[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ship pipelines, in particular to a seawater pipeline system for external fire fighting of tugboats. Background Art
[0002] The fire-fighting and tugboat has good propulsion capability, stability, and maneuverability. It has the basic functions of a fire-fighting and tugboat (with FIFI1 firefighting) and adopts a fully rotating Z-type rudder propeller device. It is mainly used to assist and monitor large oil tankers in berthing and loading and unloading operations, and to assist in berthing large container ships. If necessary, it can also carry out certain firefighting and rescue operations on distressed ships in the sea area around the port. The stability meets the requirements of towing operations in offshore navigation areas. The fire pump gearbox has the functions of speed increase and clutch while transmitting the working torque, and is widely used in various ships with firefighting functions;
[0003] However, the existing fire gearbox of the fire-fighting and tugboat is changed to an internal circulation seawater cooling system in winter. The outlet valve of the fire gearbox cooler needs to be closed, which causes the oil temperature to be too high and the cooler water pipe to be blocked, resulting in the cooling water not being able to circulate effectively, thereby increasing the oil temperature and causing the cooler water pipe to be blocked, seriously affecting the safe navigation of the ship. In order to solve the above problems, a seawater pipeline system for external fire fighting of tugboat is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] According to the above existing technical problems, the utility model provides a seawater pipeline system for external firefighting of a tugboat, which is characterized by comprising a main engine seawater pump, a right main engine seawater suction port, an external firefighting gearbox cooler, a circulating water tank, an air cooler, a lubricating oil cooler, a fresh water cooler, and a right main engine outboard valve, wherein the main engine seawater pump is connected to the right main engine seawater suction port, the outlet of the main engine seawater pump is connected to the external firefighting gearbox cooler, the outlet of the main engine seawater pump is connected to the air cooler, the air cooler is connected to the lubricating oil cooler, the lubricating oil cooler is connected to the fresh water cooler, the fresh water cooler is connected to the right main engine outboard valve, and the fresh water cooler is connected to the circulating water tank;
[0005] Furthermore, the circulating water tank is connected to the inlet of the main engine seawater pump through a pipeline, the outlet of the main engine seawater pump has two branches, one of which is connected to the external fire gear box cooler through a pipeline, and the other is connected to the fresh water cooler through an air cooler and a lubricating oil cooler, and the outlet of the water cooler has two branches, one of which enters the circulating water tank, and the other is connected to the right main engine outboard valve;
[0006] Furthermore, the outlet of the external fire-fighting gearbox cooler has two branches, one of which leads directly to the outside of the ship, and the other leads to the circulating water tank through a pipeline and a one-way stop valve.
[0007] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0008] Through pipeline transformation, the utility model stabilizes the oil temperature of the fire gearbox within the normal working range of 35 to 45 degrees Celsius, the cooler water pipe is no longer blocked, the number of dredging times is reduced, and the optimization of the cooling system of the fire gearbox is realized. By adding water pipelines and one-way stop valves, not only the problem of excessive oil temperature is solved, but also the blockage of the cooler water pipe is avoided, the number of maintenance times and costs are reduced, the operation efficiency and safety of the ship are improved, the maintenance cost and labor intensity are reduced, and at the same time, the maintenance cost of the ship is reduced and the operation efficiency is improved, which has significant economic benefits. At the same time, by improving the safety performance of the ship, the risk of safety accidents caused by equipment failure is reduced, and the ship's ability to respond to emergencies is enhanced, which has important social benefits.
