2、m-1 (MLP), a welder smelled smoke through the hole he was working on and found a fire in the floor insulation of compartment 16B. Investigation revealed that air-arcing under MLP-1 ignited hydraulic fluid that had accumulated in the floor insulation of compartment 16B. Hydraulic pumping units leaked
3、 hydraulic fluid onto the insulation for several years. Hot particles released by air-arcing blew into compartment 16B as the welder penetrated the MLP bottom panel, and the fluid ignited.Lesson(s) Learned: Hydraulic fluid, dripped by hydraulic pumping units onto floor insulation may be ignited by h
4、ot particles propelled into the area during air-arcing.Recommendation(s): Design and install drain pans to catch and contain leaking hydraulic fluid beneath hydraulic components.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: N/ADocuments Related to Lesson: N/AProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduct
