Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fuel system for marine vessels such as e.g. cargo ships or freighters that is suitable for handling fuel in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion.
  • marine vessels such as e.g. cargo ships or freighters that is suitable for handling fuel in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion.
  • Such marine vessels typically use a large multi-cylinder self-igniting combustion engine for propulsion .
  • Heavy fuel oil is a residual-type fuel oil with a high viscosity. Residual means the material remaining after the more valuable cuts of crude oil have boiled off. The viscosity nature of the oil means that the oil must be heated, usually by a recirculated low pressure steam system, to ensure that the oil has a viscosity low enough so that it can be pumped. Heavy Fuel Oil, (bunker fuel) has a relatively low costs compared to distillate type oil.
  • oil- in-water emulsion fuels provide an alternative means of utilizing heavy hydrocarbons (e.g. residual material, or other hydrocarbons with high viscosity, high density, low flowability) as a fuel for energy production.
  • Heavy hydrocarbons e.g. residual material, or other hydrocarbons with high viscosity, high density, low flowability
  • Oil-in- water emulsion fuels utilize water as the diluent, providing the many potential benefits both in terms of price and performance.
  • oil-in-water emulsion fuels have very different characteristics from heavy fuel oil. Basically, the oil-in-water emulsion fuels have two separate viscosities in one fluid, the one viscosity being viscosity of the water itself and the other viscosity being the viscosity of the oil itself.
  • the oil in the oil-in-water fuel emulsion is typically a very high viscous low-cost very heavy residual. Due to the high viscosity of the oil component in the oil-in-water fuel emulsion an operation temperature above ambient is desirable. However, the oil-in-water emulsion fuel should not start to boil and therefore the operation temperature is limited to the boiling temperature of the water under the presiding pressure in the system. Further, oil-in- water emulsion fuels are inherently instable and mechanical action on this type of fuel, such as pumping, throttling or similar activity can lead to deterioration of the oil-in-water emulsion fuel and lead to the emulsion breaking up into oil and water. Thus, in comparison with heavy fuel oil that can be heated to temperatures well above the boiling temperature of water and that has practically no restrictions on mechanical handling a fuel system for handling oil-in-water emulsion fuel needs to take account for greater restrictions due to the nature of the fuel.
