Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooling down a generator set, and in particular to a parallel cooling system and a working method for an emergency and parked generator set. Background Art

[0002] Ship emission regulations require that the temperature of the coolant entering the low-temperature intercooler circuit must be lower than a certain value. If it is higher than this temperature, the exhaust gas emissions will not meet the regulatory requirements. The existing emergency and mooring generator set uses an engine-driven fan and a water tank radiator for cooling, but the ship's environmental design temperature is higher than the set value of the coolant entering the low-temperature intercooler circuit, so the coolant temperature cannot be reduced below the set value.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to design a new cooling system to reduce the coolant temperature of the low-temperature intercooling circuit to below the set value. Summary of the invention

[0021] Advantages and features of the present invention will be illustrated and explained by the following non-limiting description of preferred embodiments thereof, which are given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 A front view of the overall structure of the generator set designed for the present invention, Figure 2 A side view of the overall structure of the generator set designed for the present invention, Figure 3 Circuit diagram of the cooling system designed for the present invention. The present invention designs a parallel cooling system for emergency and moored generator sets, including a generator set and a water tank radiator arranged on one side of the wide side of the generator set, wherein the water tank radiator includes a main radiator 1, an LTA radiator 8, a fan 2, a first expansion water tank 6 and a second expansion water tank 7. The main radiator 1, the fan 2 and the LTA radiator 8 are arranged inside the shell of the water tank radiator, and the fan 2 is used to air-cool the main radiator 1 and the LTA radiator 8. The first expansion water tank 6 and the second expansion water tank 7 are arranged on the top of the shell of the water tank radiator and arranged side by side. The first expansion water tank 6 and the second expansion water tank 7 are high-temperature water and low-temperature water expansion water tanks, which are used to adjust the pressure and heat inside the entire cooling system. The generator set is also connected to a first fresh water pump 3, a second fresh water pump 4, a thermostatic valve 5, an intercooler 9, a lubricating oil cooler 10 and an LTA plate cooler 11. The connection relationship between the thermostatic valve 5 and the intercooler 9 and the generator set is a prior art, so it will not be repeated in the present invention.

[0023] The intercooler 9 is also connected to the LTA radiator 8 and the second fresh water pump 4 through pipelines. The LTA radiator 8 is connected to the second fresh water pump 4 through pipelines. The coolant flows out of the intercooler 9, passes through the LTA radiator 8 and the second fresh water pump 4 in sequence, and then flows back to the intercooler 9. The thermostatic valve 5 is respectively connected to the inlet of the first fresh water pump 3, the lubricating oil cooler 10 and the main radiator 1 through pipelines. The lubricating oil cooler 10 is also connected to the outlet of the first fresh water pump 3, and the main radiator 1 is connected to the inlet of the first fresh water pump 3. The LTA plate cooler 11 is arranged in the middle of the generator set. The LTA plate cooler 11 is respectively connected to the pipelines between the intercooler 9 and the LTA radiator 8 and between the second fresh water pump 4 and the LTA radiator 8 through pipelines. The first three-way solenoid valve 12 and the second three-way solenoid valve 13 are also respectively arranged at the connection points of the pipelines. The LTA plate cooler 11 is also respectively connected to the first solenoid valve 14 and the second solenoid valve 15 through pipelines. The second solenoid valve 15 is also connected to the water pump 16 through a pipeline. The direction of the coolant flowing out of the intercooler 9 can be controlled by opening and closing the first three-way solenoid valve 12 and the second three-way solenoid valve 13. When the first three-way solenoid valve 12 and the second three-way solenoid valve 13 are opened, the coolant flows out of the intercooler 9, passes through the first three-way solenoid valve 12, the LTA radiator 8, the second three-way solenoid valve 13, the second fresh water pump 4 in sequence, and then flows back to the intercooler 9; when the first three-way solenoid valve 12 and the second three-way solenoid valve 13 are closed, the coolant flows out of the intercooler 9, passes through the first three-way solenoid valve 12, the LTA plate cooler 11, the second three-way solenoid valve 13, the second fresh water pump 4 in sequence, and then flows back to the intercooler 9. There are two coolant passages inside the LTA plate cooler 11. The coolant in the first passage enters the LTA plate cooler 11 through the first three-way solenoid valve 12 and then flows out through the second three-way solenoid valve 13 and the second fresh water pump 4 in sequence. The coolant in the second passage enters the LTA plate cooler 11 through the second solenoid valve 15 and then flows out through the first solenoid valve 14. The setting value of the coolant in the intercooling circuit in the prior art is 40°C. The first expansion water tank 6 is connected to the pipelines between the intercooler 9 and the LTA radiator 8 and between the second fresh water pump 4 and the LTA radiator 8 through pipelines; the second expansion water tank 7 is connected to the pipelines between the thermostatic valve 5 and the main radiator 1 and between the main radiator 1 and the first fresh water pump 3 through pipelines.

[0024] There are five coolant passages in the cooling system of the present invention. The first passage is from the thermostatic valve 5, through the first fresh water pump 3, the lubricating oil cooler 10, and finally flows back to the thermostatic valve 5. The second passage is from the thermostatic valve 5, through the main radiator 1, the first fresh water pump 3, the lubricating oil cooler 10, and finally flows back to the thermostatic valve 5. The third passage is from the intercooler 9, through the first three-way solenoid valve 12, the LTA radiator 8, the second three-way solenoid valve 13, the second fresh water pump 4, and finally flows back to the intercooler 9. The fourth passage is from the intercooler 9, through the first three-way solenoid valve 12, the LTA plate cooler 11, the second three-way solenoid valve 13, the second fresh water pump 4, and finally flows back to the intercooler 9. The fifth passage is from the water pump 16, through the second solenoid valve 15, the LTA plate cooler 11, the first solenoid valve 14, and finally flows out of the generator set.

[0025] The coolant in the present invention is preferably fresh water at 36°C, and may also be sea water at 36°C.

[0026] The present invention also provides a working method applicable to the series cooling system of the emergency and parking generator set described in the present invention, comprising the following steps:

[0027] Step 1, emergency mode. In this mode, the ship emission regulations do not have specific restrictions on the temperature of the ship's discharge liquid. Therefore, in the emergency mode, the first solenoid valve 14, the second solenoid valve 15 and the water pump 16 on the generator set are closed. At this time, the first three-way solenoid valve 12 and the second three-way solenoid valve 13 are in the open state, and the coolant in the generator set flows out from the thermostatic valve 5. A part of it flows directly into the first fresh water pump 3, and then flows into the generator set through the thermostatic valve 5 after being cooled by the lubricating oil cooler 10 to cool the generator set; the other part flows through the main radiator 1, the first fresh water pump 3, the lubricating oil cooler 10, and finally flows into the generator set through the thermostatic valve 5 to cool the generator set; at the same time, the coolant in the intercooler 9 flows out from the intercooler 9, and flows into the intercooler 9 through the first three-way solenoid valve 12, the LTA radiator 8, the second three-way solenoid valve 13, and the second fresh water pump 4 to continue cooling. In this mode, the LTA plate cooler 11 does not work, and the LTA radiator 8 and the main radiator 1 are cooled by the air volume provided by the fan 2 .

[0028] Step 2, mooring mode. In this mode, the ship emission regulations have restrictions on the temperature of the ship's discharge liquid, so the first solenoid valve 14, the second solenoid valve 15 and the water pump 16 on the generator set are opened and start working. At this time, the coolant in the generator set flows out from the thermostatic valve 5, a part of which directly flows into the first fresh water pump 3, and then flows into the generator set through the thermostatic valve 5 after being cooled by the lubricating oil cooler 10 to cool the generator set; the other part flows through the main radiator 1, the first fresh water pump 3, the lubricating oil cooler 10 in turn, and finally flows into the generator set through the thermostatic valve 5 to cool the generator set; at the same time, the first three-way solenoid valve 12 and the second three-way solenoid valve 13 are closed, and the coolant in the intercooler 9 flows out from the intercooler 9, and flows into the intercooler 9 through the first three-way solenoid valve 12, the LTA plate cooler 11, the second three-way solenoid valve 13, and the second fresh water pump 4 in turn to continue cooling.

[0029] In addition to the above embodiments, the present application may also have other implementation modes. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation shall fall within the protection scope required by the present application.
