    The document discusses keeping a drain valve open during sailing to position engine pumps slightly higher. It recommends checking the reason for pressure in an outer pipe, which could be from leakage or a blocked line-break valve, during the next port stopover. It provides steps to check the pressure in each HCU pipe section by opening and closing drain and check valves to locate whether the problem is in the last pipe section or caused by a blocked line-break valve.

    Double Pipe press high

    Dear Sirs,

    It`s no problem to keep drain valve pos 431 open during normal navigation / sailing.
    The engine driven pumps will obviously be positioned slightly higher than normal.

    The reason for pressure in outer pipe is either leakage or blocked line-break valve.
    We would recommend to check actual reason during next portstay / stop engine.

    a) - All drain valves (431) closed and all check valves (430) open - P2 pressurised.
    b) - Closed HCU valve pos. 430 - Drain pressure by alve pos 431 - Close valve 431.
    c) - Check pressure in outer pipe on MOP.
    c) - Return to a) position of all valves (430, 431) and repeat procedure HCU 2~12.

    1) Pressure remain 1~3 Bar - Problem caused by blocked line-break valve.


    2) Pressure increases to P2 pressure i.e. ~175 Bar - Problem is LAST pipe section.
