4.2 Intelligent/Analog Detectors
NOTE: Do not install FS20 Detectors in cargo holds and Roll On / Roll Off (RO/RO) spaces.
Areas to Protect:
• ACCOMMODATION SPACES ( PHOTO)
Halls, dining rooms, lounges, and areas of this type with permanent walls, corridors, sanitation facilities,
cabins, offices, infirmaries, and leisure rooms not containing cooking appliances
• SERVICE AREA (PHOTO, HEAT)
Service cabinets, radio rooms, strong rooms, stores, workshops other than machinery spaces, and
similar area, including and not limited to shafts going to them, as well as life-vest storage area
• SPECIAL AREAS (PHOTO, HEAT) Closed areas for transport of special materials
• SAFETY STATIONS (PHOTO, HEAT)
Area housing the radio equipment, major navigation equipment, standby generator and central
installation
• MACHINERY SPACES (PHOTO, HEAT)
Areas housing the propulsion unit, boilers, liquid-fuel handling units, stabilization equipment, ventilation
and air conditioning equipment, and similar areas, including the shafts running to them
Due to the irregular shape of most machinery spaces and the strong air currents present, the number
and type of detectors used cannot be based on the area protected, as is in the common practice on
land-based installations and ship accommodation spaces.
The best design approach is to pick out all potential fire outbreak areas and place a fire detector above
each of them at deck level. Areas of potential fire risk include the following:
Auxiliary boiler front
Main boiler front
Fuel oil pressure pumps
Auxiliary generator sets
Main diesel engine fuel oil pumps and
injectors
Fuel oil purifiers
Lubricating oil purifiers
Fuel oil transfer pumps
Workshops
Electrical switchboards
Storerooms
Locate additional detectors with wide spacing to give general cover to areas not containing special risk.
