Complex inspection of carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems (CO2) on sea-going vessels

Annual surveys of carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishing systems at sea and river vessels are available at LLC "ROSFLOTERSERVICE".

The Technological Instructions approved by the classification societies take into account recommendations and requirements for maintenance and support of the fire extinguishing system, as specified in the SOLAS Convention, Chapter II-2, Part E, Rule 14.

The instructions take into account recommendations for the stationary fire extinguishing system CO2, reflected in Chapter 5 of the International Fire Safety Code, and the IMO Circulars MSC.1Circ.1318 and MSC.1Circ.1432.

In the process of maintenance and inspection, the service engineers of LLC "ROSFLOTSERVICE" duly pay attention to CO2 start-up control systems, ventilation of fire-extinguishing stations, and warning of start-up warning.

If necessary, hydraulic testing of carbon dioxide cylinders and air start cylinders can be carried out, flexible hoses, membranes, repair of pipelines, reinforcement and measurement of residual thicknesses are made and replaced.

Maintenance of systems is carried out without dismantling and weighing of each cylinder. Service engineers use ultrasonic level indicators (level meters) from world manufacturers such as UNITOR, COLTRACO. The use of these level meters can significantly reduce the time during the annual maintenance of the system. After determining the level of carbon dioxide in the cylinder, the calculation is made by the formula, the balloons with a spherical bottom are emphasized.

After the completion of the survey of the system, an international certificate is issued and issued, which confirms the work done properly and is accepted by the port authorities of any port in the world.
