Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an instrument and equipment, in particular to a salt spray system. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Salt spray is a common marine atmosphere distributed from the sea surface to two thousand meters above the ground. It is formed by a large number of tiny salt droplets (or salt cores) generated when the cavitation bubbles contained in the violently moving seawater on the surface burst and diffusely distributed with the rising airflow. On the one hand, with global warming and rising temperatures, the temperature of the marine atmosphere is on the rise. On the other hand, solar radiation, ultraviolet radiation, etc. cause the surface of the equipment structure to heat up sharply, which can reach 70℃-90℃ locally. Through heat conduction, the temperature of the salt cores deposited on the surface increases. Furthermore, the marine atmosphere near industrial areas (such as the Bohai Rim area) is mostly acidic. What's worse, conventional-powered aircraft carriers emit a large amount of combustion exhaust gas SOx and NOx, making the marine atmosphere on the ship surface highly acidic. These natural environmental factors, coupled with regional characteristics and equipment service conditions, result in the salt spray temperature acting on the equipment being much higher than the climate temperature and tending to be acidic.

[0004] At present, the artificial simulation salt spray system device is limited to meeting the 35℃ and 50℃ salt spray test requirements, and cannot cover extreme salt spray phenomena. Simply extending the time cannot accelerate the test. These have caused the correlation deviation between the salt spray test results and the actual service status of the equipment structure. It is necessary to build a new generation of salt spray system. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to artificially simulate the extreme marine atmospheric salt spray environment surrounding the ship deck and equipment surface and build a new generation of salt spray system, the utility model provides a broad-spectrum salt spray artificial simulation system, and the technical solution is as follows:

[0006] The broad-spectrum salt spray artificial simulation system comprises a first-order saturation barrel, a second-order saturation barrel, a nozzle, a salt spray chamber, a peristaltic pump and an air compressor, wherein the air compressor is connected to the first-order saturation barrel, the first-order saturation barrel is connected to the second-order saturation barrel, the second-order saturation barrel is connected to the nozzle, and the nozzle is connected to the peristaltic pump, and the nozzle is fastened inside the salt spray chamber.

[0007] The first-order saturation barrel heats the pure water uniformly, and the airflow at a certain pressure delivered by the air compressor reaches the first-order temperature after heat exchange with the pure water, and the generated first-order hot airflow is delivered to the second-order saturation barrel.

[0008] The second-order saturated barrel heats the brine uniformly, and the first-order hot air flow reaches the second-order temperature after heat exchange with the brine, and the generated second-order hot air flow is transported to the nozzle; wherein the inner wall of the second-order saturated barrel has corrosion resistance against boiling brine at 115°C under 0.2MPa pressure.

[0009] The nozzle mixes the second-order hot air flow and a salt solution of a certain pH value delivered by a peristaltic pump, and forms a neutral or acidic salt mist with a second-order temperature through atomization, which is dispersed in the salt spray chamber; wherein the nozzle has corrosion resistance to 90°C acidic salt mist and corrosion resistance to 115°C boiling salt water under 0.2MPa pressure.

[0010] The inner wall of the salt spray box has corrosion resistance against 90° C. acid salt spray.

[0011] The peristaltic pump is used to transport a salt solution with a certain pH value to the nozzle, and the amount of salt mist deposition in the salt spray chamber is controlled by setting the flow rate.

[0012] The air compressor is used to generate an airflow with a certain pressure and a certain flow rate, and deliver it to the first-order saturation barrel; wherein the airflow pressure does not exceed 0.2MPa.

[0013] Optionally, the chemical composition and concentration of the salt contained in the brine and the salt solution are the same and can be prepared; the pH value of the brine and the salt solution is 2.0-7.0, and the acidity and alkalinity of the salt mist are adjusted by preparing salt solutions with different pH values.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The salt spray system of the utility model has a double-stage saturation barrel structure, which realizes the progressive adjustment of the air flow temperature. Since the first-stage saturation barrel heats pure water at a relatively low temperature, the air compressor is prevented from being corroded by salt water and high temperature, which is beneficial to the long-term operation of the salt spray system in simulating extreme marine atmosphere.

[0016] 2. The salt spray system of the utility model has a second-order saturated barrel and nozzle that can resist corrosion from boiling salt water at 115°C under an air pressure of 0.2MPa, and a salt spray chamber that can resist corrosion from acidic salt spray at 90°C. It can adjust the salt spray temperature within the range of (room temperature + 5°C) to 90°C through hot air flow, and can adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the salt spray by the pH value of the salt solution, thereby achieving artificial simulation of a broad-spectrum salt spray of extreme marine atmosphere surrounding the ship's deck and equipment surface.
