Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] A marine diesel engine is an internal combustion engine specially designed for ship propulsion systems. It generates power by burning diesel to drive the ship's propeller or other power devices. The working principle of a marine diesel engine is based on a four-stroke cycle, which includes four basic stages: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. This type of engine usually has high efficiency, high reliability, and a strong ability to adapt to different loads. The design of a marine diesel engine takes into account the special requirements of the marine environment, such as corrosion resistance, vibration and noise control, and the ability to operate continuously for a long time. In addition, the cooling system of a marine diesel engine usually adopts an internal and external double-circulation water cooling method to improve the service life and reliability of the engine.

In order to adapt to the limited conditions on board, a one-day urea storage tank is often placed in the engine room to store urea for diesel engine SCR. Since the suitable storage temperature of urea is 0-35℃, and the ambient temperature of the engine room is generally 5-55℃, in order to prevent urea from deteriorating due to excessive temperature, a urea storage tank device for marine diesel engines is proposed.
