Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the low -speed machine test bed auxiliary machine system technical field of marine belongs to and relates to a kind of pressurized air cooler circulating cooling water systems for low-speed machine test bed. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the test running of the low-speed engine, the inlet temperature and outlet temperature of the circulating cooling water passing through the pressurized air cooler are required, wherein the inlet temperature of the circulating cooling water cannot be lower than a certain design value of the corresponding engine model, and the outlet temperature of the circulating cooling water cannot be higher than a certain design value of the corresponding engine model. When the inlet or outlet temperature of the circulating cooling water passing through the pressurized air cooler exceeds the design value of the corresponding low-speed engine, the air temperature sucked into the cylinder of the low-speed engine will be too low or too high, which will directly affect the performance indicators of the low-speed engine, such as combustion efficiency, oil consumption, emission and power output. The over-cooled air entering the cylinder can even cause poor lubrication between the piston and the cylinder sleeve.

However, experienced testers are required to adjust the valve according to different engine models and different working conditions, and the test process needs to be adjusted manually several times.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-2The application discloses a circulating cooling water system for a turbocharger test bench, which comprises an outer circulating cooling water supply pipe, a turbocharger circulating water inlet, a turbocharger circulating water outlet and an outer circulating cooling water return pipe which are sequentially connected by a main circulating pipe. Specifically, the cooling water supply pipe 14 is connected to the outer circulating cooling water supply pipe and the turbocharger circulating water inlet to guide the cooling water into the turbocharger. The cooling water return pipe 16 is connected to the turbocharger circulating water outlet and the outer circulating cooling water return pipe to guide the cooling water return in the turbocharger. The water supply bypass pipe 15 is connected to the cooling water supply pipe 14 near the turbocharger circulating water inlet at one end and connected to the cooling water return pipe 16 near the turbocharger circulating water outlet at the other end to guide part of the cooling water supply according to the actual situation, so as to adjust the flow and pressure of the cooling water supply. The water return bypass pipe 17 is connected to the cooling water supply pipe 14 near the outer circulating cooling water supply pipe at one end and connected to the outer circulating cooling water return pipe at the other end to introduce the cooling water return and mix with the cooling water supply, so as to adjust the cooling water temperature by using the heat energy of the cooling water return.

[0031] Further, the cooling water supply pipe 14 is provided with a secondary circulating module 23 and a circulating water preheating module 24.

[0032] In a possible embodiment, the secondary circulating module 23 comprises a first water supply sub-pipe 18, a second water supply sub-pipe 19 and a third water supply sub-pipe 20 which are branched from the cooling water supply pipe 14. The first water supply sub-pipe 18 is provided with a first electric gate valve 8. The second water supply sub-pipe 19 is provided with a filter 1 and a secondary circulating pump 2, and the third water supply sub-pipe 20 is provided with a filter 1 and a secondary circulating pump 2. The second water supply sub-pipe 19 and the third water supply sub-pipe 20 are mutual backups.

[0033] Specifically, the secondary circulating pump 2 can adopt a marine variable frequency centrifugal pump to provide power for introducing the circulating cooling water return and realize the recirculation of part of the circulating cooling water return. The flow of the secondary circulating pump is determined according to the model of the tested low-speed engine which has the largest demand for the turbocharger circulating cooling water, and the application does not make specific limitation here.

[0034] The filter 1 can filter the circulating cooling water to protect the secondary circulating pump 2, the circulating water preheating pump 3, the preheater 4 and the flow meter 5 and the like. Pressure sensors 10 can be installed before and after the filter 1 to monitor the pressure difference before and after the filter 1. When the pressure difference reaches a preset value, the system will issue an alarm to prompt the operator to clean or replace the filter 1 in time.

[0035] Optionally, the cooling water supply pipe 14 is also provided with a flow meter 5 near the inlet of the supercharged air cooler circulating water. The flow meter 5 can be an electromagnetic flow meter or a turbine flow meter, which monitors the flow of the circulating cooling water of the supercharged air cooler at all times and transmits the data to the auxiliary system control room, assisting the system in adjusting the flow of the circulating cooling water.

[0036] To improve the reliability and safety of the circulating cooling water temperature control system of the supercharged air cooler of the low-speed engine test stand, redundant devices can be added to each sub-circulating pipe. For example, a backup electric valve or a manual valve can be provided on the first water supply sub-pipe 18 in addition to the first electric valve 8, so as to be used in case of failure of the main valve. A flow meter 5 and a pressure sensor 10 can also be installed in each sub-circulating pipe to monitor the water flow and automatically adjust the working state of the pump. In this way, the flow rate can be adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring the operating efficiency of the entire system.

[0037] In a possible embodiment, the circulating water preheating module 24 includes a circulating water preheating pipe 21 branched from the cooling water supply pipe 14 and a fourth water supply sub-pipe 22. The circulating water preheating pipe 21 is provided with a circulating water preheating pump 3 and a preheater 4. The fourth water supply sub-pipe 22 is provided with a second electric valve 9.

[0038] Specifically, the circulating water preheating pump 3 is a centrifugal pump, which can pressurize the circulating cooling water and enter the preheater 4 for preheating when the temperature of the external circulating cooling water supply is lower than the minimum inlet temperature of the supercharged air cooler circulating cooling water. The preheating pump flow rate is determined according to the maximum test engine type, the amount of circulating water contained in the pipe and the low-speed engine, and the required preheating time.

[0039] The preheater 4 is a pipe-type preheater, which preheats the circulating cooling water to meet the requirements of the external circulating cooling water supply temperature at the inlet of the supercharged air cooler. The power of the preheater is determined according to the possible minimum temperature, maximum flow rate, preheating efficiency and preheating time of the circulating cooling water.

[0040] Optionally, the cooling water supply pipe 14 is provided with a pressure sensor 10 and a temperature sensor 11 near the inlet of the supercharged air cooler circulating water. The cooling water return pipe 16 is provided with a temperature sensor 12 near the outlet of the supercharged air cooler circulating water to detect the temperature of the cooling water return.

[0041] Optionally, the water supply bypass pipe 15 is also provided with an electric regulating valve 6, which can automatically or manually adjust the valve opening according to different engine types before the test.

[0042] Optionally, flow meters 5 and pressure sensors 10 are installed on each sub-circulation water preheating pipeline to monitor the water flow status in real time and adjust the speed of the preheating pump or open / close the valve to maintain stable operation of the system.

[0043] In one possible embodiment, a third electric gate valve 13 is provided on the cooling water return pipeline 16. In a multi-path or multi-stage system, the direction or distribution ratio of the water flow can be switched by controlling the first electric gate valve 8 or the second electric gate valve 9 or the third electric gate valve 13. Further, the electric valve gate is usually equipped with an actuator and a control system, which can remotely control the opening and closing state of the valve. This enables the system to automatically adjust the operating parameters according to the preset conditions or sensor feedback, improving the convenience and response speed of operation.

[0044] It should be noted here that the circulation pipeline, the secondary circulation pump 2, the circulation water preheating pump 3 and the preheater 4 are all configured according to the maximum power low-speed engine test requirements of the test bench. The present application does not make specific limitations here. Moreover, before the test of different power low-speed engines, the circulation water flow into the supercharged air cooler can be adjusted by observing the flow meters 5 and automatically or manually controlling the electric valve gate to meet the requirements of the corresponding test engine model.

[0045] In order to better regulate the circulation water temperature in the circulation cooling water temperature control system of the supercharged air cooler for the low-speed engine test bench, an electric three-way temperature control regulating valve 7 is connected between the cooling water feed pipeline 14 and the return bypass pipeline 17. The electric three-way temperature control regulating valve 7 has two inlets and one outlet, one of which is connected to the cooling water feed from the external circulation cooling water feed pipeline, and the other is connected to the cooling water return from the return bypass pipeline 17. During the test of the low-speed engine, when the temperature of the external circulation water feed is lower than the minimum inlet temperature of the circulation water of the supercharged air cooler of the low-speed engine, the electric three-way temperature control regulating valve 7 starts to work and mixes part of the cooling water return with the cooling water feed. By changing the relative flow ratio between the two inlets, the temperature of the mixed water can be accurately adjusted, and then part of the circulation cooling water return is mixed with the external circulation cooling water feed through the electric three-way temperature control regulating valve 7, the temperature of the mixed external circulation cooling water feed is detected by the temperature sensor, and the opening degree of the electric three-way temperature control valve is further controlled, thereby realizing the real-time regulation of the inlet temperature of the circulation water of the supercharged air cooler.

[0046] Through setting temperature sensors at various pipelines, the cooling water supply temperature t1 at the outer circulation cooling water supply, the mixed water temperature t5 after the electric three-way temperature control regulating valve 7, the cooling water temperature t6 after the preheating of the circulation water preheating pipeline 21, the cooling water temperature t3 input into the turbocharger air cooler, the return water temperature t4 from the turbocharger air cooler, the return water temperature t2 after being delivered into the return water bypass pipeline 17 through the cooling water return pipeline 16 can be obtained, so that the water temperatures at various positions in the cooling water circulation system can be monitored in all directions.

[0047] In a possible implementation, the circulation cooling water temperature control system of the turbocharger air cooler for the low-speed engine test bench further comprises a control unit. The control unit can remotely transmit the outer circulation cooling water supply temperature, flow, pressure of the circulation cooling water temperature control system of the turbocharger air cooler for the low-speed engine test bench, and the start-stop of the secondary circulation pump 2 and the circulation water preheating pump 3, the state of the electric three-way temperature control regulating valve 7, and the opening degree data of the first electric gate valve 8, the second electric gate valve 9, and the third electric gate valve 13 to the auxiliary machine system control room, so that the start-stop of the secondary circulation pump 2, the circulation water preheating pump 3, and the preheater 4 can be controlled in the control room or on site, the opening degree or start-stop of the electric gate valve can be automatically adjusted according to different engine types in the control room or on site, the real-time monitoring data can be displayed, and the prompting and alarming functions can be realized. The control unit can realize the automatic control of the flow and temperature of the turbocharger air cooler circulation water inlet.

[0048] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limited. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the purpose and scope of the present application, and all should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
