Description

EMULSIFIED OIL MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

The emulsion oil production system according to an embodiment of the present invention relates to an emulsion oil production system for producing and storing emulsion oil by emulsifying anionized water and fuel.

The problem of oil shortage is rising all over the world, and various efforts are being made to maximize the utilization efficiency of oil.

In particular, large boilers and large ship engines use heavy oil such as bunker C oil, which has a problem that discharges dust or harmful gas into the atmosphere. Therefore, studies are being actively conducted to increase the efficiency of heavy oil and to reduce dust and harmful gases, and to use emulsified oil as a representative method.

Emulsification refers to the uniform dispersion of other liquids in a liquid that are not mixed with it in a particulate state. Here, emulsification is achieved by mixing water and additives with fuel in various ways. Here, the additives are chemical substances that promote emulsification, and such additives should not cause harmful substances, odors, or corrode pipes.

In emulsified oil, the rate of addition of water to the fuel is 30% or less. The ratio may be determined according to the type of fuel, the characteristics of the combustion apparatus, and the flow-and-water mixing ratio may be kept constant according to the combustion conditions.

On the other hand, there have been proposals related to the production of emulsified oils. For example, “Fuel Emulsification System and Method” of Korean Patent No. 1038261 discloses a system for producing emulsified oil using only fuel and water without using additives.

According to this system, the size of water droplets can be formed into a combustible size while maintaining a highly cohesive emulsion of fuel and water. However, since the oil produced and stored contains water, condensation occurs between the particles of water as time passes, resulting in oil and water separation. As a result, emulsified oils are less efficient and may cause fires to burn out or cause more air pollution. do.

In addition, the proposed system uses a multi-stage ultrasonic mixer, which not only increases manufacturing costs but also lowers reliability.

"Oilized oil production supply stirrer" of Korean Patent No. 1168327 supplies fuel, water and additives to the stirrer through the solenoid valve, and in the stirrer to ionize the water molecules to combine with the fuel while rotating the stirring blade at a high speed by the motor Techniques for producing emulsified oils are shown. However, in this stirrer, since the supply of raw materials and the manufacture and discharge of the emulsion oil are performed at the same time, there is a disadvantage that the fuel having less emulsification can be discharged immediately.

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide an emulsion oil production system capable of continuously producing a large amount of high-quality emulsion oil does not occur oil separation.

In another aspect, the present invention is to provide an emulsion oil production system that can save the process cost and maintain a high-quality emulsification state, if the use is stopped for a long time after use or stored for a long time, through the reemulsification process of the stored emulsion oil .

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an emulsion oil production system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an emulsion oil production system 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention relates to a manufacturing system for producing emulsion oil by emulsifying water and fuel, and burning the same to produce energy. The emulsion oil production system 1000 is largely divided into a supply unit 1, an emulsification unit 2, and a control unit 4, and may further include a combustion unit 3.

The supply unit 1 may be a part for supplying a raw material for producing the emulsion oil used in the emulsion oil production system 1000. Raw materials supplied from the outside may be water and fuel, respectively. The fuel is preferably heavy oil such as bunker C oil or the like, but is not necessarily limited thereto. Each raw material is supplied through a pipe connected from an external source (not shown). The supply unit 1 is a reducing water supply unit 11 for generating and supplying reduced water by reducing water, a fuel supply unit 12 for supplying fuel, a heating unit 113 for heating each raw material, and mixing and storing the reduced water and fuel. It may include a first tank (13).

The reduced water supply unit 11 may be a portion for generating reduced water and supplying it to the first tank 13. The reduced water supply unit 11 may include a reduced water generation unit 111 for generating reduced water, a softener 112 for softening the reduced water, and a reduced water flow rate control unit 114 for controlling the flow rate of the reduced water.

First, reduced water may refer to water in which the content of anions increases by reducing water. The reduced water supply unit 11 receives water from the outside through a pipe, and a raw material valve (not shown) is installed on the pipe, so that the supply and blocking of water may be controlled according to an electrical signal of the controller 4 to be described later. For example, the feed valve may be opened when water is needed and the feed valve may be closed when supply is to be stopped.

The reduced water generation unit 111 may be a portion that generates reduced water using water. Reduced water can be produced by reducing water through an obsidian and tourmaline catalyst cartridge that magnetizes the water.

Obsidian and tourmaline gemstones or powders can instantly discharge water when they come in contact with water. At this time, water is electrolyzed and water molecules (H ₂ O) can be separated into hydrogen ions (H +) and hydroxyl ions (OH −). The separated hydrogen ions (H +) can be attracted to the negative electrode and combined with the electrons emitted therefrom to neutralize and become hydrogen gas (H 2) to evaporate. That is, the water may be weak alkaline ionization of about PH 7.4-7.5 to become reduced water. In addition, hydroxyl ions (OH-) can be combined with the surrounding water molecules to form a surface active material called a hydroxyl (H ₃ O ₂ ) anion.

Thus, the water can be reduced water containing a large amount of OH ^- ions. The reduced water may be reduced water softened while passing through the softener 112. Here, the term "softening" may mean removing calcium or magnesium contained in water and making the water soft.

Methods of softening include boiling or softening (precipitating with sodium carbonate, sodium phosphate, lime, etc.), ion exchange, and the like. In particular, ion exchange is a method of making soft water by passing water through a Na-type cation exchange resin and exchanging calcium ions (Ca ⁺ ) and magnesium (Mg ²⁺ ), which are hardness components in raw water, with sodium ions (Na ⁺ ) in the resin. Can be.

The water softener 112 may be a device capable of performing the above softening. Calcium and magnesium contained in the reduced water combine with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, which may be attached to the pipe wall and each component, thereby causing a problem of degrading the performance of the oil production system 1000 or causing a failure. . In order to solve this problem, calcium and magnesium can be removed by softening the reduced water.

Meanwhile, in the modified embodiment, the water softener 112 may be installed upstream of the reduced water generating unit 111. As a result, after removing the metal components such as minerals contained in the water supplied from the outside and treating the soft water, the reduced water may be introduced into the reduced water generating unit 111 to generate the reduced water.

Figure 2 shows an emulsification power comparison experiment of the reduced water used in the emulsion oil production system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, distilled water (D) to which oxidized water (A) reduced water (B) distilled water (C) is added is constantly stirred with addition of mineral oil (mineral oil such as petroleum) in an amount corresponding to 10%. After 120 minutes, you can see the change in the emulsification appears.

According to this, immediately after stirring, all four samples showed difference in emulsification. Among them, oxidized water (A) and distilled water (C) did not show emulsification, but immediately phase separation was observed, and (B) and surfactant were added. Distilled water (D) was observed to emulsify the oil does not occur.

On the other hand, when comparing the emulsification of the reduced water (B) and the distilled water (D) with the surfactant over time, a similar emulsification was observed initially, but after 60 minutes, the reduced water (D) with the surfactant added (D) In B), more pronounced emulsification was observed. It can be confirmed that the transparency of the distilled water (D) to which the surfactant is added is not uniform in the solution than the transparency of the reduced water (B). These results can be judged to mean that the reduced water (B) is stronger than the distilled water (D) to which the surfactant is added.

This phenomenon of the reduced water (B) is ions hydrated with water to H ₃ O ₂ ^-The interfacial energy is reduced to have an interfacial activity and because it is negatively charged, the reducing power appears large and the surface tension is small, the penetration force between particles This may be to be improved.

구조를 이루게 되어 계면활성을 갖는 것일 수 있다. 이로써, 환원수의 유화력이 뛰어난 것으로 볼 수 있고, 환원수를 이용하여 제조된 유화유가 유수분리가 쉽게 되지 않고 안정적일 수 있다.That is, OH is a hydrophobic group H ₂ O acts as a hydrophilic group

It may be a structure having a surface active. As a result, it can be seen that the emulsifying power of the reduced water is excellent, and the emulsion oil produced using the reduced water may be stable without being easily separated from the oil.

The reduced water flow rate adjusting unit 114 may be a portion for adjusting the flow rate of the reduced water supplied by the control of the first control unit 4a to be described later. The reduced water flow rate control unit 114 may include a reduced water valve 114a and a pump (not shown). The reduced water valve 114a is installed on the pipe of the reduced water flow rate adjusting unit 114, and thus the flow rate of the reduced water supplied to the first tank 13 may be controlled according to an electrical signal of the first control unit 4a which will be described later. . For example, when the supply of reducing water is required, the reducing water valve 114a is opened and the pump is operated. When the supply water is to be stopped, the reducing water valve 114a is closed and the pump may be stopped.

The fuel supply unit 12 may supply fuel supplied from the outside to the first tank 13. The fuel supply unit 12 may include a fuel flow rate control unit 121 and a pump in which the flow rate of the fuel is controlled.

First, the fuel supply unit 12 receives fuel from the outside through a pipe, and a raw material valve (not shown) is installed on the pipe, so that the supply and blocking of the fuel is controlled in accordance with an electrical signal of the first control unit 4a described later. Can be. For example, the raw material valve may be opened when the supply of fuel is necessary, and the raw material valve may be closed when the supply is to be stopped.

The fuel flow rate adjusting unit 121 may be a portion for adjusting the flow rate of the fuel supplied by the control of the first control unit 4a to be described later. The fuel flow rate controller 121 may be configured of a fuel valve 121a and a pump. The fuel valve 121a is installed on the pipe of the fuel flow rate adjusting unit 121, so that the flow rate of the fuel supplied to the first tank 13 may be controlled according to an electrical signal of the first control unit 4a which will be described later. . For example, when the fuel supply is required, the fuel valve 121a is opened and the pump is operated. When the supply is to be stopped, the fuel valve 121a is closed and the pump may be stopped.

On the other hand, the heating unit 113 may raise the raw material disposed and supplied upstream of the reduced water flow rate control unit 114 and the fuel flow rate control unit 121 to a predetermined temperature. The heating unit 113 may include a heater (not shown) and a temperature sensor (not shown). Here, the heater may be adopted in the form of a hot wire or a heat exchanger. The heating unit may install a pipe on an outer wall of the tank (not shown), and supply a hot gas into the pipe to heat the raw material in the tank. Each raw material may be raised to a set temperature, for example, 60 to 70 ° C. when reaching the output terminal of the heating unit 113. At this temperature, the reducing water and the fuel may be uniformly mixed.

The high temperature raw material from each heating part 113 may be quantitatively supplied to the first tank 13 by an amount satisfying the mixing ratio set through the reducing water flow rate adjusting unit 114 and the fuel flow rate adjusting unit 121, respectively. . The amount of the supplied raw material is pumped according to the ratio set based on the information of the flow meter (not shown) connected to the output terminal of each raw material pipe and the mixing ratio information of the reduced water and fuel measured by the first sensor 131 which will be described later. It can be controlled by adjusting the speed and the degree of opening and closing the valve.

The first tank 13 may be a means for mixing and storing the reducing water and the fuel. Each high temperature raw material is accommodated in the first tank 13, it is preferable that the two raw materials are sequentially introduced to be properly mixed in the first tank (13). The first tank 13 may have a mixing edge data (not shown) or a mixing stirrer (mixing pan) (not shown) and a level sensor (not shown) therein. The mixing edge data or the mixing stirrer inside the first tank 13 may be rotated at a high speed by a motor (not shown) to prevent oil / water separation of mixed raw materials.

The level sensor may measure the amount of mixed oil in the first tank 13. The controller 4 can keep the level of the mixed oil constant based on the measured amount of the mixed oil. For example, when the mixed oil is discharged from the first tank 13, the level of the mixed oil is lowered. As described later, the controller 4 senses the level of the mixed oil by a level sensor so that the pump upstream is driven. By controlling the amount of raw materials to be replenished, the amount of mixed oil can be kept constant at all times inside the mixing tank 15.

The first sensor 131 may measure a mixing ratio at which the mixed oil in the first tank 13 is mixed. For example, the first sensor 131 may be a microphoto sensor. The first sensor 131 may include a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and the light emitting unit may radiate a predetermined amount of light to the mixed oil, and measure the amount of received light reflected from the surface of the mixed oil through the mixed oil in the light receiving unit.

The controller 4 to be described later may control the mixing ratio of the mixed oil by controlling the reducing water flow rate adjusting unit 114 and / or the fuel flow rate adjusting unit 121 based on the light receiving amount information of the above-described light. For reference, as the content of the fuel is higher and the amount of dark fuel and water is mixed, the light receiving amount may be smaller. On the basis of this fact, the mixing ratio information can be obtained through the light receiving amount.

The emulsifying unit 2 may be a part for emulsifying the mixed oil. In the present embodiment, the two liquids may be reduced water and fuel.

The emulsifying unit 2 may be a part for receiving emulsified oil from the supply unit 1. The emulsifying unit 2 may include a first emulsifying unit 21, a second emulsifying unit 22, and a second tank 23.

The first emulsifying unit 21 may generate the first emulsified oil by agitating the mixed oil of the reduced water and the fuel stored in the first tank 13. The first emulsion unit 21 may include at least one homomixer 211 and a pump (not shown).

The first emulsifying unit 21 may be a portion for performing primary emulsification while passing the mixed oil supplied from the first tank 13 through the homomixer 211. The pump may be installed in a pipe between the first tank 13 and the homo mixer 211 to supply the mixed oil to the homo mixer 211.

The homomixer 211 is a homogenizer, also called a homogenizer, which can stir two liquid phases which do not dissolve with each other to make a homogeneous liquid. In this embodiment, it can be employed as a means for emulsifying the mixed oil to prepare a primary emulsion oil. The homomixer 211 may include a high speed rotation motor, a rotor 211a and a stator 211b connected to the motor and having a plurality of blades, and a housing (not shown) in which the inlet pipe and the discharge pipe are formed. have.

As the rotor 211a is rotated at a high speed, the mixed oil introduced into the homomixer 211 may be emulsified. Specifically, the rotor 211a may suck the mixed oil while rotating at a high speed with respect to the stator 211b. As the mixed oil sucked flows through a minute gap between the stator 211b and the rotor 211a, the bonding between the particles may be sheared. These particles can be dispersed and mixed with each other while exiting the hole formed in the stator 211b. At this time, the size of the particles may be determined according to the gap between the rotor 211a and the stator 211b. Preferably, the gap may be about 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm.

The mixed oil of the anion water reduced water and the fuel may be reconstituted into particles having a fine size by the homomixer 211, mixed with each other, and emulsified primarily to prepare the first emulsion oil. Due to the primary emulsification, the second emulsification of the first emulsified oil in which the mixed oil is emulsified can improve the emulsification degree, and can reduce the time required for the second emulsification.

More specifically, the mixed oil introduced into the housing of the homo mixer 211 stays inside the homo mixer 211 for a predetermined time while gradually rising from the lower part to the upper part of the housing together with the rotational motion by the rotor 211a. do. With the rotor 211a rotating at approximately 3000-5000 rpm during the stay, the mixed oil may be pulverized and granulated to produce a primary emulsified oil.

Meanwhile, in the modified embodiment, the homomixer 211 may be configured as a rotor (not shown) including a plurality of blades without a stator. The rotor is rotated at high speed, whereby the mixed oil can be mixed and emulsified to produce a primary emulsified oil. Three to five rotors may be provided.

The first emulsified oil may flow out of the discharge pipe at the top of the homomixer 211 and flow into the second emulsifying unit 22.

The second emulsifying unit 22 may include at least one line mixer 221 and a pump (not shown). The second emulsifying unit 22 may be a portion that allows the second emulsifying oil to pass through the first emulsifying unit 21 to the line mixer 221 at a high pressure through a pump.

The second emulsifying unit 22 may receive the second emulsified oil from the first emulsifying unit 21 to shear and stir the particles, thereby generating the second emulsified oil. For high quality emulsification, the primary emulsified oil from the homomixer 211 may be supplied to the inlet pipe of the line mixer 221 at a high temperature at an appropriate pressure and quantity.

The motor of the pump may operate at a constant speed so that the mixed oil is supplied to the line mixer 221 at a constant pressure at all times so that the second emulsion oil generated is a fixed amount. A pressure gauge (not shown) is installed to allow the pump to pump the primary emulsion oil at an appropriate pressure. Based on the output information of the pressure gauge, the controller 4 controls the motor of the pump (not shown) to adjust the speed thereof. You can change it.

The line mixer 221 may include at least one rotor 221a and a stator 221b. The rotor 221a of the line mixer 221 may include more blades than the rotor 211a of the homomixer 211. The line mixer 221 may pass the first emulsion oil between the minute gaps between the stator 221b and the rotor 221a to lower cohesion between the particles and disperse and crush the particles. The line mixer 221 may continuously supply the second emulsion oil to the second tank 23 by acting as a pump in the structure of the rotor 221a and the stator 221b.

For example, when the rotor 221a inside the line mixer 221 rotates at a high speed, the first emulsion oil is sucked into the line mixer 221, and the suctioned first emulsion oil is a line mixer 221 by centrifugal force. In the radial direction at the center of the), the particles forming the primary emulsified oil can be crushed strongly by high-speed rotation to maintain a fine gap between the inner wall of the stator (221b) and the outer side of the rotor (221a). have.

Preferably the gap may be about 0.05mm ~ 0.1mm and the rotation speed of the rotor 221a may be 3000 ~ 5000rpm. The secondary emulsified oil including the pulverized particles may be pumped by the cavitation while flowing through the minute holes formed in the stator 221b at a high speed and flow into the second tank 23 along the pipe. . Preferably, the rotor 221a and the stator 221b set of the line mixer 221 may be provided with three to five to improve the emulsification performance.

The first and second emulsifiers 21 and 22 may include a plurality of rotors 211a and 221a and stators 211b and 221b, respectively, thereby increasing the emulsifying performance. In addition, the first emulsion unit 21 may include a plurality of homo mixers 211, and the second emulsion unit 22 may also include a plurality of line mixers 221.

3 is a view showing a rotor and a stator of the homomixer of the emulsion oil production system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4 is a view showing a rotor and a stator of the line mixer of the emulsion oil production system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 and 4, the difference between the rotors 211a and 221a and the stators 211b and 221b of the homo mixer 211 and the line mixer 221 will be described. The stator of the homomixer 211 has a number of small holes in the radial direction, there are not many blades of the rotor 211a, so that a strong suction of the solution at high speed rotation, the narrow gap between the rotor 211a and the stator 211b Shearing can occur in the process of dispersing and emulsifying the material. In particular, compared to the line mixer 221, the suction power is stronger and the mixing power can be seen as a feature.

The line mixer 221 circulates, disperses, and emulsifies the solution introduced into the line mixer 221, so that pumping and shearing may occur simultaneously. The line mixer 221 may be provided with a plurality of stators 221b as compared to the homo mixer 211, and may also be provided with a plurality of blades of the rotor 221a to have excellent shear force. In addition, the discharge pipe for discharging the material is disposed in the radial direction of the stator 221b, the fluid is pumped out to the side of the stator 221b by the cavitation by the rotation of the rotor 221a is characterized in that the discharge.

Emulsified oil manufacturing system 1000 is a waste of water, fuel, mixed oil, emulsified oils are accumulated in each component or pipe along the path of fuel when long-term use or operation is stopped for a long time. Oil production is impossible or the quality of the produced emulsified oil may be degraded.

In particular, the waste material is adhered to the rotor 211a and the stator 211b of the homomixer 211 and / or the rotor 221a and the stator 221b of the line mixer 221 so that the first emulsion 21 and / or There exists a possibility that the emulsification ability of the 2nd emulsion part 22 may fall.

In order to solve such a concern, the washing unit performs washing of the rotor 211a and the stator 211b of the homomixer 211 and / or the rotor 221a and the stator 221b of the line mixer 221, thereby producing emulsified oil. The system 1000 may be operated in an optimal state.

For example, the cleaner may perform ultrasonic cleaning. An ultrasonic generator (not shown) may be provided inside the homo mixer 211 and / or the line mixer 221 to generate ultrasonic waves with high frequency in the fluid to vibrate the molecules of the fluid to generate the rotor and stator. The washing can be carried out in a short time up to the gap. The cleaning unit may directly irradiate ultrasonic waves to the rotor and the stator. The washing of the washing unit can be controlled by the control unit (4).

The second tank 23 may be a part for receiving and storing the second emulsion oil from the second emulsion part 22. The second emulsified oil flows out of the discharge pipe at the top of the line mixer 221 and is stored in the second tank 23. The storage tank is equipped with a temperature sensor, a level sensor, and a heater so that the secondary oil can be maintained at an appropriate temperature and level at all times.

Here, the heater is not limited to a specific form, but it is preferable to use an indirect heating heater using radiation or conduction that can supply heat indirectly. By this heater, the secondary emulsified oil in the second tank 23 can be maintained at a temperature of at least usually 60 ° C. One side of the second tank 23 may be provided with a discharge valve for discharging the secondary emulsion oil to the combustion unit (3).

In addition, the second tank 23 may include a second sensor 231 for measuring the degree of emulsification, which is the degree at which the second emulsified oil is emulsified. For example, the second sensor 231 may be a MICROPHOTO sensor. The second sensor 231 includes a light emitting part and a light receiving part, and the light emitting part irradiates the second emulsified oil with a predetermined amount of light and is transmitted through the second emulsified oil and / or reflected from the surface of the second emulsified oil. The amount of light received can be measured.

The combustion unit 3 may be a part for receiving and supplying the second emulsion oil from the second tank 23. The combustion unit 3 may burn and consume secondary emulsion oil, that is, emulsion oil, stored in the second tank 23. Since the combustion unit 3 may be a conventional boiler or an internal combustion engine that burns emulsified oil as a combustion device, the detailed description of the configuration and operation of the combustion device included in the combustion unit 3 will be described herein. It will be omitted.
