How Does The Main Dry Powder Fire Extinguishing System Really Work? Training Video for All Crews 🔝⚓

LNG Carriers have a very well known reputation in regards to their safety performance.All crew have to be well trained on how to operate the dry powder system and does the dry powder fire extinguish system really work.Training is carried out to the main fire fighting extinguishing systems on a two month rotation.Crews are requested to pay attention to the operation of these systems and ask the assistance of the Officers on Board the Ship as necessary.
This is a training video for all officers out there.

Many thanks to you Captain for this great video. I want to ask you regarding the aiming of the cannons upon the manifolds. Once a second mate told me it has to be aimed at angle of about 45- 60 degrees in order to get the max possible coverage of all manifolds in use ( minding also the loss of pressure , as the system is running) . But i never manage to cross check this info. Do you know if thats true ?

[@nickthesailorman360]

Good morning Kalimera Kosta, yes he told you correctly most probably for the discharging arms to be used if your vessel was loading or discharging. If you are currently on board an LNG carrier you may find this information on the SOLAS firefighting manual and on the telephone booth area on the Port and Starboard of the Manifolds. The diagram is there and it displays requires elevation and angle to be set accordingly.

@@nickthesailorman360 Thank you Captain for the feedback, i will have a look on that.

I love and enjoy when someone is posting videos like this, thank you. Since the last time, I was a chief officer on board an LPG gas carrier, for every single operation, I passed my time explaining to my crew members the use of the DCP remote stations, paying special attention to the release of the system remotely and operating from the release boxes utilizing a NITROGEN PILOT cylinder or al- alternatively manually operated at the dry powder unit. A pilot valve opens the main discharge valve, and the dry powder flows through the distribution manifold to the monitor or hand hose line in question, as you have explained. At the present moment, I am looking for employment. Rgds

[@bimosatriotrengginas1510]

dry powder hose cabinet with 33 m must covered LOA of vessel and the manifold port and stbd must have dry powder monitoring, and for dry powder hose cabinet can disch 3 kg/sec and for dry powder monitoring 10 kg/sec, every dry powder hose cabinet and dry powder monitoring must be running min 45 sec, from that you can count the minimum capacity of fix dry powder tank on board, if i'm not mistaken...

Thanks for your explanation. one question i have, i think dry powder release control box to be located on trunk deck not near manifold and dry powder nozzle to be fixed. even if fire fighting euiqment has, it's very dangerous to reach manifold area.

[@nickthesailorman360]

This is as per regulations there locally but there is the other one in the CCR.

Hi Capt. That is a very helpfull content specialyfor all of the sailors whos incharge ofmaintenace. May i ask who's incharge of preventive maintenance of FFE and LSA in your vessel?

[@nickthesailorman360]

Hello there we assign Second or Third Officers to carry out the maintenance on board but in overall charge - responsibility is the safety officer Chief Officer.

[@nah200]

Can someone clarify that why nitrogen is used as propelling agent instead if co2 in DCP type fire extinguishing systems. I recon that moisture in gas may solidify DCP into cakes and similar substance but usually both nitrogen and co2 are dry gases .

[@garikapatishanmukh8921]

Good job captain.got an idea on how dry chemical powder is used and operated on LNG ships.

[@nickthesailorman360]

Wonderful thats nice to know.

[@HerculesKumar88]

Sir is there any time delay after the pilot cylinder is activated..and before it reaches the monitor ?

[@jeevithanrobindo3270]

Thanks for the well explanation about the DCP system. I have a doubt in maintenance of DCP system. 1)how to avoid caking inside the fixed DCP systems ?`(generally in portable extinguisher we make it by upside down and shaking the portable extinguisher.) 2)how to take foam sample content ?

[@nickthesailorman360]

Sagitation is the one you need to look in to, I have done it and requires a good quantity of nitrogen cylinders under pressure.
