Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of new energy ship technology, and specifically discloses a water circulation system inside a new energy ship hull. Background Technology

[0002] New energy ships refer to vessels that use non-traditional energy sources as their power source or auxiliary energy source. Currently, electric ships are the main type, relying entirely on the electrical energy stored in batteries to drive electric motors, thus enabling the ship to navigate. Pure electric ships have advantages such as no pollution, low noise, and ease of operation, making them suitable for inland waterways, lakes, and some short-distance maritime navigation scenarios, such as port operation vessels and inland river cruise ships.

[0003] Key equipment in new energy ships, such as batteries and motors, generate a large amount of heat during operation. If heat cannot be dissipated effectively and in a timely manner, excessively high temperatures can lead to performance degradation, shortened lifespan, and even malfunctions or damage. Furthermore, batteries and electrical equipment in new energy ships are prone to fire in high-temperature environments. Therefore, a cooling system is typically an indispensable component of new energy ships, playing a crucial role in ensuring normal equipment operation, improving energy efficiency, guaranteeing navigation safety, and adapting to different navigation environments.

[0004] Currently, heat dissipation in new energy ships typically involves installing fans or water cooling systems in the battery compartment or various equipment compartments. In the enclosed engine room, the heat dissipation performance of the water cooling system is significantly better than that of the fan. However, in current water cooling systems, river water is usually drawn, filtered, and then used to cool the electrical equipment. The heated water is then discharged back into the river, which not only increases the cost of water treatment but also causes heat loss and energy waste. Therefore, the inventors have proposed a water circulation system inside the hull of a new energy ship to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that when traditional new energy ships use water cooling systems for heat dissipation, the heated water is discharged into the river, resulting in heat loss and energy waste.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model provides a water circulation system inside a new energy ship hull, comprising:

[0007] Cooling pipes are used to cool the electrical equipment of new energy ships. The cooling pipes are equipped with circulating pumps that drive the flow of the medium inside the cooling pipes.

[0008] The insulation box is connected to the cooling pipe, and the insulation box is equipped with a water pump that can extract the medium inside the insulation box;

[0009] A heat exchanger connected to the insulation box via a water pump, with a return pipe connected to the cooling pipe at the other end of the heat exchanger;

[0010] Several heat exchange branch pipes connected to the heat exchanger.

[0011] Furthermore, a filter box is provided between the insulation box and the heat exchanger. The filter box contains a filter screen to filter the medium entering the heat exchanger, and a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the filter box.

[0012] Furthermore, the reflux pipe is also equipped with a temperature monitor and a temperature regulator.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two temperature monitors, each located at one end of the temperature regulator.

[0014] Furthermore, the return pipe is also provided with a compensation pipe that is connected to the cooling pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, the heat exchanger is provided with several baffles, which divide the heat exchanger into several heat exchange chambers, and the heat exchange branch pipes are respectively connected to each heat exchange chamber.

[0016] Furthermore, the heat exchanger cavity is provided with a spiral guide plate.

[0017] The principle and effect of this solution are as follows:

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this invention stores the heated medium in the cooling pipes within an insulated box, thus storing the heat within the medium. A water pump then draws the liquid from the insulated box to a heat exchanger and heat exchange branch pipes for heat exchange, thereby heating the medium within the branch pipes. This heated medium can then be used for daily operation on the new energy vessel. Furthermore, this invention employs multiple heat exchange chambers and multiple heat exchange branch pipes, allowing for water supply to different cabins and enabling the medium within the branch pipes to be heated to different temperatures for various operating environments. Moreover, this invention uses a temperature monitor to track the temperature of the medium discharged from the heat exchange pipes and a temperature regulator to further adjust the medium's temperature, allowing it to be used again to cool various electrical equipment on the new energy vessel. This effectively solves the problem of heat loss and energy waste caused by the discharge of heated water into rivers when using traditional water-cooling systems on new energy vessels.

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: radiator 1, circulating pump 2, insulation box 3, water pump 4, filter box 5, heat exchanger 6, shell 601, water inlet port 602, water outlet port 603, heat exchange cylinder 604, baffle plate 605, guide plate 606, branch pipe water inlet interface 607, branch pipe water outlet interface 608, front temperature monitor 7, temperature regulator 8, rear temperature monitor 9, drain pipe 10, compensation pipe 11, and heat exchange branch pipe 12.

[0024] A new energy ship hull internal water circulation system, implementing, for example Figure 1 As shown: It includes a cooling pipe for cooling the electrical equipment of the new energy ship, an insulation box 3 connected to the cooling pipe, a heat exchanger 6 connected to the insulation box 3, and several heat exchange branch pipes 12 connected to the heat exchanger 6.

[0025] The cooling pipes are interconnected with the radiators 1 of various electrical devices via multiple branch pipes, and converge together. A circulation pump 2 is installed on the cooling pipes to drive the flow of the medium within them. In this embodiment, the medium within the cooling pipes is filtered river water. The circulation pump 2 on the cooling pipes drives the flow of the river water within them.

[0026] The insulated box 3 is connected to the outlet of the circulating pump 2, and the insulated box 3 is equipped with a water pump 4. The water pipe on the inlet of the water pump 4 extends to the bottom of the insulated box 3. The outlet of the water pump 4 is connected to a filter box 5. The filter box 5 is equipped with a filter screen for filtering river water, and the bottom of the filter box 5 is equipped with a discharge pipe 10.

[0027] The outlet of the filter box 5 is connected to a heat exchanger 6. The heat exchanger 6 has multiple heat exchange branch pipes 12, each exchanging heat with the river water flowing through it. The outlet of the heat exchanger 6 is connected to a return pipe, through which the river water flows back into the radiator 1 of the electrical equipment. The return pipe has two temperature monitors and one temperature regulator 8. The two temperature monitors, a front temperature monitor 7 and a rear temperature monitor 9, are located at opposite ends of the temperature regulator 8, both using temperature sensors. The temperature regulator 8 is a semiconductor cooling plate used for... The river water in the return pipe is cooled again. The return pipe is also equipped with a compensation pipe 11 that is connected to the cooling pipe. The connection between the compensation pipe 11 and the return pipe is located between the post-temperature monitor 9 and the temperature regulator 8. It is used to supply filtered river water to the radiator 1 and check the water quality of the river water in the return pipe. Electrically controlled valves are installed between the circulation pump 2 and the insulation box 3, between the water pump 4 and the filter box 5, between the filter box 5 and the heat exchanger 6, between the temperature regulator 8 and the compensation pipe 11, between the compensation pipe 11 and the post-temperature monitor 9, the compensation pipe 11, and the discharge pipe 10.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchanger 6 includes a shell 601, an inlet port 602 and an outlet port 603 respectively located at both ends of the shell 601, a heat exchange cylinder 604 between the inlet port 602 and the outlet port 603, and a number of baffles 605 disposed inside the heat exchanger 6. The baffles 605 divide the heat exchanger 6 into a number of heat exchange chambers. Each heat exchanger 6 chamber is provided with a spiral guide plate 606. The heat exchange branch pipes 12 are connected to each heat exchange chamber through the branch pipe inlet port 607 and the branch pipe outlet port 608 respectively. The medium in each heat exchange branch pipe 12 is domestic water.

[0029] After being heated by heat exchanger 6, the river water enters the heat exchange cylinder 604 of heat exchanger 6 and exchanges heat with the domestic water in each heat exchange chamber. As the river water flows along the heat exchange cylinder 604, the temperature of the river water gradually decreases, which causes the temperature of the domestic water undergoing heat exchange to also decrease, thereby heating the domestic water in each heat exchange branch pipe 12 to different temperatures.

[0030] This embodiment uses an insulated box 3 to store the heated medium in the cooling pipe, thus storing the heat within the medium. A water pump 4 then draws the liquid from the insulated box 3 to a heat exchanger 6 to exchange heat with the heat exchange branch pipe 12, thereby heating the medium in the heat exchange branch pipe 12. This heated medium can then be used for daily operation on the new energy vessel. Furthermore, this embodiment employs multiple heat exchange chambers and multiple heat exchange branch pipes 12, which can not only supply water to different cabins but also heat the medium in the heat exchange branch pipes 12 to different temperatures for various operating environments. Moreover, the embodiment uses a temperature monitor to monitor the temperature of the medium discharged from the heat exchange pipes and a temperature regulator 8 to further regulate the medium. This lowers the medium temperature, allowing it to be used again to cool various electrical equipment on the new energy vessel. This effectively solves the problem of heat loss and energy waste caused by the discharge of heated water into rivers when traditional water-cooling systems are used on new energy vessels.
