Cargo Hold Fire Detection and CO2 Extinguishing system

MARINESHELF publishes articles contributed by seafarers and other marine related sites solely for the benefit of seafarers .All copyright materials are owned by its respective authors or publishers.

In normal operation the extractor fan draws air sample from the cargo space through the bridge cabinet. The fan vents to atmosphere if the hold contains dangerous cargo.

The cabinet contains clear tubes within which are plastic balls. If the lines to the hold are clear the ball ‘floats’, a blocked pipe causes the ball to obscure the detector.

In the event of fire then the smoke will cause obscuration and the alarm sounds. An ionisation detector chamber can also be fitted for detecting products of combustion.


In order to release CO2 the three-way valves, which are arranged to prevent connection of CO2 to the bridge, are turned and the required number of bottles of CO2 are released. The hold pressure must be closely monitored.

Fire detection system was not on my list. But after a recent breakout in my factory, I desperately needed the best one and Egroup India provided me value. Their products are superior to most and hence would suggest for your personal use as well.
