船舶分油机常见故障分析和防范措施

船舶分油机常见故障分析和防范措施随着航运业的迅猛发展,为降低成本,船舶所用的燃油也越来越低劣,很多船舶使用380 或者更差的燃料油。
这种重质燃油不仅粘度高、密度大,而且渣滓特别多,进入分油机前往往要加热到95℃以上,使得分油机的工作条件越来越来恶劣;而且,为了把密度相近的重油和水分离,要求分油机高转速,有的达到每分钟九千转以上,为分油机的养护带来挑战。
虽然分油机结构、形态各异,但具体工作原理都是通过高速旋转产生离心力,将比重不同的油、水、渣分离,并通过不同的途径排出。
功能上只有分水和分渣两种。
现代船舶大多配有两台燃油分油机和一台滑油分油机,主要有阿法拉伐(Alfa Lava1)系列、日本三菱的一T、SJ—P型和巴工的DH、MND型、瑞典的MM —l X型、国产DZY一15,DZY一30,DZY一50等系列。
1 分油机的常见故障、原因和纠正措施分油机难免出现故障。
为避免或延缓再次发生相同故障,分油机的管理,主要是通过故障现象,来推断产生故障的原因,确定故障确切部位,进而采取针对性养护措施。
对于提高工作效率,降低船舶工作人员的工作量,这些具有重要意义。
1.1 出水口跑油出水口跑油是分油机最常见的故障,原因很多,主要有:·比重盘内口径不当;·进油量过大;·分离筒内积聚污物太多,排渣口脏堵;·配水盘故障,水封建立不起来;·加热不够,进口油温太低;·高置水箱水位过低导致托盘没有托起,等。
虽然原因很多,但大多是由排渣口脏堵引起的,只需将分油机进油阀关闭,手动排渣一到两次,故障多能排除。
其它原因,如分油机出油阀没有打开或没有全部打开引起跑油,不属于机械故障,就不再讨论了。
按故障表逐一排查,不仅费时费力,而且可能使问题复杂化甚至根本找不到毛病。
不妨采用这样的思考方式加以分析,例如:·上午分油机正常,下午就跑油了,显然可以排除比重盘内径太小。
·若进油量太大,只需将进油阀关小一点(注意,这时要手动排渣一次,否则,跑油现象未必会停止)。

0引言船舶主推进柴油机和电站的柴油发电机所使用的重质燃油的品质在世界各地是不同的,为实现柴油机燃用低质燃油的可靠性和经济性运行,对燃油地有效清洁是个不断增长的需求。
最新船用分油机常见故障原因及维修要点

摘要:船舶柴油机所用的燃油和滑油在使用前必须经过净化处理,除去其中的水分和杂质。
净化质量对柴油机工作的可靠性和使用寿命影响极大。
分油机是船舶净化燃油和滑油必不可少的关键设备。
本文主要讨论和分析了船用分油机常见故障原因及维修要点。
关键词:船用分油机常见故障原因维修要点随着航运业的迅猛发展,为降低成本,船舶所用的燃油也越来越低劣,很多船舶使用380#甚至更差的燃料油。
这种重质燃油不仅黏度高、密度大,而且渣滓特别多,进入分油机前往往要加热到95℃以上,使得分油机的工作条件越来越恶劣,而且,为了把密度相近的重油和水分离,分油机要高转速,有的达到每分钟九千转以上,为分油机的养护带来挑战。
分油机是现代船舶一种重要的辅助机械,用于燃油或滑油的净化处理(水分和杂质)。
有的船舶配置的分油机的台数较少,当所需处理的燃、滑油油质较差时,运行中的燃油分油机或滑油分油机就很容易出现某些故障。
快速判断并排除分油机的故障,为安全航行赢得宝贵的时间,就显得相当重要。
1.分油机常见故障及原因1.1分离筒达不到规定转速。
制动器未松开;摩擦离合器内混入油脂,摩擦片打滑或损坏;电动机或电气设备故障。
1.2不能进油或分油过程断油。
1.2.1由于泵或管路的问题不能产生足够低的吸入压力。
油泵传动齿轮锥销折断;泵严重磨损,间隙太大;泵转速太低;吸入管漏气;油柜已空。
1.2.2泵吸入压力过低。
油柜油位太低;供油泵前滤器堵塞或管路不通;油温太低,黏度太大。
1.3出水口跑油。
1.3.1水封水未能建立或受到破坏。
起动时水封水未加或加得太少;进油阀开得太猛,水封被破坏;转速不足使水封压力不够;分离盘片间脏堵。
1.3.2油水分界面外移至分离盘外。
重力环内径过大;油未加热至要求值,密度大。
1.4排渣口跑油(排渣口未能封闭)。
1.4.1滑动圈不能上移堵死密封水腔泄水口。
分离筒上小孔堵塞不能泄水;滑动圈下方弹簧失效;滑动圈上方塑料堵头失严。
1.4.2滑动底盘下部缺密封水。
【分油机】一例阿法拉伐926SA分油机故障分析

【分油机】一例阿法拉伐926SA分油机故障分析故障现象某日在起动分油机时发现不能正常分油,表现为启动转速达到11750r/min以后,当程序走到进行分离筒密封测试时即会发出燃油泄漏报警并停机。
在拆开分油机分离筒、清理操作滑环、活动排渣底盘及分离盘片上的积碳后,更换分离筒上的矩形令和操作滑环上的矩形令并在矩形令槽内缠上了4圈的生料带,装复试车,故障依旧。
再次拆下分离筒后,测量操作滑环及分离筒上的矩形令槽,槽深、槽宽都为4mm,而船上现有的矩形令尺寸分别为3.6mm,在加了生料带以后可以看出矩形令有稍微的凸出矩形令槽。
于是在原有基础上再加了3圈生料带,让矩形令更加地凸出槽外,同时更换了活动排渣底盘、操作水环的密封令、顶盖尼龙密封圈,检查机体上的操作水出水口,分别进排渣水和密封水可明显的看到两者水量的不同,然后装复再次试机,没有任何好转。
于是将两台分油机的相同关键部件进行对换,希望借此缩小故障范围。
首先对换密封、排渣水电磁阀体进行交换试验,情况无变化,排除电磁阀故障的可能性。
将故障分油机的分离筒换到另一台分油机上,没有做任何的改变,起动分油机,能正常分油,而且运行良好。
将换下的分离筒原封未动地装在故障分油机上运行,第一次进油、分油、排渣正常,运行一段时间后,自动排渣、再次密封进油时,又出了妖蛾子,分离筒泄漏报警。
这可是怪事的了,在那边运行正常,到了这里就出故障,还真是少见。
又一次拆下分离筒,进行了常规检查、清理积碳等工作,同时对两台分油机的立轴高度(用钢直尺立放在分离筒上,测量其上平面至机体平台之间的距离为85mm),立轴的径向跳动量(采用将分离筒装上以后测量分离筒外沿,跳动量为0.04-0.05mm),都在正常范围,分油机的维修陷入了困境。
故障分析以前这台分油机出现过同样的故障,一般都是操作滑环和分离筒本体上的矩形令出现磨损后造成密封水泄漏,导致操作滑环不能上移,进而导致活动排渣底盘下部不能正常建立压力来关闭分离筒排渣口,在矩形令槽内加上点生料带再装复问题就解决了。
Alfa-Laval分油机跑油故障分析及处理措施

Alfa-Laval分油机跑油故障分析及处理措施随着航运业发展,柴油机燃油价格也大幅度上涨,燃油费用支出占船舶运营成本 50% ,为了降低成本,许多船舶使用重油。
然而,重油成分复杂,燃烧条件恶劣,使用前必须要用分油机去除重油中的水分和杂质,以保证船舶主机的正常运行。
分油机的工作原理是利用油、水和固体杂质三者比重的不同,在相同的转速下所受的离心力不同,用物理方式去掉燃料油中的水分和机械杂质,进而得到纯净的燃油[1]。
作为一名轮机工作人员,保证分油机及其各种辅助设备处于良好的运行状态是日常管理中一项重要工作,如果操作不当,或未及时发现、解决问题,接下来发生的连锁反应会导致船舶动力故障,甚至危及到船舶航行的安全,所以分油机的安全运行要受到轮机工作人员的高度重视[2]。
Alfa -Laval 分油机是当今船舶配备的主流分油机,从对此类型分油机的管理经验来看,跑油是最常见的故障,主要表现在出水口跑油和排渣口跑油 2 个方面。
了解 Alfa - Laval 分油机跑油的这一常见故障,及时对跑油的原因进行分析和处理,可以有效降低分油机的事故发生率,从而保障船舶的正常安全航行[3]。
1Alfa - Laval 分油机跑油原因分析1. 1出水口跑油出水口跑油的几个常见原因: 比重环内口径不恰当; 进油量过大; 分离筒内积聚杂质过多,排渣口脏堵; 加热不够,进口油温太低; 分离筒本体转速低; 配水盘故障,水封建立不起来。
虽然原因很多,但大多是由于水封故障造成。
水封水在分油机初始运行时注入,可以在分离盘周围形成水封以防止油从出水口流出,当油中分离出水后,生成的水会排挤原来的水封水使其从出水口排出。
如果在启动时候没有加入水封水或者水封水加入过少,则配水盘会发生故障; 若水封水遭到了破坏同样会造成跑油。
1. 2排渣口跑油排渣口跑油的几个常见原因: 滑动底盘下部缺少密封水; 滑动圈不能上移,堵死密封水腔泄水口; 滑动底盘和分离筒盖不能贴合。
