This invention discloses a
marine fuel supply and return device and control method, belonging to the field of
marine technology. The
system includes: a steel
fuel storage tank, whose inlet is connected to the fuel day tank via a supply pipeline, and whose return outlet is directly connected to the
diesel engine return pipeline; a
fuel supply power and metering unit, located on the supply pipeline, including a filter, a
fuel pump, and an ultrasonic flow meter connected in sequence; a tank
condition monitoring unit, located on the steel
fuel storage tank, including at least a level gauge and a density meter or
thermometer; a
data acquisition and
control unit, connected to the
fuel pump, ultrasonic flow meter, and tank
condition monitoring unit, used to control the start and stop of the
fuel pump according to the liquid level, and to collect data on the
fuel supply volume, the volume and density of the remaining fuel in the tank, and to calculate fuel consumption; and a
data transmission unit for remotely transmitting fuel consumption data to a
shore-based platform. This invention replaces the traditional float tank and return oil cooler with an integrated steel
oil storage tank, simplifying the
system structure and ensuring original factory maintenance of the
diesel engine; at the same time, it uses a single ultrasonic flow meter combined with a
material balance algorithm to achieve accurate fuel consumption measurement and supports
remote data transmission, making it suitable for ship energy efficiency management and carbon intensity index calculation.
