For internal combustion machinery, typical protected areas
are hot surfaces such as exhaust pipes without insulation, or with
insulation fitted in accordance with SOLAS regulation II-2/4.2.2.6.1 that
is likely to be removed frequently for maintenance, and high-pressure
fuel oil systems installed near hot surfaces. For typical diesel engines,
such areas would include the area on top of the engine, the fuel injection
pumps and turbo chargers, unless the fuel injection pumps are installed
in a sheltered location beneath the steel platform.
For boiler fronts and oil-fired inert gas generators, typical
protected areas are hot surfaces around the burners without insulation,
or with insulation fitted in accordance with SOLAS regulation II-2/4.2.2.6.1 that
is likely to be removed frequently for maintenance. Boiler fronts
should be interpreted as the boiler burner location irrespective of
the boiler design.
For incinerators, typical protected areas are hot surfaces
around the burners without insulation, or with insulation fitted in
accordance with SOLAS regulation
II-2/4.2.2.6.1 that is likely to be removed frequently for
maintenance.
