Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sea chest cooler on ships and offshore platforms, where by an integrated anti-fouling system barnacles, shells and other fouling organisms are killed as a result of regularly repeatable overheating.
  • the device for carrying out the method is that individual sea boxes of a seawater system and connecting them Pipelines and ducts as well as the components installed in the seawater system, such as sea chest coolers, pumps and fittings form separate subsystems, so that a short-term and locally limited, regular overheating of the enclosed seawater takes place and thus the entire seawater system is partially protected from fouling.
  • the subsystems are divided into an active and passive subsystem. In the sea operation, the blind is open in the active sea chest and the shut-off valve is closed and the passive subsystem is in cleaning mode with blind closed so that the components in the passive sea box are locally limited, short-term and regularly repeatable overheated.
  • Outlet funnels in different chambers of the radiator cap must be mechanically interconnected so that the inlet funnel can be positioned above the inlet and the outlet funnel over the outlet of the same Einzelebenübertragers to dissolve out of the cooling circuit and thus protect in a separate heating circuit against fouling.
  • the technical effort for the mechanical coupling of the two funnels together seems very complicated and prone to failure.
  • the device for heating described in DE-PS 102005029988 B3 uses a separate electric heater, which leads to an additional energy requirement of up to an estimated 60KW and thus should be avoided for reasons of sustainability and environmental protection.
  • the object of the invention is to design a sea chest cooler against fouling by microorganisms, such as barnacles, shells, algae, etc already in its construction so that the simplest possible device the sea chest cooler by continuous overheating a defined number of rows of tubes fully automatically both in the actual Can protect cooling mode as well as at a standstill. This should be done without a system separation.
  • the necessary heating energy should be decoupled energetically efficient, for example, from the hot high-temperature circuit of main engine or auxiliary diesel.
  • TAS following - is due to the new design of the tube bundle a almost circular or square arrangement of the heat exchanger tubes 20 special sections created that allow individual circular segments of the tube bundle of the sea chest cooler by a mechanical TAS device during or outside the cooling operation to apply hot water.
  • This TAS device consists, for example, of a nozzle 1 which rotates in angular increments, following the circular arrangement of the heat exchanger tubes 20 in the tube plate 14, so that in the respective section the fouling organisms due to regular impingement of individual heat exchanger tubes 20 or sections of the sea chest cooler by means of heated water on the tube outer wall and / or killed in the vicinity of the tube bundle.
  • the cooling area of the sea chest cooler may be increased accordingly in order to be able to dissipate the additional heat introduced into the system, preferably from the hot engine cooling water circuit (ME-HAT).
  • ME-HAT hot engine cooling water circuit
  • the advantages of the invention are that the anti-fouling of the sea chest cooler with the integrated TAS in the ongoing sea operation and without the box cooler to take out of service is possible.
  • anti-fouling in harbor operation can also be carried out via a separate pre-heater in the TAS circuit, such as the auxiliary or over-production condenser.
  • Another positive side effect is that it can be preheated via the low-temperature circuit ME-LT in port operation, thus keeping the main engine ready for use at all times. This can be dispensed with the traditional preheating unit which saves ongoing energy costs and acquisition costs.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un refroidisseur de caisson de prise d'eau sur des navires et plateformes en mer, muni d'un système antisalissure intégré permettant la destruction de bernacles, de coquillages et d'autres organismes constituant des salissures par surchauffe périodique. L'objectif de l'invention est de proposer un refroidisseur de caisson de prise d'eau protégé contre les salissures constituées par des micro-organismes, le refroidisseur de caisson de prise d'eau (16) étant conçu de façon à pouvoir être protégé par un dispositif simple par surchauffe continue d'un nombre défini de tubes d'échange de chaleur (20) de façon automatique aussi bien pendant le processus de refroidissement qu'à l'arrêt autant que possible au moyen de la chaleur dissipée par l'eau de refroidissement et sans que le refroidissement ne soit interrompu. Selon l'invention, cet objectif est atteint grâce à une disposition en cercle des tubes d'échange de chaleur dans des sections particulières du refroidisseur de caisson de prise d'eau (16), de sorte que des segments de cercle individuels du faisceau tubulaire sont soumis à l'action de l'eau chaude par un dispositif mécanique pendant le processus de refroidissement ou en dehors de ce processus. Le système antisalissure thermique (TAS - Thermal Antifouling System) (13) se compose d'une buse (1) à rotation par pas angulaires, qui sépare du processus de refroidissement les tubes d'échange de chaleur (20) du refroidisseur de caisson de prise d'eau (16). Les avantages de l'invention résident dans la conception du refroidisseur qui est adaptée à la fonction de refroidissement et de protection antisalissure simultanés et dans le fait que la protection antisalissure du refroidisseur de caisson de prise d'eau à système antisalissure thermique intégré peut être effectuée en cours de fonctionnement dudit refroidisseur au moyen de la chaleur dissipée par l'eau de refroidissement et sans que le refroidissement ne soit interrompu.
