3. Description of the Liferaft
The liferaft has an Operating Temperature of 0
0
C to +50
0
C and a stowage/drop height
of maximum 4m above the sea-level.
The liferaft is packed in a valise which can be stored in an internal locker as well. The
liferaft container is manufactured by materials that are resistant to exposure of bad
weather.
The liferaft can be up-righted in case of it being capsized and it is able to withstand
the number of the persons it is designed to accommodate when it floats. It automatically
inflates by pulling the painter line and retains its normal condition when it is loaded with all
the persons and the equipment. Its floor is manufactured by waterproof materials.
The main body of the liferaft consists of one buoyant compartment (containing safety
valve) manufactured by Nylon TPU coated. It is inflated through a non-return valve, ensuring
the flotation of the liferaft. In case the buoyancy chamber is damaged, the pump, that is
included in the standard equipment of the Liferaft, can be used for restoring the pressure.
The canopy of the liferaft (for the models with canopy) which is of vivid color is designed
to protect the persons in the liferaft against bad weather conditions. It bears one entrance
that is easily indicated and allows the flow of sufficient air for the persons onboard (even
when it is closed).
The inflation system of the liferaft provides enough CO
2
gas to inflate the buoyancy
chamber and bears a non return valve activated by an operating head that is driven by the
painter line.
For all models of the Leisure-Raft, gas cylinder used for inflation is refillable. To
maintain the good operation of gas cylinder, it must be inspected periodically by a LALIZAS
authorized service station.
