12. SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions supplement the specific Warnings and Cautions throughout this manual. These general precautions are related to the JHSV HEF System. They are precautions that must be understood and applied before and during work on the system.
DANGER, WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS
DANGER, WARNING, AND CAUTION statements have been strategically placed throughout this text prior to operating or maintenance procedures, practices or conditions considered essential to the protection of personnel (WARNING) or equipment and property (CAUTION). A DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION will apply each time the related text is repeated. Prior to starting any task, the DANGERS, WARNINGS, or CAUTIONS included in the text for that task will be reviewed and understood. Refer to the materials list figure at the beginning of the appropriate manual section for material used during maintenance of this equipment. The detailed warnings for hazardous material only are listed separately in the safety summary as the "Hazardous Materials Warnings" section.
General Safety Precautions The hazards identified with the operation of HEF system include:
- Rotating and moving machinery hazards
- Electrical, hydraulic, or other power source hazards
- Test equipment
- Eye hazardous areas and operations
- Hazardous materials and hazardous waste
- Heat or chemical burn hazards
- Corrosion control
- Do not repair or adjust alone.
- First Aid
Rotating and Moving Machinery Hazards The majority of machinery plant systems have moving parts. Moving parts create the possibility of personnel injury. Personnel must observe the safety precautions and adher e to the standard operating procedures that are applicable to machinery plant systems.
Failure to observe proper safety precautions during machinery plant system alignment, operation, and securing may endanger personnel as well as equipment. Only those personnel who have been properly instructed, qualified, and officially designated should be per mitted to perform the alignment, operation, and s ecuring of machinery plant systems. They must become thoroughly familiar with the safety precautions set forth in this manual, equipment operating procedures, maintenance procedures, and manufacturer’s technical manuals.
Sources of danger most usually encountered during the alignment, operation, and securing of the main propulsion plant, propulsion auxiliaries, and independent auxiliaries include:
- Non-compliance with equipment tag-out procedures
- Operation of machinery and equipment by unauthorized/unqualified personnel
- Personnel not wearing the required protective equipment
- Protective covers, guards, or plates removed from equipment
- Improper use of flammable liquids as cleaning solutions
When aligning, operating, or securing specific systems consult the applicable manufacturer’s technical manuals for complete safety precautions.
Electrical Hazards Electric shock is a v ery real hazard. T he combinations of high humidity, metal structures, high voltage electricity, and perspiration ensure that the potential for an electrical hazard in machinery plant spaces continually exists. Electrical safety is the responsibility of all hands. Personnel must adhere to the vessel’s electrical safety program to prevent mishaps that could cause fatal injuries and extensive damage to shipboard equipment and may compromise the vessel’s mission capabilities. Under no circumstances should any person reach into or enter an electric enclosure for the purpose of servicing or adjusting the equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.
TM6
Compressed Air Precautions Compressed air can be us eful, but it can be danger ous if not used properly. Most shop air is under high pressures often exceeding 100 p.s.i. A blast of air under only 40 p.s.i. from four inches away can rupture an ear drum or cause a br ain hemorrhage. As little as 12 p. s.i. can “pop” an eyeball from its socket. Air can enter the navel, even through a layer of clothing, and inflate and rupture the intestines. And there are reports that compressed air under 80 p.s.i. struck a small hand wound and i nflated the arm, causing shooting pains from the fingers to the shoulder.
Compressed air can cause bubbles of air in the blood stream. One authority estimates that as little as 4 p. s.i. can rupture the bowel. Directed at the mouth, it can rupture the lungs and intestines. It can be dangerous to use compressed air to blow dust or dirt off clothing or body parts. Horseplay is never funny when it causes an accident, and fooling around with compressed air can be lethal.
The following guidelines can help reduce the risk of injury when using compressed air:
- Examine all hoses, connections, and equipment to see that they are in good condition before turning the pressure on.
- Never point an air hose at any part of your body or at any other person. No horseplay with the air hose.
- Never kink the hose to stop the air flow – turn it off at the control valve.
- When using compressed air for cleaning, make sure the pressure is no higher than 30 p.s.i.
- Always wear eye protection when using compressed air.
- Before using compressed air, make sure that dirt will not be blown onto other workers in the area. Only the user should be in the vicinity.
- Turn off the valve on both the tools and the air line when the job is finished.
- Remember, failure to follow safety procedures properly or to pay attention to workplace safety could result in injury to you and your fellow workers.
Hydraulic System Hazards
- Hydraulic systems store fluid under high pressure.
- Three kinds of hazards exist: burns from the hot, high pressure spray of fluid; bruises, cuts or abrasions from flailing hydraulic lines; and injection of fluid into the skin.
- Safe hydraulic system performance requires general maintenance.
- Proper coupling of high and low pressure hydraulic components and pressure relief valves are important safety measures.
Hydraulic systems are popular because they reduce the need f or complex mechanical linkages and allow remote control of numerous operations. Hydraulic systems are used to lift heavy loads;
to change the position of implement components; to operate remote hydraulic motors; and to assist steering and braking. Hydraulic systems store fluid under high pressure, typically 2,000 psi or more. One hazard is removing or adjusting components without releasing the pressure. The fluid, under tremendous pressure, is also hot. To work on the system safely, relieve the pressure first.
Test Equipment Ensure test equipment is operating correctly. Z ero hydraulic pressure before removing any hydraulic lines for testing. Remove fittings slowly and bleed any residual pressure from lines or components if necessary. Ensure hydraulic test equipment connections are secure before pressurizing the system.
Eye-Hazardous Areas and Operations Policy requires that personnel working in eye-hazardous areas or operations wear adequate eye protection. Machinery plant personnel must wear eye protection when performing eye-hazardous operations such as:
- Pouring or handling acids or corrosive liquids and solids
- Blowing down equipment and/or components with compressed air
- Using high pressure washers
- Cutting, drilling, grinding, milling, or chipping operations
- Dust and particle producing operations
Any personnel in the immediate vicinity of such operations, including visitors, shall also wear eye protection.
The Medical Office has a f ixed eyewash station for flushing debris or fluids. P ortable eyewash stations are located in eye hazardous areas.
TM7
Hazardous Materials warnings In order to attain and maintain operational effectiveness, machinery plant systems require specified types and quant ities of hazardous materials and, as a r esult, accumulate hazardous waste. To prevent injury to personnel, damage to equipment, or harm to the environment, Great care must be taken in handling, using, and storing, and disposal of hazardous materials, and in preventing the accumulation of hazardous waste. Risks associated with hazardous materials are greater on board a vessel than on shore because of the limited number, confined nature, and at sea environment of shipboard spaces.
Hazardous Materials Hazardous materials are any material that, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics, may pose a s ubstantial hazard to human health or the environment when purposely, accidentally released or spilled. Subcategories of hazardous materials include:
- Flammable/combustible materials
- Toxic materials
- Corrosive materials (including acids and bases)
- Oxidizing materials
- Compressed gases
Hazardous Waste Hazardous waste is any discarded material (liquid, solid, or gas) which meets the above definition of hazardous material and/or is designated as a hazardous waste by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To minimize hazardous conditions, machinery plant personnel must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Hazardous materials removed from storage for use must be r eturned to storage upon completion of use, or at the end of the work day, whichever is earlier.
- Follow the instructions provided for the proper use of hazardous materials.
- Collect and segregate any waste resulting from the use of hazardous material, or any other waste designated as hazardous waste, for proper disposal in accordance with the cutter’s hazardous material and hazardous waste material handling program.
- Report any spills of hazardous materials/hazardous waste to the Officer of the Deck (OOD) and the Engineer Officer.
Burn Hazards Personnel are exposed to burn hazards when working or coming into contact with equipment, components, or systems that generate excessive heat loads during operation, or when fuel-fired systems are used to accomplish a specific purpose. Personnel should refrain from servicing or adjusting the following equipment, systems, and t heir related components when they are in operation:
- Main diesel engines
- Auxiliary / emergency diesel generator
- Electric motors
- Air compressors
- Hydraulic system
Thermal shields must be kept in good condition and secured in place to afford personnel protection from burn hazards. Special caution should be taken to prevent serious burns or injury if equipment has been running and exposed components, internal fluids, or piping is still hot.
Extreme care must be exercised before attempting to service overheated equipment or systems.
Under no circumstances should personnel attempt to remove pressure caps, manually lift relief valves, or disconnect components or fittings of equipment that is overheated. When an overheated condition occurs, all unnecessary personnel must clear the surrounding area.
Personnel assigned to handle the casualty must wear the proper protective equipment before proceeding with casualty control measures.
Prior to performing any preventive or corrective maintenance procedure on a system containing pressurized hot liquid, the system must be tagged “Out of Service,” isolated, vented and allowed to cool. P ersonnel must be al ert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system suspected of being pressurized.
TM8
Corrosion Control Physical and chemical processes that may require the use of chemicals, solvents, paints, or other commercially available material. The user of this publication should obtain the material safety data sheets (Occupational Safety and H ealth Act (OSHA) Form 20 or equivalent) from the manufacturers or suppliers of materials to be used. The user must become completely familiar with the manufacturer/supplier information and adhere to the procedures, recommendations, warnings and c autions of the manufacturer/supplier for the safe use, handling, storage, and disposal of these materials. The following are general safety precautions and i nstruction that people must understand and apply during many phases of operation and maintenance to ensure personal safety and health and the protection of DOD property. Portions of this may be repeated elsewhere in this publication for emphasis.
Do Not Repair or Adjust Alone Do not repair or adjust energized equipment alone. The presence of a qualified individual capable of rendering 1st aid/CPR is required. Always protect against grounding hazards and make adjustments with one hand free and clear of equipment. Be aware that even after equipment has been de-energized, dangerous electrical hazards can exist due t o capacitors retaining electrical charges. Circuits shall be grounded and capacitors discharged.
First Aid Attend to all injuries, however slight, by obtaining first aid or medical attention immediately.
TM9
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety notices are listed throughout this manual. These notices are in the form of warnings and cautions. They are recommended precautions that must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered herein. Should situations arise that are not covered in the general or specific safety precautions, the local authority will issue orders as deemed necessary to cover the situation.
W arnings and cautions appear in the text. A warning addresses a situation or procedure that may involve a haz ard to personnel. Cautions address a pr ocedure that may involve a haz ard to equipment.
1.1.1 Specific Warnings and Cautions
The following sections contain warnings and c autions that are specific to the procedures in this manual. Read and understand all applicable warnings and cautions before performing an operational procedure. The definitions of a warning and a caution are:
WARNING
An operating or maintenance procedure, practice, condition, or statement that, if not strictly observed, could result in injury or death of personnel.
CAUTION
An operating or maintenance procedure, practice, condition, or statement that, if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment, loss of mission effectiveness, or long-term health hazards to personnel.
The following are W ARNING and CAUTIONS are specific to this manual:
WARNING: Static HEF/seawater solution may produce toxic hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) gas in high enough concentrations to cause injury or death.
Therefore, this maintenance or any pipe rupture or leak may release H2S that has generated within the piping system. H2S is colorless and smells strongly of rotten eggs. If detected, or an unexpected HEF/seawater discharge occurs, immediately leave the area and notify proper authority. Ventilate, and monitor the space using a gas analyzer; odor becomes undetectable with continuous exposure or at high concentrations. Appropriate measures should be used to monitor for the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas when disassembling sections of the HEF piping that may contain static HEF/seawater solution.
WARNING: Avoid repeated/prolonged skin contact with hazardous materials.
Wash affected areas with soap and water upon completion of task or prior to eating, drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics.
WARNING: Consider all electrical leads to be energized until positively proven they are de-energized.
WARNING: Avoid inhalation of, ingestion of, skin contact with, and eye contact with hazardous materials. Avoid use near heat or open flame and provide adequate ventilation. Consult work center supervisor if unsure whether ventilation is adequate and if respiratory protection is necessary.
TM10
WARNING: Consider all electrical leads t be energized until positively proven they are de-energized.
WARNING: Spring loaded valve is heavily spring loaded. Ensure jacking bolts are utilized to maintain pressure on valve cover when releasing spring tension.
WARNING: Venting the diaphragm control chamber is required to remove entrapped air. Air and water will discharge when performing the venting procedure, exercise caution while loosening the vent screw.
Loosen vent screw only enough for trapped air to escape.
WARNING: Prior to entering HEF tank for cleaning, tank should be adequately ventilated and certified that atmosphere is not immediately dangerous to life or health by the Gas Free Engineer.
CAUTION: Using the Reset/Emergency Run pushbutton without clearing the fault can cause serious damage to the motor control, cables, and motor.
CAUTION: HEF should not discharge overboard within 3 nautical miles of shore or in port. Discharge should be in accordance with regulatory requirements. HEF foam should only be discharged only to a tank, barge, or authorize truck.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Chemical resistant gloves. Do not get in eyes. Wear approved chemical safety glasses or goggles where eye exposure is reasonably probable.
CAUTION: Components of the HEF may be absorbed into the body through the skin. Blood disorder may occur after ingestion. Liver toxicity.
Contact may irritate or burn eyes.
CAUTION: HEF concentrate will present a slip hazard on solid surfaces. Keep work areas clear of spills.
CAUTION: A protected area filled with discharged HEF foam solution can and will be hazardous to maneuver in. Use extreme caution as vision, navigation and communication will be impaired.
CAUTION: After an HEF/Seawater discharge the compartment reentry can be accomplished by adjusting a hand line nozzle to spray pattern and moving into the compartment to knock the HEF down into the bilge.
Take care to avoid spraying directly on electrical panels as much as possible to minimize drying time. All equipment within the space shall be inspected and verified by OEM before operating and any wet insulation needs to be replaced.

2.1 HEF SYSTEM
High Expansion Foam (HEF) is one of the most widely used fire-fighting agents. HEF is primarily used aboard ship to fight class BRAVO fires. This manual covers the operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of the Hiller HEF system. Operating and maintenance personnel must have a basic understanding of the operation of the Hiller HEF system and the function of each of the components of the system. It is an In-Line balanced pressure proportioning system for use with HEF foam concentrate. Firemain seawater is mixed with HEF concentrate to create a 2.75% HEF solution used to extinguish Class B fires (flammable liquids and gases). For more information refer to latest revision of HEF schematic 630-555-01-606.
2.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The three major components of the HEF system are:
Controller and Electrical Components HEF Pump Skid HEF Concentrate Storage Tank
Materials used to construct the items listed above are outlined in Ansul Technical Bulletin in Appendix S of this manual.
2.2.1 Controller and Electrical Components
The motor controller is mounted near the skid and is connected to the ship’s normal and emergency power supplies. The controller has indicating lights for monitoring the system, and three controls to operate the system.
2.2.2 HEF Pump Skid
The HEF skid houses several components including:
HEF Single-Speed Injection Pump HEF Pump Motor Back Pressure Regulating Valve Proportioning Assembly Check Valve Assembly Various Gate Type Cutout Valves Various Globe Type Valves Various Indicating Gauges Y-Type Strainers
2.2.3 HEF Concentrate Storage Tank
HEF concentrate is stored near the HEF skid in the HEF concentrate storage tank. The Austal manufactured tank i s rectangular in shape and is fabricated out of SS316L. The tank is fitted with a gooseneck vent, drain connection, manual fill connection w/cradle, liquid level indicator (sight glass), re-circulating line (return) connection, supply line connection, access manhole for tank maintenance. The gooseneck vent prevents excess buildup of pressure within the tank during storage and prevents a vacuum when the system is in operation. For more information pertaining to the tanks see drawing B015-46.90-630- 555-04-601.
2.2.4 HEF Containment Curtain
The HEF Containment Curtain is used in conjunction with the HEF firefighting system as a way to contain and prevent the spread of HEF outside of the Mission Bay area. For more information pertaining to the HEF Containment Curtain manual see S9555-FH-MMC-010.

3.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Hiller HEF Skid System is an In-Line Balanced Pressure Proportioning System for the use with HEF Foam Concentrate. Firemain water is mixed with HEF concentrate to create a pressurized 2.75% HEF solution that is used to extinguish Class B fires (flammable liquid gases).
The HEF system is comprised of a storage tanks, a motor controller, and a pump skid with various control and regulating valves, a motor and direct driven pum p, strainers, gauges, a check valve, an In-Line balanced pressure proportioning assembly and piping.
HEF concentrate is pumped to the proportioner as required to maintain a 2.75% solution to the rem ote service stations when needed. Excess concentrate is returned to the storage tank via a return piping system . A spool valve uses sensing lines from the seawater side and the HEF solution side to control the flow of HEF concentrate to maintain the output at a 2.75% solution. For additional information pertaining to Firemain see Damage Control Book and for IMCS see
S9436-BN-MMC-010.
3.1.1 Motor Controller
The HEF (High Expansion Foam) Motor Controller is part of the ship’s HEF system designed to provide HEF to areas where a Class B fire may be expected. The motor controller is mounted near the skid and is connected to the ship’s service and emergency 460Vac/60Hz/3ph power from the HEF Power Panel.
3.1.2 HEF Single-Speed Injection Pump and Motor
The HEF single-speed injection pump is a permanently mounted, positive displacement, gear type of pump. The pump is direct driven by a high efficiency 15 horse power electric motor via a couplng. The motor is energized with 460Vac/60Hz/3ph power supply from the motor controller. he pump capacity is 65 (±5) gpm at 200 psi discharge pressure.
The pump unit consists of a pump, motor, and direct drive via a coupling, mounted on a steel base. The pump is fitted with an external relief valve set at 193 psi, which opens to prevent damage to the pump. The motor rotates at 3450 rpm. The injection pump and the injection station piping are sized to produce a 3 percent nominal concentrate at peak dem and by injecting HEF concentrate into the seawater distribution system . HEF concentrate is supplied from the HEF storage tank.
3.1.3 Proportioning Assembly
The proportioner houses no internal m oving parts and uses the venturi principle to allow for complete mixing of HEF/seawater solution. An orifice plate controls the volume of HEF concentrate entering the proportioner. The size of the orifice is determined by the maximum demand of the fire-fighting agent placed on the system. The water-sensing line connection for the proportioner is piped directly from the proportioner body to the spool valve.
3.1.4 Y-Type Strainer
The Hiller HEF system has two strainers. One on the HEF concentrate suction line near the inlet to the pump and the other on the seawater supply line. The strainers are used to reduce the chance of the pump becoming clogged and starving the pump or stopping the flow of seawater to the control valve. The strainers must be maintained so that heavy dirt and sludge does not accumulate on the strainers.
3.1.5 1½” Spool Valve
The spool valve senses the pressure in the foam concentrate and water lines and automatically adjusts the concentrate flow to the proportioner.
3.1.6 1½” Manual Foam Balancing Valve
The manual foam balancing valve on the IBP provides a backup means to adjust the concentrate pressure to balance the seawater pressure. Both pressures are indicated by the duplex gauge.
TM13
3.1.7 Morin Double Acting Actuator
Double acting actuator valves control the flow of foam to the spool valve on the IBP. The actuator opens upon detection of water flow in the system distribution pipe after the sea water begins to flow.
3.1.8 Jet-X 2³/4% Foam
Jet-X 2³/4% high expansion foam concentrate is a synthetic-based formulation comprised of hydrocarbon surfactants, solvents, and stabilizers for use with high expansion foam generators. It is transported and stored as a concentrate that can be used to produce 200:1 to 1000:1 expansion ratio.
3.1.9 Motor Operated Valves (MOV) (JHSV 2 ONLY)
The HEF system is provided with MOV’s in support the HEF system. See S6435-2L-MMC- 010 for additional information.
3.1.10 Pneumatically Operated Valves (POV) (JHSV 1, 3 and Follow).
The HEF system is provided with POV’s in support of the HEF system. See S6435-ZM- MMC-010 for additional information.
