Introduction

1. Background of standard formulation and technological evolution

GB/T 34424—2017 "Equivalent water-based fire-fighting system for ships" is an important standard for ship fire safety in China, aiming to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment on board. With the advancement of ship technology and the improvement of firefighting requirements, this standard came into being and replaced the old version of the standard to meet more complex fire prevention and control needs.

2. Comparison of standard frameworks

Standard dimensions GB/T 34424—2017 Old version of the standard International comparison
Design specifications Clearly define the zoning design of the fire extinguishing system and require the system to have immediate startup capability The design requirements are relatively general In line with the IMO Convention
Performance parameters Key parameters such as extinguishing agent flow, pressure, and nozzle arrangement are clearly quantified Parameter requirements are not specific enough Consistent with international standards
Test methods The test process under different fire scenarios is refined, and more stringent evaluation indicators are introduced The test requirements are relatively simple Comply with IMO MSC/Circ.1236 guidelines

3. Interpretation of the core content of the standard

3.1 Fire extinguishing system design requirements

Partition independence: The fire extinguishing system needs to be divided into several independent partitions to ensure that the failure of one area does not affect other areas.

Water supply: The system must be equipped with a permanent seawater inlet and have the ability to be used continuously. The seawater inlet should be reasonably arranged to avoid cutting off the seawater supply to the water pump during inspection or repair.

3.2 Key Performance Indicators

Nozzle flow calculation formula: $$ q=K\sqrt{10P} $$ Where, $q$ is the nozzle flow (L/min), $K$ is the flow coefficient, and $P$ is the working pressure (MPa). This formula ensures the flow stability of the nozzle under different working pressures.

3.3 Fire extinguishing system protection requirements

Electrical component protection: The electrical components on the pressure source should meet the protection level of IP44 in GB/T 4208-2017 to ensure resistance to vibration, moisture and salt spray corrosion in the ship environment.

3.4 Fire extinguishing test method

Jet fire test: According to different fire scenarios (such as engine model top, oil pan fire, etc.), commercial fuel oil or light diesel oil is used as fuel to test the extinguishing ability of the fire extinguishing system. Among them, Table 4 specifies 8 different test scenarios, and each scenario must achieve the specified fire extinguishing effect.

4. Implementation Suggestions

a) Installation and Maintenance: - Ensure that the sprinkler nozzles are arranged reasonably and avoid areas that are not suitable for water inflow. - Regularly check the performance of filters and pumps to prevent blockage. - Perform system pressure test according to the manufacturer's manual.b) Personnel Training: - Train the crew to be familiar with the operation procedures of the fire extinguishing system. - Master the alarm and activation procedures in emergency situations. - Learn how to interpret the system alarm signals.c) Periodic Inspection: - Conduct a comprehensive inspection once a year, including appearance, protection and performance tests. - Develop a maintenance plan based on the use environment. - Replace damaged or aged parts in a timely manner.
