Abstract

Fire is the most deadly type of ship safety accident, because ship fires are generally accompanied by bad sea conditions due to their poor fighting conditions, and the ship’s engine room environment has more oil and gas, and the equipment layout is chaotic and the space is narrow. Once a fire is fired, it is more difficult and dangerous. Therefore, ship fires are also regarded as one of the most difficult fires to extinguish. In this paper, the feasibility of using seawater in the ship’s pressurized water mist fire extinguishing system is studied. The feasibility of seawater fog fire extinguishing is explored through the characteristics of ship water pressure and water mist. From the experimental results, it can be seen that seawater fog is used in ship fire fighting. The obvious effect is therefore that it is feasible to use seawater to extinguish the ship’s pressure water mist fire extinguishing system.
