Abstract

A study to evaluate the fire extinguishing performance of the water mist system inside simulated machinery spaces according to IMO MSC/Circ.668 was performed. Fire tests were conducted inside a compartment having a area 100$m^2$(10m${\times}$10m) with a ceiling height of 10m and door opening of 2m${\times}$2m in size. Test fuels were used heptane, diesel, wood crib and mineral oil. Water mist nozzles were installed downward at ceiling and horizontally at bilge area. All fires in the test were extinguished within 15minutes of system activation and there was no reignition or fire spread.
