Abstract

This article discusses the ways of improving the effectiveness of putting out onboard fires. The main aim of the research is substantiation and selection of the tools aimed at firefighting procedures optimization through the application of the least expensive way to modernize existing onboard firefighting. Decreasing of oxygen concentration in an airtight ship compartment is one of the perspective ways of firefighting activities optimization. That is achieved by aligning the in-compartmental pressure to an atmospheric pressure and rarefying the in-compartmental media with inertial gases with the aid of nitrogen firefighting systems membrane mechanisms. Nitrogen is a low-expensive, chemically neutral and toxically safe inert gas which can be used to put out equipment under voltage causing a minimal damage to material. All these advantages make nitrogen ideal firefighting media. Optimization of the existing firefighting system by the use of nitrogen extinguishers (which enable not only put out a fire but also prevent material from possible ignitions) and membrane mechanisms (which provide for nitrogen in firefighting systems) will ensure the equipping of the Ukrainian Navy with modern and highly effective firefighting instrument
