Separator spaces

Separator spaces
E.10.1 Where fuel oil purifiers for heated fuel oil are installed in a separate enclosed space an independent
mechanical ventilation system (supply and exhaust air) is to be provided. This ventilation system
shall be so arranged that gas/air mixtures or vapours cannot enter into other parts of the engine room. A
ventilation system ensuring equivalent separation from the engine room ventilation system, e.g. by means
of locally controlled fire closures, may be accepted. For the height of ventilation openings E.5.3 is to be
observed.
E.10.2 Where fuel oil purifiers for heated fuel oil are installed in a space open to the engine room a
mechanical exhaust ventilation system is to be provided ensuring that gas/air mixtures or vapours cannot
enter into other parts of the engine room.
