Fixed Systems for Fire Fighting• Fixed Gas Systems– Carbon Dioxide– Steam– Other• High Expansion Foam Systems• Fixed Pressure Water-Spraying SystemsSystems based on Halon were banished by SOLAS since 1994and by the EU regulation EC 2037/2000 since 2003, due tothe damages caused to the ozone layer.M.Ventura SOLAS - Fire Protection 31Fixed Gas Systems (1)Carbon Dioxide Systems• Cargo Spaces - the volume available shall be greater than 30% of thevolume of the larger cargo space protected• Machinery Spaces - the volume available shall be greater than themaximum of the following values:– 40% of the volume of the larger machinery space protected, excluding thepart of the roof above the level at which the horizontal area of the roof is40% or less of the horizontal area of the space measured at mid heightbetween the double-bottom and the base of the roof– 35% of the gross volume of the larger machinery space protected,including the roof• The specific volume of the free CO 2shall be computed at 0.56 m3/kg• The piping system shall guarantee that 85% of the gas is delivered inless than 2 minutesM.Ventura SOLAS - Fire Protection 3216
Fixed Gas Systems (2)Steam Systems• In general vapor is not allowed as fire extinguishing in fixed systems• It shall be only eventually allowed in very restrict zones, as anadditional mean, and with the guarantee that the boilers available tofeed the system have a minimum flow rate of 1.0 kg/h for each0.75 m 3 of the gross volume of the larger space protectedM.Ventura SOLAS - Fire Protection 33Fixed Gas Systems (3)Other Gas Systems• If other gases besides the above mentioned are used as a mean offire extinguishing, they shall be the result of the combustion of fuels,in which the contents of oxygen, carbon monoxide and corrosiveelements have been reduced to a minimum admissible.• When these systems are used, the flow rate shall be ≥ 25% of thegross volume of the larger compartment protected, within a period of72 hours.M.Ventura SOLAS - Fire Protection 3417
