Description
The package is normally delivered with an API610 BB2 pump, with a dry mounted electrical motor. The motor is driven by power generated by a dedicated generator set. Normal system voltage is 6,6 kV, other voltages available on request. The generator set comprises of a diesel engine mounted on vibration dampers and an alternator mounted on a common base frame together with auxiliaries.
Explore Our Generator Set Configuration
Cooling water for diesel engines and generator is provided from the fire water pump, fed to the genset through a Sea Water Harness loop to ensure correct pressure and flow. The seawater harness is fitted with t-strainers to protect the plate heat exchangers from water-transported contaminations.
Heat exchangers for jacket water, turbo after cooler and fuel return are installed on skid.
A Jacket Water heater and circulation pump will keep the diesel engine warm during stand still to give an easy start up. Further, an electric lubrication pump will operate before test starts and after each shutdown in order to reduce wear and tear for the engine.
The engine start system can be either electric (24VDC), pneumatic or hydraulic and shall have a primary and backup function. The most common solution is a dual electric start system with either pneumatic or hydraulic backup.
The genset is equipped with a fuel tank designed to support operation for 12, 18, or 24 hours, or according to project-specific needs.
A local control panel (LCP) will monitor and control the whole system. The LCP is completed with required instrumentation and control system either as an independent package or fully integrated into the Safety and Automation System (SAS). An easy-to-use touch panel is mounted in front of the LCP for local operation and monitoring
The system offers two operational modes: test mode and fire mode. In test mode, multiple alarms will cause the engine to stop, while in fire mode, a shutdown will only occur in the event of engine overspeed or a short circuit in the generator output.
The generator is water cooled, also fed from the fire water pump. An electric circulation pump will circulate the water through the generator heat exchanger in order to maintain the operating temperature within limits.
The diesel electric fire water pump system gives flexible installation as the genset can be installed remote from the pump thus located in safe area while the motor/pump can be located in hazardous area if required. The system is designed to comply with the latest edition of NFPA20 with easy access to all maintenance areas. All units will be full load tested prior to delivery at Eureka’s state of the art test center.
