System code for Bilge system and the Trim & Ballast System
BS - for HP and LP bilge systems
WS - for trim and ballast system
Function of trim system
To adjust the pitch and heel of sub by transferring sea water internally between trim tanks
To provide alternative method of cooling water to various systems and equipment
To provide sea water for domestic use
Function of pressurised water tank
To store sea water under pressure for trim and hover operations
To supply sea water under pressure for centre fed hose reels
Function of hover
For slow speed depth keeping
To provide a rapid de-ballast capability in the event of an emergency
Function of bilge system
Collect water from bilge areas to maintain clean and dry conditions and collect waste water from tanks serviced by the system
Remove oil from dirty bilge water and discharge overboard
Function on HP bilge pump
To discharge bilge water at down to Deep Diving Depth
To take over the role of HP ballast pump
To run in parallel with the HP Ballast Pump for rapid de-ballasting
Who regulates us for garbage disposal
MARPOL 73/78
Hazards associated with the trim systems
Flooding which can cause inappropriate depth change
Internal leaks
Contaminates in proximity with personnel
Hazards associated with the bilge and ballast priming system
Failure or incorrect operation may cause damage to the pumps
What pressure is the gas in the systems
276 Bar
Hazard after 64 bulkhead
Breathing in nitrogen
Major functions of bottle groups
VOGS
fire fighting systems
Hydraulic accumulators
Method of preventing corrosion in the RC
Why do we have a high pressure air system
Store
Distribute
Compress
Services
Where are the bottle groups
Inside ballast tanks
System code for HP Air system
HPA
Normal operating pressure of HP air system
276 bar
Why do we bleed out valves
To prevent diesling
Alternative and emergency modes
Alternatively- Locally, using hydels or by opening hydraulic bypass valves
Emergency - gaining captains permission and opening captains valve
Function of HPACs
Use air from ships atmosphere to fill up HP air bottle groups
Function of integrity valves
To ensure even during a loss of one complete side of the HP air system, services will still be supplied
System code for HP and emergency blow system
HPB
What do we need to do before we remotely operate the MP Ballast pump
The starter must be set to Auto Remote
What does a basic system need
A method of storing gas
A method of compressing gas
A method of distributing gas
A method of isolating individual components
Function of AV&B
EBS
Modes of operation for main HP valves
Remotely: (SCC)
Locally: Hydels or by opening hydraulic bypass valves and the GIV’s or Main Blows by hand.
Emergency: Captains valves
