Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flexible direct current offshore converter valve cooling devices, and in particular to a sodium hypochlorite storage tank applied to a flexible direct current electric water cooling system. Background Art
[0002] The flexible DC electric field water cooling system is a cooling system for the flexible DC converter submodule. The water source of the water cooling system is the seawater lifting pump that extracts seawater. To ensure that the seawater lifting pump can lift seawater normally, seaweed is prevented from forming at the water inlet of the lifting pump and causing blockage. The sodium hypochlorite generator electrolyzes to produce sodium hypochlorite solution, which is stored in the sodium hypochlorite storage tank for 20 minutes and injected into the inlet of the seawater lifting pump through a pipeline and brought into the circulating seawater to inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the seawater. In the process of electrolysis to generate sodium hypochlorite solution, the generator will leave some impurities and sludge. After the impurities and sludge flow into the sodium hypochlorite storage tank, they will adhere to the bottom of the tank after a long period of sedimentation, making it difficult to clean and discharge. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to solve the problem of blockage of the sodium hypochlorite storage tank by residues and some sludge after electrolysis; and solve the problem of excessive siltation at the bottom of the sodium hypochlorite generator storage tank after electrolysis, which leads to blockage of the inlet pipeline leading to the seawater lifting pump.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0005] A sodium hypochlorite storage tank of a flexible direct current water cooling system comprises a seawater lifting pump, wherein the outlet of the seawater lifting pump is connected to an electrolytic cell box through an outlet pipe, wherein two generators are arranged in the electrolytic cell box, wherein the generators are connected to a straight-through pipe, and the straight-through pipe is connected to the sodium hypochlorite storage tank; an overflow pipe is also arranged on the top of the sodium hypochlorite storage tank, and the sodium hypochlorite storage tank is connected to a cone-bottom storage tank through a guide pipe; a sewage discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the cone-bottom storage tank, and two first pipes are connected above the electrolytic cell box, and outlets of the first pipes are connected to the top of the cone-bottom storage tank.
[0006] The generator is a sodium hypochlorite generator.
[0007] The straight-through pipe is provided with a storage tank valve.
[0008] An electric control box is also provided on the cone-bottom storage tank.
[0009] The top of the sodium hypochlorite storage tank is connected to an exhaust pipe, a liquid level gauge is installed on the side wall of the sodium hypochlorite storage tank, an electric pump is arranged at the bottom of the sodium hypochlorite storage tank, an output end of the electric pump is connected to a discharge pipe, a timing valve is installed on the discharge pipe, and an outlet of the discharge pipe is connected to the inlet of a seawater lifting pump.
[0010] The first pipeline is also provided with a first manual valve.
[0011] The guide pipe is also provided with a drain valve and a third manual valve.
[0012] The bottom of the cone-bottom storage tank is cone-shaped, which is convenient for removing chips and sludge.
[0013] The sewage pipe is provided with a second manual valve and a sewage valve.
[0014] The two first pipelines are connected in parallel with electric valves.
[0015] Preferably, the cone-bottom storage tank is made of fiberglass.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The utility model adds a cone-bottom storage tank next to the storage tank, and the sodium hypochlorite solution generated by the sodium hypochlorite generator first enters the cone-bottom storage tank. A diversion pipe is provided in the middle of the cone-bottom storage tank, and is connected to the drain pipe of the column storage tank through the pipe. The upper layer of impurity-free sodium hypochlorite solution is sent into the sodium hypochlorite storage tank through the diversion pipe to inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in seawater. When the sodium hypochlorite solution in the cone-bottom storage tank accumulates to the height of the diversion pipe, the upper layer of impurity-free sodium hypochlorite solution will enter the storage tank through the diversion pipe.
[0018] 2. The sewage pipe at the bottom of the cone-bottom storage tank is equipped with manual valves, electric valves and their control systems. The design of the cone-bottom storage tank allows the sediment at the bottom to be discharged regularly, reducing the accumulation of impurities and the risk of blockage.
[0019] 3. An overflow pipe is also provided on the top of the sodium hypochlorite storage tank; the function of the overflow pipe is to allow the sodium hypochlorite in the sodium hypochlorite storage tank to overflow. The overflow pipe is provided on the top to avoid overflow when the sodium hypochlorite storage tank is filled too much or when the liquid level meter fails and the electrolysis cannot be stopped. The bottom of the overflow pipe is an inverted U shape to reduce the flow rate of the overflowing sodium hypochlorite solution, thereby alleviating the impact force on the discharge pipe.
[0020] 4. By adding a cone-bottom storage tank and a sedimentation and sewage discharge system to the sodium hypochlorite storage tank, the problem of blockage caused by residues and some sludge after electrolysis can be solved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
