How much bar does the HPSWS kick out to all areas and services throughout the ship ?
7 bar
What does HPSWS supply to on ship
Firefighting equipment/ pre wetting system/ edutors/ emergency cooling to gas turbines/ making of fresh water/ flushing heads
How is salt water supplied around 2 deck ?
By a ringmain
Minimum amount of pumps to be running at one time ?
1
How does each pump get rid of the debris
Strainers
How much leak off does each pump have and why ?
10% leak off
To prevent over pressurisation
When can pumps be operated from
Locally and remotely

Magazines
Paint lockers
Inflam store
Funnels
What’s DC state 1
1- all pumps running
2- DC state 1 valves shut

Controllable pitch propellor
What machinery is cooled by the auxiliary machinery circulation system ?
Diesel generators
Air conditioning plant
Two reasons for using fresh water to directly cool machinery ?
•Some equipment may be susceptible to corrosion
•The system may be affected by salt water contamination
If the fresh water pump then the system can be x-connected to the HPSWM. Who’s permission do you need ?
The MEOS

Special areas defined by the international maritime organisation (IMO)
Caribbean
Celtic sea
Mediterranean Sea
Celtic sea
English channel
Irish Sea
North sea
Baltic Sea
Most common sources of oily water contamination
Bilges
Fuel systems
Oily systems
CPP systems
Point to make sure the least amount of oil enters the bilge
Keep machinery spotless
Monitor and investigate heavy uses
No surfactants to be used
Afff used only real risk situations
Eductors to be manned in operation
Maximise use of shoreside facilities
Define black water sewage
It is defined as drainage from Wcs, urinals, medical compartments and any water mixed with this waste
