[0032] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a ship cooling water control system and control method, which includes a seawater cooling unit 1, a freshwater cooling unit 2, an equipment unit 3, a control unit 4, a central cooler 5, a three-way temperature control valve 6, and a temperature detection unit.

[0034] The output end of the seawater cooling unit 1 is connected to the first end of the central cooler 5, and the output end of the freshwater cooling unit 2 is connected to the second end of the central cooler 5. The seawater output from the seawater cooling unit 1 and the freshwater output from the freshwater cooling unit 2 exchange heat in the central cooler 5.

[0035] The input end of the freshwater cooling unit 2 is connected to the output end of the equipment unit 3, and the output end of the freshwater cooling unit 2 is also connected to the first input end of the three-way temperature control valve 6; the third end of the central cooler 5 is connected to the second input end of the three-way temperature control valve 6 to input the heat-exchanged freshwater into the three-way temperature control valve 6, and the output end of the three-way temperature control valve 6 is connected to the equipment unit 3.

[0036] The temperature detection unit includes a first temperature sensor 7 for monitoring the freshwater temperature at the inlet of the equipment unit 3, a second temperature sensor 8 for monitoring the freshwater temperature at the outlet of the equipment unit 3, and a third temperature sensor 9 for monitoring the seawater temperature.

[0037] The control unit 4 is electrically connected with the seawater cooling unit 1, the fresh water cooling unit 2, the equipment unit 3, the three-way temperature control valve 6 and the temperature detection unit respectively; the first frequency converter 12 is arranged between the control unit 4 and the seawater cooling unit 1; the second frequency converter 22 is arranged between the control unit 4 and the fresh water cooling unit 2.

[0038] Specifically, in the present application, the seawater cooling unit 1 extracts low-temperature seawater in the seawater tank through the first end into the central cooler 5, and is discharged to the ship side through the fourth end of the central cooler 5, and the fresh water cooling unit 2 extracts fresh water in the equipment unit 3, wherein the first part of fresh water is input into the central cooler 5 through the second end to exchange heat with seawater to lower the temperature, and then input into the three-way temperature control valve 6 through the third end and flow back to the equipment unit 3 through the three-way temperature control valve 6, and the second part of fresh water is mixed with the cooled first part of fresh water in the three-way temperature control valve 6 and flows back to the equipment unit 3; and the control unit 4 is connected with the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 through the first frequency converter 12 and the second frequency converter 22 respectively, and the control unit 4 is also electrically connected with the three-way temperature control valve 6; when the equipment starts, according to the current seawater temperature and the running data of the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2, the power of the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 at the start is set, so that the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 can meet the cooling demand while keeping a lower running power, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving and avoiding power waste; when the temperature of the fresh water at the inlet of the equipment unit 3 is too high and the cooling effect of the cooling system needs to be improved, more fresh water is input into the central cooler 5 to participate in heat exchange by adjusting the opening of the three-way temperature control valve 6, thereby reducing the temperature of the fresh water output by the three-way temperature control valve 6, thereby improving the cooling effect of the fresh water on the equipment unit 3 and reducing the temperature of the fresh water at the inlet and outlet of the equipment unit 3; when the opening of the three-way temperature control valve 6 is opened to the maximum, but the temperature of the fresh water at the inlet and outlet of the equipment unit 3 is still too high, the power of the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 can be calculated according to the current seawater temperature, the cooling water demand and the working load of the equipment unit 3 to achieve the best energy saving effect; when the seawater temperature is lower than the preset seawater temperature, the power of the seawater cooling unit 1 is increased and the power of the fresh water cooling unit 2 is partially reduced to transport more seawater to the central cooler 5 to participate in heat exchange, so that the temperature of the fresh water output by the three-way temperature control valve 6 is reduced to the lowest value corresponding to the preset temperature range, thereby keeping or even improving the cooling effect in the case of energy saving; when the working load of the equipment unit 3 becomes smaller or even part of the equipment is shut down, the running power of the fresh water cooling unit 2 can be reduced to reduce the circulating flow rate and flow of fresh water, thereby achieving energy saving while ensuring the cooling effect; when the working load of the equipment unit 3 becomes larger, the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 can be adjusted in combination with the data of the current seawater temperature through model data calculation to achieve the best adjustment of the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 under the condition of stable fresh water temperature at the inlet and outlet of the equipment unit 3, thereby achieving the energy saving effect; the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 can also be adjusted in linkage, rather than directly adjusting the seawater cooling unit 1 or the fresh water cooling unit 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, a first temperature sensor 7 is arranged between the three-way temperature control valve 6 and the equipment unit 3, and is used to monitor the temperature of the fresh water at the inlet of the equipment unit 3. A second temperature sensor 8 is arranged between the equipment unit 3 and the fresh water cooling unit 2, and is provided with a plurality of second temperature sensors corresponding to a plurality of electrical equipment in the equipment unit 3.

[0040] Specifically, the first temperature sensor 7 and the second temperature sensor 8 can monitor the temperature of the fresh water at the inlet and outlet of the equipment unit 3, respectively, and can represent the cooling condition of the equipment unit 3 and the heat exchange condition of the fresh water, respectively. In a specific embodiment, when the first temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 7 exceeds the corresponding preset temperature range, it indicates that the heat exchange condition of the fresh water is not ideal, at which time the running power of the seawater pump 11 in the seawater cooling unit 1 can be increased to increase the circulation speed of the seawater, so as to reduce the monitored first temperature and meet the cooling requirement of the equipment unit 3. When the second temperature monitored by the second temperature sensor 8 exceeds the corresponding preset temperature range, it indicates that the cooling effect of the equipment is not ideal, which may be due to the excessive heat generated by the equipment under the excessive load, at which time the running power of the fresh water pump 21 in the fresh water cooling unit 2 can be increased to increase the circulation speed of the fresh water, so as to reduce the monitored second temperature and meet the cooling requirement of the equipment unit 3. Further, when the second temperature exceeds the corresponding preset temperature range and the seawater temperature is lower than the preset seawater temperature, the running power of the seawater cooling unit 1 can also be increased slightly to reduce the first temperature, so that the temperature of the fresh water entering the equipment unit 3 is at the lowest value within the corresponding preset temperature range, thereby reducing the second temperature and achieving energy saving effect while ensuring the cooling effect.

[0041] In some embodiments, the input end of the equipment unit 3 is also provided with a differential pressure sensor 31, which is electrically connected to the control unit 4.

[0042] Specifically, the differential pressure sensor 31 is used to monitor the pressure and flow of the fresh water entering the equipment unit 3. When the feedback value of the differential pressure sensor 31 decreases, it indicates that the flow and flow rate of the fresh water are decreasing, at which time the cooling effect of the equipment unit 3 may be affected. When the feedback value of the differential pressure sensor 31 is less than the preset feedback value and the second temperature is higher than the corresponding preset temperature range, the running power and speed of the fresh water pump 21 in the fresh water cooling unit 2 are increased to provide more fresh water for the equipment unit 3 to achieve the cooling effect.

[0043] In some embodiments, the seawater cooling unit 1 includes a plurality of seawater pumps 11 connected in parallel; and the fresh water cooling unit 2 includes a plurality of fresh water pumps 21 connected in parallel.

[0044] Specifically, in actual use, the seawater pump 11 in the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water pump 21 in the fresh water cooling unit 2 are provided with multiple pumps, when the running power of the seawater cooling unit 1 or the fresh water cooling unit 2 needs to be adjusted, in addition to adjusting the running power of each seawater pump 11 or fresh water pump 21 to reduce the rotating speed, the running power of the seawater cooling unit 1 or the fresh water cooling unit 2 can also be reduced by closing some seawater pumps 11 or fresh water pumps 21, so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving.

[0045] In some embodiments, the device unit 3 is provided with multiple outlet valves corresponding to multiple electrical devices. Specifically, when the first temperature and the second temperature both exceed the corresponding preset temperature range, in addition to adjusting the opening degree of the three-way temperature control valve 6, the opening degree of the outlet valve can also be adjusted, and the opening degree of the outlet valve is adjusted to the maximum, so that the fresh water can flow through the device unit 3 more quickly and conveniently, and the cooling of the device unit 3 is realized. Only when the opening degree of the three-way temperature control valve 6 and the opening degree of the outlet valve are both opened to the maximum, but the first temperature and the second temperature still exceed the corresponding preset temperature range, the running power of the seawater pump 11 or the fresh water pump 21 is adjusted in combination with the current seawater temperature, so that the cooling effect of the cooling system remains stable.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2 The application also provides a ship cooling water control method, which comprises the following steps:

[0047] S1, the control unit 4 obtains the first real-time temperature of the seawater through the third temperature sensor 9, and controls the output power of the seawater cooling unit 1 and the fresh water cooling unit 2 according to the first real-time temperature;

[0048] S2, the control unit 4 obtains the first temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 7 and the second temperature monitored by the second temperature sensor 8, and controls the three-way temperature control valve 6, the first frequency converter 12 and the second frequency converter 22 according to the first temperature, the second temperature and the seawater temperature as an adjustment signal;

[0049] S3, the control unit 4 judges whether the first temperature and the second temperature exceed the corresponding preset temperature range, and adjusts the three-way temperature control valve 6 when the first temperature and the second temperature both exceed the corresponding preset temperature range;

[0050] S4, when the first temperature and the second temperature still exceed the corresponding preset temperature range, it is judged whether the three-way temperature control valve 6 is at the maximum opening degree, if the opening degree of the three-way temperature control valve 6 is not at the maximum opening degree, the opening degree of the three-way temperature control valve 6 is continuously adjusted to increase, if the three-way temperature control valve 6 is at the maximum opening degree, the opening degree of the outlet valve of the device unit 3 is adjusted to the maximum;

[0051] S5, the control unit 4 judges whether the first temperature and the second temperature are lower than the corresponding preset temperature range, if both are not lower than the corresponding preset temperature range, the seawater temperature, the first temperature, the second temperature, the cooling water demand of the equipment unit 3 and the working load of the equipment unit 3 are used to judge the required increased seawater cooling unit 1 power or fresh water cooling unit 2 power, and the seawater cooling unit 1 power and / or fresh water cooling unit 2 power are correspondingly adjusted by the first frequency converter 12 and the second frequency converter 22.

[0052] Wherein, when the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21 are not started, the current seawater temperature and the running state of the equipment unit 3, that is, the working load, can be obtained, and then the seawater temperature and the working load of the equipment unit 3 are input into the model to obtain the minimum running number and running power of the seawater pump 11 and the minimum running number and running power of the fresh water pump 21 that meet the cooling demand, and the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21 are started with the data, so that the energy saving effect can be achieved, and the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21 are prevented from being started too much and the power being too large during starting, thereby causing energy waste. Further, when the first temperature sensor 7 and the second temperature sensor 8 monitor the first temperature and the second temperature respectively when the cooling system is stably running after the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21 are started for a period of time, the first temperature is used to represent the fresh water temperature before entering the equipment unit 3, and the second temperature is used to represent the fresh water temperature discharged by the equipment unit 3, in addition to the real-time seawater temperature and the fresh water demand and working load of the equipment unit 3, the above data are used as the adjustment signal, and the control unit 4 controls the running state of the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21 through the first frequency converter 12 and the second frequency converter 22. Further, the first temperature and the second temperature have corresponding preset temperature ranges, in an embodiment, the maximum value of the preset temperature range corresponding to the first temperature is 36 degrees Celsius, when the first temperature is monitored to exceed 36 degrees Celsius, it indicates that the fresh water temperature entering the equipment unit 3 is too high, which is not conducive to the cooling use of the equipment in the equipment unit 3, if the opening degrees of the three-way temperature control valve 6 and the outlet valve have been adjusted to the maximum, the current seawater temperature, the working load of the equipment unit 3 and how much the first temperature exceeds the corresponding preset temperature range are used to judge the required increased seawater pump 11 speed or fresh water pump 21 speed that meets the minimum cooling demand, the size of the power required to increase the different pump speeds is judged, and the speed of the seawater pump 11 or the fresh water pump 21 is increased with the size; when the first temperature and the second temperature are reduced to the corresponding preset temperature range by increasing the power of the seawater pump 11 which can meet the cooling demand, the seawater pump 11 is started preferentially, otherwise the fresh water pump 21 is started preferentially, thereby achieving the energy saving effect.

[0053] In another embodiment, the model can also determine how much power of the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21 needs to be adjusted to make the first temperature and the second temperature return to the normal range, and then the model is used to intelligently adjust the running power of the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21, instead of adjusting the function of the seawater pump 11 or the fresh water pump 21 alone, so as to achieve the best cooling use power through the joint adjustment and control of the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21, thereby achieving the energy saving effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, the preset temperature range is determined by the current seawater temperature in combination with historical data and according to the heat balance calculation book. The preset temperature range can be set according to the current seawater temperature and the state of the equipment unit 3 running load in the past history, so as to avoid that the preset temperature range is too high to cause poor cooling effect and affect the normal operation of the equipment unit 3, and also avoid that the preset temperature range is too low to cause energy waste.

[0055] In step S5 of some embodiments, if the first temperature is higher than the corresponding preset temperature range and the second temperature is lower than the corresponding preset temperature range, the running power of the seawater pump 11 is increased by the first frequency converter 12 and the running power of the fresh water pump 21 is decreased by the second frequency converter 22; if the first temperature is lower than the corresponding preset temperature range and the second temperature is higher than the corresponding preset temperature range, the running power of the fresh water pump 21 is preferentially increased by the second frequency converter 22; and if the first temperature and the second temperature are both lower than the corresponding preset temperature range, the running power of the seawater pump 11 and the running power of the fresh water pump 21 are respectively decreased by the first frequency converter 12 and the second frequency converter 22.

[0056] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a ship cooling water control system and control method, which orderly connects the three-way temperature control valve 6, the first frequency converter 12 and the second frequency converter 22 through the control unit 4. When the temperature is too high and the cooling system needs to be regulated and controlled, the opening of the three-way temperature control valve 6 is preferentially adjusted to improve the cooling effect, so as to avoid the energy loss caused by increasing the power of the seawater pump 11 or the fresh water pump 21. In the case that the opening of the three-way temperature control valve 6 is maximum but the fresh water temperature is still too high, the current minimum power required to meet the minimum cooling demand can be determined according to the current seawater temperature and the current working load of the equipment unit 3, and the running state and the running power of the seawater pump 11 and the fresh water pump 21 are adjusted according to the power, so that the energy saving effect is further enhanced.

[0057] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make some improvements and replacements without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and replacements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
