Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a ship cabin positive and negative pressure environment control system and method, and belongs to the technical field of ship auxiliary machines. BACKGROUND

[0002] Special-purpose ships such as ocean cruise ships, large medical rescue ships and multi-functional scientific research ships for sea navigation operations are usually provided with independent medical isolation negative pressure cabin areas for receiving, accommodating, isolating and treating crew members with abnormal physical conditions, because of the harsh sea environment and long navigation operation time. These cabin areas usually need to be kept at a certain negative pressure relative to adjacent living cabin areas to avoid the spread of germs through the air to other ship cabin areas, thereby causing large-scale cluster infection events. At present, the conventional technical solution for the above-mentioned medical isolation negative pressure cabin areas is to configure one or several independent mechanical ventilation systems, use air-tight air ducts to transport air, set natural air inlets, exhaust fans and mechanical exhaust outlets, and realize the negative pressure gradient guarantee and control of the above-mentioned areas, while the cabin environment temperature and humidity are adjusted by independent air conditioning systems.

[0003] Special-purpose ships such as oil and gas drilling ships, new energy power ships, emergency fire rescue ships, refrigerated cargo transport ships and ocean fishing ships for sea navigation operations usually have a large amount of volatile, flammable and explosive hazardous gases around the ship air environment or equipment room. In order to protect the safety of the crew and the ship, it is necessary to set up a safe cabin area and maintain a certain positive pressure gradient relative to the outside atmosphere or dangerous area to prevent hazardous gases from entering. At present, the conventional technical solution for the above-mentioned safe cabin area positive pressure control is usually to configure one or several independent mechanical ventilation systems, use air-tight air ducts to transport air, set mechanical air inlets, air supply fans and natural exhaust outlets, realize the positive pressure gradient guarantee and control of the above-mentioned areas, and usually set independent air conditioning systems to regulate the cabin environment temperature and humidity.

[0004] During the implementation of the conventional technical solution, once the exhaust fan fails or the ship loses power, the mechanical ventilation system will immediately fail, the positive and negative pressure gradient control of the area will immediately fail, and the control of the cabin environment temperature and humidity will immediately fail. In the existing literature, the technical solution is to increase the standby power supply and redundant exhaust fan of the system, which can avoid the single-point failure of the fan and the failure of the main power supply to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the control of the positive and negative pressure gradient of the area and the control of the cabin environment temperature and humidity. During the implementation of the above-mentioned improved technical solution, the ship power supply is highly dependent, and when the ship is in an emergency condition, the power supply is limited or the whole ship loses power, the exhaust fan and the independent air conditioning function are limited, which may cause the cabin environment temperature to be out of control, the positive and negative pressure gradient of the area to be out of control, and it is difficult to meet the higher level of actual use demand of the ship.

[0040] The second step Z2: when the ship power system fails or the conventional mechanical air supply system fails, the ship cabin positive and negative pressure environment control system is started to maintain the positive pressure gradient of the cabin atmospheric environment under special circumstances. At this time, the ship cannot be powered by the conventional main generator, berthing generator and emergency generator. The central controller 401 controls the first positive pressure control branch L1, the second negative pressure control branch L2 and the third positive pressure control branch L3 to be started and stopped in order.

[0041] Specifically, the first gas storage device 301 and the first gas release valve 304 are opened, the first gas distribution valve 307 is connected with the pipeline of the first air feeder air booster 102 to be opened, the first air feeder air booster 102 supplies clean and fresh outside air to the safety cabin unit 500 through the air inlet duct unit 100, and the air in the cabin is naturally discharged from the safety cabin unit 500 through the air exhaust duct unit 200.

[0042] Further, the first air supply booster 102 adopts a pneumatic turbine fan, and the minimum air exchange frequency, the minimum ventilation air volume, the pressure gradient index, and the like of the safe cabin unit 500 are determined according to the requirements of the ship classification society regulation guide, laws and regulations, and technical specifications.

The method for positive and negative pressure environmental control of ship compartments according to claim 5, characterized in that, The positive pressure control method for ship compartments includes step Z2: when the ship's electrical system or conventional mechanical ventilation system fails, the central controller (401) controls the first positive pressure control branch, the second negative pressure control branch, and the third positive pressure control branch to open and close in an orderly manner, and uses the gas released from the gas storage device to maintain the positive pressure gradient of the compartment; The negative pressure control method for ship compartments includes step F2: when the ship's electrical system or conventional mechanical ventilation system fails, the central controller (401) controls the first positive pressure control branch L1 and the second negative pressure control branch L2 to open and close in an orderly manner, and uses the gas released from the gas storage device to maintain the negative pressure gradient of the compartment.

7. A method for positive and negative pressure environmental control of ship compartments according to claim 6, characterized in that, The positive pressure environmental control method for ship compartments includes step Z3: Based on step Z2, according to the compartment temperature requirements, the corresponding coolers and gas distribution valves are controlled to maintain the compartment ambient temperature; The negative pressure environmental control method for ship cabins includes step F3: Based on step F2, according to the cabin temperature requirements, the cabin ambient temperature is maintained by controlling the corresponding refrigerators and gas distribution valves.

8. A method for positive and negative pressure environmental control of ship compartments according to claim 7, characterized in that, In step Z1, the first supply air booster (102) adopts a variable frequency axial flow fan; in step Z2, the first supply air booster (102) adopts an aerodynamic turbine fan; in step F1, the first exhaust air booster (202) adopts a variable frequency axial flow fan.
