[0002] The fixed fire monitor fire extinguishing system is mainly used to protect the container stack area on the deck of container ships. It uses seawater as the fire extinguishing medium and has the characteristics of long range and flexible operation. It sprays water to reduce the temperature of the fire source or directly extinguish the fire to prevent the fire from spreading. The system consists of fixed fire monitors, ballast water pumps, booster pumps, pipe systems, remote control valves, pump starters, main control boxes, remote control panels, etc. Fixed fire monitors must be installed in the bow and stern areas of the ship at a position higher than the container stack, usually on the compass deck and bow mast. Crew members can operate the fixed fire monitors to extinguish fires through local operation stations and remote control operation stations.

[0003] The specific operation process of fixed fire water monitor is as follows:

[0004] First, switch the ballast water pump from ballast mode to fire mode, and transfer the seawater in the seawater main to the booster pump through the ballast water pump. At the same time, open the remote control valves before and after the booster pump and in front of the fixed fire water monitor, and confirm whether the water pressure on the fire water pipeline is normal. Secondly, send a booster pump overload inquiry signal. After receiving the booster pump start signal, start the booster pump. The seawater in the fire water pipeline is pressurized by the booster pump and then transferred to the fixed fire water monitor to ensure that the highest container on the deck is within the effective range of the fixed fire water monitor.
