The air supply of a covered lifeboat is not intended to pressurize the water spray system. The air supply serves to prevent smoke and other noxious fumes from entering the craft (A), provide air for engine combustion (B), and supply air for passenger respiration (D). The water spray system is typically pressurized by a separate system, such as a manual or powered pump, and does not rely on the lifeboat's air supply.
