Many hot surfaces and potential ignition sources exist in engine-rooms, cargo pump-rooms and other fire-prone spaces. To assist in preventing a fire originating as a result of flammable oil coming in direct contact with high temperature surfaces, these surfaces should be properly insulated. Therefore, the SOLAS regulations require:
Fire prevention in engine rooms . Introduction . Every year fires on board ships lead to loss of lives and severe damage to the ships themselves. The majority of fires on board ships originate in the engine room and failure in a flammable oil system followed by impingement of oil onto a high temperature surface is
IMO MSC Circular 1321 consolidates guidance on the measures to prevent fires in Engine Rooms and Cargo Pump rooms and is based on present engineering and shipbuilding technology, including resolutions, circulars and other IMO documentation.
Since fire-fighting systems are so critical, the designs and arrangements of such systems should be carefully evaluated for compliance with the ABS requirements by the designer and ABS Engineering staffs.
1 gru 2023 · This CIC focuses on the means to controlling and extinguishing fires through fire dampers, fire doors and firefighting systems. However, to prevent is better than to cure – therefore, we would like to highlight common causes and contributors to engine room fires.
25 paź 2015 · CO2 flooding system or central bank CO2 system is one of the common fixed fire fighting system installed on most of the ships. It releases carbon dioxide (CO2) in bulk quantity to a protected space (such as engine room, cargo hold, purifier room, pump room, etc.) under fire.
