Hypermist, Local xed re ghting system

The engine room is a potential hazards space, it contains fuel line and high-
temperature heating and exhaust line. Even a small human mistake or
mechanical failure may lead to a disastrous situation. That’s why ER is being
provided with xed re ghting system to be used as a last resource for
extinguishing a re. But there are other tools to extinguish a re at a very early
stage, e.g. portable and semi-portable re ghting extinguisher, local
re ghting system(like puri er room system), high-pressure water mist system.
Although high-pressure water mist system (hyper mist system) is a xed re
ghting system, it is often called as local re ghting system because of it’s
installation and extinguishing mechanism.

procedure.

1. Automatic starting
Hyper mist system is provided with detectors as composed of minimum two
detectors in each protected area. When perceiving a re via one detector in any
protected area, the pre-warning alarm will start. Activation of the other
detector in the same protected area, it will automatically result in the release of
the hyper mist system by opening the suction valve and start the pump. If the
solenoid valve is not open, it can be opened by using override.

the manual release push button is pressed, the re alarm, as well as the

Stopping procedure of Hyper mist

Stopping of the system to be done manual only. The push button is provided at
the local control panel as well as the main control panel. By pushing the stop
button we can stop the system.

Note – Drain the system and put it in a normal condition after any
test.

Maintenance of Hyper mist system

To avoid any malfunctioning, for better operation and e ciency the system to
maintain as per makers manual. We have to follow daily and periodic
maintenance. Here we are discussing few points but for maintenance on ship
refer your system manual.

Daily
• Control panel to be checked for any abnormal indication.
• The alarm monitoring system to be checked for any abnormal
indication.
Monthly
• Pump operation to be checked. Running condition, water pressure,
any abnormal noise or vibration.
• Wire disconnection check and lamp tests to be carried out.
Every 6 month
• Various alarm to be checked
• If possible check the interlocks
Every year
• Check the clogging of the nozzle. We can do it by air blowing.
• Overhaul the pump unit, section valve, lter etc.

Note – If having any problem with the nozzle, don’t disassemble it and send it
to the manufacturer.
