ZG FX 2011.04.25 FIRE IN ENGINE ROOM 0 1 of 1

Smaller fires in the emergency generator room should be extinguished immediately using the available
portable fire extinguishers or water and foam hand lines.

If it is not possible to extinguish the fire and it is necessary to leave the room due to heat and smoke,
fuel oil units including transfer/booster pumps and FO purifiers in operation should be stopped. Critical
machineries such main engine and oil fired boiler should also be stopped.

At the same time all fans are stopped, all opening closed and fire alarm activated.

At the instruction of the Master, the CO2 extinguishing system for total flooding of the machinery
space should be release in accordance with procedures at the master control station.

A concentration of 30-40% is developed in the machinery space within 2 minutes or less. This reduces
the oxygen content of the room’s atmosphere to less than 15% at which level it will not support
combustion.

As there may be hot spots in the room, which could cause the fire to break out again when the room is
aired, the room should be kept tightly closed unit it is absolutely certain that sufficient cooling and
therefore complete extinguishing has been achieved.

During and after extinguishing, all spaces adjacent to the machinery space should be frequently
checked or preferably continuously watched so as to prevent spreading of the fire, i.e. by overheating
of bulkheads. If necessary these can be cooled by water fog.

When the fire has been extinguished the room must be thoroughly aired and inspected before it is
used again. Due to the effect of CO2, it is dangerous to enter the room before the CO2 contents has
been reduced to 3-4%.Therefore it should be properly checked with CO2 gas detector or Davys lamp
that the CO2 concentration is safe.

Even so, self contained breathing apparatus and lifeline should be used when first checking the room.

If there is any reason to believe that persons have been trapped by the fire or the release of CO2, a
rescue party must be organized immediately. The party must be equipped with self contained
breathing apparatus and the victims, if unconscious must be given artificial respiration immediately.

ZG FX 2011.04.25 CO2 GAS 0 1 of 2

CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT

CO2 is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide, a compound of carbon and oxygen. It should, however, not
be mistaken for the poisonous compound of the same two element, carbon monoxide – CO.

Carbon dioxide does not support combustion and extinction of a fire is achieved by diluting the
oxygen content of the atmosphere in the compartment from the normal 21% to a level which gives
insufficient oxygen to support combustion.

At normal pressure and temperature, carbon dioxide is a colourless gas with a faintly astringent smell.

Carbon dioxide is highly asphyxiating (suffocative). At concentrations of about 3-4% it will not have any
effect for relatively short exposures other than breathing will become more rapid. Concentrations of 4-5%
will cause dizziness after more rapid. A concentration above 9% will produce unconsciousness within a few
minutes. This action is more related to suffocation than it is to any toxic effect of carbon dioxide itself.

In fire fighting applications, concentrations of 30 - 45% is used, depending of type of compartment to be

protected.

WARNING:
ENTRANCE INTO A COMPARTMENT IN WHICH CARBON DIOXIDE HAS BEEN
RELEASED WILL CAUSE DEATH INSTANTNEOUSLY.

Carbon dioxide is chemically neutral and thus has no corrosive effect on any material. Engines and other
equipment may be run as usual after a thorough airing, however, carbon dioxide has little cooling effect and
there is consequently a danger for re-ignition if air is readmitted to the compartment in question to quickly.

Another advantage of carbon dioxide is that it is electrical non-conductive, so it can safely be used in spaces
containing live electrical equipment. Carbon dioxide does not leave any residue to clean up.

Carbon dioxide is not subject to loss in quality with age.

From now, carbon dioxide will be referred to simply as CO2.

ZG FX 2011.04.25 CO2 SYSTEM FOR GALLEY DUCT 0 1 of 1

APPLICATION

The galley duct system is designed for fire protection of ventilation ducts in galleys on board
ships.

DESIGN

The galley duct system consists of a 7.5 Ltr CO2 cylinder with hand wheel valve fastened to a
release cabinet with signs, a micro switch and also two axial nozzles.

The system is easy to install and easy to operate. The release cabinet is made of steel and is
well suited for use onboard ships.

The release cabinet is supplied with a door handle with key lock.

The micro switch is to be connected to the galley duct fan, a fire alarm and electrical operated
fire dampers.

FUNCTION

The cabinet has a sign on the outside to identify the cabinet and an instruction on the inside to
safely perform the release of the system.

The micro switch inside the cabinet will activates fire alarm, stop the galley duct fan and close
electrical operated fire dampers (if mounted).

The opening of the hand wheel valve (turn the wheel anti-clockwise) gives the CO2 gas free
access to the distribution line and nozzles.

If fire occurs in the galley duct, the hand wheel valve must be opened for a short period,
maximum 2-3 seconds only. And then opened again if necessary.

Fire dampers must be closed before release of CO2.

NOTE :
A. The system is considered to have been commissioned when the above steps are carried
out.
However, as a safety precaution, the cylinder valves are still blanked-of (that is the flexible
are not connected to the cylinder valves) and the safety pins are still inserted into the
cylinders valves, to prevent accidental activation of the system, which could be fatal.
This means that the system is still NOT in operational condition.

B. The system is normally put into operational condition just before the vessel leaves the

MACHINERY SPACES

1 General
These Guidelines provide the minimum recommended level of maintenance and
inspections for fixed carbon dioxide fire-extinguishing systems on all ships, and
are intended to demonstrate that the system is kept in good working order as
specified in SOLAS regulation II-2/[Link]. Certain maintenance procedures and
inspections may be performed by competent crewmembers, while others should
be performed by persons specially trained in the maintenance of such systems.
The onboard maintenance plan should indicate which parts of the recommended
inspections and maintenance should be completed by trained personnel.

2 Safety
Whenever carbon dioxide fire-extinguishing systems are subjected to inspection
or maintenance, strict safety precautions should be followed to prevent the
possibility that individuals performing or witnessing the activities are placed at risk.
Prior to performing any work, a safety plan should be developed to account for all
personnel and establish an effective communications system between the
inspection personnel and the on-duty crew. Measures to avoid accidental
discharges such as locking or removing the operating arms from directional valves,
or shutting and locking the system block valve should be taken as the initial
procedure for the protection of personnel performing any maintenance or
inspections. All personnel should be notified of the impending activities before
work is begun.

3 Maintenance and inspection plan

Fixed carbon dioxide fire-extinguishing systems should be kept in good working
order and readily available for immediate use. Maintenance and inspections
should be carried out in accordance with the ship’s maintenance plan having due
regard to ensuring the reliability of the system. The onboard maintenance plan
should be included in the ship’s safety management system and should include:
.1. maintenance and inspection procedures and instructions;
.2. required schedules for periodic maintenance and inspections;
.3. listing of recommended spare parts; and
.4. records of inspections and maintenance, including corrective actions taken to
maintain the system in operable condition.

4 Monthly inspections
4.1 At least every 30 days a general visual inspection should be made of the
overall system condition for obvious signs of damage, and should include
verification that:
.1. all stop valves are in the closed position;
.2. all releasing controls are in the proper position and readily accessible for
immediate use;
.3. all discharge piping and pneumatic tubing is intact and has not been damaged;
.4. all high pressure cylinders are in place and properly secured; and
.5. the alarm devices are in place and do not appear damaged.

5 Annual inspections
The following minimum level of maintenance and inspections should be carried
out:
.1. the boundaries of the protected space should be visually inspected to confirm
that no modifications have been made to the enclosure that have created
uncloseable openings that would render the system ineffective;
.2. all storage containers should be visually inspected for any signs of damage,
rust or loose mounting hardware. Cylinders that are leaking, corroded, dented
or bulging should be hydrostatically retested or replaced;
.3. system piping should be visually inspected to check for damage, loose
supports and corrosion. Nozzles should be inspected to ensure they have not
been obstructed by the storage of spare parts or a new installation of
structure or machinery;
.4. the manifold should be inspected to verify that all flexible discharge hoses and
fittings are properly tightened; and
.5. all entrance doors to the protected space should close properly and should
have warning signs, which indicate that the space is protected by a fixed
carbon dioxide system and that personnel should evacuate immediately if the
alarms sound. All remote releasing controls should be checked for clear
operating instructions and indication as to the space served.

6 Minimum recommended maintenance

6.1 At least biennially (intervals of 2 years ± 3 months) in passenger ships or at
each intermediate, periodical or renewal survey* in cargo ships, the following
maintenance should be carried out :
.1. all high pressure cylinders and pilot cylinders should be weighed or have their
contents verified by other reliable means to confirm that the available charge
in each is above 90% of the nominal charge. Cylinders containing less than
90% of the nominal charge should be refilled. The hydrostatic test date of all
storage containers should be checked. High pressure cylinders should be
subjected to periodical tests at intervals not exceeding 10 years. At the 10-
year inspection, at least 10% of the total number provided should be
subjected to an internal inspection and hydrostatic test**. If one or more
cylinders fail, a total of 50% of the onboard cylinders should be tested. If
further cylinders fail, all cylinders should be tested. Flexible hoses should be
replaced at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer and not
exceeding every 10 years; and
.2. the discharge piping and nozzles should be tested to verify that they are not
blocked. The test should be performed by isolating the discharge piping from
the system and flowing dry air or nitrogen from test cylinders or suitable
means through the piping.

6.2 At least biennially (intervals of 2 years ± 3 months) in passenger ships or at

each renewal survey* in cargo ships, the following maintenance should be carried
out by service technicians/specialists trained to standards accepted by the
Administration:
.1. where possible, all activating heads should be removed from the cylinder
valves and tested for correct functioning by applying full working pressure
through the pilot lines.
In cases where this is not possible, pilot lines should be disconnected from
the cylinder valves and blanked off or connected together and tested with full
working pressure from the release station and checked for leakage.
In both cases this should be carried out from one or more release stations
when installed.
If manual pull cables operate the remote release controls, they should be
checked to verify the cables and corner pulleys are in good condition and
freely move and do not require an excessive amount of travel to activate the
system;
*Refer to Survey guidelines under the Harmonized System of Survey and
Certification, 2007 (resolution A.997(25)).

** Refer to standard ISO 6406 – Periodic inspection and testing of seamless

steel gas cylinders.
.2. all cable components should be cleaned and adjusted as necessary, and the
cable connectors should be properly tightened. If the remote release controls
are operated by pneumatic pressure, the tubing should be checked for
leakage, and the proper charge of the remote releasing station pilot gas
cylinders should be verified.
All controls and warning devices should function normally, and the time delay,
if fitted should prevent the discharge of gas for the required time period; and
.3. after completion of the work, the system should be returned to service. All
releasing controls should be verified in the proper position and connected to
the correct control valves. All pressure switch interlocks should be reset and
returned to service. All stop valves should be in the closed position.
