Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine ventilation technology, and specifically relates to a ventilation system for a marine emergency generator room. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional emergency generator rooms on ships typically employ single-duct ventilation systems, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency. Relying on mechanical exhaust and ventilation, they fail to effectively utilize natural airflow within the structural ducts, leading to high-temperature risks for equipment, poor structural compatibility, and a lack of integrated ductwork design with the main structure. This makes them prone to structural damage during construction, resulting in ineffective ventilation. Emergency generators generate significant heat during operation; without proper ventilation, temperatures can rise rapidly, causing overheating, potential malfunctions, and even fires. Furthermore, the combustion of generator fuel produces harmful gases; accumulation of these gases within the room poses health threats and can be fatal to maintenance or operational personnel. Therefore, a ventilation system is essential to promptly remove these harmful gases and ensure air safety. Additionally, generator combustion requires a sufficient oxygen supply; insufficient ventilation reduces combustion efficiency, preventing normal generator operation or timely startup in emergencies. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a ventilation system for a ship's emergency generator room.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A ventilation system for a ship's emergency generator room is disclosed. The emergency generator room is enclosed by upper and lower decks and surrounding bulkheads. The ventilation system includes an indoor exhaust duct and a mechanical air supply duct located inside the emergency generator room, a natural air supply duct installed on the deck above the emergency generator room, and an outdoor exhaust duct located on the outer side of one bulkhead of the emergency generator room. The exhaust outlet of the outdoor exhaust duct is located above the C deck of the superstructure or at the funnel.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a ventilation system for a ship's emergency generator room is disclosed. The emergency generator room 3 is enclosed by upper and lower decks and surrounding bulkheads. The ventilation system includes an indoor exhaust duct 1, a mechanical air supply duct 2, a natural air supply duct 4 located on the deck above the emergency generator room 3, and an outdoor exhaust duct 5 located on the outer side of one side bulkhead of the emergency generator room 3. The exhaust outlet of the outdoor exhaust duct 5 is located above the C deck of the ship's superstructure or at the chimney. An emergency generator 7 located in the emergency generator room 3 is connected to the indoor exhaust duct 1 via an emergency generator hose 6, and the indoor exhaust duct 1 is connected to the outdoor exhaust duct 5.

[0020] Understandably, the heat from the emergency generator is discharged independently through the emergency generator hose 6 connected to the indoor exhaust duct 1, and the outdoor exhaust duct 5 is set up independently to avoid sharing ducts with other systems such as engine room ventilation or air conditioning ventilation, to prevent backflow of exhaust gas or cross-contamination. The duct should be as short and straight as possible, avoiding sharp 90° bends to reduce resistance at bends.

[0021] To ensure rapid diffusion of exhaust gas, in some embodiments, the distance between the lower end of the exhaust port of the outdoor exhaust structure duct 5 and the deck below the emergency generator room 3 is not less than 3 meters, the horizontal distance between the exhaust port and the living area, working area and air conditioning inlet is not less than 5 meters, and the vertical distance is not less than 3 meters.

[0022] Furthermore, air inlets are provided on the front and rear side walls of the natural air supply structure duct 4 and on the side wall opposite to the exhaust section; the vertical distance between the lowest point of the air inlet on the natural air supply structure duct 4 and the deck surface above the emergency generator room 3 is not less than 1400mm.

[0023] A dual-mode air supply system is adopted. The natural air supply structure duct 4 is a pre-embedded air duct, located 1400mm from the B deck. The natural air supply structure duct 4 has three sides equipped with weatherproof louvers. The pre-embedded structure duct is integrated with the main structure, avoiding construction damage, facilitating maintenance, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0024] Furthermore, the outdoor exhaust structure duct 5 includes a buffer section 51 and an exhaust section 52 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The upper end surface of the buffer section 51 is located on the same horizontal plane as the deck surface above the emergency generator room 3. The width and length of the buffer section 51 are both greater than the length and width of the exhaust section 52.

[0025] An inner air guide plate 8 is provided at a corner inside the buffer section 51 on the side away from the indoor exhaust duct 1. The exhaust section 52 is located above another corner inside the buffer section 51 on the side away from the indoor exhaust duct 1. An outer air guide plate 9 is connected between the bottom wall of the buffer section 51 and the side wall of the emergency generator room 3 near the buffer section 51. An air inlet for the buffer section 51 is provided on the bottom wall of the buffer section 51 located inside the outer air guide plate 9. Two indoor exhaust duct 1 outlets are provided at intervals from top to bottom on the side wall of the emergency generator room 3 near the buffer section 51. The upper indoor exhaust duct 1 outlet is positioned opposite the buffer section 51, and the lower indoor exhaust duct 1 outlet is positioned opposite the outer air guide plate 9. The angle between the outer air guide plate 9 and the bottom wall of the buffer section 51 is an obtuse angle.

[0026] It is understandable that the inner air guide plate 8 and the outer air guide plate 9 can reduce airflow resistance.

[0027] An explosion-proof blower 11 is installed inside the mechanical air supply duct 2, and a ventilation grille 10 is installed on the air outlet of the mechanical air supply duct 2. Closable, weather-tight louvers 12 are installed at the air inlet of the natural air supply structure duct 4, the air outlet of the outdoor exhaust structure duct 5, and the air inlet of the mechanical air supply duct 2. The explosion-proof blower 11 is connected to the mechanical air supply duct 2, and is linked to the generator to start and stop, providing the oxygen required for combustion, regulating the airflow and the opening and closing of the louvers, and maintaining a slightly negative pressure environment in the combustion chamber.

[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
