Question 88Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhich of the listed devices is most likely to be installed on a large modern diesel- electric alternating current propulsion generator for commercial ship propulsion for the purposes of fire suppression?
AA CO2 fire extinguishing system.
BA Halon fire extinguishing system.
CA dry chemical fire extinguishing system.
DA foam fire extinguishing system.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A CO2 fire extinguishing system. CO2 fire extinguishing systems are the most likely to be installed on large modern diesel-electric alternating current propulsion generators for commercial ship propulsion, as they are highly effective at suppressing fires in enclosed spaces like engine rooms. CO2 systems work by displacing oxygen, which is necessary for combustion, making them well-suited for extinguishing fires in machinery spaces. The other options, such as Halon, dry chemical, or foam systems, are less commonly used for this specific application on commercial ships.
