2.2.4.5 The vessel(s) and outgoing pipes permanently filled with carbon dioxide shall
have thermal insulation preventing the operation of the safety valve in 24 h after
de-energizing the plant, at ambient temperature of 45oC and an initial pressure equal to
the starting pressure of the refrigeration unit.
2.2.4.6
The vessel(s) shall be serviced by two automated completely independent
refrigerating units solely intended for this purpose, each comprising a compressor and the
relevant prime mover, evaporator and condenser.
2.2.4.7 The refrigerating capacity and the automatic control of each unit shall be so as to
maintain the required temperature under conditions of continuous operation during 24 h at
sea temperatures up to 32oC and ambient air temperatures up to 45oC.
2.2.4.8 Each electric refrigerating unit shall be supplied from the main switchboard
busbars by a separate feeder.
2.2.4.9 Cooling water supply to the refrigerating plant (where required) shall be provided
from at least two circulating pumps one of which being used as a stand-by. The stand-by
pump may be a pump used for other services so long as its use for cooling would not
interfere with any other essential service of the ship. Cooling water shall be taken from
not less than two sea connections, preferably one port and one starboard.
2.2.4.10 Safety relief devices shall be provided in each section of pipe that may be
isolated by block valves and in which there could be a build-up of pressure in excess of
the design pressure of any of the components.
2.2.4.11 Audible and visual alarms shall be given in a central control station or, in
accordance with regulation II-1/51, where a central control station is not provided, when:
.1 the pressure in the vessel(s) reaches the low and high values according
to paragraph 2.2.4.2;
.2 any one of the refrigerating units fails to operate; or
.3 the lowest permissible level of the liquid in the vessels is reached.
2.2.4.12 If the system serves more than one space, means for control of discharge
quantities of CO

shall be provided, e.g. automatic timer or accurate level indicators
located at the control position(s).
2.2.4.13 If a device is provided which automatically regulates the discharge of the rated
quantity of carbon dioxide into the protected spaces, it shall be also possible to regulate
the discharge manually.
2.3 Requirements of steam systems
The boiler or boilers available for supplying steam shall have an evaporation of at
least 1 kg of steam per hour for each 0.75 m3 of the gross volume of the largest space so
protected. In addition to complying with the foregoing requirements, the systems in all
respects shall be as determined by, and to the satisfaction of, the Administration.

2.4 Systems using gaseous products of fuel combustion
2.4.1 General
Where gas other than carbon dioxide or steam, as permitted by paragraph 2.3, is produced
on the ship and is used as a fire-extinguishing medium, the system shall comply with the
requirements in paragraph 2.4.2.
2.4.2 Requirements of the systems
2.4.2.1 Gaseous products
Gas shall be a gaseous product of fuel combustion in which the oxygen content, the
carbon monoxide content, the corrosive elements and any solid combustible elements in a
gaseous product shall have been reduced to a permissible minimum.
2.4.2.2 Capacity of fire-extinguishing systems
2.4.2.2.1 Where such gas is used as the fire-extinguishing medium in a fixed
fire-extinguishing system for the protection of machinery spaces, it shall afford protection
equivalent to that provided by a fixed system using carbon dioxide as the medium.
2.4.2.2.2 Where such gas is used as the fire-extinguishing medium in a fixed
fire-extinguishing system for the protection of cargo spaces, a sufficient quantity of such
gas shall be available to supply hourly a volume of free gas at least equal to 25% of the
gross volume of the largest space protected in this way for a period of 72 h.
2.5 Equivalent fixed gas fire-extinguishing systems for machinery spaces and cargo
pump-rooms
Fixed gas fire-extinguishing systems equivalent to those specified in paragraphs 2.2 to 2.4
shall be approved by the Administration based on the guidelines developed by the
Organization.∗"
