Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of methanol fuel blending, and in particular to a methanol fuel blending tank. Background Technology

[0002] With the continued growth of global energy demand and increasingly stringent environmental requirements, finding clean, efficient and economical alternative fuels has become a key issue in the energy sector. Methanol fuel has gradually emerged due to its unique advantages and has secured a place among many alternative energy solutions. Correspondingly, the research and optimization of methanol fuel blending tanks has also become crucial.

[0003] Traditional fossil fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, not only have limited reserves, but their long-term and large-scale use has also caused serious environmental pollution problems, including global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions and damage to air quality caused by harmful substances in exhaust fumes. Methanol, as a new type of fuel, has a wide range of sources. It can be produced by converting fossil resources such as coal and natural gas into syngas, or it can be produced by fermentation from renewable raw materials such as biomass. It effectively alleviates the dependence on traditional crude oil resources and is in line with the sustainable energy development strategy.

[0004] Methanol has excellent combustion performance and high combustion efficiency, releasing considerable energy. Its combustion products are cleaner than those of traditional fuels, with the main emissions being carbon dioxide and water, while nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions are significantly reduced. This helps improve local air quality and reduce environmental problems such as smog. Moreover, methanol is relatively inexpensive and has a certain cost competitiveness compared to traditional fuels such as gasoline and diesel, providing an economically feasible basis for large-scale commercial application.

[0005] However, the widespread application of methanol fuel does not solely rely on its inherent advantages. Precise blending is the core element to ensure its efficient and stable use, and fuel blending tanks are used as an auxiliary operation when blending methanol fuel.

[0006] However, current fuel blending tanks are used to add methanol and other raw materials for blending operations. In hot environments, especially when the blending tank is placed in a place without good ventilation, the high ambient temperature may cause the heat dissipation rate of the blending tank to be much lower than the heat absorption rate. At the same time, in cold environments, if the heating system is not powerful enough, it will not be able to heat the materials in the tank to the required temperature, which will affect the raw material blending process inside the blending tank.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a methanol fuel blending tank to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

A methanol fuel blending tank includes:

[0036] The mixing tank body 1 has a temperature control component 2 on its surface. The temperature control component 2 includes two liquid storage tanks 21 and a connecting pipe 22 connecting the two liquid storage tanks 21.

[0037] Mounting frame 3 is located at the bottom of the mixing tank body 1, and a conveying device 4 is located below the mounting frame 3;

[0038] A connecting pipe 5 is disposed between one of the liquid storage tanks 21 and the conveying device 4.

[0039] Two liquid storage covers 21 are fitted onto the surface of the mixing tank body 1 and fixed to the liquid storage covers 21 with bolts. The inside of the liquid storage covers 21 is hollow.

[0040] Composition of the main body 1 of the mixing tank:

[0041] Tank body:

[0042] The tank body of the methanol fuel blending tank is the core component, and it is generally made of stainless steel (such as 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel). 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and can resist the chemical corrosion that may be caused by methanol fuel; 316 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance and is especially suitable for use in environments containing impurities or in harsh environments.

[0043] Stirring device:

[0044] The stirring device is crucial for the uniform blending of methanol fuel. It typically includes a stirring motor, a stirring shaft, and a stirring paddle. The stirring motor provides power, which drives the stirring shaft to rotate the stirring paddle.

[0045] Inlet and outlet:

[0046] The feed inlet is used to input methanol and other additives. There are usually multiple feed inlets to allow for the addition of different components. For example, one is for adding methanol and another is for adding additives such as combustion improvers. The feed inlet is usually equipped with a valve to facilitate the control of the feed rate and amount. The discharge outlet is located at the bottom of the tank to facilitate the discharge of the prepared methanol fuel. The discharge outlet is also equipped with a valve and is usually connected to a pipeline to transport the prepared fuel to the storage container or the equipment in use.

[0047] Level gauges and thermometers:

[0048] The level gauge is used to monitor the level of methanol fuel in the tank, and the thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the fuel in the tank.

[0049] The conveying device 4 includes a housing 41, and a conveying pump 42 is installed on one side of the housing 41.

[0050] The input and output ends of the delivery pump 42 are both connected to delivery pipes 43, and one end of each delivery pipe 43 is connected to the housing 41 and the other liquid storage hood 21, respectively.

[0051] A filling pipe 6 is connected to one side of the box 41.

[0052] A heating wire is installed inside the housing 41, and a control box is installed on the surface of the housing 41. The control box can control the heating wire to heat the liquid, and at the same time, a temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the liquid inside the housing 41. The control box can adjust the conditions inside the housing 41 and the temperature inside the mixing tank body 1. When adjusting the temperature inside the mixing tank body 1, the delivery pump 42 is started to deliver the liquid inside the housing 41 to one of the liquid storage tanks 21 through two delivery pipes 43, and then to the other liquid storage tank 21 through the connecting pipe 22. Then, it is delivered to the housing 41 through the connecting pipe 5 for circulation, thereby adjusting the temperature of the mixing tank body 1.
