Análise da utilização de sistemas de ventilação e climatização, segundo normas e padronizações, para embarcações.

Abstract

After a period of stagnation in the Brazilian naval industry that lasted approximately 20 years, the sector has been showing a resumption in investments due to to the growth of the petroleum activity, mainly, after the discovery of the layer of the pre-salt and Transpetro's Fleet Modernization and Expansion Program, making the Brazilian market already holds the fifth largest order book in the world (Dores et al, 2012). These vessels used to serve the pre-salt exploration, known as maritime support vessels, have different characteristics and technical requirements. Therefore, an analysis of national technical standards and regulations is necessary to ensure that the ventilation and air conditioning systems of these vessels meet the applicable technical and safety requirements, and that they do not are technologically outdated. In this way, the present work aims to present the ventilation and air conditioning systems generally used on vessels and their components, and the requirements of regulatory standards NR-30 and the maritime authority NORMAM 01 and 02, in addition to ABNT's technical standards for these systems, also evaluating the divergences that possibly exist of these norms with the classification rules of the classification societies, and the important role of these entities for vessels current.
