The invention also provides a control method of the methanol fuel supply system, which comprises the following steps:
s1: inerting of piping and host: inerting a pipeline and a host of a methanol fuel supply system by using inert gas;
s2: the first stage is to raise temperature and boost pressure: methanol enters a mixing tank after being heated and boosted in the first stage from a fuel tank;
s3: the second stage is to raise the temperature and pressure: methanol enters a host after being heated and boosted in the second stage by a mixing tank;
s4: judging whether the ventilation times of the host machine per hour is more than 30-45 times; and if the concentration of the methanol evaporation gas in the host is lower than 18% LEL, the step S5 is entered; if not, the host is not started;
s5: starting a host machine, loading and running until the fuel is burnt;
s6: closing the host, and cleaning the pipeline by using inert gas;
s7: the methanol fuel supply system is vented and degassed.
According to the invention, the methanol is buffered in the mixing tank by raising the temperature and the pressure in a stepwise manner, so that the aggregation of methanol steam is avoided, and air resistance is formed; thereby improving the combustion efficiency of methanol. If either one of the two conditions in S4 is not satisfied or neither one is satisfied, there may be a risk of fuel leakage or a fan being damaged, and at this time, the host cannot be started normally. Preferably, the ventilation times of the main machine are between 30 and 45 times per hour, and the ventilation times are preferably more than 32 times; the higher the number of times, the greater the fan power required, possibly causing unnecessary losses; however, the exhaust condition is not satisfied, which may cause the accumulation of methanol vapor to form air lock, affecting the emission standard.
Further, in the step S5, the loading operation program is as follows:
a1: after the host is loaded to the first load degree for operation, quantitatively providing water with the mass flow rate of 70-80% of the methanol flow rate, and mixing the water with the methanol fuel for combustion;
a2: after the host is loaded to the second load degree for operation; quantitatively providing water with the mass flow rate of 30% -40% of the methanol flow rate, and mixing the water with the methanol fuel for combustion;

preferably: the first load degree is 20% -25%; the second load degree is 90% -100%.
Specifically, the host is started to carry out gradient loading load, and the methanol fuel is quantitatively provided for the host to run at 20% -25% of load by controlling the running of the pump, the opening of the valve, the reflux of the bypass pipe and the monitoring feedback of the flowmeter through the cooperation control of a plurality of proportional valves, the flowmeter and the pressure pump on the pipeline. Further controlling the proportional valve, the flowmeter, the bypass pipe and the pump to control in a matching way, and quantitatively providing fresh water with the mass flow of 70-80% of the methanol flow into the host machine to perform mixed combustion with the methanol fuel by controlling the operation of the pump, the opening of the valve, the backflow of the bypass pipe and the monitoring feedback of the flowmeter.
The method comprises the steps of controlling pressure pump operation, valve opening, bypass pipe backflow and flowmeter monitoring feedback, quantitatively providing methanol fuel for a host machine to operate at 100% load, simultaneously utilizing a proportional valve, a flowmeter, a bypass pipe and a pump to cooperatively control, and quantitatively providing water with mass flow of 30% -40% of methanol flow for entering the host machine to perform mixed combustion with the methanol fuel by controlling pump operation, valve opening, bypass pipe backflow and flowmeter monitoring feedback.
Further, in the step S6, the procedure of cleaning the pipe with inert gas is as follows:
b1: judging the fuel of the host; if 100% of the host fuel is provided for the fuel tank, the step B2 is entered; if the host fuel is supplied by the fuel tank and the water supply pipeline together, the step B3 is entered;
b2: starting an inert gas pipeline, and blowing methanol in the pipeline into a fuel tank to perform gas-liquid separation;
b3: and (3) discharging the mixed solution into a discharge cabinet, and executing the step B2.
After the host machine is stopped, the third nitrogen pipe is utilized for blowing off, and the two conditions are divided into: first case: when 100% of the host fuel is provided for the fuel tank, the purity of the methanol in the host is higher at this time; under the condition, the emission can only reach IMO Tier2 standard, only nitrogen and methanol liquid mixture in the first fuel pipeline, the second fuel pipeline and the host is blown off, and the mixture is discharged to the fuel tank for gas-liquid separation through the first fuel pipeline, the inside of the host, the second fuel pipeline and the fuel recovery pipeline. Second case: when the fuel in the host is provided by the fuel tank and the water adding pipeline, the host is a mixed solution of methanol and water, at the moment, the water-doped methanol is firstly discharged to the discharge cabinet, and then the step of the first condition is executed, so that the water-doped methanol is prevented from directly returning to the fuel tank.
Further, in the step S7, the step of bleeding and degassing includes: the residual fuel and nitrogen in the evacuation line and the host are vented to a bleed tank.
Further, in the step S1, the inerting time is t1 seconds, and the calculation formula of t1 is:
