Cummins alternator tested by water-based fire sprinkler system

Cummins Generator Technology (China) Co., Ltd. recently passed the alternator test of the SOLAS-compliant water-based fire sprinkler system. The testimony was endorsed by five classification societies of ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), BV (French Classification Society), CCS (China Classification Society), DNV (Norwegian Classification Society), and GL (German Classification Society).

In 2002, the International Maritime Organization introduced the local fire-fighting and fire-fighting system according to the new requirements of the Maritime Safety Convention, requiring new cargo ships and passenger ships to comply with relevant regulations in 2005. The new specification applies to alternators and other electric machines installed in the area of ​​water-based fire suppression systems. The basic requirements of each classification society are as follows: The electrical and electronic equipment components normally under the protection conditions of the water-based fire sprinkler system require that the degree of protection is not less than the IP44 level; however, if the electrical and electronic equipment components with the protection level of IP23 can provide Properly relevant proofs are equally applicable. In order to meet the needs of market price competition, marine alternator manufacturers must provide relevant test certificates for the generators below IP44 if they need to be installed under water-based fire-fighting conditions to prove that the company's generators can meet the conditions. The operation of the situation. The witness test currently has only two companies in the country to pass partial certification, Cummins generators UK factory has only carried out a partial test of the product.

Cummins Generator Technology (China) Co., Ltd. in order to increase market competitiveness and meet customer needs, the company's IP23 series marine motors are installed under water-based fire-fighting spray conditions, in line with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization, the company has become a project team. . The company's project team started the project in November last year and actively contacted the major laboratories and major classification societies in China. Due to the fact that there are no mature test equipment and test methods in China, SOLAS test certification can be carried out, and in the case of short time and many disputes of various classification societies, the type test team overcomes various difficulties and, with the support of the management of the company, Actively guide the functional departments of technology, sales, product application, self-editing test process, communicate with various classification societies, and test equipment with low procurement cost, successfully completed the test witness task delivered by the company.
