9、tted in cargo tank area. They are to be separated from non-gas-dangerous areas by means of cofferdams with gas-tight bulkheads. The entire system of pumps, strainers, separators, and heaters, if any, is to be located in the cargo pump room or other space considered dangerous. Such spaces are to be s
10、eparated from the engine and boiler room by gas-tight bulkheads (See 10.0). When the crude oil is heated by steam or hot water the outlet of the heating coils is to be led to a separate observation tank installed with the above mentioned components. This closed tank is to be fitted with a vent pipe
11、led to the atmosphere in a safe location in accordance with the requirements for tankers in the “Rules for Huilding and Classing Steel Vessels.” This vent outlet is to be fitted with a suitable flameproof gauze of corro- sion-resistant material which is to be easily removable for,kleaning. b, A+ 4.0
12、 Fuel-oil Burning Arrangements are to be provided in all cases for burning fuel oil as well as crude oil and slops. These arrangements are to comply with the “Rules for Huilding and Classing Steel Vessels.” The fuel-oil supply to and the returns from biirriers are to be equipped with a suitable mech
13、anical interlocking device that precludes the simultaneous hiirning of fuel oil and crude oil. 5.0 Boilers ABS #I5 78 Ob53302 O032220 042 Boilers are to ,e of a type suitable for burning low-flash-point fuels. The boiler casings are to be gas tight and are to be tested for gas tightness. When boiler
14、s are fitted with a double casing, particular care is to be taken to preclude the possibility of gases leaking into and being trapped between the casings or accumulating in pockets in the inner easing. Means are to be provided so that the boiler can be purged automatically before firing. 6.0 Vent Ho
15、od Boilers are to be fitted with a suitable hood constructed in such a way as to enclose burners, valves, and oil pipes as much as possible without preventing or restricting the flow of air into the burner registers. The hood is to be fitted with suitable doors placed in such a way as to enable insp
16、ection of and provide access to oil pipes and valves enclosed within it and is to be connected with a duct exhausting to the open deck in a safe location. This duct is to be fitted with a suitable protective screen, easily removable for cleaning. At least two me- chanically-driven exhaust fans havin
17、g nonsparking impellers are to be fitted to insure that pressure inside the hood is maintained at a level less than that in the boiler room. These exhaust fans are to be con- nected with an automatic changeover in case of the stopping or failure of the fan in operation. The exhaust-fan prime movers
18、are to be outside the duct with a gas-tight penetration for the driving shaft. 7.0 Pipe Duct Crude-oil or slop piping is to be enclosed within a gas-tight metal duct for its entire length within the engine and boiler room. The duct and enclosed piping are to be inclined so that the boiler side is hi
19、gher than the pump-room side in order to provide for the return of oil toward the pump room in case of leakage or failure in delivery pressure. This duct is to be fitted inboard of the vessels side a distance at least equal to one-fifth of the vessels beam amidships. The duct is to be fitted with ga
20、s-tight doors for inspection of pipe connections, and an auto- matic-closing drain trap at the pump-room side of the duct arranged for discharge into the pump room in the event of crude-oil or slop leakage. A vent pipe is to be fitted on the highest part of the duct discharging to a safe location an
21、d fitted with a suitable flameproof gauze of corrosion resistant material which is to be easily removable for cleaning. The duct is to be permanently connected to qn approved inert-gas system or steam supply in order to provide for t% following. Injection of inert gas or steam in the duct in case of
