[0032] The working principle of the methanol injection system of the marine low-speed diesel engine with the air-tightness detection function is as follows:

[0033] During the air-tightness detection process, the methanol in the methanol injection system is sealed by using 16bar sealing oil for the whole process;

[0034] When testing, first, the low-pressure pipeline air tightness detection is carried out, the high-pressure pipeline 4 is removed in advance, that is, the connection between the double-wall pipe connecting port 31 on the methanol supercharging unit 3 and the methanol high-pressure pipe 41 is disconnected, and then the double-wall pipe connecting port 31 on the methanol supercharging unit 3 is plugged by using the plugging tool 10, so that the low-pressure loop formed by the methanol liquid inlet double-wall pipe 1, the methanol liquid return double-wall pipe 2 and the methanol supercharging unit 3 is subjected to the tightness test. When testing, the liquid inlet stop valve 5, the liquid return chain pipe valve 7 and the communication valve 8 are opened to make the methanol liquid inlet double-wall pipe 1 and the methanol liquid return double-wall pipe 2 communicate, and the required amount of fresh water satisfying the test water pressure is injected into the methanol liquid inlet double-wall pipe 1 through the fresh water supply system to simulate the methanol liquid inlet environment; after the water filling is completed, the liquid inlet stop valve 5 and the fresh water supply system are closed, and the timed pressure maintaining test is carried out. In the embodiment, the fresh water with a pressure of 13 bar is injected into the methanol injection system, and the pressure maintaining test time is preferably 10 minutes; after the pressure maintaining test is carried out for 10 minutes, the data of the plurality of methanol pressure detection sensors 11 are read through the host control detection system, and it is confirmed that the pressure drop of the inlet and return pipe pressure sensors is less than 0.1 bar, so that it is confirmed that the methanol liquid inlet double-wall pipe 1, the methanol liquid return double-wall pipe 2 and the liquid inlet stop valve 5, the liquid return chain pipe valve 7 and the communication valve 8 have good sealing performance; if the pressure drop is too large, it can be judged that there is a leakage in the pipeline in the methanol liquid inlet double-wall pipe 1 and the methanol liquid return double-wall pipe 2, and the leakage point can be checked through the outer pipeline at the bottom of the valve group or the outer pipeline of the methanol liquid inlet double-wall pipe 1 and the methanol liquid return double-wall pipe 2 to check the water leakage and repair; after the repair, the above operation is repeated to finally achieve the result that the pressure drop is 0.1 bar in 10 minutes, which meets the pump pressure drop requirement, so that the air tightness detection of the low-pressure pipeline is completed.

[0035] After the low-pressure pipeline detection is completed, the high-pressure pipeline 4 is connected with the methanol supercharging unit 3 to carry out the whole machine tightness test of the high-pressure pipeline 4. When testing, the liquid return stop valve 6 is opened to drain the water in the pipeline, and all the methanol high-pressure pipes 41 of the high-pressure pipeline 4 are connected with the methanol supercharging unit 3; after the water storage is drained, the liquid return stop valve 6 is closed and the liquid inlet stop valve 5 is opened, the required amount of fresh water satisfying the test water pressure is injected into the pipeline, and the amount of fresh water injected is also 13 bar. The pressure maintaining and air tightness test operation is repeated to further check the leakage point to the high-pressure pipeline 4 and the methanol injector 9, the air tightness detection of the high-pressure pipeline 4 is realized by reading the data of the plurality of methanol pressure detection sensors 11, and the pump pressure requirement that the pressure drop is 0.1 bar in 10 minutes is met, so that the air tightness detection of the high-pressure pipeline 4 is completed.
