Abstract

The flammable gas monitoring system is to be provided in cargo pump rooms of tankers in accordance with the requirements of SOLAS regulations, and flammable gas detectors are to be arranged in a proper position. In this paper, simulation tests and CFD analysis are carried out under the actual ventilation conditions of pump rooms in the ship in service. Based on the results, a new guidelines for an arrangement of flammable gas detectors are suggested.
