Summary:On a diesel ship provided with an exhaust gas economizer, there are problems with soot fire which occurs in the economizer itself and safety against fired soot exhausted from the funnel. Not only ship owners and ship builders but also persons concerned have placed great importance on the soot fire and taken preventive measures. It, however, remains an unsolved problem. This report covers; 1) investigation of the process of occurrence of soot fire 2) preventive measures against soot fire 3) the effect achieved by the preventive measures On a container ship which has a steam turbo generator plant by a large exhaust gas economizer. The preventive measures against soot fire given in this report is not effective on all kind of exhaust gas economizer plants, but shows a guideline for preventing soot fire.
