore generator set comprises the following steps:

[0072] Step S1, acquiring the high-temperature water inlet temperature T1 of the diesel engine, the low-temperature water outlet temperature T2 of the diesel engine, the low-temperature water inlet temperature T3 of the generator and the low-temperature water outlet temperature T4 of the generator;

[0073] The high-temperature water inlet temperature T1 of the diesel engine refers to the water temperature entering the diesel engine, the low-temperature water outlet temperature T2 of the diesel engine refers to the water temperature discharged from the offshore generator set, the low-temperature water inlet temperature T3 of the generator refers to the water temperature entering the generator, and the low-temperature water outlet temperature T4 of the generator refers to the water temperature discharged from the generator.

[0074] Step S2, specifically comprising:

[0075] S20, judging whether the high-temperature water inlet temperature T1 of the diesel engine is greater than a preset maximum temperature Tmax;

[0076] If the high-temperature water inlet temperature T1 of the diesel engine is greater than the preset maximum temperature Tmax, i.e., T1>Tmax, a corresponding generator set overheating checking signal is generated; if the high-temperature water inlet temperature T1 of the diesel engine is less than or equal to the preset maximum temperature Tmax, i.e., T1≤Tmax, it indicates that the generator set is running normally. This step enables the application to realize real-time monitoring of the generator set by monitoring the high-temperature water inlet temperature of the diesel engine in real time, so that the fault can be processed in time once it occurs, and the reliability of the operation of the generator set is improved.

[0077] It should be noted that the cause of the overheating of the generator set may be that the cooling components in the diesel engine 5 fail, such as the malfunction of the thermostat 25, which cannot be opened in time, so that the high-temperature water discharged from the diesel engine 5 cannot be heat-exchanged in the heat exchanger 4, resulting in problems in the heat dissipation of the diesel engine, and further resulting in the overheating of the generator set.

[0078] S21, judging whether the low-temperature water outlet temperature T2 of the diesel engine is greater than a preset diesel engine temperature threshold;

[0079] If the low-temperature water outlet temperature T2 of the diesel engine is greater than the preset diesel engine temperature threshold, a corresponding diesel engine fault checking signal is generated; if the low-temperature water outlet temperature T2 of the diesel engine is less than or equal to the preset diesel engine temperature threshold, it indicates that the diesel engine 5 is running at low load at this time. This step enables the application to realize real-time monitoring of the diesel engine 5 by monitoring the low-temperature water outlet temperature in real time, so that the fault can be processed in time once it occurs, and the reliability of the operation of the generator set is improved.

[0080] S22, judging whether the low-temperature water inlet temperature T3 of the generator is within a preset first temperature range;

[0081] If the generator low-temperature inlet water temperature T3 is not within the preset first temperature range, a corresponding cooling system fault check signal is generated; if the generator low-temperature inlet water temperature T3 is within the preset first temperature range, it indicates that the cooling system is operating normally and can effectively dissipate heat for the generator and the diesel engine 5. This step enables the present application to realize real-time monitoring of the cooling system by monitoring the generator low-temperature inlet water temperature in real time, so that once a fault occurs, it can be handled in a timely manner, thereby improving the reliability of the unit operation.

[0082] It should be noted that the cause of the cooling system failure can be a malfunction of the temperature regulating valve 19. Once the temperature regulating valve 19 malfunctions, it cannot direct the generator outlet water and / or the heat exchanger 4 outlet water into the central cooler 1, and cannot exchange heat with the external low-temperature seawater, resulting in abnormal generator low-temperature inlet water temperature.

[0083] S23, determining whether the generator low-temperature outlet water temperature T4 is greater than a preset generator temperature threshold value;

[0084] If the generator low-temperature outlet water temperature T4 is greater than the preset generator temperature threshold value, a corresponding generator fault check signal is generated; if the generator low-temperature outlet water temperature T4 is less than or equal to the preset generator temperature threshold value, it indicates that the generator is operating at low load. This step enables the present application to realize real-time monitoring of the generator by monitoring the generator low-temperature outlet water temperature in real time, so that once a fault occurs, it can be handled in a timely manner, thereby improving the reliability of the unit operation.

[0085] Step S3, according to the unit overheating check signal, issuing a corresponding prompt and checking whether the offshore generator unit has a fault;

[0086] According to the diesel engine fault check signal, issuing a corresponding prompt and checking whether the diesel engine has a fault;

[0087] According to the cooling system fault check signal, issuing a corresponding prompt and detecting whether the cooling system has a fault;

[0088] According to the generator fault check signal, issuing a corresponding prompt and detecting whether the generator has a fault.

[0089] The control method of the present application can effectively monitor the unit, the generator 9, the diesel engine 5 and the cooling system in real time by monitoring the water temperature at different positions in the integrated pipeline in the unit, can timely discover and handle faults, improves the reliability of the unit operation, ensures the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling system, and the method of the present application is simple to implement and low in cost.
