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 ?
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.
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
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...
Thank you very much sir, I sail on LPG ships and this video helped me a lot in recognising terms and actual working of the systems. I am now on land and goin for my officer exam and reading manual I was not able to recall everything, and your video helped to to understand very easily. Make more of such videos. Thanks a lot! Please make one of CO2 system for Engine room also and one of fire station too in LPG/LNG Ships
@@nickthesailorman360 Thank you very much for your reply sir, I have subscribed and will keep following your channel. I completed by cadetship in engine side. Seen your other videos too, really helpful and informative for we cadets onboard/exam purposes.
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.
Captain Nick, You have shown an excellent video concerning the DCP system, that is very understandable and helpful, as ever!! Well done!! How does the life of the powder last, when non used? Thanking You in advance, Best wishes for Safe Voyages!!🚢🚢
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?
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.
@@nickthesailorman360 im going 2 be a marine biologist but in my ship theres no powder hose , but it will be helpfull if a tanker saves me if my ship sinks
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 .
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 ?

Hello good Sir.If u dont mind,can u please explain and show the steps on how to perform the 2-yearly dry powder agitation for the main agent tank.And also the steps on how to perform the blow through test with dry air?Please Sir,these will help me alot.Looking forward to your reply

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

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.
Sir is there any time delay after the pilot cylinder is activated..and before it reaches the monitor ?
im a fan of fire hoses and ships, this abc powder hose is very strange and i wish 2 use it
Thats good to hear :) I wish you good luck and only usage of it for training purposes

Good job captain.got an idea on how dry chemical powder is used and operated on LNG ships.
Wonderful thats nice to know.
In fixed dcp we wont use magnesium sterate but in portable dcp extinguisher we use ... what is the reason behind it sir
Sorry for the late reply but I havent had time to check on my comments.

Why only nitrogen gas is used in the pilot and main bottles, thanks.
This is cheap to produce and meets the requirements.
so the valve before the monitor will be normally open?
Yes indeed
