[0083] In some embodiments, the monitoring device includes a drain valve level gauge 31 , which is connected to the manual drain valve 23 and is used to monitor the liquid level in the drain pipeline 37 .

[0084] The following further describes the marine methanol fuel control system in the embodiment of the present application in combination with specific operating methods.

[0085] Example 1

[0086] See also Figure 4 First, the methanol in the supply system enters the fuel control system from the supply inlet C1, passes through the fuel manual shut-off valve 1, the fuel filter 2, the first supply shut-off valve 3, the pneumatic relief valve 4, the second supply shut-off valve 5, and the pressure regulating valve 6 to the supply outlet C2, and is supplied to the methanol dual-fuel engine.

[0087] When methanol is supplied, when the control box 40 receives the engine supply preparation signal, the fuel control system automatically executes the fuel leakage test procedure. The second pressure transmitter 26 is responsible for monitoring whether there is fuel leakage during the leakage test. After the test passes, the methanol fuel is regulated to the second supply shut-off valve 5.

[0088] After the pressure of the first pressure transmitter 24 meets the requirement and the control box 40 receives the supply permission signal, the first solenoid valve 18, the second solenoid valve 19 and the third solenoid valve 20 are energized to control the first supply stop valve 3 and the second supply stop valve 5 to open, the pneumatic relief valve 4 to close, and the pressure regulating valve 6 automatically opens to an appropriate degree according to the received 4-20mA. The third pressure transmitter 27 and the temperature transmitter 28 monitor the pressure and temperature of the methanol fuel after the pressure regulating valve to meet the pressure and flow requirements of the engine.

[0089] The difference between the first pressure transmitter 24 and the second pressure transmitter 26 is also used to monitor the pressure loss of the filter element 2. When the difference exceeds the system alarm value, the control box 40 automatically sends an alarm signal to remind the user to replace the filter element in time.

[0090] When control box 40 receives a signal to stop methanol supply, first, second, and third solenoid valves 18, 19, and 20 lose power, first and second supply shutoff valves 3, 5 reset and close, pneumatic relief valve 4 resets and opens, and pressure regulating valve 6 closes. At this point, methanol is normally supplied to first supply shutoff valve 3 of the control system, and first pressure transmitter 24 can monitor system pressure normally. The control system is in standby mode.

[0091] After the supply is stopped, the methanol fuel between the first and second supply shutoff valves 3 and 5 is released by gravity through the pneumatic relief valve 4 and the relief check valve 15 into the reflux line 34, and then through the reflux outlet C5 to the residual liquid collection tank. To prevent methanol in the relief line 36 from flowing back into the nitrogen line 33, a purge check valve 14 is installed downstream of the purge valve 11.

[0092] When control box 40 receives an emergency stop signal, such as a "fuel trip" signal caused by ventilation failure or methanol leakage, power is removed from first, second, and third solenoid valves 18, 19, and 20. First and second supply shutoff valves 3 and 5 return to their original positions, pneumatic relief valve 4 returns to its original position, and pressure regulating valve 6 closes. At this point, there is no pressure in control system supply line 32, and control box 40 automatically initiates a purge sequence.

[0093] When the control box 40 receives the purge signal, the control system automatically executes the inert gas purge program, and nitrogen enters the purge pipeline 33 from the purge inlet C3, passes through the manual stop valve 8, the purge filter 9, the first purge stop valve 10, the second purge stop valve 12, and the purge stop check valve 13 into the downstream of the second supply stop valve 5, and purges the methanol from the downstream of the second supply stop valve 5 to the engine.

[0094] During purging, fourth solenoid valve 21 is energized, opening first and second purge shutoff valves 10 and 12, closing purge relief valve 11, and opening pressure regulating valve 6. Methanol supplied downstream of shutoff valve 5 to the engine enters reflux line 34 through reflux inlet C4. Solenoid valve 22 is energized, opening reflux shutoff valve 7. The purged methanol then flows through reflux outlet C5 to the residual liquid collection tank.

[0095] A liquid collection pan 38 is installed below the supply line 32, purge line 33, return line 34, and drain line 36. In the event of a methanol fuel leak, the released methanol flows from the manual drain valve 23 through drain port C7 of drain line 37 to the residual liquid collection tank. When the drain valve level switch 31 detects a methanol leak, the system automatically issues a leak alarm.

[0096] The above is a detailed introduction to a marine methanol fuel control system and method provided in the embodiments of the present application. Specific examples are used in this application to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the technical solutions and core ideas of the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
