TSAMTO, July 15. The delivery team of the Baltic Plant (part of JSC "USC") conducted tests of an auxiliary boiler installation with service systems on the first serial icebreaker of the project 22220 "Siberia".
During the tests, the system of automatic control of the power plant processes in emergency and emergency situations was tested. In particular, the process of automatic transition from the main to the backup power source has been worked out. The members of the factory delivery team tested the automation, safety, technological and emergency alarm systems of auxiliary boiler equipment on the left side of the vessel. The auxiliary boiler plant is designed to supply steam to the ship's heating system and the system that provides the icebreaker with the greatest ice penetration.
The tests were preceded by a long preparatory work. Due to the design features of the icebreaker, a special method was developed for testing, different from the method used on the lead vessel of the project. The adjustment of the test methodology required a lot of joint work from the delivery team and the technologists of the Baltic Plant with the specialists of the designer.
The universal nuclear icebreaker "Siberia" was laid down on May 26, 2015. This is the second vessel in the line of the project 22220, the construction of which is being carried out by the staff of the Baltic Plant. According to the plans, the icebreaker "Siberia" should enter the factory sea trials at the end of 2021, after which the vessel will be handed over to the customer.
The message is posted in open access on the website of JSC "USC".
