INERT GAS
INERT GAS IS A GAS ( or ) COMPOSITION OF GASES WHICH
INERT GAS ON BOARD THE SHIP CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE INERT GAS SYSTEM
BOILER UPTAKE
ASSOCIATED FITTINGS TO
DISTRIBUTE INERT GAS FROM INERT
INERT CONDITION
OXYGEN CONTENT THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE TANK HAS BEEN REDUCED TO <8% BY
VOLUME
SCRUBBER
Flue gas passes to the scrubber via the uptake valve, here it enters at the bottom via a water seal and passes up through a series of sea water sprays and baffle plates being cooled and cleaned before exiting via a demister The water is supplied via the Scrubber pump, the sprays reduce the temperature to within 2*C of the sea water temperature, the Sulphur dioxide content is reduced 90%, and the gas is clear of soot. The tower is rubber lined and other parts are made of glass fiber to protect against the SO2 . The water seal at the bottom is provided by the weir arrangement fitted to the drain system.
BLOWERS
Two types of fans are fitted, a steam turbine driven one of sufficient capacity to supply I.G requirements during cargo ops, and an electrically driven unit with sufficient capacity for topping up only
BLOWERS
CAPACITY = > 125 % OF THE MAX DISCH RATE
REGULATING VALVE
The pressure within the tanks is controlled by automatic or manual operation of the regulating v/v, if the demand is low and the regulating v/v nearly closed then the re-circulating v/v opens thereby reducing the possibility of the fan overheating by passing the gas back to the scrubber tower
DECK SEAL
The Inert gas leaving the engine room to deck passes through the Deck Seal whose purpose is to prevent gases from passing back to the engine room from the cargo tanks. A demister is fitted on the outlet side. The seal is internally rubber lined and a heating coil fitted to allow use in low temperatures.
DECK SEAL
The controlled water level has a low level alarm fitted. As the seal is a primary safety feature it is supplied from the general salt water system when the scrubber pump is not in use. Checks are made on the pipe from the seal to the regulating v/v to ensure no HC prescience which would indicate corrosion damage.
DRY TYPE
water seal.
DECK DISTRIBUTION
This subsystem consists of a single inert gas main running the entire length of the cargo deck, starting at the deck isolating valve aft and ending at the vent valve forward. One or more pressure/vacuum devices are fitted to the inert gas main to prevent the cargo tanks
DECK DISTRIBUTION
The inert gas main contains a means for receiving an outside source of inert gas when the IGS is not functioning. From the
