Ventilation
The sonar room should preferably be connected to the ship’s
ventilation system. If this is not possible, two 3- inch vent pipes
must be laid from the sonar room to free air on deck. The air inlet
should be close to the floor, while the outlet should be placed as
high aspossible. Funnels shouldbe mounted belowthe ventpipes
to collect condensed water.
To ensure the best possible ventilation, the outlet pipe should run
at least 4 meters higher than the inlet pipe. To keep rain and water
splash out, the pipes should be fitted with goosenecks or cowls.
Cable pipes
If the cable between the wheelhouse and the sonar room passes
through hatches or places where it can be damaged, it should be
run through pipes (2” pipes are recommended).
Bilge pump
The sonar room should be connected to the ship’s main bilge
pump system. If this is not possible, a separate bilge pump for the
sonar room must be installed.
Lighting
To simplify the installation and future maintenance, the sonar
room should be equipped with suitable lighting.
Docking
Make sure that there is ample space below the keel for mounting
the hull system, when docking the vessel.
To facilitate future docking, mark the position of the trunk as
indicated in figure 1
Flooring
When the installation is completed, the sonar room should be
suitably floored.
