15a.2.2 — Fire Pumps Regeling veiligheid zeeschepen

Fire Pumps

15A.2.2.1 The power driven fire pump should have a capacity of

2.5x{1+0.066x(L(B+D))0.5}2 m3 /hour

where:

L = the length

B = the greatest moulded breadth

D = the moulded depth measured to the bulkhead deck at amidships.

When discharging at full capacity through 2 adjacent fire hydrants, the pump

should be capable of maintaining a water pressure of 0.2N/mm2 at any hydrant, provided the fire hose can be effectively controlled at this pressure.

15A.2.2.2 The second fire pump, which may be portable, should have a capacity of at least 80% of that required by 15A.2.2.1 and be capable of input to the fire main. A permanent sea connection, external to the machinery space, should be provided. ‘Throw-over’ sea suctions are not acceptable.

15A.2.2.3 Each centrifugal fire pump should be provided with a non-return valve in the connection to the fire main.
