The consequences of the failure of the fire extinguishing system on the Prince of Wales aircraft carrier of the British Navy

Details have emerged as to why the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales was unable to reach the waters for joint exercises with the US Navy. Initially it was reported that the aircraft carrier's crew "could not solve the problems with the appearance of water in the internal compartments."

The specific consequences of this incident are described.

In Britain, it is reported that the Prince of Wales, which is valued at more than $ 4 billion, suffered a fire extinguishing system failure. In this regard, the water began to flood part of the compartments of the aircraft carrier. In particular, water filled the engine room, which led to the failure of the power supply system of the power plant. In addition, several transformers burned down, providing power to several systems at once, including the ship's life support system.

According to some reports, the fire extinguishing system worked due to an increase in temperature in the engine room, which was originally associated with overheating of the power plant. The reasons for this overheating have not yet been reported.

The United Kingdom Navy notes that they cannot yet say exactly how long the repairs will be carried out. At the same time, it was noted that many elements of electrical equipment will have to be changed after exposure to water.

Preliminary estimates of the cost of repairs are at least $ 120 million.

The exercise, during which it was planned to work out the take-off and landing of the fifth generation F-35 American fighters, had to be postponed indefinitely.

The published footage shows the amount of water that was in the inner compartments of the Prince of Wales.

Hmm, once Great Britain finally lost its status of a "sea power" - it landed. But if they call the ship a Siberian Baron, it will be something, but ...

[evgen1221]

And what landed then? We can safely say that in 2-3 years it will be in service. This is not to torment poor little animal Kuzya. And it can also be argued that the fire-fighting system worked normally, but in the machine room there are a lot of things and often go crazy if you drive at full speed for a long time.

[El Chuvachino]

Since when is the spontaneous operation of the fire extinguishing system in the absence of a fire normal?

[evgen1221]

Not in the absence - but in the temperature rise in the engine room.

[Vol4ara]

Quote: evgen1221

Not in the absence - but in the temperature rise in the engine room.

That is, if during a military campaign, if the engine overheats, the engine will flood, the electrics will burn out, the ship will lose speed and dangle like a g in an ice hole, do you think this is normal and normal? And what will happen if a PKR arrives at him, he drowns himself or what? As I understand it, the automation there is so advanced that when the transformers are flooded by your own fire extinguishing system, it considers it above its dignity to de-energize them and switch to reserve.

It is generally strange that a water fire extinguishing system worked in the ship's MO, and even for such a long time.

[tovarich-andrey.62goncharov]

Above 70 Celsius? But these are the English! And in general everything is better there ...

[Galleon]

I think there is no reason to call this actuation of the fire extinguishing system spontaneous. As the heat sensors were set up, the system worked. Another thing is that when setting up they were guided by some document that did not provide for overheating in the engine-boiler room, which, as I understood, was a feature of this ship. It is necessary to work on overheating, this is a constructive mistake. And the flooded equipment is only a consequence.

[El Chuvachino]

This is an explanation, but in fact the system, in the absence of a fire, worked falsely.

[Galleon]

Eh, you do not understand. It did not work falsely. If you want, the detection threshold was underestimated and did not take into account the actual operating conditions. Here's another example for you: the failure of the cold machine, which supplies conditioned air to the compartment for the watch. The temperature rises by several degrees - and the fire extinguishing is triggered. The response threshold must be made higher. And above it is impossible - documents are not allowed. According to the documents, we have sprinklers in buildings with flasks at 57 degrees, and there are flasks en masse at 68 degrees and the Ministry of Emergency Situations accepts this. Realizes that 57 is too little for life. Under the ceiling of a solarium, for example, there may be emissions of warm air by more than 57 degrees. And according to your reasoning, it is necessary to put open flame detectors so that the actuation is sure. But most fires are heat and smoke; open flames appear much later. Subtleties and nuances - and the output of the power plant from its temperature regime stuck into them.

[Terran]

About flasks. It seems to me that you are confusing water mist fire extinguishing systems (TRV) on ships. Sprinkler (with a self-destructing bulb from temperature) is installed only in living quarters and corridors... The sprinkler system can be a separate or integral part (with a single pumping unit) for local fire extinguishing of the TRV of engine rooms (it is "deluge" or "water spraying"). But in the engine rooms, water is launched to the sprayers from the mainline by opening the e / m valves on a signal from the fire sensors (the fire alarm is separate from the general ship alarm) precisely because the conditions are completely different. And, by the way, for the local system (MO), it is the flame and / or smoke detectors that are recommended, and not the temperature.
Judging by the flooding footage, I strongly doubt that it originated from the local expansion valve system - its water consumption is too low, and such that the pumps for draining the bilge wells of the machine rooms in the machine completely cope with it. Yes, and in ordinary water fire extinguishing, nothing like this can happen because of the "electrics-electronics". To flood the MO is either deliberately stoking with the main water fire pumps, or mechanical damage to the pipe / bottom-outboard fittings ... IMHO

[Terran]

Still wondering which engine rooms were flooded? In any case, this is a complete "Pe" that the turbines, that the generators, that the rowing electric motors .. this will require taking them out of the hull with all the attendant pleasures on the built ship)) I do not say if they also have, like us moved away from the "remnants of the past" with hermetic termination of the cores of the main cables when connected - the cables pump seawater with a capillary effect and there will be an ass with insulation resistance (as well as further internal latent corrosion). Replacing all relevant trunk cable routes will cost no less than replacing equipment.

Here is another example:

I agree.

[El Chuvachino]

You didn't hear me, let's go again. Was there a fire? Based on the available data, no, but the system worked... Should it have worked on the fact of the situation? Apparently not. Why it worked in the absence of a fire is the tenth thing, because there can be many reasons. Here there may be a malfunction of the sensors, and the human factor in the form of incorrect settings or unaccounted for features of real operating conditions. Neither I nor you know this. You are right that the system could work exactly as it was prescribed, taking into account that very low threshold, but this does not negate the very fact of the emergency that has arisen. Somewhere at a certain point, the system (I'm not just talking about the fire extinguishing automation itself) malfunctioned. In no case can this whole situation be called standard.

[Galleon]

I agree with this statement of the question , except for one thing - it should have worked when the temperature threshold was exceeded - it worked. And for what reason the temperature has increased - the device is not interested. And whether the emergency situation has become as a result of its work, or vice versa, has returned to the regular one - there are no such information channels in that hardware. There should be no complaints about fire extinguishing automation - there should be complaints about engineers and designers.

[sharp-lad]

it should have triggered when the temperature threshold was exceeded - it did.
Resolve the question! Should the fire extinguishing system go off? At least in manual mode, after inspection by the crew and a statement of the absence of ignition. Or extinguish the fire until the ship is completely flooded?

[Galleon]

Quote: sharp-lad

And the fire extinguishing system must be turned offьXia?

Do you know where the controls for the fire extinguishing system are located on this project? I will assume that the shutoff valves next to the pumps are deep below the waterline. On-off, in theory, should be in the PEZH. As in fact, the factory workers and crew members, the mechanical officers.

[sharp-lad]

I do not know either! But the designers and responsible crew members were obliged to know everything and act accordingly. After what he saw, one of two things can be assumed: either the designers themselves did not know what they were designing, or the ship's crew began to get acquainted with the ship and its systems only after going out to sea.

[sharp-lad]

When I had an object with an automated fire-extinguishing system, I immediately found out where the shut-off valves and the switch of the pumps of this system are located.

[Boa kaa]

Quote: Galleon

The temperature rises by several degrees - and the fire extinguishing is triggered.

Nope. The irrigation system works - the shroud. If the gradient is increasing, then fire extinguishing. If this does not help, then flooding. The cellars are arranged this way. And then there are inhibitor systems that vulgarly squeeze air from the combustion surface. Remember the glowing banners at the door: Leave the compartment. GAS.

Quote: Galleon

most fires are heat and smoke, open flames appear much later.

Fire = uncontrolled burning! Spread of flame, not heat and smoke. These are phenomena accompanying a fire.

Quote: Galleon

Subtleties and nuances - and the output of the power plant from its temperature regime stuck into them.

Yeah. And the mechanical engineer on duty ate a moth! And it became impossible for him to turn the toggle switch in order to stop the water supply to the PZhS in time! I waited for the water to rise under the ceiling! Gentlemen they are, they are persistent and seasoned! Until the flame begins to lick the heels, they will not budge !!!

[Marconi41]

On our ships, in any compartment, there are people who will unequivocally warn the engineer of the watch about an emergency situation. Turning off the pumps in the CPU is a matter of seconds.

There is no fire, but the ship is flooded with water)))
And the news is great.

[Galleon]

Yes, a person runs into the alarm for nothing. And she worked her way, as it was established )) Man is to blame, not automation. But during disassembly, everyone will be out of business, the watchman will be the last .

[figwam]

Quote: Galleon

And she worked her way

The sensors have triggered falsely, and let the English court decide who is to blame.

[Galleon]

If the sensors had triggered at + 20C, they would have triggered falsely. If they worked on the threshold that was set in them, they worked correctly. It is not necessary to approach the field of physics with lyric reasoning. We argue about an elementary thing. It's like taking offense for falling into a puddle that froze over in winter.

Yes, yes ... of course, they, the light elves, always have everything regular. Khovno filled the engine room from the latrine - this was the intention of the British sailors (together with British scientists ), the ship's equipment was out of order for 100 million greens, so it was conceived during the exercises (how else is it? wars of light are always right !!!?). Even if the ship sank, then you and your sect of kissing the dupa of the Anglo-Saxon nation would certainly shout that the ship sank according to plan, because thought he was a yellow submarine ... So, keep up the good work - shit on Morder, and kiss the noble one ... Just do not overdo it, so as not to earn a callous! SUGS !!! Smirt the curds!

Will be. The only fact is that Britain has not built large ships for a long time and has clearly lost the ability to do this. The fact that the crew could not shut down the fire extinguishing system is absurd. The fact that the banal flooding of the compartment led to the general failure of the generators with the shutdown of the life support system is an enchanting absurdity. These are simply unacceptable things on a warship, and the fact that the British stumble on this is evidence of the extremely low culture of ship design and construction.

[TermNachTer]

This is no longer a low design culture, it is already its absence. If there was a combat situation?)))

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Yes there would be Prince of Wells, part two. You will still laugh, but the battleship of the same name went down during the Second World War for similar reasons.
He received a torpedo hit, bending the shaft, which, while spinning, provided a leak. In theory, the machine was supposed to be purple (by design), but as a result of non-fatal flooding on the ship, the electricity was completely cut off, so that all the long and medium air defense was cut off. The Japanese didn't sleep ...

[donavi49]

Well, in general, 2 news passed simultaneously. One warhead 5 slept through the flood on their farm, apparently hung in TikTok. According to another, the FSO and the FSB slept through the looting of the doomsday plane. And now the robbers are very actively looking for, with the involvement of all possible forces and means + Moscow business travelers from the central office. However, the very fact:

Back on Friday, December 4, the head of the aviation security service of JSC "Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex (TANTK) named after G.M. Beriev ", where the" doomsday plane "Il-80 VZPU flew for scheduled work, turned to the police, informing that during the inspection in the early morning of the aircraft, traces of opening the cargo hatch were found.

Later, experts calculated the damage from the visit of the thieves; they were stolen from the air control center 39 blocks of various communication equipment and five more boards from five of the same dismantled blocks.

What exactly was stolen is not named, but there is reason to believe that it could have been stolen communication equipment - radio transmitting and receiving devices, equipment for classifying speech information, encryption devices.

"Maintenance Engineer of the aircraft said that the TANTK was replacing the lubricant on the rods of the shock absorber landing gear. According to him, all on-board instruments were in place at the time of acceptance of the aircraft.... After the completion of the work, the main entrance, cargo compartment hatch, three emergency exits were sealed.


In general, they flew in for a lubrication / tire fitting, and flew away naked and without equipment (including secret).

[Kart]

In general, why is it here?
To shout again that everything is bad with us?
So this is not true.

[donavi49]

No, that the two fakapas passed simultaneously. Some hung in a tick-tock and slept as water leaked into the engine room from the mains. Others got carried away with solving crosswords or Dark Fantasy and overslept as they had a letter board on a small TO.

Moreover, both events took place simultaneously. Aki Bond and Bashirov received a command to act in one day

As usual, our sailor is unusually curious and extremely playful. Running along the corridor of the only aircraft carrier in Russia, he thoughtlessly poked a button on a pretty unsealed device with his dirty finger and a nibbled fingernail, and hearing a loud pop and the sound of pouring water behind the bulkhead, joyfully jumped and rushed into the bread slicer to steal butter. What does it matter to him that within a few seconds he incapacitated immediately more than a hundred of the best air-to-air anti-aircraft missiles in the world, for each of which the once fraternal Ukraine is fighting over more than one hundred thousand dollars with us according to the best world standards.

There, theoretically, the non-combustible plastic of the interior finish played its role (they got rid of light lime alloys for "type 42", but they forgot about the plastic). In a real fire, it still turned out to be combustible, and with the release of a large amount of pungent black smoke. As a result, the emergency parties of other ships that came to the rescue simply could not enter the Sheffield - due to zero visibility and the impossibility of orientation.
And the main reason was still an extremely successful missile hit, which managed to interrupt the fire main and disable two of the three serviceable pumps (the third, however, did not work for long and also died without raising the pressure to normal, and the fourth at the time of the hit already did not work). As a result, the Sheffield team had only portable pumps and fire extinguishers left for the BZZ.

Yes, everyone has accidents. But the temperature rise in MO. 10 degrees? Rave.

the fire extinguishing system worked due to an increase in temperature in the engine room, which was initially associated with overheating of the power plant

Does the overheated installation need to be watered?

[tarabar]

We urgently need to apply Ukrainian know-how, weld this vessel with rails to the pier, otherwise the Prince of Selsky will drown right at the quay wall and again we will remain guilty. Petrov and Boshirov are not asleep.

[Igor Borisov_2]

Well, at least they honestly publish footage of the accident, unlike about us ...

And after all, the smoke from the Prince's chimney is not black like Kuzi's, but hey, you didn't save it.

Once we installed a fire extinguishing system from a leading European manufacturer at the facility of one very serious department. The object was a newly built structure. As it happens in newly built structures, water from the roof found a path to one of the boards that control the gas fire extinguishing section. The motherboard of the leading manufacturer was not even varnished, but that would be nothing.
The system is decentralized (unlike most of ours), these boards are installed directly near the protected section, and do not have a single redundant circuit or the ability to shutdown in case of failure. This is by design.
In general, for the happiness of the duty shift, I, at my own peril and risk, ordered not to connect the control of one of the doors to the system. I really didn't like such a non-alternative system, despite all its show-off. If not for this door, the entire shift of operators would have remained there. It was impossible to breathe the fire-fighting mixture ...
Economy and frugality in Western management systems have long gone into madness. This is evidenced by such cases, which are occurring more and more often. I suppose the guys tried to turn off the extinguishing, but so far they found a way to do it ... Or maybe they did not find it. It is quite possible (based on the Western training system) that the pumps drove outboard water until their engines flooded themselves.

[tralflot1832]

It's good that you, as a specialist, stayed with us. And it takes a lot of courage to go against the system!

[Mikhail3]

Thanks. Health is needed. Since they thanked me (the change was so very grateful), but I earned a black mark. Breaking the project without making changes. It was impossible to make changes, our ingenious standards, too, now, as in the West, do not provide for emergency situations. The doors should be locked, and that's it.

Just the other day, the British complained that the "armada" of Russian warships was snooping along the coast of the great (once) Britain. It was from the heat of passion that the fire extinguishing system on the British aircraft carrier worked. Everything is natural - don't dig a hole for another ...

"Break down!". "Get in line!" - these are the Command Rule commands.
According to the standard "Reliability in technology" (why "in technology?"), A technical object (an object of technology) can be in the following states: serviceable, faulty, efficient, inoperative, limiting.
An object of technology does not "stand", and therefore cannot "fail", be out of order of objects of technology.

[APASUS]

Normally, they pushed everything to the breakdown of the fire extinguishing system, and then the engine overheats and it went off. There are not one or even two critical problems

There is such a suspicion. Although the Rolls-Royce turbines are very good for themselves, apparently there is a hole in the old woman. Otherwise, the automation would not have worked ... Perhaps a massive fire in the Moscow region was warned. But why the water supply did not stop on time - that is, a question for experts!
I have only one question:
and that there is no duplication of systems? The watch in the PEZH (CPU) is not carried at all? And if it rushes, then what is the level of training of mechanical engineers who are not able to turn off the fire extinguishing system or, at worst, open the water bypass valve to the lower decks, to the hold, finally!
In short, unanswered questions ...

Is there more likely a valve with an electric drive, there are simply no duplicate mechanical systems? Although there may simply not be a competent specialist who knows the entire pipeline system.

In any case, this is a complete "Pe" that turbines, that generators, that propeller electric motors .. this will require removing them from the hull with all the attendant pleasures on the built ship))

A bit simpler. Rinse with distilled water, then with alcohol, then dry with heat guns with wind turbines. They will measure the insulation resistance if everything is normal - they will accept it. If not, the procedure is repeated until the parameters are driven back to normal.

Quote: Terran

the cables are pumped by the capillary effect of seawater and there will be an asshole with insulation resistance (as well as further internal hidden corrosion). Replacing all relevant trunk cable routes will cost no less than replacing equipment.

Nope. The irrigation system works - the shroud. If the gradient is increasing, then fire extinguishing. If this does not help, then flooding. The cellars are arranged this way.

It was simpler in our AK-130 artillery cellars - drenchers for fire extinguishing and forced flooding of the cellar: an electromagnetic valve, there is almost half a ton of water per second. I remember the inhibitor system was in the missile cellars.

Fire = uncontrolled burning! Spread of flame, not heat and smoke. These are phenomena accompanying a fire.

It depends on what and how it burns. Not many materials start to burn with a flame. and the first damaging factor of the fire - smoke (especially from burning synthetics) and carbon monoxide, there are always fewer burned ones - I repeat, with rare exceptions. So they teach in courses on a minimum.

Quote: Boa constrictor KAA

Yeah. And the mechanical engineer on duty ate a moth! And it became impossible for him to turn the toggle switch in order to stop the water supply to the PZhS in time! I waited for the water to rise under the ceiling! Gentlemen they are, they are persistent and seasoned! Until the flame begins to lick the heels, they will not budge !!!

But this is already a mystery to me, and I am not going to justify the gentlemen. I did not write about the human factor - I was scratched by the incorrect phrase "false positive".
