HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (THRUSTER) FUEL SYSTEM The central hydraulic system will provide power forthe
bow thruster, 2-foredeck
windlasses and 2 aftcapstans. When running, each engine will power one
Rexroth variable displacement
marine hydraulic pump. The two foredeck windlasses will be hydraulicallypowered Muir VRC 4500. Electrical controls operated by hand or foot, viabutton or switch will be local to both windlass and
capstan.Hydraulic and electrical isolation of this equipment iscontrolled via a deck function button situated on the
bridge. If the deck function button is depressed, no
oil will circulate until either one or both gearbox
driven pumps or the AC power pack is activated.The 16" bow thruster, 1 windlass and 1 capstan willoperate at full thrust / pull with reduced line speed
with both main engines running at 570rpm. Fuel is stored in the forward bunker tank integral
with hull structure. Both main propulsion engines
and generators draw and return independently
from/to the daily service tank.This tank shall be replenished, via transfer pumpfrom the bunker tank. This pump can be set to
automatically replenish the daily service tank,
activated at preset levels from the tank level
sensors and is capable of transferring circa 45l/min
of fuel. In the event of failure there is a hand
operated pump.Bunkering to forward tanks will be through individualfilling stations, port and starboard which have an
audible alarm fitted. This alarm will be activated at
90%.Daily service tank and forward tank(s) are fitted withtank level sensors and level alarms. The sensors are
manufactured by Kubler and supplied by Tijssen in
order to ensure complete compatibility of the
system.Emergency fuel shut-off valves will be fitted tosupply piping to main engines and generators,
located on daily service tank. Valves will be remotely
operated and actuated from the fire control locker
with local manual override. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (STEERING) The steering system will operate via a dedicated
electro/hydraulic package. The main components of
which are located in the port side of the garage
area. The main steering gear (tillers and steering >
Sunseeker 34 Metre Yacht
FIRE SUPPRESSION AND DETECTION BILGE SYSTEM The accommodation areas of the yacht are to be
fitted with both heat and smoke detector alarms and
the machinery spaces with heat detector alarms.System alarm panels are to be positioned in thewheelhouse, crew mess / galley area and machinery
control room.The fixed
fire fighting system shall be a Seafire FM200 engineered system with a capacity to
extinguish a fire within the engine room
compartment. Hand held fire extinguishers are fitted in allaccommodation and machinery spaces. In addition a
Fire blanket is fitted in the galley. A bilge system driven by a pump located in the
garage (coupled to a manual start
marine diesel engine) and
a further pump located in the machinery space to
ensure that in the event of any one compartment
being flooded the other pump is available to control
any leakage to adjacent compartments. An engine
driven pump is also available.The machinery space is fitted with three bilgesuctions. One connected to the engine driven pump
for emergency suction. One connected to the bilge
manifold and one connected direct to the secondary
bilge pump arranged so that it can be operated
independently of the bilge manifold. All remaining
bilge suctions are connected to the bilge manifolds
in either the machinery space or the garage.Bilge discharge from either pump will be through adischarge manifold located in the machinery space
and garage.Each bilge suction will be fitted with a detachableand easily cleaned strum box. The owner/captain of the yacht should be remindedthat they are responsible for retention of any oily
water and oil residues onboard and the disposal of
same ashore by recognized means – shore side
tanker or the like. FIRE HYDRANT SYSTEM Fire Hydrant Arrangement
2 pumps will supply a minimum of 2 fire hydrants
positioned to ensure coverage of all areas of the
vessel. Fire fighting equipment (water) will be
provided at fire hydrant points (sited in fire lockers)
and will have fire hoses and nozzles with
instantaneous connections and quick release valves. >
