Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Under the trend of pursuing energy saving, environmental protection and improving applicability, more and more ship owners not only require new ships, but also hope to retrofit existing ships by adding exhaust gas boilers, denitration devices, desulfurization devices and other energy recovery system devices on the engine exhaust pipe.

In addition, the arrangement of the exhaust pipeline usually includes corrugated expansion joints, elbows, transition pipes, control valves, branch pipe joints and other pipeline accessories. The resistance coefficients of these accessories are large, which will further increase the local resistance loss. The specific situation is shown in Figure 1 The above factors superimpose each other, resulting in a significant increase in the total resistance of the exhaust pipeline system, which eventually leads to the exhaust back pressure value at the engine outlet exceeding the range specified by the equipment manufacturer.

This undoubtedly has a negative impact on the economy, applicability and environmental protection of the ship, and limits the improvement of the comprehensive performance of the ship.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an exhaust back pressure control device for a marine engine, comprising a first connecting pipe 1, one end of which is connected to an engine 2 for collecting and discharging exhaust gas after the engine 2 has been running; the first connecting pipe 1 is sequentially connected to an energy recovery device 3 and a cleaning device 4, the energy recovery device 3 being connected to the end of the first connecting pipe 1 facing away from the engine 2, thereby recovering the waste heat and kinetic energy of the exhaust gas from the engine 2, improving the thermal efficiency of the engine 2, and also improving the economy of the engine 2; the cleaning device 4 is connected to the outlet of the energy recovery device 3, thereby cleaning the exhaust gas before discharge to meet environmental standards and ensuring the environmental friendliness of the engine 2; a negative pressure device 5 is provided at the end of the exhaust device, the negative pressure device 5 being located at the outlet of the cleaning device 4, the negative pressure device 5 reducing the pressure in the space facing the cleaning device 4 to promote the discharge of exhaust gas.

[0032] The negative pressure device 5 is arranged at the end of the exhaust pipe of the ship engine 2, so that the exhaust gas discharged by the engine 2 is forced to be discharged after being pressurized in the pipeline, and low pressure is generated at the suction inlet end, and a certain vacuum degree is formed. The arrangement of the negative pressure device 5 can make up for the local resistance loss of the exhaust gas in the exhaust pipeline, so that the exhaust back pressure value at the outlet of the engine 2 is within the range specified by the equipment manufacturer, so that a plurality of required devices, such as the exhaust gas cleaning device 4 and the energy recovery device 3, can be installed in the exhaust pipeline, and the working performance of the engine 2 is not affected, the user's demand is met to the greatest extent, and the economy, applicability and environmental protection of the ship are ensured, so that the comprehensive performance of the ship is improved. Without the need for pipeline modification, the manufacturing and use cost of the engine 2 exhaust system is low, and the practicability of the ship can be greatly improved; by using the negative pressure device 5, the exhaust back pressure of the engine 2 can also be reduced, the fuel combustion efficiency of the engine 2 is improved, the fuel consumption rate is reduced, and the power capacity of the engine 2 is improved.

[0033] In some embodiments of the utility model, the negative pressure device 5 includes a vacuum fan, the outlet of the vacuum fan is arranged towards the air outlet direction, the vacuum fan forces the exhaust gas in the pipeline to be discharged after being pressurized by high-speed operation, and low pressure is generated at the suction inlet end, and a certain vacuum degree is formed. The vacuum fan is arranged at the outlet end of the exhaust pipeline, and the temperature of the outlet end of the exhaust pipeline is the lowest, so that the temperature of the vacuum fan can be prevented from being too high, and the service life and working reliability of the vacuum fan are improved.

[0034] The flue gas discharged by the engine 2 reaches the inlet of the vacuum fan after passing through the first connecting pipeline 1, the energy recovery device 3 and the cleaning device 4, and is discharged to the atmosphere from the exhaust outlet under the power action of the rotating impeller. During the flue gas discharge process, the flue gas is subjected to the damping of the pipeline and the above-mentioned devices and pipeline accessories, respectively, and generates a certain total back pressure Pb=P1+P2+P3+…+Pi along the pipeline, as shown in the formula. Figure 2 As can be seen from the formula, if the pressure of any point is changed, the total back pressure Pb will change accordingly. By adding a vacuum fan at a certain position of the exhaust pipeline, the pressure in the pipeline at the certain position can be changed.

[0035] When the vacuum fan is running, the impeller accelerates the gas at the inlet of the vacuum fan, thereby forming a certain vacuum negative pressure Pv at the inlet of the vacuum fan, and the Pv changes with the change of the rotating speed n of the fan impeller, as shown in the formula. Figure 3 After the vacuum fan is installed, Pb=P1+P2+P3+…+Pi-Pv at this time, thereby reducing the value of Pb. As can be seen from the calculation formula, if the flue gas flow is constant, P1+P2+P3+…+Pi will be a constant value, and if the value of Pv is changed, the value of Pb will change accordingly. By changing the rotating speed of the vacuum fan, the value of Pv can be changed, the adjustment of Pb is realized, and the back pressure required by the engine 2 for exhaust is achieved.

[0036] In some embodiments of the utility model, the outlet of vacuum fan is connected with horn exhaust 6, the diameter of horn exhaust 6 gradually increases along the air outlet direction. The outlet gas flow rate of horn exhaust 6 reduces, and its outlet resistance reduces, so that the working efficiency of vacuum fan can be improved. The characteristic of vacuum fan is that: under certain working condition, assuming that its flow rate is a fixed value, the pressure difference ΔP=P 出口 -P 进口 of its inlet and outlet is also a constant value, if the outlet pressure P 出口 of vacuum fan is reduced, the pressure P 进口 of its inlet also reduces, that is, the vacuum degree of its inlet further improves, so that the working efficiency of vacuum fan is ensured.

[0037] In some embodiments of the utility model, pressure sensor 11 is arranged in first connecting pipeline 1, pressure sensor 11 is electrically connected with frequency conversion control box 7, and frequency conversion control box 7 is electrically connected with vacuum fan. The total back pressure Pb of flue gas pipeline is measured by pressure sensor 11 installed at the outlet of engine 2 and is converted into an electric signal and sent to frequency conversion control box 7, frequency conversion control box 7 converts the received back pressure electric signal into control data through software and transmits to the motor of vacuum fan, so that the rotating speed of the motor is controlled in frequency conversion, so that the vacuum degree at the inlet of vacuum fan is changed, the exhaust back pressure value Pb at the outlet of engine 2 is always stabilized within the range value specified by the equipment manufacturer, and the excessive vacuum degree generated on the exhaust pipe can be prevented to affect the normal operation of the inlet and exhaust valves of engine 2.

[0038] In some embodiments of the utility model, cleaning device 4 includes first denitration device 41 and second desulfurization device 42, the denitration device is used to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and improve the environmental protection of engine 2, second connecting pipeline 43 is arranged between first denitration device 41 and second desulfurization device 42, and multiple groups of cleaning devices are arranged in stages to purify exhaust gas and further reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides.

[0039] In some embodiments of the utility model, corrugated expansion joint 44 is arranged in second connecting pipeline 43. During the operation of the exhaust device, the temperature of the discharged gas is usually high, according to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the pipeline will elongate due to heating. Corrugated expansion joint 44, as a flexible element, can deform axially, transversely or angularly, and absorb the elongation through its elastic deformation, so as to avoid damage of the pipeline due to excessive thermal stress. The corrugated pipe structure inside corrugated expansion joint 44 has a certain elasticity and can effectively buffer and absorb the vibration. It can convert the mechanical vibration in the pipeline system into the elastic deformation energy of the corrugated pipe, so as to reduce the transmission of vibration. At the same time, by changing the propagation medium and propagation path of sound wave, the propagation of noise can also be reduced.

[0040] In some embodiments of the utility model, still be provided with control valve 45 in second connecting pipe, control valve 45 can control the opening and closing of second connecting pipe 43 between first denitration device 41 and second desulfurization device 42 in emergency (such as when vacuum fan fails), make the gas after first denitration device 41 can not pass through second desulfurization device 42, by other path exhaust.

[0041] In some embodiments of the utility model, energy recovery device 3 includes exhaust gas boiler, and exhaust gas usually contains high heat energy.The working principle of exhaust gas boiler is that high-temperature exhaust gas passes through the heating surface of the boiler, and heat is transferred to the water in the boiler, so that the water is converted into steam.The recovered steam can be used to heat fuel oil, domestic water, etc., reducing the demand for additional energy of the ship and reducing operating costs.

[0042] The utility model provides a kind of ship engine 2, including the exhaust back pressure control device of any one of above embodiment of ship engine 2.In the exhaust pipe end of ship engine 2, negative pressure device 5 is arranged, so that the exhaust gas discharged by engine 2 is forcedly discharged after being pressurized, and low pressure is generated at the suction inlet end thereof, forming a certain vacuum degree.The arrangement of negative pressure device 5 can compensate for the local resistance loss of exhaust gas in the exhaust pipeline, so that the exhaust back pressure value at the outlet of engine 2 is within the range specified by the equipment manufacturer, so that multiple required devices, such as exhaust gas cleaning device 4 and energy recovery device 3, can be installed in the exhaust pipeline without affecting the operating performance of engine 2, thereby maximizing user demand, ensuring the economy, applicability and environmental friendliness of the ship, and improving the overall performance of the ship.

[0043] The working process of the utility model is as follows: negative pressure device 5 is arranged at the end of the exhaust pipe of ship engine 2, so that the exhaust gas discharged by engine 2 is forcedly discharged after being pressurized in the pipeline, and low pressure is generated at the suction inlet end thereof, forming a certain vacuum degree.The arrangement of negative pressure device 5 can compensate for the local resistance loss of exhaust gas in the exhaust pipeline, so that the exhaust back pressure value at the outlet of engine 2 is within the range specified by the equipment manufacturer, so that multiple required devices, such as exhaust gas cleaning device 4 and energy recovery device 3, can be installed in the exhaust pipeline without affecting the operating performance of engine 2.
