Typical Application Concepts for Methanol Fuel Systems
Protection concepts for methanol-fuelled ships focus on controlling tank breathing, preventing flame transmission, and managing pressure and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. conditions throughout the fuel system. The solutions shown here illustrate how PROTEGO® devices are applied to safeguard fuel tanks, vapor return lines, and in-line piping while meeting the requirements of IMO MSC.1/Circ.1621 and relevant international standards.
All devices presented comply with documented testing and type approvals in accordance with EN ISO 16852, ISO/IEC 80079-49, and ISO 15364, with marine-specific approvals available through classification authorities upon request.
The examples shown represent typical protection concepts. Final device Device A device is a pipe component that influences the media flow by opening, closing, or partially shutting off the flow channel or by dividing or mixing the media flow. selection and arrangement depend on vessel Vessel Container or structural envelope in which materials are processed, treated or stored. design, fuel system layout, and classification requirements.
Application Example Scheme A
- PROTEGO® Flame Arresters Flame Arresters A flame arrester, deflagration arrester, or flame trap is a device or form of construction that will allow free passage of a gas or gaseous mixture but will interrupt or prevent the passage of flame. are type approved as per EN ISO 16852 and conform to ISO/IEC 80079-49 respectively to prevent against the impact of atmospheric deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). and endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time.
