Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine power auxiliary system design technology, specifically relating to an integrated method and device for the functional structure of a high-power marine power emission system. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly stringent ship emission standards, diesel engine exhaust aftertreatment systems for high-power marine propulsion units are becoming increasingly complex. Due to space constraints, independent unit distributed installation is virtually impossible. Therefore, traditional methods of designing individual units independently are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of integrated design. The functional units and their roles are as follows: Fuel injector: used to inject fuel during DPF active regeneration, which mixes with exhaust gas and is then oxidized and heated by DOC; DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst): Oxidizes CO, HC and regenerates fuel injection, and oxidizes NO to NO2; DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Filters and captures particulate matter; Urea mixer: sprays urea aqueous solution, causing it to hydrolyze and produce NH3, which is then uniformly mixed with the exhaust gas; SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction): Reduces NOx to N2; Muffler: Reduces exhaust noise.

[0003] In existing technologies, the design methods and computational models of each functional unit are usually carried out independently, lacking a systematic coupled computational model, which leads to the following problems in integrated design: Multi-parameter matching is difficult. The design parameters of each unit are coupled with each other, and independent calculations cannot take into account the mutual influence between functional units, resulting in substandard performance after integration.

[0004] Multiphysics coupling predictions are inaccurate. In finite-scale spaces, there is a lack of applicable computational models for multiphysics coupling prediction, which involve the coupling of multiple physics fields such as flow, temperature, sound, and dynamics.

[0005] Multi-objective optimization is inaccurate. The integration of various functional units involves multiple objectives such as volume, back pressure, conversion efficiency, noise reduction effect, and thermal management, and lacks a systematic design process method.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to construct an integrated model and method for the structure and function of high-power marine emission systems. This model and method will guide the structural parameter matching design, performance prediction, and optimization of integrated devices for high-power marine emission systems, so as to achieve the effect of integrated purification of multiple pollutants emitted by high-power marine power systems. This has significant engineering application value. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated method and device for the functional structure of a high-power marine emission system, which can guide the structural parameter matching design and performance optimization of multi-unit coupling to achieve integrated purification of multiple pollutants.

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an integrated method for a high-power marine emission system, comprising a fuel injection mixing unit, a DOC unit, a DPF unit, a urea mixing unit, an SCR unit, and a noise reduction unit; the method includes the following steps: S1. Determine the design input parameters, which include diesel engine exhaust parameters, emission control indicators, and physical characteristic constraints; S2.

[0012] According to the above scheme, in step S3, the performance estimation of each functional unit includes chemical reaction kinetic modeling, ignition characteristics and conversion efficiency estimation, and central temperature field distribution prediction for the DOC functional unit.

[0013] According to the above scheme, in step S3, the performance estimation of each functional unit includes estimating the filtration efficiency and pressure drop, evaluating the regeneration heat, and predicting the central temperature field distribution for the DPF functional unit.

[0014] According to the above scheme, in step S3, the performance estimation of each functional unit includes urea droplet breakup and evaporation analysis, urea hydrolysis reaction kinetic analysis, and ammonia distribution uniformity estimation for the urea mixing functional unit.

[0015] According to the above scheme, the performance estimation of each functional unit in step S3 includes predicting the flow uniformity, estimating the nitrogen oxide conversion efficiency, and estimating the zone temperature and reaction rate for the SCR functional unit; and estimating the sound transmission loss, pressure loss, and carrier-assisted sound silencing contribution for the silencing functional unit.

[0016] According to the above scheme, in step S4, the multi-objective integrated optimization of the execution function unit includes: establishing objective functions and constraints for integrated volume, back pressure, conversion efficiency, noise reduction effect and thermal management, performing parameter sensitivity analysis, and determining the optimal design scheme.

Multiple functional unit estimation modules are used to perform performance estimation on each functional unit based on the volume quota and obtain performance estimation results; the multiple functional unit estimation modules include a fuel injection and mixing functional unit estimation module, a DOC functional unit estimation module, a DPF functional unit estimation module, a urea mixing functional unit estimation module, an SCR functional unit estimation module, and a noise reduction functional unit estimation module. The multi-objective integrated balancing module is used to perform multi-objective integrated optimization of functional units based on the performance estimation results, and output the optimal design scheme that meets the constraints.

[0018] Beneficial effects This invention integrates six major functional units—fuel injection mixing, DOC, DPF, urea mixing, SCR, and silencing—into a unified functional structure design process by sequentially executing steps such as design input determination, overall volume allocation estimation, performance estimation of each functional unit, and multi-objective integrated optimization. This systematically solves the mutual coupling effects that cannot be considered when each unit is designed independently, and achieves the overall optimal matching of multiple mutually restrictive performance indicators such as volume quota, conversion efficiency, and back pressure. Ultimately, it achieves the effect of integrated purification of multiple pollutants under the constraint of limited cabin space. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1 The method is divided into nine design phases, with each step described in detail.

[0023] S1. Design Input Determination Phase The first stage is determining the design inputs. This step involves defining three basic input parameters that provide the design boundaries for the entire process: 1. Diesel engine exhaust parameters; 2. Emission control targets; 3.

Once these three types of input conditions are defined, step S1 is complete, and the result is output to the next stage.

[0024] S2, Total Volume Distribution Estimation Stage The second stage is the estimation of the total volume allocation. Based on the upstream input conditions, this step plans the overall volume of the post-processing system. This involves both allocating volume quotas to each functional unit and establishing a quantitative model for volume allocation. Specifically, step S2, estimating the total volume allocation of each functional unit, includes: (1) Volume Requirement Estimation Model: The volume required by each functional unit is determined by reaction kinetics. Based on the exhaust volume flow rate, residence time of each functional unit, and carrier porosity, the required volume of each functional unit is determined. The model formula is:

This step includes stages 3 to 8, corresponding to the estimation of six functional units: fuel injection mixing, DOC, DPF, urea mixing, SCR, and muffler.

[0030] Phase 3: Fuel Injection Mixing Unit Estimation. This step corresponds to step S3, which involves predicting the uniformity of fuel-air mixing and estimating the mixing length of the fuel injection mixing unit. It is further broken down into two tasks: 1. Predicting the uniformity of fuel-air mixing; 2. Estimating the mixing length. This step specifically estimates the fuel injection mixing unit at the post-treatment front end, evaluating the uniformity of fuel-air mixing and the mixing section length required to achieve the target uniformity.

This step corresponds to step S3, which involves chemical reaction kinetic modeling, ignition characteristics and conversion efficiency estimation, and core temperature field distribution prediction for the DOC functional unit. It is further broken down into three tasks: 1. Chemical reaction kinetic modeling; 2. Ignition characteristics and conversion efficiency estimation; 3. Core temperature field distribution prediction. Specific estimation models include: 1) DOC conversion efficiency estimation model:

[0033] As an activating reaction factor; The ratio of surface area to volume (m²) 2 / m 3 L is the length of the carrier (m); The velocity is denoted as m / s.

[0034] 2) DOC outlet temperature estimation model (used to calculate DOC temperature rise during active fuel injection regeneration): During active fuel injection regeneration, DOC temperature rise:

[0035] in, The regeneration injection flow rate is (kg / s). It has the lowest calorific value (J / kg) for diesel fuel. For oxidation efficiency; The flue gas flow rate is (kg / s). Specific heat of flue gas (J / kg.K).

[0036] This step corresponds to step S3, which involves estimating the filtration efficiency and pressure drop, assessing the regeneration heat, and predicting the center temperature field distribution for the DPF functional unit. It is further broken down into three tasks: 1. Estimating filtration efficiency and pressure drop; 2. Estimating the regeneration heat; 3. Predicting the center temperature field distribution. Specific estimation models include:

The SCR functional unit estimation is further broken down into three tasks: 1. Flow uniformity prediction; 2. Nitrogen oxide conversion efficiency estimation; 3. Zoned temperature and reaction rate estimation. Specific estimation models include: 1) SCR conversion efficiency estimation model:

[0045] in, exhaust volume flow rate (m³) 3 / h); SCR carrier volume (m 3 ); The characteristic space velocity (1 / h) depends on the catalyst formulation; For maximum conversion efficiency, it depends on the catalyst formulation.
