10 Safety drills and inspections
Published in D. S. Bist, Safety and Security at Sea, 2013
An annual test confirms that: Fire doors and ventilator dampers are controllable from their remote stations.Fixed fire detecting systems are efficient.Fixed fire fighting systems are effective, all visible components in good order, sprinkler pumps develop correct pressures, anti-freeze solutions are adequate and cross-connections between fire mains and sprinkler systems function smoothly.Fire pumps are able to deliver required pressures and flow rates.
Specific Maintenance Procedures and Requirements
Published in Ryan Cruzan, Manager’s Guide to Preventive Building Maintenance, 2020
Fire pumps require weekly visual inspections in-house and annual testing. Dry system gauges should also be inspected weekly to verify that water has not entered the dry part of the system. Wet system gauges should be inspected monthly. These inspections can also be performed in-house.
What are fire protection systems?
Published in Samuel L. Hurt, Building Systems in Interior Design, 2017
Fire pumps are used for sprinkler and/or standpipe systems when there is inadequate water volume or pressure coming to the facility (or for ESFR systems where they are simply required). There are two basic types of fire pumps: electric and engine-driven.
Seismic Probabilistic Risk Analysis and Application in a Nuclear Power Plant
Published in Nuclear Technology, 2018
The SSCs for optimization are focused on those SSE1 SSCs. If their seismic risk importance metrics are low, they will be put in the potential candidate list for further consideration. Based on the seismic PRA risk analysis, there are more than 38 SSCs whose designed SSE capacity can be decreased to save cost. Most of them are mechanical components. Current industrial technology can provide them with a high seismic margin while still having no big difference in cost. In this case, reducing their designed seismic capacity is not necessary. But for some buildings, a lower designed seismic capacity means a lot of expenditures can be saved. Based on the seismic risk importance values and the cost reduction difference, the following structures are suggested to be adjusted to a lower designed seismic level but still higher than the site SSE: nuclear auxiliary buildingradioactive waste buildingemergency cooling system and NI fire pump building.

An HTA for operating procedures of the emergency fire pump is provided in Table 5. There are at least two prime movers to start up the pump located on deck, bridge, engine control room or forecastle deck.
