| Abstract | Full-scale fire tests were conducted to identify the fire extinguishing capabilities and limitations of High Expansion Foam Fire Suppression Systems (HEFFSS) in shipboard machinery space applications. A total of 35 tests were conducted in this evaluation utilizing the equipment and foam concentrates from three manufacturers. Each manufacturer was responsible for the design of their respective system. These designs were based on the minimum SOLAS/FSS Code requirements plus some additional capacity to provide a factor of safety for these tests. Each system was evaluated against the three large fire scenarios described in the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) gaseous agent test protocol (MSC/Circ. 848). The reason the HEFFSS test protocol (MSC/Circ. 670) was not used is discussed in the article. In addition to the tests in MSC/Circ. 848, parametric assessments of fill rate, fire size and type, and the use of inside air (the products of combustions) to make the foam were also conducted (one parameter for each of the three systems).In summary, there were significant differences in capabilities between the three systems. All three systems easily extinguished the pan fires included in this evaluation independent of the type of fuel (heptane or diesel). The differences in system capabilities were observed during the extinguishment of the spray fires (namely the heptane spray fires). The heptane spray fires presented a major challenge to the HEFFSS and in some cases, were not extinguished. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
