On offshore drilling units fitted with fixed CO2 systems, the system must discharge at least 85 percent of the required amount of CO2 within _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 minutes.
The U.S. Coast Guard regulations require that fixed CO2 fire extinguishing systems on offshore drilling units must discharge at least 85% of the required amount of CO2 within 2 minutes. This is specified in 46 CFR 108.431, which outlines the requirements for fixed fire extinguishing systems on mobile offshore drilling units.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 1 minute is too short, 3 minutes is too long, and 4 minutes is also too long for the required CO2 discharge time.
