Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine gas supply technology, and in particular to a skid-mounted integrated supply system for small methanol engines. Background Technology
[0002] Methanol is a toxic gas, but it is also a clean fuel, producing only carbon dioxide and water vapor when fully burned. Inland waterway methanol-fueled ships are a type of "new energy" inland waterway vessel that primarily uses methanol as its propulsion energy. Because methanol combustion leaves fewer pollutant residues, it can effectively improve the environmental performance of ships during operation. In response to the shipping industry's call for "decarbonization," the demand for methanol-fueled ships is growing.
[0003] However, due to the size limitations of inland waterway vessels, the usable space of general inland waterway vessels is relatively small. At the same time, due to the toxicity and low flash point of methanol fuel, it is dangerous to operate. It also needs to be emptied in advance during maintenance. The recovery of emptied methanol fuel is inconvenient, which reduces the utilization efficiency of methanol. Moreover, methanol fuel ships are just emerging and there is no design solution that can actually meet the needs of inland waterway vessels. Therefore, a design scheme for a small methanol engine supply integrated skid-mounted equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content

It fully considers the toxicity and low flash point characteristics of methanol fuel, formulates design indicators in combination with user needs, adopts a safer supply scheme, and can be equipped with leakage detection, safety protection and other functions to effectively ensure the safe use of methanol fuel on ships, thus solving the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a small methanol generator integrated skid-mounted system is provided, comprising a skid-mounted base, a methanol storage tank fixedly connected to one side of the upper part of the skid-mounted base, a methanol sludge tank fixedly connected to the side of the upper part of the skid-mounted base away from the methanol storage tank, a methanol output seat fixedly connected to the middle of one end of the skid-mounted base, a filling pipeline fixedly connected to the top of the methanol storage tank near the methanol sludge tank, a pump parallel pipeline connected to the side of the methanol storage tank near the methanol output seat, two methanol supply pumps connected in parallel on the pump parallel pipeline, and a dual filter fixedly connected to the end of the pump parallel pipeline away from the methanol storage tank via a pipe. A pipe support frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the skid-mounted base away from the methanol output seat, and a gas return pipeline is fixedly connected to the upper side of the pipe support frame near the methanol storage tank. The input end of the gas return pipeline is connected to the top of the methanol storage tank and the methanol sludge tank respectively. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the skid-mounted base away from the methanol storage tank. A pressurization conversion pipe is connected to the end of the drain pipe near the methanol waste tank. A diaphragm pump is installed on the pressurization conversion pipe. An emptying sampling pipe is installed below the end of the drain pipe away from the methanol waste tank. An filling sampling pipe is installed below the end of the filling pipe away from the methanol storage tank.
[0006] According to the small methanol generator integrated skid, the inner side of the methanol output base is provided with four methanol output pipelines, and the output end of the dual filter is connected to the four methanol output pipelines respectively through branch pipes and ESD valves.
[0007] According to the aforementioned small methanol generator integrated skid, both the methanol storage tank and the methanol waste tank are equipped with level sensors, and pressure gauges are fixedly connected to the top of both the methanol storage tank and the methanol waste tank.
[0008] According to the small methanol generator supply integrated skid, a safety return pipeline is fixedly connected to the output section of the pump parallel pipeline, and the end of the safety return pipeline away from the pump parallel pipeline is connected to the top of the methanol storage tank.
[0009] According to the aforementioned small methanol generator integrated skid, both ends of the pressurization conversion pipeline are connected to the top and bottom of the methanol sludge tank respectively via electrically controlled valves, and the discharge pipelines are connected to the pressurization conversion pipelines at both ends of the diaphragm pump respectively via shut-off valves. The input end of the diaphragm pump is equipped with a filter.
[0010] According to the aforementioned small methanol generator integrated skid, the filling return gas pipeline includes a methanol vapor venting pipeline and a pressure balance return gas pipeline, and a return gas sampling pipeline is provided below one end of the return gas connection of the pressure balance return gas pipeline, and one end of the methanol vapor venting pipeline is fixedly connected to an exhaust mast pipeline.
[0011] According to the small methanol generator supply integrated skid, the end of the discharge pipeline away from the diaphragm pump is connected to each methanol pipeline on the skid base through multiple branch pipes and shut-off valves.
[0012] According to the aforementioned small methanol generator integrated skid, a nitrogen input pipeline is provided on the side of the discharge pipeline near the methanol storage tank on the skid base. The output end of the nitrogen input pipeline is connected to each pipeline on the skid base through branch pipes and shut-off valves.
[0013] The above solution has at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model is equipped with a liquid level sensor and a pressure gauge. In conjunction with various sampling pipelines, a liquid level monitoring system, a pressure monitoring system, and a combustible gas monitoring system can be added to improve the degree of automation and safety.

[0014] 2. This utility model is equipped with a methanol waste tank, which, together with a pressurization conversion pipeline and a diaphragm pump, can increase the venting force during venting by using the diaphragm pump. By placing methanol into the methanol waste tank, the risk of methanol leakage is reduced. If necessary, the flow path can be changed by switching valves to use the power of the diaphragm pump to reflux methanol. This dual-purpose design not only saves production costs but also improves methanol utilization. It is also easy to arrange aesthetically. The flow rate of methanol fuel can be automatically controlled by valves to meet different operating conditions, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.
[0015] 3. Based on the operating conditions of inland waterway vessels, this utility model can be designed to eliminate the need for heat exchanger heating, reducing the floor space required. Furthermore, the use of instrument pipes as pipelines significantly reduces the number of weld joints. The highly integrated, modular, and standardized design, along with the reasonable layout of the pipeline system and the installation of valves in locations that facilitate operation and maintenance when necessary, allows for mass production while meeting the requirements of the relevant CCS classification society specifications, and is also easy to maintain.
