Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engines, and particularly relates to an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system and method suitable for extremely cold environments. BACKGROUND

[0002] In extremely cold environments, the starting and running of engines face severe challenges. Due to the increase in the viscosity of fuel and the poor flowability of fuel under low-temperature conditions, and the characteristic of diesel fuel that is prone to waxing, the traditional engine preheating and fuel supply methods often fail to meet the requirements. In addition, although the use of low-grade diesel fuel in extremely cold regions can improve the low-temperature flowability of fuel, it is costly and the incomplete combustion of fuel reduces the engine efficiency. Therefore, how to provide an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system and method suitable for extremely cold environments has become a technical problem to be solved at present.

[0003] Most existing engine preheating systems use electric heating or flame injection to preheat the coolant or fuel, but these methods have problems such as high energy consumption, uneven preheating, and low heating efficiency. At the same time, the traditional fuel supply system often only has one fuel tank, and neither the use of regular diesel fuel nor the use of low-grade diesel fuel can balance the cost-effectiveness and engine performance. In particular, in extremely cold regions, the use of regular diesel fuel can easily lead to engine starting difficulties, while the use of low-grade diesel fuel is costly and the incomplete combustion of fuel at low temperatures further reduces the engine efficiency.

[0004] In addition, the existing fuel tank design often does not take into account the problem of diesel waxing. Under low-temperature conditions, diesel fuel is prone to waxing at the bottom of the fuel tank, making it difficult for the oil pump to suck in the diesel fuel that has waxed at the bottom, thereby affecting the normal starting and working of the engine. This problem is particularly prominent in extremely cold regions, posing a great risk to the stable operation of the engine.

[0005] In summary, the existing engine preheating and fuel supply system has many technical defects in extremely cold environments and cannot meet the starting and running requirements of the engine under low-temperature conditions. Therefore, the present application aims to overcome the above technical defects and provide an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating system and method suitable for extremely cold environments to solve the problems of engine starting difficulty, high fuel cost, and diesel waxing in extremely cold regions.

[0023] The application also provides an engine preheating and fuel circulation heating method suitable for extremely cold environments, comprising the following steps:

[0024] Step one, when the temperature is low, open the stop valves arranged on the water pipe and the circulating pipe respectively, so that the water inlet and outlet of the cooling liquid cavity form a passage; the cooling liquid is pumped out through the water pump on the cooling liquid heater, heated in the heating cavity, and then returned to the cooling liquid cavity; at the same time, the oil pump sucks oil from the auxiliary oil cavity, and the low-grade diesel oil enters the heating tank body through the fuel port to heat the heating cavity;

[0025] Step two, after the engine cylinder is heated, the stop valves, the cooling liquid heater and the oil pump are closed; the driving motor of the liquid fuel heater is started to drive the oil valve to rotate and cut off the connection with the main oil cavity; at this time, only the oil supply element in the auxiliary oil cavity supplies oil, the low-grade diesel oil is pumped from the auxiliary oil suction pipe to the low-grade oil supply port, enters the fuel cavity through the second oil supply pipe, the second oil supply port, the first oil supply port and the first oil supply pipe, and the engine is started; after starting, the low-grade diesel oil returns to the auxiliary oil cavity through the first oil return pipe, the first oil return port, the second oil return port and the second oil return pipe;

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the application has obvious advantages in the field of engine preheating and fuel circulation heating in extremely cold environments. By innovatively adopting the main and auxiliary oil tank structure design, the application only needs to store a small amount of low-grade diesel in the auxiliary oil tank, which accounts for 1 / 10 of the overall oil tank capacity, while the main oil tank stores conventional diesel, which accounts for 9 / 10 of the total oil tank capacity. This strategy greatly reduces fuel costs while taking into account the starting performance and operating efficiency of the engine in low-temperature environments. In addition, the application uses low-grade diesel in the auxiliary oil tank for preheating, significantly shortening the preheating time of the engine in extremely cold conditions and improving the success rate of starting. The innovative design of the fuel heater and the coolant heater not only achieves more uniform and efficient heating, but also effectively reduces energy consumption. In view of the problem that diesel is prone to waxing at low temperatures, the application ensures that the conventional diesel can quickly melt the waxed part after the engine starts through the circulation heating method, avoiding the risk of oil pump suction difficulty and engine failure caused by diesel waxing. At the same time, the system enhances the flexibility and reliability of the system through the flexible switching of the oil valve and the driving motor, so that the entire system can operate more stably and economically in extremely cold environments. In summary, the application has obvious advantages in cost-effectiveness, engine starting performance, heating efficiency, risk of avoiding diesel waxing, and system flexibility and reliability.

[0045] In order to more efficiently heat the coolant, the inside of the coolant heater 2 comprises a heating tank main body 21, which is provided with a heating cavity inside. A water pump 22 is arranged on the heating tank main body 21, which pumps water from the coolant cavity through a water pipe, heats the water through the heating cavity, and then returns to the coolant cavity through a circulation pipe 61, forming a closed-loop heating system.

[0046] In an embodiment, in order to further improve the heating efficiency and fuel utilization rate of the system, a heater oil suction pipe 55 is additionally arranged below the oil suction main body 51. The oil suction pipe is connected with the fuel oil pipe 8 through a heater oil suction port 56 to directly deliver the low-grade diesel oil to the fuel port 211 of the heating tank main body 21 for heating. In order to control the supply amount of fuel, an oil pump 81 is arranged on the fuel oil pipe 8 to adjust the flow rate of fuel as needed.

The addition of these two devices makes the fuel supplied to the engine 1 more pure and safe.

[0051] In one embodiment, the heating element 43 is a spiral heating pipe. This design not only improves the heating efficiency, but also makes the heating more uniform, avoiding the occurrence of local overheating or insufficient temperature.
