CFD simulations run byRobert Allan Ltd validate the style rate of 20 knots is possible
The Khulna Shipyard in Bangladesh is developing 2Robert Allan Ltd developed fireboats. They are unfinished for the Bangladesh Navy, which makes use of the old-style term “fire floats” to define them. There is, nonetheless, absolutely nothing whatsoever old design regarding these reducing side 18.9 m x 5.3 m vessels.
Designed for river solution, they will certainly include an unique difficult chine semi-displacement hull itted with twin open design skegs for particles security.
The all light weight aluminum hulls will certainly be powered by 2 560 kW 6135SFM85 John Deere primary engines for a rate of 20 knots. Reduction equipments will certainly be Reintjes WAF 244 with 2.5:1 decrease proportion driving stainless-steel shafts and also bronze props. The engines are quickly eliminated from vessel through matching hatches in primary deck and also above internal top.
Self- thrust CFD simulations run byRobert Allan Ltd validate the style rate of 20 knots is possible.
A solitary Westerbeke 23.0 EGED generator offers electric power.
Two 2,000 liter/minute fire pumps will certainly be fitted, each driven by a 55 kW Iveco diesel motor. The pumps lie reduced in the watercraft so priming systems are not called for. Two 2,000 liter/minute fire displays lie on the residence top within sight of the drivers in the pilothouse.
Foam concentrate capability is 500 litres and also 6 hydrants lie fore and also aft on the primary deck.
Most of the lodgings get on primary deck degree consisting of a police officer’s cabin with affixed WC, galley, mess, and also seating for 12 fireman in a cool deckhouse. Overnight berths for 6 individuals lie in the forecastle. The joiner job makes use of light weight aluminum honeycomb panelling to minimize weight.
