System design.
2.1 Overall system design:
The system design is made by Novenco and approved by classification society and/ or flag
administration.
2.2 Guidelines and recommendations:
XFlow NHP5 Local Application Water Mist systems should be designed in accordance with the
guidelines of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the guidelines and requirements of the
authorities and classification societies in question.
These guidelines do not include all the requirements of all authorities and societies.
2.3 Power supplies:
Power to the system may be taken from the main/emergency switchboard of the ship, if this is sufficient
to supply the system, as well as the ship with the necessary power. In case of fire, priorities should be
taken to ensure that the requested power supply is available for the fire fighting system.
Power supply should be outside the protected area.
2.4 Water Supplies:
The water supply is primarily FW but it is possible to connect seawater to the system.
After activation using seawater/foam agent mix, all the system pipes and components shall be firmly
flushed with clean fresh water, and all pipes shall be dried with compressed air.
Pump unit etc. should be installed outside the protected area.
