Miscellaneous equipment description
C-3.1 Dayroom Equipment. This equipment includes a drinking fountain, hotplate, coffeemaker, refrigerator, range
hood three berthing units with three bunks each, filing cabinet, mess table with six seats, writing table, sink, and radio
operator's desk and chair.
C-3.2 Workshop equipment. Operational equipment includes an arbor press, drill press, and grinder with dust'
collector. Nonoperational equipment Includes stowage bins and workbench with vise. The workshop includes an arc
welder in the ROWPU space portside, under the air compressor motor controller near the life preserver stowage box.
C-3.3 Accesses system. This system includes deckhouse doors and portholes, accesses to voids, and doors behind
voids. Accesses to the weatherdeck allow crew and equipment to enter and leave areas of the barge and give protection
against adverse weather and sea conditions.
C-3.4 Sanitation systems. The barge contains two sanitation systems, the ship's toilets and the bilge system. The two
systems are not interconnected.
C-3.4.1 Ship's toilet. The ship's two toilets are located in the ROWPU space; one against the workshop aft bulkhead, the
other in an enclosure on the port side near the stem bulkhead. Ship's toilets are self-contained electric incinerating
disposal systems that reduce human waste to a substance similar to wood ash. Waste is deposited in the toilets on a
waxed paper liner and then incinerated along with the liner in an incineration chamber. This chamber is cooled during and
after incineration by a blower system, which vents to the outside.
The incineration process is begun by pushing a foot pedal. Since the toilet uses no water or chemicals, a bowl liner
must be used with every operation. Waste deposited on this liner Is flushed and Incinerated automatically when the pedal
is pressed. The indicator lamp on the starboard side lights when the heater is on during the incineration cycle.
Incineration cycle lasts about 20 minutes, during which time the heater switches on and off. The blower, which switches
on at the same time as the heater, force vents the system. It stays on continuously through the cycle until the incinerator
chamber cools to about 140 degrees F. This takes 35 to 45 minutes after the heater and light go off.
C-3.5
Bilge system. The bilge system, in the voids, collects and removes equipment waste from the barge and keeps
the bilges dry.
A bilge pump transfers liquid containing oil to the sludge tank. This oily liquid Includes bilge water from the voids, waste
lubricating oil from three diesel generators (two ship service generators and one ship auxiliary generator) in void 4 and
waste lubricating oil from two ROWPU HP pump diesel engines In ROWPU space. Bilge water from a void is pumped to
the sludge tank using a portable hose with foot valve to suck up the bilge water. Waste lubricating oil is pumped to the
sludge tank from the generator diesel engine crankcase after a hose is connected between the generator crankcase drain
valve (BD16, BD17 or BD18) and avoid 4 suction valve (BD2 or BD10). Waste lubricating oil is pumped to the sludge tank
from the HP pump diesel engine crankcase drain valves (BD12 or BD13) and valve (BD19) located between the high
pressure pumps.
C-3.6
Bilge system. The bilge system, In the voids, collects and removes equipment waste from the barge and keeps
the bilges dry.
A bilge pump transfers liquid containing oil to the sludge tank. This oily liquid includes bilge water from the voids, waste
lubricating oil from three diesel generators (two ship service generators and one ship auxiliary generator) in void 4 and
waste lubricating oil from two ROWPU HP pump diesel engines in ROWPU space. Bilge water from a void is pumped to
the sludge tank using a portable hose with foot valve to suck up the bilge water. Waste lubricating oil is pumped to the
sludge tank from the generator diesel engine crankcase after a hose is connected between the generator crankcase drain
valve (BD16, BD17 or BD18) and avoid 4 suction valve (BD2 or BD10). Waste lubricating oil Is pumped to the sludge
tank from the HP pump diesel engine crankcase drain valves (BD12 or BD13) and valve (BD19) located between the high
pressure pumps.
