Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freshwater supply technology for offshore platforms, specifically to a frequency conversion control freshwater supply system for offshore platforms. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the water needs of personnel on offshore platforms for production and daily life, all offshore platforms are equipped with freshwater supply systems. In addition to providing drinking water for personnel, these systems also supply freshwater for equipment cooling, laboratories, work areas, eyewash stations, fire protection systems, chemical injection systems, and equipment and facility flushing. Typically, cold water for domestic use on offshore platforms is supplied by pressurized water tanks; hot water is generally supplied by electric heating tube tanks. The freshwater pumps and hot water circulation pumps in these systems are generally controlled by industrial frequency.
[0003] For example, a hot water supply system for a living quarters on an offshore platform, with application number CN202320485321.X and authorization announcement date of 20230915, includes a pressure tank. The output pipe of the pressure tank is divided into a supply water pipe and a cold water pipe via a T-junction. The supply water pipe is further divided into an A1 supply water pipe and a B1 supply water pipe via a T-junction. Both the A1 and B1 supply water pipes are interconnected with the hot water pipe. This utility model includes an A1 supply water pipe, a C1 pressure control valve, and a hot water circulation pump. During peak water usage, the internal pressure drops due to the reduced return water volume in the return pipeline. When the pressure drops to the preset value of the C1 pressure control valve, the C1 pressure control valve opens, replenishing fresh water to the hot water circulation pump through the A1 supply water pipe. This ensures stable pressure in the hot water circulation system and solves the problem of insufficient hot water volume and pressure during peak water usage periods, which prevents high-rise residents from using hot water smoothly.
[0004] The aforementioned freshwater supply systems, as well as those in the existing technology, have large footprints, high investment costs, high failure rates, large pipeline impact loads, low levels of intelligence, low efficiency, and low energy-saving effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a frequency conversion control freshwater supply system for offshore platforms to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] Working principle: Through the above-mentioned multi-level frequency conversion control and modular collaboration, the system achieves efficient, stable, and intelligent operation of the entire process of freshwater supply, purification, heating, and circulation. The specific operation steps of this process are as follows:
[0034] 1. Freshwater pressure system
[0035] Water in freshwater tank 1 is drawn by three parallel freshwater pumps 6 through inlet pipe 5 and transported to freshwater tank 8 through water delivery pipe 7.
[0036] A pressure sensor is installed on the top of the freshwater tank 8 to monitor the water pressure inside the tank in real time and transmit the signal to the PLC controller. The controller uses a PID algorithm to adjust the inverter output of the freshwater pump 6, dynamically adjusting the pump speed to maintain a constant system pressure.
[0037] When the pressure is lower than the set value, start 1-3 pumps to boost the pressure.
[0038] Once the pressure reaches the target level, the pump will automatically switch operation to avoid wear on a single pump.
[0039] Automatic pump shutdown protection device when freshwater tank 1 is at a low level or hot water tank 18 is at a high level.
[0040] 2. Chlorine removal filtration system
[0041] Water from the outlet of freshwater tank 8 is delivered to parallel filters 11 and 12 via pipeline 29, where activated carbon filter media adsorbs chloride ions and impurities.
[0042] Online residual chlorine monitors the outlet water quality in real time:
[0043] An alarm is triggered when residual chlorine exceeds the standard.
[0044] The backwashing mechanism and sewage discharge mechanism are controlled at regular intervals via water supply lines 3.13 and 4.14, which automatically switch filters and clean dirt to ensure filtration efficiency.
[0045] 3. Ultraviolet disinfection system
[0046] The filtered water enters the parallel sterilizer 15 through water supply pipeline 4 14, where ultraviolet lamps with a wavelength of 254nm kill microorganisms.
[0047] Electronic flow switch monitors water flow:
[0048] Disinfection will be initiated when the flow rate reaches the target.
[0049] If the flow rate is insufficient or the UV intensity is abnormal, an alarm will be triggered and the backup sterilizer 15 will be switched on.
[0050] 4. Hot water storage and circulation system
[0051] After disinfection, the water enters the hot water tank 18 through the water supply pipeline 16, and is then driven by the circulation pump 21 to flow through the electromagnetic heating furnace 23 for heating.
[0052] The float level switch controls the water level; when the water level is low, the pump and heating are stopped.
[0053] The temperature sensor provides feedback on the water temperature, and the PLC controller adjusts the speed of the circulating pump 21 and the electromagnetic heating power of the water supply pipeline 7 20 and water supply pipeline 8 22 to maintain a constant temperature.
[0054] 5. Electromagnetic heating water supply system
[0055] Hot water is delivered to the living area via water supply pipeline 24, and return water is returned to the hot water tank 18 via water supply pipeline 19.
[0056] Electromagnetic heating furnace 23 adjusts its heating power via a frequency converter:
[0057] Increase power when the water temperature is lower than the set value;
[0058] Once the water temperature reaches the target level, the frequency will be reduced or the machine will be shut down to save energy.
[0059] 6. Integrated control logic
[0060] The integrated frequency converter control box 4 integrates the control units of various subsystems:
[0061] The PLC controller coordinates and manages pressure, flow, temperature, and residual chlorine parameters.
[0062] The control panel displays the operating status and supports remote monitoring and alarms;
