    The document discusses the purpose and operation of bilge and cargo pumping systems. It explains that bilge systems are used to remove water from dry compartments and describes the components of typical bilge systems such as non-return valves, suction pipes, and emergency bilge pumps. Diagrams are included to illustrate bilge pump arrangements and connections to other pumps. Requirements for bilge pump capacities, locations, and connections to ensure adequate drainage of compartments are also covered.

    Operaton of Bilge and Cargo

    Pumping system
    ILO
    • Explains the purpose of a bilge pumping system.
    • Explains why non-return valves are fitted to bilge pipes in
    waterltight compartment swich contain the open end of
    pipe(Suction).
    • Sketches a diagrammatic arrangement of a bilge pumping
    system including connection to other pump.
    • Describe the purpose siting and common principal connection
    of an emergency bilge suction.
    • Describe the principal features of a bilge pump.
    Bilge System
    • its essential purpose is to clear water from the ship’s “dry”
    compartments during an emergency
    • clears water and oil which accumulates in machinery space
    bilges as a result of leakage or draining, and when washing
    down cargo holds
    Purposes of a bilge pumping system and why non-return
    valves are fitted to bilge pipes in watertight compartments
    which contain the open end of the pipe

    • A piping system and pumping plant should be provided to


    pump out and drain any adjacent to damage watertight
    compartments (including tween decks) under all reasonable
    damage conditions
    • Vessel shall have at least four independent power pumps
    connected to the main line. Ballast, sanitary, etc. is acceptable
    and also, engine driven pump
    • One such pump should be of the remote-controlled
    submersible type or the power pumps and controls should be
    so placed so that one pump is always available under all
    reasonable damage conditions. Where possible, each pump
    should be located in separate watertight compartment
    • Pumps should be of the self-priming type unless efficient
    priming devices are provided. The capacity of the pumps
    should give a water speed in the main line if not less than 2
    m/s, and the capacity may be determined from a given
    empirical formula
    • Main engine circulating pumps shall have a direct suction
    (with non-return valves), draining the lowest level in the
    machinery space; such suction at least 2/3 of the diameter of
    the main sea inlet. In motor ships, this should apply but direct
    suction on other suitable pumps of equivalent capacity is
    acceptable.
    • Bilge pipes should not be led through oil tanks or D.B. tanks.
    Joints should be flanged and pipes should be independent to
    the bilge systems only
    • Collision bulkheads should not be pierced below the margin
    line by more than one pipe. Such pipe should be fitted with a
    screw down valve operated from above the bulkhead deck,
    valve chest being screwed to the forward side of collision
    bulkhead (divided peaks may have 2 pipes).
    • Valves and cocks not forming part of pipe system are not to be
    secured to watertight bulkhead. Pipes, cables, etc. passing
    through such a bulkhead are to be provided with watertight
    fittings to retain the integrity of the bulkhead. Connection
    attached to such bulkheads is to be made by screwed or
    welded studs, not by tap bolts passing through clearance
    holes
    • The bilge piping system is to be separate from cargo and oil
    fuel systems, spindle to all master valves, bilge injection, etc.
    should be clearly marked and accessible at all times
    • Bilge valves should be of non-return type. Valves, blanks, lock-
    ups, etc. must be provided to prevent connection between
    sea and bilges or bilges and water ballast, etc. at the same
    time
    • Sounding pipes where provided, are to be as straight as
    possible, easily accessible, normally provided with closing
    plugs, machinery space pipes should have self-closing cocks
    Purpose, Siting and Common Principal Connections of an
    Emergency Bilge Suction

    • The function of emergency bilge pump is to drain compartments


    adjacent to a damages (holed) compartment. The pump is capable
    of working when completely submerged. The pump is a standard
    centrifugal pump with reciprocating or rotary air pumps. The motor
    is enclosed in an air bell so that even with the compartment full of
    water, the compressed air in the bell prevents water-gaining access
    to the motor. The motor is usually DC operated by a separate
    remote controlled electric circuit which is part of the vessel’s
    emergency essential electric circuit. The pump is designed to
    operate for long periods without attention and is also suitable for
    use as an emergency fire pump. This design is particularly suited for
    use in large passenger vessels giving outputs of about 60kg/s
    Bilge and Ballast Piping

    • common suction and discharge chests permit one pump to be


    used for bilge and ballast duties
    • the ballast piping has screw lift valves so as to be able to both
    fill and empty purpose-constructed tanks with sea water
    • the bilge system is designed to remove water or oily water
    from “dry” spaces throughout the vessel and is fitted with
    screw-down non-return valves to prevent any flooding back to
    the compartment served
    • the essential safety role of the bilge system means that bilge
    pumps must be capable of discharging directly overboard
