Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ship smoke treatment, in particular to a metering device and smoke treatment equipment. Background Art

[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are a major cause of air pollution. They not only contribute to acid rain and photochemical smog, but also damage the ozone layer and harm the human body. With growing environmental awareness, NOx emissions are receiving increased attention. The shipping industry has also begun to regulate NOx emissions, with diesel engine exhaust from ships being a major source of air pollution in coastal and port areas.

[0003] The Annex to the International Maritime Organization's "Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships" proposed and established emission control areas to effectively control atmospheric pollution emissions from ships. The emission standards for NOx were officially implemented on January 1, 2016.

[0004] Currently, the primary method used by the marine industry to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engines is selective catalytic reduction (SCR). This involves a catalyst that selectively reacts a reducing agent with NOx to produce harmless N2 and H2O. SCR technology offers high NOx conversion rates, no impact on the original diesel engine's performance, and is mature and widely used. It is widely recognized as the most important post-treatment technology, meeting not only current NOx emission standards but also future, even more stringent ones.

[0005] The key to SCR technology is to evenly mix NOx and reducing agent in proportion, and the metering device controls the amount of reducing agent and is a key component of the SCR system.

[0006] Existing metering devices include a compressed air pipe for delivering compressed air and a reducing agent pipe for delivering reducing agent. Both the compressed air pipe and the reducing agent pipe extend in a curved pattern, creating a complex spatial structure in the gap between them. Several components of the metering device are located within this space, making it difficult to maintain these components within this complex spatial structure.

[0038] In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features known in the art are not described to avoid confusion with embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.

[0040] In this document, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” cited in the present invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order.

[0041] To thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed structure will be provided in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other embodiments.

[0042] The utility model provides a metering device that can supply a reducing agent and compressed air to a flue gas treatment device as needed. The flue gas treatment device treats ship flue gas using SCR technology. The reducing agent and compressed air are both fluids.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 The metering device includes a first tube 110 and a second tube 120. The first tube 110 is used to transport compressed air to provide compressed air. The second tube 120 is used to transport a reducing agent to provide a reducing agent. The second tube 120 is arranged parallel to the first tube 110 and spaced apart. The space between the first tube 110 and the second tube 120 provides a simple space environment. Metering device components can be repaired or replaced within this space, making repair or replacement of metering device components convenient.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the metering device further includes a purge tube 130. The first end of the purge tube 130 is connected to the first tube 110. The second end of the purge tube 130 is connected to the second tube 120. Thus, after the metering device has finished providing the reducing agent, the first tube 110 can be connected to the second tube 120 via the purge tube 130, allowing compressed air to enter the second tube 120, thereby purging the interior of the second tube 120 and removing the reducing agent from the second tube 120.

[0045] The metering device includes a valve, which includes a purge valve 152 . The purge valve 152 is provided on the purge pipe 130 to control the conduction or cutoff of the purge pipe 130 .

[0046] The metering device further includes a proportional valve 160. The proportional valve 160 is provided on the second pipe 120. Thus, the flow rate of the reducing agent transported by the second pipe 120 can be controlled by the proportional valve 160.

[0047] Optionally, the purge pipe 130 is a hose, which makes it easier to place the purge pipe 130 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the first tube 110 and the second tube 120 are arranged in parallel and at intervals. The space environment between the first tube 110 and the second tube 120 is simple, and the parts of the metering device can be repaired or replaced within this interval, and the operation of repairing or replacing the parts of the metering device is convenient; the setting of the hose facilitates the placement of the purge tube 130.

[0049] Optionally, the purge tube 130 is a transparent tube. Thus, whether the compressed air flows toward the second tube 120 can be observed through the purge tube 130.

[0050] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the metering device also includes a shell 140. The shell 140 has an internal cavity, a first port 141, a second port 142, a third port 143 and a fourth port 144. The first port 141, the second port 142, the third port 143 and the fourth port 144 are all connected to the internal cavity. The first tube 110 and the second tube 120 are located in the internal cavity of the shell 140. One end of the first tube 110 is connected to the first port 141. The other end of the first tube 110 is connected to the second port 142. One end of the second tube 120 is connected to the third port 143. The other end of the second tube 120 is connected to the fourth port 144. In this way, the first tube 110 and the second tube 120 can be protected. In addition, the metering device constitutes a modular component. This facilitates the repair of the flue gas treatment equipment.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the axial direction of the first tube 110 and the axial direction of the second tube 120 are both parallel to the horizontal direction. Thus, the accumulation of the reducing agent in the second tube 120 can be reduced, and the service life of the second tube 120 can be increased.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the first tube 110 is located above the second tube 120. As a result, the reducing agent in the second tube 120 can be purged more effectively.

[0053] Optionally, the valve further includes a first valve 150 and a second valve. The first valve 150 is disposed on the first pipe 110 to control the flow of the first pipe 110. The second valve 151 is disposed on the second pipe 120 to control the flow of the second pipe 120. At least one of the first valve 150, the second valve 151, and the purge valve 152 is an electric ball valve.

[0054] The electric ball valve utilizes a spherical seal, enabling better control of the flow and shutoff of the pipelines (first pipe 110, second pipe 120, and purge pipe 130). Furthermore, the sealing spool of the electric ball valve has a longer service life, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the metering device. Furthermore, the electric ball valve has a manual opening and closing function, allowing for manual control of the flow and shutoff of the pipelines in unexpected situations, facilitating subsequent inspection and maintenance of the metering device.

[0055] Furthermore, along the flow direction of the fluid (compressed air) flowing through the first tube 110 , the first end of the purge tube 130 is located upstream of the first valve 150 .

[0056] Along the flow direction of the fluid (reducing agent) flowing through the second pipe 120, the second end of the purge pipe 130 is located downstream of the second valve 151. Therefore, the portion of the second pipe 120 located downstream of the second valve 151 can be easily purged.

[0057] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the metering device further includes a pressure reducing valve 161 and a flow meter 162. The pressure reducing valve 161 is provided in the first pipe 110. The pressure in the first pipe 110 can be controlled by the pressure reducing valve 161.

[0058] The flow meter 162 includes a first flow meter and a second flow meter (not shown). The first flow meter is provided in the first pipe 110 to detect the flow rate of the compressed air entering the first pipe 110. In the first pipe 110, the first flow meter is located upstream of the first end of the purge pipe 130 along the flow direction of the compressed air.

[0059] The second flow meter is provided in the second pipe 120. In the second pipe 120, along the flow direction of the reducing agent, the second flow meter is located upstream of the proportional valve 160. In this way, the flow rate of the reducing agent entering the second pipe 120 can be detected by the second flow meter.

[0060] Please continue to refer to Figure 1The metering device further includes a pressure sensor 163. Pressure sensor 163 may be a pressure gauge. Pressure sensor 163 includes a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor. The first pressure sensor is disposed in first tube 110 to detect the pressure within first tube 110. Along the flow direction of the compressed air within first tube 110, a flow meter 162, a first pressure sensor, the first end of purge tube 130, a pressure reducing valve 161, a first valve 150, and another first pressure sensor are sequentially disposed. This allows for constant monitoring of the pressure within first tube 110.

[0061] A second pressure sensor is installed in the second pipe 120 to detect the pressure within the second pipe 120. Along the flow direction of the reducing agent in the second pipe 120, a second pressure sensor, a second valve 151, another second pressure sensor, a proportional valve 160, and the second end of the purge pipe 130 are sequentially installed. Thus, the pressure within the second pipe 120 can be constantly monitored.

[0062] When using the metering device, open first valve 150 and second valve 151. Close purge valve 152. At this point, compressed air can enter first tube 110 from first port 141, flow through first tube 110, and then exit first tube 110 from second port 142. During this process, the pressure within first tube 110 can be detected by a first pressure sensor and controlled by pressure reducing valve 161. The flow rate of compressed air entering first tube 110 can be detected by a first flowmeter.

[0063] The reducing agent enters the second pipe 120 through the third port 143, flows through the second pipe 120, and is then discharged from the second pipe 120 through the fourth port 144. During this process, the pressure in the second pipe 120 can be detected by the second pressure sensor, and the flow rate of the reducing agent input into the second pipe 120 can be detected by the second flow meter. The flow rate of the reducing agent discharged from the second pipe 120 is controlled by the proportional valve 160.

[0064] After the metering device finishes providing the reducing agent, the second tube 120 needs to be purged to remove the reducing agent in the second tube 120. At this time, the purge valve 152 is opened, the first valve 150 and the second valve 151 are closed, and compressed air is passed from the first tube 110 through the purge pipe 130 into the second tube 120, and then discharged from the second tube 120 through the fourth port 144, thereby removing the reducing agent in the second tube 120.

[0065] The utility model also provides a flue gas treatment device, which includes the aforementioned metering device.

[0066] In this embodiment, the flue gas treatment equipment includes the aforementioned metering device, the first tube 110 and the second tube 120 are parallel and spaced apart, the space environment between the first tube 110 and the second tube 120 is simple, and the parts of the metering device can be repaired or replaced within this space, and the operation of repairing or replacing the parts of the metering device is convenient; the setting of the hose facilitates the placement of the purge tube 130.
