Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship and marine engineering cooling systems, and in particular to an anti-fouling and anti-corrosion device and method for ship and marine engineering cooling pipelines. Background Art

[0002] Ship and marine engineering cooling pipes usually use open seawater circulation to remove excess heat generated by equipment operation, providing protection for the normal operation of core equipment such as power equipment and air conditioning in ships and marine engineering. However, when seawater is used as a cooling medium, the silt and marine organisms contained in the seawater will enter the pipes along with the seawater and quickly attach and grow on the inner wall of the pipe. As time goes by, more and more sediments and marine organisms attach to the inner wall of the pipe, which not only directly affects the cooling flow and the heat exchange capacity of the cooling system, resulting in reduced equipment operating efficiency and increased energy consumption, but in severe cases, it may even block the equipment heat exchanger, causing shutdowns and affecting the safe operation of ships and marine engineering. In addition, the attachment of marine organisms can also cause biological corrosion of the pipeline. Regular cleaning requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and the maintenance cost is high.

[0003] There are usually two types of anti-marine growth devices. The first type is the copper-aluminum electrode anti-marine growth device, which embeds copper and aluminum electrode rods on the top of the seabed valve box and uses a constant current control module to decompose the electrode rods in the seawater valve box to produce anti-fouling and anti-corrosion ions and distribute them to the entire seawater cooling pipe system, thereby reducing and preventing biological corrosion and electrochemical corrosion caused by the attachment of marine organisms in the seawater pipeline. However, the device needs to be powered on all the time when working, and the copper-aluminum electrodes are disposable consumables that must be replaced regularly during their service life. They are also installed underwater, making maintenance difficult and costly.

[0004] The second type is the ultrasonic anti-marine growth device, which emits ultrasonic pulses from an ultrasonic generator installed on the surface of the pipe or equipment, and continuously oscillates to produce alternating positive and negative pressure modes, that is, when positive pressure is applied, the tiny bubbles generated during the negative pressure period will burst, making it impossible for marine organisms to adhere to the pipe wall. The strong ultrasonic sound field can also disperse, crush, and kill marine organisms, so that they cannot accumulate in the cooling system. This device is expensive, needs to be operated continuously for 24 hours, and consumes a lot of energy.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] (1) The anti-fouling and anti-corrosion device for cooling pipes of ships and marine engineering of the present invention includes a fresh water supply pipe, a sea water supply pipe, an air intake pipe, a heat exchanger, a forward water inlet pipe and a forward water outlet pipe, a reverse water inlet pipe, a reverse water outlet pipe, a third valve body, a fourth valve body and a tenth valve body. By opening the second valve body and the third valve body and closing the first valve body and the fourth valve body, the cooling water pump pumps sea water, and the sea water supply pipe forwardly transports sea water to achieve cooling of electromechanical equipment. By opening the fourth valve body and closing the third valve body, the sea water supply pipe alternately transports sea water in the forward and reverse directions to achieve forward and reverse flushing of silt and sediment in the pipeline. By opening the tenth valve body and the fourth valve body and closing the third valve body and the cooling water pump, compressed air is reversely purged and the tenth valve body and the third valve body are opened and the fourth valve body is closed to forwardly purge the remaining sea water in the cooling water pipe. And by opening the first valve body, the second valve body, the third valve body and the fourth valve body to send fresh water into the forward water inlet pipe, the forward water outlet pipe, the reverse water inlet pipe and the reverse water outlet pipe, the seawater retained in the pipe is further discharged and the fresh water is retained to soak the pipe body, so that the marine organisms lose their growth environment, and finally the fresh water and the marine organisms are discharged from the hull and the marine engineering, reducing the accumulation and attachment of the marine organisms in the pipeline, and ensuring the heat exchange effect of the cooling system of the ship and the marine engineering. The device is simple to install, convenient to maintain and low in cost.

[0028] (ii) Furthermore, since direct fresh water replenishment cannot completely discharge seawater, fresh water will mix with seawater, the amount of fresh water used is large and the concentration of seawater in fresh water is high, so the soaking effect is limited. After the cooling pipeline is reversely flushed and before fresh water is replenished, the cooling pipeline is purged with compressed air, which can discharge the seawater remaining in the cooling pipeline, further purge the fine debris in the pipeline, reduce the concentration of residual seawater in the fresh water after fresh water replenishment, and greatly reduce the amount of fresh water used, further improve the fresh water soaking effect, greatly reduce costs and be more environmentally friendly. At the same time, the reverse pipeline and the forward pipeline are purged in turn, the purge effect is better and the energy consumption is lower.

[0029] (III) Further, the heat exchanger, the forward water inlet pipe, the forward water outlet pipe, the reverse water inlet pipe and the reverse water outlet pipe have multiple groups, and each group has corresponding fresh water supply branch pipes and sea water supply branch pipes. The recoil intensity is controlled by the number of simultaneous openings and closings of the second valve body, that is, multiple heat exchangers and their reverse cooling pipelines are selected to recoil one by one or in groups to recoil group by group, so as to ensure the recoil effect of the heat exchanger and the cooling pipeline.

[0030] (IV) Furthermore, when ships and marine engineering are operating, seawater can be transported alternately in the forward and reverse directions to backwash the silt and sediment in the pipes while cooling the equipment. When ships and marine engineering are not operating, compressed air can be used for forward and reverse blowing and fresh water can be used to discharge the seawater remaining in the heat exchanger and cooling pipes, and fresh water can be retained to soak the cooling pipes, so that marine organisms lose their growth environment and reduce the accumulation and attachment of marine organisms in the pipes. The method of the present invention can more comprehensively remove silt, sediment and marine organisms in the cooling pipes of ships and marine engineering, and the cooling system has a long service life. The method does not require continuous operation of the device, is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and is automatically operated by a controller with a high degree of automation.

[0053] In this embodiment, after forward flushing, the cooling water pump 6 is turned off, the tenth valve body 91 is opened, and compressed air is input into the air intake pipe 9 to blow out the seawater in the forward water inlet pipe 31 and the forward water outlet pipe 32. After the seawater is discharged from the ship and marine engineering, the tenth valve body 91 is closed, so that the cooling pipeline can be purged and the seawater can be discharged.

[0054] Third embodiment:

[0055] Based on the second embodiment, the third embodiment further optimizes and refines the anti-fouling and anti-corrosion device for the cooling pipe.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the anti-fouling and anti-corrosion device for cooling pipes of ships and marine engineering further includes a reverse water inlet pipe 41 , a reverse water outlet pipe 42 , a third valve body 33 and a fourth valve body 43 .

[0065] Specifically, the purge time is calculated according to the total volume of the pipeline and the compressed gas flow rate, and the opening time of the tenth valve body 91 is controlled according to the purge time.

[0066] Step S3, soaking the cooling pipes in fresh water: open the first valve body 12 and the second valve body 23, input fresh water through the fresh water supply pipe 1, and the fresh water discharges the seawater remaining in all pipes and soaks all pipes.

[0067] Preferably, the fresh water replenishment time is calculated based on the total volume of the fresh water immersion pipeline and the fresh water replenishment flow rate, and the opening time of the first valve body 12 and the second valve body 23 is controlled according to the fresh water replenishment time. When the opening time reaches the fresh water replenishment time, the fresh water fills the pipeline and starts to soak. At this time, the first valve body 12 is closed to save fresh water resources. There is no time limit for soaking until the seawater of the ship and marine engineering resumes work and discharges the fresh water in the pipeline. In the steps of compressed air purging and fresh water soaking of the cooling pipeline, the cooling water pump 6 is turned off to stop conveying seawater.

[0068] In this embodiment, when ships and marine engineering are working, conventional forward delivery of seawater can be adopted to achieve cooling of electromechanical equipment. By using compressed air to purge the cooling pipeline, the seawater retained in the cooling pipeline can be discharged, the concentration of fresh water immersion can be increased, and the fresh water immersion effect can be further improved, which greatly reduces the amount of fresh water used, reduces costs and is more environmentally friendly. By retaining the cooling pipeline for fresh water immersion, marine organisms lose their growth environment, and reduce the accumulation and attachment of marine organisms in the pipeline. The method of this embodiment can more comprehensively remove silt, sediment and marine organisms in the cooling pipelines of ships and marine engineering, and the cooling system has a long service life. This method does not require continuous operation of the device, is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and is automatically operated by a controller with a high degree of automation.

[0069] Fifth embodiment:

[0070] Based on the fourth embodiment, the fifth embodiment further optimizes and refines the fourth embodiment.

[0071] Step S1, forward cooling of the cooling pipe: open the second valve body 23 and the third valve body 33, close the first valve body 12 and the fourth valve body 43, the seawater supply pipe 2 inputs external seawater, the seawater passes through the forward water inlet pipe 31, enters from the inlet 51, exchanges heat in the heat exchanger 5, and then enters the forward water outlet pipe 32 from the outlet 52, and is discharged from the ship and marine engineering.

[0072] Step S2, reverse flushing of the cooling pipe: close the third valve body 33, open the fourth valve body 43, and the seawater passes through the reverse water inlet pipe 41, enters from the outlet 52, exchanges heat in the heat exchanger 5, and then enters the reverse water outlet pipe 42 from the inlet 51 to be discharged from the ship and marine engineering.

[0073] Step S3, compressed air purging of the cooling pipeline: when the ship and the marine engineering are not in operation, the tenth valve body 91 is opened, and the air inlet pipe 9 inputs compressed air to purge and discharge the seawater in the reverse water inlet pipe 41 and the reverse water outlet pipe 42, and the tenth valve body 91 is closed after the seawater is discharged from the ship and the marine engineering; the fourth valve body 43 is closed, the third valve body 33 and the tenth valve body 91 are opened, and the air inlet pipe 9 inputs compressed air to purge and discharge the seawater in the forward water inlet pipe 31 and the forward water outlet pipe 32, and the tenth valve body 91 is closed after the seawater is discharged from the ship and the marine engineering.

[0074] Step S4, soaking the cooling pipes in fresh water: open the first valve body 12, the second valve body 23, the third valve body 33 and the fourth valve body 43, input fresh water through the fresh water supply pipe 1, and the fresh water discharges the seawater retained in all pipes and soaks all pipes.

[0075] In this embodiment, when the ship and the marine engineering are in operation, the seawater can be transported alternately in the forward and reverse directions, and the equipment is cooled in the heat exchanger 5, and the silt and sediment in the pipeline are flushed forward and reversely, further improving the flushing effect. When the ship and the marine engineering are not in operation, compressed air is used for forward and reverse blowing and fresh water is used to discharge the seawater and small debris in the heat exchanger and the cooling pipeline, further improving the blowing effect.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
