Description

A large amount of equipment commissioning work needs to be carried out during the construction of the ship at the wharf, and some of the equipment commissioning work needs to use the generator on the ship to provide power. Therefore, the generator of the ship needs to complete all the test work during the construction in the dock to achieve a normal use level.

[0003] When the ship is tested in the dock, sea water needs to be used to cool the generator, so as to ensure the normal test of the generator. According to the power of the generator, the amount of sea water required is different. At present, the method for cooling the generator during the test of the generator in the ship dock is to connect a tooling hose to the fire water main of the fire corridor at the edge of the dock, and connect the other end of the tooling hose to the plate cooler on the ship, and use the plate cooler to provide cooling sea water to cool the generator. However, this method is only suitable for generators with a power of less than 3000KW. The existing ship is equipped with six generators, and the power of each generator is greater than 3000KW.

More specifically, the first cooler 111, the second cooler 121 and the third cooler are all fresh water coolers.

[0046] It should be noted that control valves are installed between the above-mentioned pipelines to selectively open or close the pipelines. In order to avoid redundancy, this embodiment will not be described in detail.

[0047] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the water pump is used to provide power for the seawater delivery, and the specific number and installation position of the water pump are not described.

[0048] Specifically, the first ballast tank 14 and the second ballast tank 15 are both provided with a liquid level monitoring device. The liquid level monitoring device is used to detect the liquid level of the first ballast tank 14 and the second ballast tank 15. Preferably, the liquid level monitoring device is a liquid level sensor.

[0049] Specifically, the first tail pump cabin 11, the second tail pump cabin 12 and the third tail pump cabin 13 are all provided with a drain port, the first cooler 111 is connected to the drain port of the first tail pump cabin 11 through a pipeline, the second cooler 121 is connected to the drain port of the second tail pump cabin 12 through a pipeline, the third cooler 131 is connected to the drain port of the third tail pump cabin 13 through a pipeline, a water level monitoring device is installed on the dock bottom, and a submersible pump is installed on the dock bottom.

[0050] Embodiment two

[0051] As shown in Figure 2 Embodiment two of the present application provides a method for cooling a generator in a dock, which specifically comprises:

[0052] S100, pumping seawater to the first ballast tank 14 and the second ballast tank 15.

[0053] S200, starting the generator to test the generator.

[0054] S300, determining the number of generators in use in the first tail pump cabin 11. If all the generators in the first tail pump cabin 11 are in use, seawater is pumped to the first cooler 111 through the first branch pipe 21, and seawater in the first ballast tank 14 is pumped to the first cooler 111.

[0055] S400, determining the number of generators in use in the second tail pump cabin 12. If all the generators in the second tail pump cabin 12 are in use, seawater is pumped to the second cooler 121 through the first branch pipe 21, and seawater is pumped to the second cooler 121 through the second branch pipe 22.

[0056] S500, determining the number of generators in use in the third tail pump cabin 13. If all the generators in the third tail pump cabin 13 are in use, seawater is pumped to the third cooler 131 through the second branch pipe 22, and seawater in the second ballast tank 15 is pumped to the third cooler 131.

[0057] In detail, before the generator test, first, a certain amount of seawater is stored by the first ballast tank 14 and the second ballast tank 15. In operation, first, the working condition of the generator is determined. When both of the two generators in the first tail pump cabin 11 are turned on, the seawater of the fire-fighting seawater main pipe 2 is pumped to the first cooler 111 by the first branch pipe 21, and at the same time, the seawater in the first ballast tank 14 is pumped to the first cooler 111, so as to meet the cooling requirement when both of the two generators in the first tail pump cabin 11 work at the same time. Similarly, when both of the two generators in the third tail pump cabin 13 are turned on, the seawater of the fire-fighting seawater main pipe 2 is pumped to the third cooler 131 by the second branch pipe 22, and at the same time, the seawater in the second ballast tank 15 is pumped to the third cooler 131, so as to meet the cooling requirement when both of the two generators in the third tail pump cabin 13 work at the same time. When both of the two generators in the second tail pump cabin 12 are turned on, the seawater is pumped to the second cooler 121 by the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22 at the same time, so as to meet the cooling requirement when both of the two generators in the second tail pump cabin 12 work at the same time. Thus, the ship generator cooling method provided by the embodiment can meet the cooling requirement when six generators work at the same time by using the first ballast tank 14, the second ballast tank 15 and the fire-fighting seawater main pipe 2 to provide cooling seawater for the generators.

[0058] Specifically, determining the number of generators in the first tail pump cabin 11 includes the following steps: if one generator in the first tail pump cabin 11 is turned on, the seawater is pumped to the first cooler 111 by the first branch pipe 21, and the communication between the first ballast tank 14 and the first cooler 111 is disconnected.

[0059] Thus, the situation that the first branch pipe 21 and the first ballast tank 14 provide cooling seawater to the first cooler 111 at the same time when one generator in the first tail pump cabin 11 is turned on can be avoided.

[0060] Further, if one generator in the first tail pump cabin 11 is turned on, the seawater is pumped to the first cooler 111 by the first branch pipe 21 after the communication between the first ballast tank 14 and the first cooler 111 is disconnected, and the following steps are further included: the temperature of the first cooler 111 is monitored in real time, and it is determined whether the temperature of the first cooler 111 is greater than a first set temperature range. If yes, the seawater in the first ballast tank 14 is pumped to the first cooler 111.

[0061] In this way, if the first branch pipe 21 is blocked or leaks, the seawater of the first cooler 111 is insufficient, and the generator cannot be effectively cooled. At this time, the seawater in the first ballast tank 14 is pumped to the first cooler 111, so as to ensure that the test of the generator can be carried out normally.

[0062] Specifically, the step of judging the number of the generators in the third tail pump room 13 further comprises the following steps: if one generator in the third tail pump room 13 is in use, pumping seawater to the third cooler 131 through the second branch pipe 22, and disconnecting the communication between the second ballast room 15 and the third cooler 131. Thus, the situation that the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22 simultaneously provide cooling seawater to the second cooler 121 when one generator in the second tail pump room 12 is in use can be avoided.

[0063] Further, if one generator in the third tail pump room 13 is in use, after pumping seawater to the third cooler 131 through the second branch pipe 22 and disconnecting the communication between the second ballast room 15 and the third cooler 131, the method further comprises the following steps: monitoring the temperature of the third cooler 131 in real time, judging whether the temperature of the third cooler 131 is greater than the second set temperature range, if yes, pumping the seawater in the second ballast room 15 to the third cooler 131.

[0064] In this way, if the third cooler 131 is short of seawater due to the blockage or leakage of the second branch pipe 22, the generator cannot be effectively cooled, at this time, the seawater in the second ballast room 15 is pumped to the third cooler 131, thereby ensuring that the test of the generator can be carried out normally.

[0065] Specifically, the step of judging the number of the generators in the second tail pump room 12 further comprises the following steps: if one generator in the second tail pump room 12 is in use, pumping seawater to the second cooler 121 through the first branch pipe 21, and disconnecting the communication between the second branch pipe 22 and the second cooler 121. Alternatively, pumping seawater to the cooler through the second branch pipe 22, and disconnecting the communication between the first branch pipe 21 and the second cooler 121. Thus, the situation that the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22 simultaneously provide cooling seawater to the second cooler 121 when one generator in the second tail pump room 12 is in use can be avoided.

[0066] Further, if one generator in the second tail pump room 12 is in use, after pumping seawater to the second cooler 121 through the first branch pipe 21 and disconnecting the communication between the second branch pipe 22 and the second cooler 121, the method further comprises the following steps: monitoring the temperature of the second cooler 121 in real time, judging whether the temperature of the second cooler 121 is greater than the third set temperature range, if yes, pumping seawater to the second cooler 121 through the second branch pipe 22. Alternatively, monitoring the temperature of the second cooler 121 in real time, judging whether the temperature of the second cooler 121 is greater than the third set temperature range, if yes, pumping seawater to the second cooler 121 through the first branch pipe 21.

[0067] In this way, if the first branch pipe 21 or the second branch pipe 22 is blocked or leaks, resulting in insufficient seawater for the second cooler 121, the generator cannot be effectively cooled. At this time, seawater is pumped to the second cooler 121 through the second branch pipe 22 or the first branch pipe 21, thereby ensuring that the generator test can be carried out normally.

[0068] In detail, the first cooler 111, the second cooler 121, and the third cooler 131 are each provided with a temperature sensor for monitoring the water temperature of the first cooler 111, the second cooler 121, and the third cooler 131. It should be noted that the first set temperature range, the second set temperature range, and the third set temperature range need to be set according to the actual parameters of the generator, and are not limited herein.

[0069] Specifically, the ship dock generator cooling method further comprises: monitoring the water level of the first ballast tank 14 and the second ballast tank 15 in real time, if the water level of the first ballast tank 14 is greater than the first set water level, stopping pumping seawater into the first ballast tank 14, if the water level in the second ballast tank 15 is greater than the second set water level, stopping pumping seawater into the second ballast tank 15. In this way, the amount of seawater injected into the first ballast tank 14 and the second ballast tank 15 can be more conveniently controlled. In detail, the first set water level and the second set water level are the same, and the specific parameters of the first set water level and the second set water level need to be set according to the actual test requirements.

[0070] Specifically, after starting the generator and performing the generator test, the following steps are further included: the heat exchange waste water of the first cooler 111, the second cooler 121, and the third cooler 131 is discharged to the dock bottom; the water level of the dock bottom is monitored in real time, and if the water level of the dock bottom is higher than the set safety height, the submersible pump is controlled to discharge the waste water of the dock bottom to the outside of the dock. In detail, during the generator test, the waste water of the first cooler 111, the second cooler 121, and the third cooler 131 is continuously discharged to the dock bottom through the pipeline to ensure that seawater can be continuously pumped to the first cooler 111, the second cooler 121, and the third cooler 131 for heat exchange. The water level of the dock bottom is monitored in real time, and when the water level of the waste water in the dock bottom is higher than the set safety height, the submersible pump is used to pump it out to the outside of the dock to ensure the safety of the ship and the equipment. In detail, the set safety height needs to be set according to the actual parameters of the ship.

Various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present application. It is not necessary or possible to enumerate all the embodiments.
