Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ships, in particular to a pipeline oil pollution detection system. Background Art
[0002] Liquid cargo ships are mainly used to carry liquid finished oil products. According to the characteristics of different oil products, some oil products need to be heated by heating coils during transportation. The heating heat source mainly comes from the steam in the engine room. After the steam is heat exchanged, it turns into condensate and returns to the boiler for further heating. If the heating coil in the cargo oil tank leaks, the cargo oil will seep into the condensate pipeline and return to the boiler. This situation is very dangerous and may explode in extreme cases. Therefore, it is very important to detect the leak as soon as possible. Utility Model Content

[0015] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model relates to a pipeline oil pollution detection system, comprising an oil tank 2 with a built-in heating coil 1 and a detection cylinder 3, the bottom of the detection cylinder 3 is provided with a condensate inlet pipe 4, the top is provided with an air vent and an oil probe 5, the side wall is provided with a condensate outlet pipe 6 and a visual observation mirror 7, the visual observation mirror 7 is used to observe the liquid level in the detection cylinder 3, the upper end outlet of the condensate outlet pipe 6 and the visual observation mirror 7 are located at the same height of the detection cylinder, both are arranged at four-fifths of the height of the detection cylinder 3, the liquid level height in the detection cylinder 3 is maintained at four-fifths of the cylinder height, and the lower end inlet of the condensate outlet pipe 6 extends to the bottom of the detection cylinder 3. The air vent is connected to the air vent valve 8, the oil probe 5 extends into the liquid level of the detection cylinder 3, the oil probe 5 is electrically connected to the alarm light column 9, the outlet of the heating coil 1 is divided into two paths, which are respectively connected to the detection inlet pipeline and the first condensate outlet pipeline, one end of the detection inlet pipeline is connected to the condensate inlet pipe 4, the detection inlet pipeline is provided with an inlet valve 10, the condensate outlet pipe 6 discharges condensate through the second outlet pipeline, the second outlet pipeline is provided with an outlet valve 11, and the first outlet pipeline is provided with a bypass valve 12.
[0016] Before the system works, open the inlet valve 10, outlet valve 11 and breathable valve 8, close the bypass valve 12, let the condensate enter the detection cylinder 3, observe the liquid level from the visual observation mirror 7, and then close the breathable valve 8. Since the upper outlet of the condensate outlet pipe 6 is installed at 4 / 5 of the height of the detection cylinder 3, the liquid level in the detection cylinder 3 will be maintained at four fifths of the cylinder height. The density of oil is smaller than that of condensate, so the oil will float above the condensate and form an oil-water interface. Since the lower inlet of the condensate outlet pipe 6 extends to the bottom of the detection cylinder, the oil will not be discharged with the condensate. The oil probe 5 is installed on the top of the detection cylinder 3 and extends to the oil-water interface. In this way, during the steam condensation process, once the condensate is mixed with oil, it will float at four fifths of the height of the detection cylinder 3, so that it will be detected by the oil probe 5, and the signal will be transmitted to the alarm lamp post 9, and the alarm lamp post 9 will alarm. After receiving the alarm, the operator can observe the oil pollution situation through the observation mirror which is also installed at four-fifths of the height of the detection cylinder and respond in time.
[0017] When the oil probe 5 is damaged and needs to be repaired, the inlet valve 10 and the outlet valve 11 are closed, the bypass valve 12 is opened, and the oil probe 5 is disassembled, repaired, or replaced.
[0018] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention also includes other implementation modes. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
