AI Technical Summary
The existing design of sewage discharge pipes in the isolation compartments of LNG ships is prone to liquid accumulation and corrosion, leading to leakage, which affects ship safety and makes operation and maintenance difficult.
A novel sewage pipeline for isolating empty compartments of LNG ships is designed, employing an inverted U-shaped bend structure. Combined with a suction filter, a right-angle check valve, and a remote-controlled butterfly valve, it forms an upward suction drainage system to prevent sewage retention and backflow, simplifying maintenance.
It effectively prevents pipe corrosion, reduces residue blockage, lowers maintenance costs, ensures the system requires no hot work maintenance throughout its entire life cycle, and improves design quality and safety.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of offshore ship design and construction, and particularly relates to a new type of LNG ship isolation air cabin sewage pipeline. BACKGROUND
[0002] LNG transport ship is a ship specially transporting liquefied natural gas, is a "super refrigeration vehicle on the sea" carrying LNG of minus 163 degrees Celsius, and is praised as the "crown of the shipbuilding industry". Due to the particularity of the LNG transport ship, the safety and sealing requirements are extremely high, so the pipeline system and equipment design and construction have higher requirements. The isolation air cabin is a partition cabin between the front and rear liquid tanks of the LNG ship, and its main function is to put out fire, prevent explosion and prevent leakage. A sewage well and a sewage discharge pipeline are arranged at the tail of the isolation air cabin, the design requirements of the sewage discharge pipeline are higher than those of the conventional ship, the tightness and the durability of the pipeline need to be considered, and the corrosion needs to be reduced, so that the design and construction difficulty is increased. In order to solve this practical problem, a new type of sewage pipeline discharge structure reducing corrosion is designed.
[0003] The sewage well discharge pipeline of the conventional design LNG isolation air cabin is arranged at the bottom of the sewage well of the isolation air cabin, that is, the discharge pipe is arranged in a lower leakage mode. This design is easy to drop into the pipeline and has accumulated liquid in the pipeline during the shipbuilding and later operation, and it is not convenient to clean and maintain after a long time, the pipeline is easy to corrode, and leakage is caused. It has a great influence on the normal operation of the ship and has a certain safety risk. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a new type of LNG ship isolation air cabin sewage pipeline, which adopts the technical scheme of:
[0005] A new type of LNG ship isolation air cabin sewage pipeline, a sewage well of the isolation air cabin is arranged below the isolation air cabin, a discharge pipe extends into the sewage well of the isolation air cabin, a suction filter screen is fixed at the bottom end of the discharge pipe, the suction filter screen is of a split type and is installed at the lower end of the suction pipe through a clamp, the top end of the discharge pipe extends and bends upward, penetrates the inner bottom plate of the isolation air cabin into the pipe tunnel cabin, and is merged into the bottom water main of the pipe tunnel cabin.
[0006] A right-angle check valve is arranged at the position where the discharge pipe extends out of the top plate of the sewage well of the isolation air cabin, a cabin access plate is arranged at the position where the inner bottom plate of the isolation air cabin is penetrated by the discharge pipe, and a remote control butterfly valve is arranged in the discharge pipe before the discharge pipe merges into the bottom water main of the pipe tunnel cabin.
[0007] The new type of LNG ship isolation air cabin sewage pipeline is further provided with a right-angle check valve arranged at the right-angle bending position of the discharge pipe.
[0008] The novel LNG ship isolation cabin sewage pipeline further has the following characteristics: the right-angle check valve is 200 mm away from the top plate of the isolation cabin sewage well.
[0009] The novel LNG ship isolation cabin sewage pipeline further has the following characteristics: the opening diameter of the isolation cabin top plate where the discharge pipe is located is 180 mm.
[0010] The novel LNG ship isolation cabin sewage pipeline further has the following characteristics: the suction filter screen is located at the bottom of the isolation cabin sewage well.
[0011] With the structure of the present application, the discharge pipes of the isolation cabin sewage well all adopt the upper suction type, forming a pipe structure with a reverse U-shaped bend, and the sewage is discharged in this way, so that the pipe does not store sewage after the sewage is discharged, and the corrosion risk problem caused by the stored sewage to the pipe is solved, and the upper suction type pipe structure effectively solves the problem that the previous lower suction discharge method is easy to enter residual slag and be blocked, fully considers the later maintenance and maintenance, improves the design quality, ensures that the pipe system does not need to be repaired by fire during the whole life cycle, and reduces the operating cost of the ship.
