Description

EGRシステムEGR system
 本発明は、内燃機関の燃焼室から排出された排ガスの一部を燃焼室に戻すことで、排ガス中のNOxを低減するEGRシステムに関するものである。 The present invention relates to an EGR system that reduces NOx in exhaust gas by returning a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine to the combustion chamber.
 排ガス中のNOxを低減するものとしては、排ガス再循環(EGR)がある。このEGRは、内燃機関の燃焼室から排気ラインに排出された排ガスの一部を排気ガス再循環ラインに分岐し、燃焼用空気に混入して燃焼用ガスとし、燃焼室に戻すものである。そのため、燃焼用ガスは、酸素濃度が低下し、燃料と酸素との反応である燃焼の速度を遅らせることで燃焼温度が低下し、NOxの発生量を減少させることができる。 An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is one that reduces NOx in the exhaust gas. This EGR branches a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to the exhaust line to the exhaust gas recirculation line, mixes it in the combustion air to make it a combustion gas, and returns it to the combustion chamber. Therefore, the combustion gas has a reduced oxygen concentration, and the combustion temperature is reduced by delaying the rate of combustion, which is the reaction between the fuel and oxygen, whereby the amount of NOx generation can be reduced.
 ところで、排気ガス再循環ラインは、配管により構成されており、EGR運転時には、排ガス(排気再循環ガス)が流れている。この排ガスは、NOxやSOxなどの腐食成分が含まれていることから、この腐食成分が配管の内面に付着して残留する。この腐食成分は、酸露点以下になると、硝酸や硫酸となり、配管が腐食してしまうおそれがある。なお、硫酸結露による脱硝触媒の劣化を防止するものとして、例えば、特許文献1に記載されたものがある。 By the way, the exhaust gas recirculation line is constituted by piping, and at the time of EGR operation, exhaust gas (exhaust gas recirculation gas) flows. Since this exhaust gas contains corrosive components such as NOx and SOx, the corrosive components adhere and remain on the inner surface of the pipe. When this corrosive component is below the acid dew point, it becomes nitric acid or sulfuric acid, which may cause corrosion of the piping. In addition, there exist some which were described in patent document 1, for example as what prevents deterioration of the NOx removal catalyst by sulfuric acid condensation.
特開2014-031756号公報JP, 2014-031756, A
 上述した特許文献1に記載されたレシプロエンジン用排ガス脱硝設備は、硫酸結露による脱硝触媒の劣化を防止するものであり、排気再循環ガスに含まれる腐食成分に対応するものではない。 The exhaust gas denitration equipment for a reciprocating engine described in Patent Document 1 described above prevents deterioration of the denitration catalyst due to sulfuric acid condensation, and does not correspond to the corrosive component contained in the exhaust gas recirculation gas.
 本発明は上述した課題を解決するものであり、排気ガス再循環ラインに残留する腐食成分を除去することで配管腐食を防止するEGRシステムを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an EGR system that prevents pipe corrosion by removing corrosive components remaining in an exhaust gas recirculation line.
 上記の目的を達成するための本発明のEGRシステムは、エンジンから排出された排ガスの一部を燃焼用ガスの一部として前記エンジンに再循環する排ガス再循環ラインと、前記排ガス再循環ラインに設けられるEGR入口バルブと、前記排ガス再循環ラインにパージガスを供給して残留する腐食成分を排出するパージ装置と、を備えることを特徴とするものである。 In order to achieve the above object, the EGR system of the present invention comprises an exhaust gas recirculation line for recirculating a part of exhaust gas discharged from an engine to the engine as a part of combustion gas, and the exhaust gas recirculation line It is characterized by comprising an EGR inlet valve provided, and a purge device for supplying a purge gas to the exhaust gas recirculation line to discharge the remaining corrosive components.
 従って、EGR入口バルブが開放されると、エンジンから排出された排ガスの一部が排ガス再循環ラインに供給され、スクラバにより排ガスから有害物質が除去された後にエンジンに再循環される。その後、EGR入口バルブが閉止されると、排ガス再循環ラインにスクラバで除去されなかった腐食成分が残留する。このとき、パージ装置が排ガス再循環ラインにパージガスを供給すると、排ガス再循環ラインに残留した腐食成分がパージガスと共に排出される。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインに残留する腐食成分を除去することで、排ガス再循環ラインを構成する配管の腐食を防止することができる。 Therefore, when the EGR inlet valve is opened, a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine is supplied to the exhaust gas recirculation line and recirculated to the engine after the scrubber has removed harmful substances from the exhaust gas. Thereafter, when the EGR inlet valve is closed, corrosive components that have not been removed by the scrubber remain in the exhaust gas recirculation line. At this time, when the purge device supplies the purge gas to the exhaust gas recirculation line, the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation line are discharged together with the purge gas.

That is, the control device 60 does not receive the EGR operation start signal S1 if the current operation area of the ship is outside the ECA (NOx control area) that regulates the emission of NOx, and the EGR inlet valve 41 and the EGR outlet valve 51, the purge valve 61 is closed and the driving of the EGR blower 50 is stopped. Then, the entire exhaust gas from the engine body 11 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3.
 一方、制御装置60は、現在の船舶の運航海域がNOxの排出量を規制するECA(NOx規制海域)内であれば、EGR運転開始信号S1が入力され、EGR入口バルブ41、EGR出口バルブ51を開放すると共に、EGRブロワ50を駆動する。すると、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスは、一部が排気ラインG3から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給される。 On the other hand, if the current operation area of the ship is within the ECA (NOx control area) which regulates the emission of NOx, the control device 60 receives the EGR operation start signal S1 and the EGR inlet valve 41 and the EGR outlet valve 51 As well as driving the EGR blower 50. Then, a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 is supplied from the exhaust line G3 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7.
 そして、制御装置60は、現在の船舶の運航海域がECA内からECA外に移動すると、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力され、EGRブロワ50の回転数を低下させる。その後、EGR入口バルブ41を閉止し、パージバルブ61を開放させる。すると、エンジン本体11からの排ガスは、全量が排気ラインG3から外部に排出される。また、パージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給された空気は、この排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7、給気ラインG1を通してエンジン本体11の掃気トランク22に送給される。 Then, when the current operation area of the ship moves from the inside of the ECA to the outside of the ECA, the control device 60 receives the EGR operation stop signal S2 and reduces the rotational speed of the EGR blower 50. Thereafter, the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed and the purge valve 61 is opened. Then, the entire exhaust gas from the engine body 11 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3. Further, the air supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 is supplied to the scavenging trunk 22 of the engine body 11 through the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 and the air supply line G1.
 以下、第1実施形態のEGRシステムの作用を説明する。エンジン本体11は、掃気トランク22からシリンダ21内に燃焼用空気が供給されると、ピストンによってこの燃焼用空気が圧縮され、この高温の空気に対して燃料が噴射されることで自然着火し、燃焼する。そして、発生した燃焼ガスは、排ガスとして排気マニホールド23から排気ラインG2に排出される。エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスは、過給機12におけるタービン32を回転した後、排気ラインG3に排出され、EGR入口バルブ41が閉止しているときは、全量が排気ラインG3から外部に排出される。 Hereinafter, the operation of the EGR system of the first embodiment will be described. When the combustion air is supplied from the scavenging air trunk 22 into the cylinder 21 from the scavenging air trunk 22, the combustion air is compressed by the piston, and the fuel is injected to the high-temperature air to cause natural ignition. To burn. Then, the generated combustion gas is discharged from the exhaust manifold 23 to the exhaust line G2 as an exhaust gas. The exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 is discharged to the exhaust line G3 after rotating the turbine 32 in the turbocharger 12. When the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed, the entire amount is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3. Be done.
 一方、EGR入口バルブ41及びEGR出口バルブ51が開放しているとき、排ガスは、その一部が排気ラインG3から排ガス再循環ラインG4に流れる。排ガス再循環ラインG4に流れた排ガスは、スクラバ42により、有害物質が除去される。即ち、スクラバ42は、排ガスがベンチュリ部44を高速で通過するとき、水噴射部46から水を噴射することで、この水により排ガスを冷却すると共に、有害物質を水と共に落下させて除去する。 On the other hand, when the EGR inlet valve 41 and the EGR outlet valve 51 are open, a part of the exhaust gas flows from the exhaust line G3 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4. A scrubber 42 removes harmful substances from the exhaust gas that has flowed into the exhaust gas recirculation line G4. That is, when the exhaust gas passes through the venturi section 44 at high speed, the scrubber 42 injects water from the water injection section 46, thereby cooling the exhaust gas with this water and dropping harmful substances together with the water to remove it.
 スクラバ42により有害物質が除去された排ガスは、排ガス再循環ラインG5に排出され、デミスタユニット49により排ガスと排水が分離された後、EGRブロワ50および排ガス再循環ラインG7を介して過給機12に送られる。そして、この排ガスは、吸入ラインG6から吸入された空気と混合されて燃焼用ガスとなり、過給機12のコンプレッサ31で圧縮された後、エアクーラ52で冷却され、給気ラインG1からエンジン本体11に供給される。 The exhaust gas from which harmful substances have been removed by the scrubber 42 is discharged to the exhaust gas recirculation line G5, and after the exhaust gas and the drainage are separated by the demister unit 49, the turbocharger 12 is connected via the EGR blower 50 and the exhaust gas recirculation line G7. Sent to Then, this exhaust gas is mixed with the air taken in from the suction line G6 to become a combustion gas, compressed by the compressor 31 of the turbocharger 12, and then cooled by the air cooler 52, and from the air supply line G1 to the engine main body 11 Supplied to
 ここで、EGRシステムにおける排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ制御について説明する。図2は、EGRシステムにおけるEGR運転停止時のパージ制御を表すフローチャート、図3は、船舶の入港時におけるEGRシステムの作動を表すフローチャート、図4は、船舶の出港時におけるEGRシステムの作動を表すフローチャート、図5は、パージ時間に対する排気ガス再循環ラインのSO濃度を表すグラフ、図6は、パージ時間に対する排気ガス再循環ラインのSO濃度の詳細を表すグラフである。 Here, purge control of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 in the EGR system will be described. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the purge control at the time of EGR operation stop in the EGR system, FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of the EGR system at the time of entry of the ship, and FIG. 4 shows the action of the EGR system at the departure of the ship flowchart, Fig. 5 is a graph representing the SO 2 concentration in the exhaust gas recirculation line for the purge time, FIG. 6 is a graph showing the details of the SO 2 concentration in the exhaust gas recirculation line for purge time.
 EGR運転停止時のパージ制御について、図1及び図2に示すように、ステップS11にて、制御装置60は、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力されると、EGR運転停止シーケンスが開始され、ステップS12にて、EGRブロワ50の回転数を減少させ、ステップS13にて、EGRブロワ50の回転数が予め設定された回転数以下になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、EGRブロワ50の回転数が設定回転数以下になるまで待機し、EGRブロワ50の回転数が設定回転数以下になったら、ステップS16に移行する。また、ステップS14にて、EGR入口バルブ41の閉動作を開始し、ステップS15にて、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が予め設定された開度以下になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が設定開度以下になるまで待機し、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が設定開度以下になったら、EGR入口バルブ41の開度を微開状態に維持し、ステップS16に移行する。 Regarding purge control at the time of EGR operation stop, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when the EGR operation stop signal S2 is input in step S11, the control device 60 starts the EGR operation stop sequence, and step S12 Then, the rotational speed of the EGR blower 50 is decreased, and in step S13, it is determined whether the rotational speed of the EGR blower 50 has become equal to or less than a preset rotational speed. Here, the process waits until the rotational speed of the EGR blower 50 becomes equal to or less than the set rotational speed, and when the rotational speed of the EGR blower 50 becomes equal to or less than the set rotational speed, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S14, the closing operation of the EGR inlet valve 41 is started, and in step S15, it is determined whether the opening degree of the EGR inlet valve 41 has become equal to or less than a preset opening degree. Here, the process waits until the degree of opening of the EGR inlet valve 41 becomes less than the set degree of opening, and maintains the degree of opening of the EGR inlet valve 41 in a slightly open state when the degree of opening of the EGR inlet valve 41 becomes less than the set degree of opening. Then, the process proceeds to step S16.
 制御装置60は、ステップS16にて、パージバルブ61の開動作を開始し、ステップS17にて、パージバルブ61の開度が全開になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、パージバルブ61の開度が全開になるまで待機し、パージバルブ61の開度が全開になったら、ステップS18にて、EGR入口バルブ41の閉動作を再開し、ステップS19にて、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が予め設定された開度(ほぼ全閉)以下になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が全閉になるまで待機し、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が全閉になったら、ステップS20にて、排ガス再循環ラインG4のパージ処理を予め設定された規定時間だけ実行する。 In step S16, the control device 60 starts the opening operation of the purge valve 61, and in step S17, determines whether the opening degree of the purge valve 61 is fully opened. Here, the operation waits until the opening degree of the purge valve 61 is fully opened, and when the opening degree of the purge valve 61 is fully opened, the closing operation of the EGR inlet valve 41 is resumed in step S18, and the EGR inlet in step S19. It is determined whether or not the opening degree of the valve 41 has become equal to or less than a preset opening degree (almost fully closed). Here, the process waits until the opening degree of the EGR inlet valve 41 is fully closed, and when the opening degree of the EGR inlet valve 41 is fully closed, the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 is preset in step S20. Run for the specified time.
 即ち、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7、コンプレッサ31および給気ラインG1を介してエンジン本体11の掃気トランク22に連通されている。また、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7の途中には、EGRブロワ50が設けられていることから、EGRブロワ50を駆動することで、掃気トランク22側へのガス流れが作用する。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留していた腐食成分は、この空気により除去され、腐食成分を含むパージガスが掃気トランク22に送り込まれる。 That is, the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the compressor 31, and the air supply line G1 communicate with the scavenge air trunk 22 of the engine body 11. Further, since the EGR blower 50 is provided in the middle of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the gas flow to the scavenging trunk 22 side acts by driving the EGR blower 50. Therefore, the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are removed by the air, and the purge gas containing the corrosive components is sent to the scavenging trunk 22.
 制御装置60は、ステップS21にて、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が全閉したと判定されてから規定時間が経過したかどうかを判定する。ここで、規定時間が経過するまで排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理を実行する。この排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理時間は、予め設定されている。例えば、パージ処理を実行する機器や配管のボリューム(容積)をVm、単位時間当たりにパージガス供給ラインG11に取り込まれた空気量をV/min、パージ領域における腐食成分濃度をXppm、パージ時間をTとすると、T分後のパージ領域の平均濃度Xを下記数式により求めることができる。
  Xt+1={(XV)-(X)}/V
The control device 60 determines whether or not a specified time has elapsed since it was determined in step S21 that the degree of opening of the EGR inlet valve 41 is fully closed. Here, the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 is executed until the specified time has elapsed. The purge processing time of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 is set in advance. For example, the volume (volume) of the equipment or piping that executes the purge process is Vm 3 , the amount of air taken into the purge gas supply line G11 per unit time is V p m 3 / min, the concentration of corrosive components in the purge region is X 0 ppm, the purge time when is T, it is possible to determine the average density X t of the purge region after T minutes by the following equation.
X t + 1 = {(X t V)-(X t V p )} / V
 この算出方法に基づいて作成したものが図5及び図6に表すグラフである。図6は、図5の部分拡大図である。図5に示すように、パージ時間が5分になると、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7における腐食成分濃度が規定値位まで低下し、図6に示すように、パージ時間が10分になると、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7における腐食成分濃度がほぼ0ppmまで低下する。 What is created based on this calculation method is a graph shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. FIG. 6 is a partial enlarged view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, when the purge time is 5 minutes, the concentration of corrosive components in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 decreases to the specified value, and as shown in FIG. The concentration of corrosive components in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5 and G7 is reduced to almost 0 ppm.
 図1及び図2に戻り、ステップS21にて、EGR入口バルブ41の開度が全閉したと判定されてから規定時間が経過したら、ステップS22にて、EGRブロワ50の運転を停止する。続いて、ステップS23にて、パージバルブ61を閉止し、ステップS24にて、EGR出口バルブ51を閉止し、ステップS25にて、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理が完了する。 Referring back to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when it is determined in step S21 that the opening degree of the EGR inlet valve 41 is fully closed and the specified time has elapsed, the operation of the EGR blower 50 is stopped in step S22. Subsequently, in step S23, the purge valve 61 is closed, and in step S24, the EGR outlet valve 51 is closed. In step S25, the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 is completed.
 また、上述した排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理中にエンジン本体11の運転が停止すると、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留していた腐食成分を含むパージガスを掃気トランク22に送り込むことが困難となる。このため、本実施形態では入港前の段階(例えば、エンジン運転モードを港湾外航行モードから港湾内航行モード(フル・アヘッド(Full Ahead:港内速力での前進全速回転数))に切り換える段階)でEGR運転を停止する。EGR運転停止後は、上述のEGR運転停止時のパージ制御を実行する。 In addition, when the operation of the engine main body 11 is stopped during the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 described above, the purge gas containing the corrosive component remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 is scavenged It is difficult to feed Therefore, in the present embodiment, the stage before entering the port (for example, the stage of switching the engine operation mode from the out-of-port navigation mode to the in-port navigation mode (Full Ahead: full forward speed at harbor speed)). Stop the EGR operation. After the EGR operation is stopped, the above-described purge control at the time of the EGR operation stop is executed.
 第1実施形態のEGRシステムは、図3に示すように、入港前にECA(内でEGR運転を停止する。このため、パージ装置として、パージガス供給ラインG11と、パージバルブ61とを備えるだけで、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7から腐食成分を排出することができる。一方、出港時は、図4に示すように、ECA外でEGR運転を停止し、パージを行う。 The EGR system according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, stops the EGR operation in the ECA before entering the port. Therefore, only by providing the purge gas supply line G11 and the purge valve 61 as a purge device, The corrosive components can be discharged from the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G 7. On the other hand, at the time of leaving the port, the EGR operation is stopped outside the ECA and purging is performed as shown in FIG.
 このように第1実施形態のEGRシステムにあっては、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスの一部を燃焼用ガスの一部としてエンジン本体11に再循環する排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7と、排ガス再循環ラインG4に設けられるEGR入口バルブ41と、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7にパージガスを供給して残留する腐食成分を排出するパージ装置としてのパージガス供給ラインG11とを設けている。 As described above, in the EGR system of the first embodiment, the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 recirculate a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 to the engine body 11 as a part of the combustion gas. And an EGR inlet valve 41 provided in the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, and a purge gas supply line G11 as a purge device for supplying the purge gas to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 and discharging remaining corrosive components. There is.
 従って、EGR入口バルブ41が開放されると、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスの一部が排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給され、スクラバ42により排ガスから有害物質(SOxや煤塵)が除去された後にエンジン本体11に再循環される。その後、EGR入口バルブ41が閉止されると、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7にスクラバ42で除去されなかったまたは除去することができない腐食成分(SOxおよびNOx)が残留する。このとき、パージ装置がパージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7にパージガスを供給すると、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留した腐食成分がパージガスと共に排出される。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を除去することで、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を構成する配管の腐食を抑制することができる。 Therefore, after the EGR inlet valve 41 is opened, a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 is supplied to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, and after the scrubber 42 removes harmful substances (SOx and dust) from the exhaust gas. It is recirculated to the engine body 11. Thereafter, when the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed, corrosive components (SOx and NOx) which are not removed or can not be removed by the scrubber 42 remain in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. At this time, when the purge device supplies the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are discharged together with the purge gas. Therefore, by removing the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the corrosion of the pipes constituting the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 can be suppressed.
 第1実施形態のEGRシステムでは、パージ装置として、パージガス供給ラインG11と、パージバルブ61を備えている。この場合、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7がパージガス排出ラインとして機能する。 In the EGR system of the first embodiment, a purge gas supply line G11 and a purge valve 61 are provided as a purge device. In this case, the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 function as purge gas discharge lines.
 従って、パージガス供給ラインG11からパージガスを排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給し、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7からパージガスとともに腐食成分を排出することができる。即ち、パージガスの供給と腐食成分の排出を適正に実施することができる。 Therefore, the purge gas can be supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, and the corrosive components can be discharged together with the purge gas from the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. That is, the supply of the purge gas and the discharge of the corrosive component can be properly performed.
 第1実施形態のEGRシステムでは、パージ装置は、外気(空気)をパージガスとしてパージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給する。従って、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に空気を供給して残留する腐食成分を排出することから、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に腐食成分を残留させることなく、パージ処理することができ、また、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に一端部が大気に開放されたパージガス供給ラインG11を連結するだけでよく、パージ装置の配管系を簡素化することができる。 In the EGR system of the first embodiment, the purge device supplies outside air (air) as a purge gas from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. Therefore, since air is supplied to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 to discharge the remaining corrosive components, it is possible to purge without leaving any corrosive components in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. The exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, and G7 may be connected to the purge gas supply line G11 whose one end is open to the atmosphere, and the piping system of the purge device can be simplified.
 第1実施形態のEGRシステムでは、パージ装置として、排ガス再循環ラインG4におけるEGR入口バルブ41とスクラバ42との間に連結されるパージガス供給ラインG11と、パージガス供給ラインG11を開閉するパージバルブ61とを設けている。従って、EGR入口バルブ41が閉止されると、パージバルブ61を開放することで、パージガスがパージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給されることとなり、スクラバ42、デミスタユニット49およびEGRブロワ50を含む排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を除去することができ、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を適正に除去することができる。 In the EGR system of the first embodiment, as a purge device, there are a purge gas supply line G11 connected between the EGR inlet valve 41 and the scrubber 42 in the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, and a purge valve 61 for opening and closing the purge gas supply line G11. It is provided. Therefore, when the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed, the purge gas is supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 by opening the purge valve 61, and the scrubber 42, the demister unit 49 and Corrosion components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 including the EGR blower 50 can be removed, and corrosion components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 can be properly removed.
 第1実施形態のEGRシステムでは、パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG11からのパージガスを排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7からエンジン本体11に送給する。従って、腐食成分をエンジン本体11で処理することができると共に、エンジン本体11からの排ガスを処理することで、外部への放出を抑制することができる。 In the EGR system of the first embodiment, the purge device supplies the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G11 to the engine body 11 from the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. Therefore, while being able to process a corrosive component with engine main part 11, by processing exhaust gas from engine main part 11, discharge to the exterior can be controlled.
 第1実施形態のEGRシステムでは、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力したときにEGR入口バルブ41を閉止してパージバルブ61を所定期間だけ開放する制御装置60を設けている。従って、EGR運転が停止すると、パージガスがパージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給されることとなり、パージガスにより早期に排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を除去することができる。 The EGR system according to the first embodiment is provided with a control device 60 that closes the EGR inlet valve 41 and opens the purge valve 61 for a predetermined period when the EGR operation stop signal S2 is input. Therefore, when the EGR operation is stopped, the purge gas is supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, and corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 at an early stage by the purge gas are It can be removed.
 第1実施形態のEGRシステムでは、入港前にEGR運転を停止したのちにパージバルブ61を所定期間だけ開放し、その後エンジン運転を停止する。従って、EGR運転が停止し、エンジン本体11の運転が停止する前にパージガスがパージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給されることとなり、パージガスにより早期に排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を除去することができる。 In the EGR system of the first embodiment, after stopping the EGR operation before entering the port, the purge valve 61 is opened for a predetermined period, and then the engine operation is stopped. Accordingly, the purge gas is supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 before the EGR operation is stopped and the operation of the engine main body 11 is stopped. , G5, and G7 can be removed.
[第2実施形態]
 図7は、第2実施形態のEGRシステムを表す概略構成図である。なお、上述した実施形態と同様の機能を有する部材には、同一の符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
Second Embodiment
FIG. 7 is a schematic block diagram showing the EGR system of the second embodiment. The members having the same functions as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
 第2実施形態のパージ装置は、図7に示すように、パージガス供給ラインG11と、パージバルブ61と、パージガス排出ラインG12と、排気バルブ62とを備えている。この場合、排ガス再循環ラインG7が第1パージガス排出ラインとして機能し、パージガス排出ラインG12が第2パージガス排出ラインとして機能する。パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG11からパージガスを供給し、排ガス再循環ラインG7またはパージガス排出ラインG12からパージガスと腐食成分を排出する。 The purge apparatus according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, includes a purge gas supply line G11, a purge valve 61, a purge gas discharge line G12, and an exhaust valve 62. In this case, the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 functions as a first purge gas discharge line, and the purge gas discharge line G12 functions as a second purge gas discharge line. The purge device supplies a purge gas from a purge gas supply line G11, and discharges a purge gas and a corrosive component from an exhaust gas recirculation line G7 or a purge gas discharge line G12.
 パージガス排出ラインG12は、一端部が排ガス再循環ラインG7の中途部に接続され、他端部が排気ラインG3の中途部に連結されている。より具体的には、パージガス排出ラインG12の一端部は、EGRブロワ50の出口とEGR出口バルブ(流量制御弁)51との間の排ガス再循環ラインG7の中途部に接続され、他端部がタービン32の出口と、排気ラインG3と排ガス再循環ラインG4との接続部との間に接続される。 One end of the purge gas discharge line G12 is connected to the middle of the exhaust gas recirculation line G7, and the other end is connected to the middle of the exhaust line G3. More specifically, one end of the purge gas discharge line G12 is connected to the middle of the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 between the outlet of the EGR blower 50 and the EGR outlet valve (flow control valve) 51, and the other end is It is connected between the outlet of the turbine 32 and the connection between the exhaust line G3 and the exhaust gas recirculation line G4.
 排気バルブ62は、パージガス排出ラインG12を開閉可能となっている。そのため、EGR出口バルブ(流量制御弁)51を閉止し、排気バルブ62を開放すると、EGRシステム13の内部を流れるガスがパージガス排出ラインG12を通して排気ラインG3に排出される。 The exhaust valve 62 can open and close the purge gas discharge line G12. Therefore, when the EGR outlet valve (flow control valve) 51 is closed and the exhaust valve 62 is opened, the gas flowing inside the EGR system 13 is exhausted to the exhaust line G3 through the purge gas exhaust line G12.
 制御装置60は、船舶の運航状態(運航海域)に応じてEGR入口バルブ41、EGR出口バルブ51、パージバルブ61、排気バルブ62を開閉制御可能であると共に、EGRブロワ50を駆動制御可能である。 The control device 60 can control the opening and closing of the EGR inlet valve 41, the EGR outlet valve 51, the purge valve 61, and the exhaust valve 62 according to the operation state (operating sea area) of the ship, and can control the driving of the EGR blower 50.
 制御装置60は、船舶の運航状態(運航海域)に応じてEGR入口バルブ41、EGR出口バルブ51、パージバルブ61、排気バルブ62を開閉制御可能であると共に、EGRブロワ50を駆動制御可能である。即ち、制御装置60は、現在の船舶の運航海域がNOxの排出量を規制するECA外であれば、EGR運転開始信号S1の入力がなく、EGR入口バルブ41、EGR出口バルブ51、パージバルブ61、排気バルブ62を閉止すると共に、EGRブロワ50の駆動を停止する。すると、エンジン本体11からの排ガスは、全量が排気ラインG3から外部に排出される。 The control device 60 can control the opening and closing of the EGR inlet valve 41, the EGR outlet valve 51, the purge valve 61, and the exhaust valve 62 according to the operation state (operating sea area) of the ship, and can control the driving of the EGR blower 50. That is, the control device 60 does not receive the EGR operation start signal S1 if the current operation area of the ship is outside the ECA that regulates the emission amount of NOx, and the EGR inlet valve 41, the EGR outlet valve 51, the purge valve 61, The exhaust valve 62 is closed and the driving of the EGR blower 50 is stopped. Then, the entire exhaust gas from the engine body 11 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3.
 一方、制御装置60は、現在の船舶の運航海域がNOxの排出量を規制するECA内であれば、EGR運転開始信号S1が入力され、EGR入口バルブ41、EGR出口バルブ51を開放すると共に、EGRブロワ50を駆動する。すると、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスは、一部が排気ラインG3から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給される。 On the other hand, when the current operation area of the ship is within the ECA that regulates the emission of NOx, the control device 60 receives the EGR operation start signal S1 and opens the EGR inlet valve 41 and the EGR outlet valve 51. The EGR blower 50 is driven. Then, a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 is supplied from the exhaust line G3 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7.
 そして、制御装置60は、現在の船舶の運航海域がECA内からECA外に移動すると、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力され、EGRブロワ50の回転数を低下させる。その後、EGR入口バルブ41を閉止し、パージバルブ61を開放させる。すると、エンジン本体11からの排ガスは、全量が排気ラインG3から外部に排出される。また、パージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給された空気は、この排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7、給気ラインG1を通してエンジン本体11の掃気トランク22に送給される。 Then, when the current operation area of the ship moves from the inside of the ECA to the outside of the ECA, the control device 60 receives the EGR operation stop signal S2 and reduces the rotational speed of the EGR blower 50. Thereafter, the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed and the purge valve 61 is opened. Then, the entire exhaust gas from the engine body 11 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3. Further, the air supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 is supplied to the scavenging trunk 22 of the engine body 11 through the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 and the air supply line G1.
 また、制御装置60は、EGRガスのパージ中に、何らかの原因でエンジン本体11が停止すると、エンジン運転停止信号S3が入力され、EGR出口バルブ51を閉止し、排気バルブ62を開放する。すると、パージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給された空気は、この排ガス再循環ラインG4からガス排出ラインG5、排ガス供給ラインG7、パージガス排出ラインG12、排気ラインG3を通して外部に排出される。 Further, when the engine body 11 is stopped for some reason during the purge of the EGR gas, the control device 60 receives the engine operation stop signal S3, closes the EGR outlet valve 51, and opens the exhaust valve 62. Then, the air supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 is discharged from the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 to the outside through the gas discharge line G5, the exhaust gas supply line G7, the purge gas discharge line G12, and the exhaust line G3. .
 以下、第2実施形態のEGRシステムの作用を説明する。第2実施形態のEGRシステムはエンジン本体11の運転が停止した後であっても、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留していた腐食成分を除去できる点で第1実施形態のEGRシステムと異なる。 Hereinafter, the operation of the EGR system of the second embodiment will be described. The EGR system according to the second embodiment can remove the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 even after the operation of the engine body 11 is stopped. It is different from
 ここで、EGRシステムにおける排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ制御について説明する。図8は、EGRシステムにおけるエンジン運転停止時のパージ制御を表すフローチャートで、図9は、船舶の入港時におけるEGRシステムの作動を表すフローチャートである。 Here, purge control of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 in the EGR system will be described. FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing purge control at the time of engine operation stop in the EGR system, and FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the operation of the EGR system at the time of entry of a ship.
 エンジン運転停止時のパージ制御について、図7及び図8に示すように、ステップS31にて、制御装置60は、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理の実行中あるいはパージ処理の実行前に、エンジン運転停止信号(パージ処理開始信号)S3が入力されると、パージシーケンスが開始され、ステップS32にて、パージバルブ61の開動作を開始し、ステップS33にて、パージバルブ61の開度が全開になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、パージバルブ61の開度が全開になるまで待機し、パージバルブ61の開度が全開になったら、ステップS34に移行する。なお、ステップS32,S33の処理は、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理の実行中であれば、既にパージバルブ61の開度が全開であり、そのままステップS34に移行する。 Regarding purge control at the time of engine operation stop, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in step S31, the control device 60 is executing purge processing of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 or before execution of the purge processing. When the engine operation stop signal (purge process start signal) S3 is input, the purge sequence is started, and in step S32, the opening operation of the purge valve 61 is started, and in step S33, the opening degree of the purge valve 61 is Determine if it is fully open. Here, the process waits until the opening degree of the purge valve 61 is fully opened, and when the opening degree of the purge valve 61 is fully opened, the process proceeds to step S34. In the processes of steps S32 and S33, if the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, and G7 is being performed, the opening degree of the purge valve 61 is already fully open, and the process directly proceeds to step S34.
 制御装置60は、ステップS34にて、排気バルブ62の開動作を開始し、ステップS35にて、排気バルブ62の開度が全開になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、排気バルブ62の開度が全開になるまで待機し、排気バルブ62の開度が全開になったら、ステップS36にて、EGRブロワ50の回転数を予め設定された回転数まで減少させる。そして、ステップS37にて、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理を予め設定された規定時間だけ実行する。即ち、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7は、EGRブロワ50が駆動し、排気バルブ62が開放されていることから、排気ラインG3側へのガス流れが生じており、パージガス供給ラインG11から取り込まれた空気は、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7、パージガス排出ラインG12、排気ラインG3を通して外部に排出される。 In step S34, the control device 60 starts the opening operation of the exhaust valve 62, and determines in step S35 whether or not the opening degree of the exhaust valve 62 is fully open. Here, the process waits until the opening degree of the exhaust valve 62 is fully opened, and when the opening degree of the exhaust valve 62 is fully opened, the number of rotations of the EGR blower 50 is reduced to a preset number of rotations in step S36. . Then, in step S37, the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, and G7 is performed for a predetermined time set in advance. That is, since the EGR blower 50 is driven and the exhaust valve 62 is opened, the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5 and G7 generate a gas flow to the exhaust line G3 side, and are taken from the purge gas supply line G11. The exhausted air is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the purge gas exhaust line G12, and the exhaust line G3.
 制御装置60は、ステップS38にて、EGRブロワ50の回転数を減少させてから規定時間が経過したかどうかを判定する。ここで、規定時間が経過するまで排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理を実行し、規定時間が経過したら、ステップS39にて、EGRブロワ50の運転を停止し、ステップS40にて、パージバルブ61を閉止し、ステップS41にて、排気バルブ62を閉止し、ステップS42にて、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理が完了する。 At step S38, the control device 60 determines whether or not a specified time has elapsed since the number of revolutions of the EGR blower 50 has been reduced. Here, the purge processing of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 is performed until the specified time has elapsed, and when the specified time has elapsed, the operation of the EGR blower 50 is stopped in step S39, and in step S40. The purge valve 61 is closed, the exhaust valve 62 is closed in step S41, and the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 is completed in step S42.
 なお、ここでは、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理中に、エンジン本体11の運転が停止したときの排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理について説明したが、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理中でなくてもよい。例えば、EGR運転が停止すると共に、エンジン運転が停止しているとき、乗員がパージ処理スイッチをONすることで、制御装置60は、パージ処理開始信号を受け、上述した処理を実行してもよい。 Here, the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 when the operation of the engine main body 11 is stopped during the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 has been described. It is not necessary to purge the lines G4, G5 and G7. For example, when the EGR operation is stopped and the engine operation is stopped, the control device 60 may execute the above-described processing upon receiving a purge processing start signal by the occupant turning on the purge processing switch. .
 第2実施形態のEGRシステムにて、パージ装置は、船舶の運航状態に応じて、パージガスの排出を選択することができる。即ち、図9に示すように、船舶の入港時、ECA内で、エンジン及びEGRの運転が停止されると、排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給された空気を残留していた腐食成分と共に、排気ラインG3に排出する。一方、船舶の出航時は、図4と同様にECA外で、エンジンの運転が停止せずにEGRの運転が停止されると、排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給されたパージガスを残留していた腐食成分と共に、掃気トランク22(エンジン)に排出する。 In the EGR system of the second embodiment, the purge device can select discharge of the purge gas according to the operation state of the ship. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when the operation of the engine and the EGR is stopped in the ECA at the time of entry of the ship, the exhaust line together with the remaining corrosive components of the air supplied to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4. Discharge to G3. On the other hand, at the time of departure of the ship, as in FIG. 4, if the operation of the EGR is stopped without stopping the operation of the engine outside the ECA, the purge gas supplied to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 remains. It discharges to scavenging air trunk 22 (engine) with an ingredient.
 第2実施形態のEGRシステムでは、パージ装置として、パージガス供給ラインG11と、パージバルブ61と、パージガス排出ラインG12と、排気バルブ62とを備えている。この場合、排ガス再循環ラインG7が第1パージガス排出ラインとして機能し、パージガス排出ラインG12が第2パージガス排出ラインとして機能する。 In the EGR system of the second embodiment, a purge gas supply line G11, a purge valve 61, a purge gas discharge line G12, and an exhaust valve 62 are provided as a purge device. In this case, the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 functions as a first purge gas discharge line, and the purge gas discharge line G12 functions as a second purge gas discharge line.
 従って、パージガス供給ラインG11からパージガスを排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給し、排ガス再循環ラインG7またはパージガス排出ラインG12からパージガスとともに腐食成分を排出することができる。即ち、パージガスの供給とパージガス及び腐食成分の排出を適正に実施することができる。 Therefore, the purge gas can be supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, and the corrosive components can be discharged together with the purge gas from the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 or the purge gas discharge line G12. That is, the supply of the purge gas and the discharge of the purge gas and the corrosive component can be properly performed.
 第2実施形態のEGRシステムでは、パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG11からのパージガスを排気ラインG3に送給するパージガス排出ラインG12と、パージガス供給ラインG12を開閉する排気バルブ62とを設けている。従って、排気バルブ62を開放することで、パージガス供給ラインG11から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給されたパージガスが、エンジン本体11を通さずにパージガス排出ラインG12から排気ラインG3に送給されることとなり、エンジン本体11の運転が停止していても、排ガス再循環ラインGに残留する腐食成分を除去したパージガスを適正に処理することができる。 In the EGR system of the second embodiment, the purge device is provided with a purge gas discharge line G12 for supplying the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust line G3, and an exhaust valve 62 for opening and closing the purge gas supply line G12. Therefore, by opening the exhaust valve 62, the purge gas supplied from the purge gas supply line G11 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 is supplied from the purge gas discharge line G12 to the exhaust line G3 without passing through the engine main body 11. Even if the operation of the engine body 11 is stopped, the purge gas from which the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation line G have been removed can be properly processed.
 第2実施形態のEGRシステムでは、制御装置60は、EGR運転が停止しているとき、エンジン運転停止信号(パージ処理開始信号)が入力すると、パージバルブ61及び排気バルブ62を所定期間だけ開放する。従って、EGR運転が停止し、エンジン本体11の運転が停止していても、排ガス再循環ラインG4のパージガスをパージガス排出ラインG12から排気ラインG3に送給することができ、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分除去したパージガスを適正に処理することができる。 In the EGR system of the second embodiment, when the EGR operation is stopped, the control device 60 opens the purge valve 61 and the exhaust valve 62 for a predetermined period when the engine operation stop signal (purge process start signal) is input. Therefore, even if the EGR operation is stopped and the operation of the engine main body 11 is stopped, the purge gas of the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 can be supplied from the purge gas discharge line G12 to the exhaust line G3, and the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, The purge gas from which the corrosive components remaining in G5 and G7 have been removed can be properly processed.

Third Embodiment
FIG. 10 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an EGR system of the third embodiment. The members having the same functions as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
 第3実施形態にて、図10に示すように、EGRシステム13は、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7と、スクラバ42と、デミスタユニット49と、EGRブロワ50と、パージ装置と、制御装置60を備えている。EGRシステム13は、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスの一部を空気と混合した後、過給機12により圧縮して燃焼用ガスとしてエンジン本体11に再循環するとき、この再循環する排ガスから有害物質を除去するものである。 In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the EGR system 13 includes an exhaust gas recirculation line G4, G5, G7, a scrubber 42, a demister unit 49, an EGR blower 50, a purge device, and a control device. It has 60. The EGR system 13 mixes a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 with air, and then compresses it by the turbocharger 12 and recycles it to the engine body 11 as a combustion gas, from this recirculated exhaust gas It removes harmful substances.
 パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG13と、パージバルブ61と、パージガス排出ラインG12と、排気バルブ62とを備えている。パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG13からパージガスを供給し、排ガス再循環ラインG7またはパージガス排出ラインG12からパージガスとともに腐食成分を排出する。 The purge device includes a purge gas supply line G13, a purge valve 61, a purge gas discharge line G12, and an exhaust valve 62. The purge device supplies a purge gas from the purge gas supply line G13, and discharges a corrosive component together with the purge gas from the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 or the purge gas discharge line G12.
 即ち、パージガス供給ラインG13は、一端部が給気ラインG1における掃気トランクとエアクーラ52との間に連結されると共に、他端部が排ガス再循環ラインG4におけるEGR入口バルブ41とスクラバ42との間に連結されている。パージガス供給ラインG13は、パージバルブ61が設けられ、このパージガス供給ラインG13を開閉可能となっている。 That is, one end of the purge gas supply line G13 is connected between the scavenging air trunk and the air cooler 52 in the air supply line G1, and the other end is between the EGR inlet valve 41 and the scrubber 42 in the exhaust gas recirculation line G4. Is linked to The purge gas supply line G13 is provided with a purge valve 61, and the purge gas supply line G13 can be opened and closed.
 そのため、EGR入口バルブ41を閉止し、パージバルブ61を開放すると、給気ラインG1の掃気(燃焼用ガス)の一部をパージガスとしてパージガス供給ラインG13の一端部から吸入し、このパージガス供給ラインG13を通して排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給することができる。そして、パージガス供給ラインG13から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給された空気は、この排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7、給気ラインG1を通してエンジン本体11の掃気トランク22に送給される。 Therefore, when the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed and the purge valve 61 is opened, a part of scavenging gas (combustion gas) in the air supply line G1 is sucked as purge gas from one end of the purge gas supply line G13 and passes through the purge gas supply line G13. The exhaust gas recirculation line G4 can be supplied. The air supplied from the purge gas supply line G13 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 is supplied to the scavenging trunk 22 of the engine body 11 through the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 and the air supply line G1.
 制御装置60は、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力されると、EGRブロワ50の回転数を低下させる。その後、EGR入口バルブ41を閉止し、パージバルブ61を開放させる。すると、エンジン本体11からの排ガスは、全量が排気ラインG3から外部に排出される。また、給気ラインG1の掃気の一部がパージガス供給ラインG13に供給され、このパージガス供給ラインG13から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給された空気は、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7、給気ラインG1を通してエンジン本体11の掃気トランク22に送給される。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留していた腐食成分は、このパージガスにより除去され、腐食成分を含むパージガスが掃気トランク22に送り込まれる。 The control device 60 reduces the rotational speed of the EGR blower 50 when the EGR operation stop signal S2 is input. Thereafter, the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed and the purge valve 61 is opened. Then, the entire exhaust gas from the engine body 11 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3. Further, part of the scavenging air in the air supply line G1 is supplied to the purge gas supply line G13, and the air supplied from the purge gas supply line G13 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 is an exhaust gas recirculation line G4, G5, G7, the air supply It is supplied to the scavenging air trunk 22 of the engine body 11 through the line G1. Therefore, the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are removed by the purge gas, and the purge gas containing the corrosive components is sent to the scavenging trunk 22.
 このように第3実施形態のEGRシステムにあっては、排ガス再循環ラインG4と、EGR入口バルブ41と、スクラバ42との間から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7にパージガスを供給して残留する腐食成分を排出するパージ装置としてのパージガス供給ラインG13とを設け、パージ装置は、エンジン本体11に供給される掃気の一部をパージガスとして排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給する。 As described above, in the EGR system according to the third embodiment, the purge gas is supplied to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 from between the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, the EGR inlet valve 41, and the scrubber 42 to remain. The purge device is provided with a purge gas supply line G13 as a purge device for discharging the corrosive components, and the purge device supplies a part of the scavenging gas supplied to the engine main body 11 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 as a purge gas.
 従って、パージ装置がパージガス供給ラインG13から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7にパージガスとしての掃気の一部を供給すると、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留した腐食成分が掃気と共に排出される。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を除去することで、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を構成する配管の腐食を防止することができる。また、エンジン本体11への掃気の一部を抜き取って排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給することで、残留する腐食成分を排出することから、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を適正にパージ処理することができる。 Therefore, when the purge device supplies part of the scavenging gas as the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G13 to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are exhausted together with the scavenging Ru. Therefore, by removing the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, it is possible to prevent the corrosion of the pipes constituting the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. Further, by removing part of the scavenging air to the engine main body 11 and supplying it to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the remaining corrosive components are discharged, so the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are appropriate. Can be purged.

 図11は、第4実施形態のEGRシステムを表す概略構成図、図12は、EGRシステムにおけるEGR運転停止時のパージ制御を表すフローチャートである。なお、上述した実施形態と同様の機能を有する部材には、同一の符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
Fourth Embodiment
FIG. 11 is a schematic block diagram showing the EGR system of the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing purge control at the time of EGR operation stop in the EGR system. The members having the same functions as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
 第4実施形態にて、図11に示すように、EGRシステム13は、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7と、スクラバ42と、デミスタユニット49と、EGRブロワ50と、パージ装置と、制御装置60を備えている。EGRシステム13は、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスの一部を空気と混合した後、過給機12により圧縮して燃焼用ガスとしてエンジン本体11に再循環するとき、この再循環する排ガスから有害物質を除去するものである。 In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the EGR system 13 includes exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, a scrubber 42, a demister unit 49, an EGR blower 50, a purge device, and a control device. It has 60. The EGR system 13 mixes a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 with air, and then compresses it by the turbocharger 12 and recycles it to the engine body 11 as a combustion gas, from this recirculated exhaust gas It removes harmful substances.
 パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG15と、パージバルブ71を備えている。この場合、排ガス再循環ラインG4がパージガス排出ラインとして機能する。パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG15から排ガス再循環ラインG7にパージガスを供給し、排気ラインG3からパージガスと腐食成分を排出する。 The purge device includes a purge gas supply line G15 and a purge valve 71. In this case, the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 functions as a purge gas discharge line. The purge device supplies a purge gas from the purge gas supply line G15 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G7, and discharges the purge gas and the corrosive component from the exhaust line G3.
 即ち、パージガス供給ラインG15は、一端部が大気に開放され、他端部が排ガス再循環ラインG4の下流側に連結される排ガス再循環ラインG7におけるEGRブロワ50とEGR出口バルブ51との間に連結されている。パージガス供給ラインG15は、パージバルブ71が設けられ、このパージガス供給ラインG15を開閉可能となっている。そのため、EGR出口バルブ51を閉止し、パージバルブ71を開放すると、パージガスとしての外気(空気)をパージガス供給ラインG15の一端部から吸入し、このパージガス供給ラインG15を通して排ガス再循環ラインG7に供給することができる。なお、パージガス供給ラインG15は、一端部は圧縮空気供給源が接続されていても良い。圧縮空気供給源63は、例えば、圧縮機と蓄圧タンクなどから構成されており、圧縮機により生成した圧縮空気を蓄圧タンクに溜めているものであり、船内で使用する各種機器に対して圧縮空気を供給することができる。この場合、EGRブロワ50を駆動させることなく、パージガスを供給することができる。 That is, the purge gas supply line G15 has one end opened to the atmosphere and the other end connected to the downstream side of the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 between the EGR blower 50 and the EGR outlet valve 51 in the exhaust gas recirculation line G7. It is connected. The purge gas supply line G15 is provided with a purge valve 71, and the purge gas supply line G15 can be opened and closed. Therefore, closing the EGR outlet valve 51 and opening the purge valve 71 sucks outside air (air) as purge gas from one end of the purge gas supply line G15 and supplies it to the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 through the purge gas supply line G15. Can. A compressed air supply source may be connected to one end of the purge gas supply line G15. The compressed air supply source 63 includes, for example, a compressor and a pressure accumulation tank, and the compressed air generated by the compressor is stored in the pressure accumulation tank, and the compressed air is supplied to various devices used in the ship. Can be supplied. In this case, the purge gas can be supplied without driving the EGR blower 50.
 排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7の経路中にはEGRブロワ50が設けられていることから、EGRブロワ50を逆転駆動することで、排ガス供給ラインG7から排気ラインG3側へのガス流れを作用させることができる。そのため、EGRブロワ50を逆転駆動することで、パージガス供給ラインG15から排ガス供給ラインG7に供給された空気は、この排ガス供給ラインG7から排気ラインG3に送給される。 Since the EGR blower 50 is provided in the path of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, the gas flow from the exhaust gas supply line G7 to the exhaust line G3 side is operated by driving the EGR blower 50 in reverse. It can be done. Therefore, by driving the EGR blower 50 in reverse, the air supplied from the purge gas supply line G15 to the exhaust gas supply line G7 is supplied from the exhaust gas supply line G7 to the exhaust line G3.
 制御装置60は、船舶の運航状態(運航海域)に応じてEGR入口バルブ41、EGR出口バルブ51、パージバルブ71を開閉制御可能であると共に、EGRブロワ50を駆動制御可能である。即ち、制御装置60は、現在の船舶の運航海域がNOxの排出量を規制するNOx規制海域内であれば、EGR運転開始信号S1が入力され、EGR入口バルブ41、EGR出口バルブ51を開放すると共に、EGRブロワ50を正転駆動する。すると、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスは、一部が排気ラインG3から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給される。 The control device 60 can control the opening and closing of the EGR inlet valve 41, the EGR outlet valve 51, and the purge valve 71 in accordance with the operation state (operating sea area) of the ship, and can control the driving of the EGR blower 50. That is, the control device 60 receives the EGR operation start signal S1 and opens the EGR inlet valve 41 and the EGR outlet valve 51 if the current operation area of the ship is in the NOx control area where emission of NOx is restricted. At the same time, the EGR blower 50 is driven to rotate normally. Then, a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine body 11 is supplied from the exhaust line G3 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4.
 そして、制御装置60は、現在の船舶の運航海域がECA内からECA外に移動すると、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力され、EGR出口バルブ51を閉止し、パージバルブ71を開放すると共に、EGRブロワ50を逆転駆動する。すると、エンジン本体11からの排ガスは、全量が排気ラインG3から外部に排出される。また、パージガス供給ラインG15から排ガス再循環ラインG7に供給された空気は、排気ラインG3に送給される。 Then, the control device 60 receives the EGR operation stop signal S2 when the current operation area of the ship moves from inside the ECA to outside the ECA, closes the EGR outlet valve 51, opens the purge valve 71, and the EGR blower 50. Drive in reverse. Then, the entire exhaust gas from the engine body 11 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3. Further, the air supplied from the purge gas supply line G15 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 is supplied to the exhaust line G3.
 ここで、EGRシステムにおける排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ制御について説明する。EGR運転停止時のパージ制御について、図11及び図12に示すように、ステップS51にて、制御装置60は、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力されると、EGR運転停止シーケンスが開始され、ステップS52にて、EGRブロワ50の回転を停止させ、ステップS53にて、EGRブロワ50の回転が停止したかどうかを判定する。ここで、EGRブロワ50の回転が停止するまで待機し、EGRブロワ50の回転が停止したら、ステップS56に移行する。また、ステップS54にて、EGR出口バルブ51の閉動作を開始し、ステップS55にて、EGR出口バルブ51の開度が予め設定された開度以下になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、EGR出口バルブ51の開度が設定開度以下になるまで待機し、EGR出口バルブ51の開度が全閉となったら、ステップS56に移行する。 Here, purge control of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 in the EGR system will be described. Regarding purge control at the time of EGR operation stop, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, when the EGR operation stop signal S2 is input in step S51, the control device 60 starts the EGR operation stop sequence, and step S52 Then, the rotation of the EGR blower 50 is stopped, and in step S53, it is determined whether the rotation of the EGR blower 50 has stopped. Here, the process waits until the rotation of the EGR blower 50 stops, and when the rotation of the EGR blower 50 stops, the process proceeds to step S56. In step S54, the closing operation of the EGR outlet valve 51 is started, and in step S55, it is determined whether the opening degree of the EGR outlet valve 51 has become equal to or less than a preset opening degree. Here, the process waits until the opening degree of the EGR outlet valve 51 becomes equal to or less than the set opening degree, and when the opening degree of the EGR outlet valve 51 is fully closed, the process proceeds to step S56.
 制御装置60は、ステップS56にて、パージバルブ71の開動作を開始し、ステップS57にて、パージバルブ71の開度が全開になったかどうかを判定する。ここで、パージバルブ71の開度が全開になるまで待機し、パージバルブ71の開度が全開になったら、ステップS58にて、EGRブロワ50の逆転駆動を開始すると、ステップS59にて、排ガス再循環ラインG4のパージ処理を予め設定された規定時間だけ実行する。即ち、排ガス再循環ラインG4は、EGRブロワ50が逆転駆動していることから、排気ラインG3側へのガス流れが生じており、パージガス供給ラインG15から取り込まれた空気は、この排ガス再循環ラインG7から排気ラインG3に送給される。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留していた腐食成分としてのNOxやSOxは、このパージガスにより除去され、腐食成分を含むパージガスが排気ラインG3に送り込まれる。 In step S56, the controller 60 starts the opening operation of the purge valve 71, and in step S57 determines whether the opening degree of the purge valve 71 is fully opened. Here, the process waits until the opening degree of the purge valve 71 is fully opened, and when the opening degree of the purge valve 71 is fully opened, reverse driving of the EGR blower 50 is started in step S58, exhaust gas recirculation in step S59. The purge process of the line G4 is executed for a predetermined time set in advance. That is, since the EGR blower 50 is reversely driven, the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 has a gas flow toward the exhaust line G3, and the air taken in from the purge gas supply line G15 is the exhaust gas recirculation line. It is fed to the exhaust line G3 from G7. Therefore, NOx and SOx as corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5 and G7 are removed by this purge gas, and a purge gas containing corrosive components is sent to the exhaust line G3.
 制御装置60は、ステップS60にて、EGRブロワ50が逆転駆動を開始してから規定時間が経過したかどうかを判定する。ここで、規定時間が経過するまで排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理を実行する。そして、規定時間が経過したら、ステップS61にて、EGRブロワ50の運転を停止し、ステップS62にて、パージバルブ71を閉止し、ステップS63にて、EGR入口バルブ41を閉止し、ステップS64にて、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7のパージ処理が完了する。 At step S60, the control device 60 determines whether or not a specified time has elapsed since the EGR blower 50 started reverse driving. Here, the purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 is executed until the specified time has elapsed. When the specified time has elapsed, the operation of the EGR blower 50 is stopped in step S61, the purge valve 71 is closed in step S62, the EGR inlet valve 41 is closed in step S63, and the process is performed in step S64. The purge process of the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5 and G7 is completed.
 なお、本実施形態では、パージガスにより排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留していた腐食成分を排気ラインG3に排出することから、エンジン本体11の運転が停止しても、上述した手順により排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留していた腐食成分をパージすることができる。 In the present embodiment, since the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5 and G7 are discharged to the exhaust line G3 by the purge gas, even if the operation of the engine main body 11 is stopped, the procedure described above is performed. The corrosion components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5 and G7 can be purged.
 このように第4実施形態のEGRシステムにあっては、エンジン本体11から排出された排ガスの一部を燃焼用ガスの一部としてエンジン本体11に再循環する排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7と、排ガス再循環ラインG4に設けられるEGR入口バルブ41と、排ガス再循環ラインG7に設けられるEGR出口バルブ51と、EGRブロワ50と、排ガスから有害物質を除去するスクラバ42と、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7にパージガスを供給して残留する腐食成分を排出するパージ装置としてのパージガス供給ラインG15とを設けている。 Thus, in the EGR system of the fourth embodiment, exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 recirculate a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine main body 11 to the engine main body 11 as a part of the combustion gas. The EGR inlet valve 41 provided in the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, the EGR outlet valve 51 provided in the exhaust gas recirculation line G7, the EGR blower 50, the scrubber 42 for removing harmful substances from the exhaust gas, the exhaust gas recirculation line A purge gas supply line G15 is provided as a purge device that supplies purge gas to G4, G5, and G7 and discharges the remaining corrosive components.
 従って、EGR出口バルブ51が閉止されると、パージ装置がパージガス供給ラインG15から排ガス再循環ラインG7にパージガスを供給することとなり、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留した腐食成分がパージガスと共に排出される。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を除去することで、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を構成する配管の腐食を防止することができる。 Therefore, when the EGR outlet valve 51 is closed, the purge device supplies the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G15 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G7, and the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are together with the purge gas. Exhausted. Therefore, by removing the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, it is possible to prevent the corrosion of the pipes constituting the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7.
 第4実施形態のEGRシステムでは、パージ装置として、排ガス再循環ラインG7におけるEGRブロワ50より下流側(EGRブロワ50とEGR出口バルブ51との間)に連結されるパージガス供給ラインG15と、パージガス供給ラインG15を開閉するパージバルブ71と、パージガス供給ラインG15からのパージガスを排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を逆方向に送給するEGRブロワ50とを設けている。従って、EGR出口バルブ51が閉止されると、パージバルブ71を開放すると共にEGRブロワ50を逆転駆動することで、パージガスがパージガス供給ラインG15から排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を介して排気ラインG3に供給されることとなり、スクラバ42、デミスタユニット49、EGRブロワ50を含む排ガス再循環ラインG4に残留する腐食成分を除去することができ、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を適正に除去することができる。 In the EGR system of the fourth embodiment, as a purge device, a purge gas supply line G15 connected to the downstream side of the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 downstream of the EGR blower 50 (between the EGR blower 50 and the EGR outlet valve 51), and a purge gas supply A purge valve 71 for opening and closing the line G15 and an EGR blower 50 for feeding the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G15 in the reverse direction to the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5 and G7 are provided. Therefore, when the EGR outlet valve 51 is closed, the purge valve 71 is opened and the EGR blower 50 is reversely driven, whereby the purge gas is discharged from the purge gas supply line G15 through the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 to the exhaust line G3. The corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation line G4 including the scrubber 42, the demister unit 49, and the EGR blower 50 can be removed, and the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. Can be properly removed.
 第4実施形態のEGRシステムでは、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力したときにEGR出口バルブ51を閉止してパージバルブ71を所定期間だけ開放する制御装置60を設けている。従って、制御装置60は、EGR運転停止信号S2が入力すると、EGR出口バルブ51を閉止してパージバルブ71を所定期間だけ開放するため、EGR運転が停止すると、パージガスがパージガス供給ラインG15から排ガス再循環ラインG4に供給されることとなり、パージガスにより早期に排ガス再循環ラインG4に残留する腐食成分を除去することができる。 The EGR system of the fourth embodiment is provided with a control device 60 which closes the EGR outlet valve 51 and opens the purge valve 71 for a predetermined period when the EGR operation stop signal S2 is input. Therefore, the control device 60 closes the EGR outlet valve 51 and opens the purge valve 71 for a predetermined period when the EGR operation stop signal S2 is input. Therefore, when the EGR operation is stopped, the purge gas is recirculated from the purge gas supply line G15.

 パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG16と、パージバルブ71と、排気ラインG3とを備えている。パージ装置は、パージガス供給ラインG16から排ガス再循環ラインG7にパージガスを供給し、排気ラインG3からパージガスと腐食成分を排出する。 The purge device includes a purge gas supply line G16, a purge valve 71, and an exhaust line G3. The purge device supplies the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G16 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G7, and discharges the purge gas and the corrosive component from the exhaust line G3.
 即ち、パージガス供給ラインG16は、一端部が給気ラインG1における掃気トランクとエアクーラ52との間に連結されると共に、他端部が排ガス再循環ラインG7におけるEGRブロワ50とEGR出口バルブ51との間に連結されている。パージガス供給ラインG16は、パージバルブ71が設けられ、このパージガス供給ラインG16を開閉可能となっている。 That is, one end of the purge gas supply line G16 is connected between the scavenging air trunk and the air cooler 52 in the air supply line G1, and the other end is the EGR blower 50 and the EGR outlet valve 51 in the exhaust gas recirculation line G7.

 そのため、EGR出口バルブ51を閉止し、パージバルブ71を開放すると、給気ラインG1の掃気(燃焼用ガス)の一部をパージガスとしてパージガス供給ラインG16の一端部から吸入し、このパージガス供給ラインG16を通して排ガス再循環ラインG7に供給することができる。そして、パージガス供給ラインG16から排ガス再循環ラインG7に供給されたパージガスは、排気ラインG3に送給される。 Therefore, when the EGR outlet valve 51 is closed and the purge valve 71 is opened, a part of scavenging gas (combustion gas) in the air supply line G1 is sucked as purge gas from one end of the purge gas supply line G16, The exhaust gas recirculation line G7 can be supplied. Then, the purge gas supplied from the purge gas supply line G16 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G7 is supplied to the exhaust line G3.

Then, the entire exhaust gas from the engine body 11 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust line G3. Further, part of the scavenging air of the air supply line G1 is supplied to the purge gas supply line G16, and is supplied from the purge gas supply line G16 to the exhaust line G3 through the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7. Therefore, the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are removed by the purge gas, and the purge gas containing the corrosive components is discharged to the exhaust line G3.

The purge device uses a part of scavenging gas supplied to the engine main body 11 as a purge gas. Supply to
 従って、パージ装置がパージガス供給ラインG16から排ガス再循環ラインG4にパージガスとしての掃気の一部を供給すると、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留した腐食成分が掃気と共に排出される。そのため、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に残留する腐食成分を除去することで、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を構成する配管の腐食を防止することができる。また、エンジン本体11への掃気の一部を抜き取って排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7に供給することで、残留する腐食成分を排出することから、排ガス再循環ラインG4、G5、G7を適正にパージ処理することができる。 Therefore, when the purge device supplies a part of scavenging gas as the purge gas from the purge gas supply line G16 to the exhaust gas recirculation line G4, the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7 are discharged together with the scavenging air. Therefore, by removing the corrosive components remaining in the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7, it is possible to prevent the corrosion of the pipes constituting the exhaust gas recirculation lines G4, G5, G7.
