13 results about "Bilge pump" patented technology

A bilge pump is a water pump used to remove bilge water. Since fuel can be present in the bilge, electric bilge pumps are designed to not cause sparks. Electric bilge pumps are often fitted with float switches which turn on the pump when the bilge fills to a set level. Since bilge pumps can fail, use of a backup pump is often advised. The primary pump is normally located at the lowest point of the bilge, while the secondary pump would be located somewhat higher. This ensures that the secondary pump activates only when the primary pump is overwhelmed or fails, and keeps the secondary pump free of the debris in the bilge that tends to clog the primary pump.

Passive siphon-based fluid removal apparatus

An apparatus and method for removing fluid from the bilge of a boat without electrical power or manual intervention is disclosed. The system includes a bilge accumulator positioned within the bilge to collect fluid, a siphon generator mounted on the exterior of the boat at or below the waterline, and a tube connecting the two. The siphon generator incorporates a Venturi passage that generates a vacuum as water flows across its surface during vessel motion, thereby drawing fluid from the bilge accumulator and expelling it overboard. The accumulator may include a sponge or multi-stage filter for debris removal and priming retention, and mounting components for secure installation. A check valve may be included to prevent backflow. The system operates passively and continuously while the boat is underway, maintaining a drier bilge environment without the need for electrical bilge pumps.

A method for arranging the methanol preparation room on an Aframax tanker

This invention discloses a method for arranging a methanol preparation compartment on an Aframax oil tanker, belonging to the field of ship design technology. This method involves setting up an independent methanol preparation compartment in the area adjacent to the methanol fuel storage tank on the main deck of the cargo hold, housing the methanol day-use tank within it. The enclosure wall of this methanol preparation compartment serves as the sole isolation barrier, eliminating the need for an external isolation compartment around the methanol day-use tank in existing technologies. Within the methanol preparation compartment, a methanol transfer pump, a methanol purge and collection tank in the form of an independent structural cabinet, a methanol oil sludge collection tank, a methanol supply unit, a methanol supply valve assembly, and a methanol bilge pump are centrally integrated, along with a shared ventilation and fire suppression system. This invention, through integrated design, improves ship space utilization, simplifies supporting systems, reduces construction costs, achieves centralized control of methanol equipment, facilitates operation and maintenance, and is applicable to the arrangement of methanol fuel preparation compartments on various types of Aframax oil tankers.
