140.Emergency bilge suction

February 10, 2019 Posted by AK No comments
- Simple valve located in E/R bottom platform (Fwd) to pump out water in case of E/R flooding.
- Connected to the highest capacity pump in the E/R
 -This valve is same as a normal globe valve, but to be specific, it is usually of the "screw-down non-return" type.
 - The valve is connected to a pipe, which is left open at the engine room bilge, such that it can take suction. The other end of the valve is connected to sea water pump suction, which is normally
the highest capacity pump in the engine room. If ballast pump is a highest capacity pump in the engine room then the valve may have a connection to the ballast pump too.
