Fire pump systems are used to meet the critical water flow rate and pressure calculated as a result of fire suppression system design.
They continuously supply water at the required flow rate and pressure to all systems requiring pressurized water such as sprinklers, fire cabinets, indoor and outdoor hydrant systems.
What are the Key Features that Differentiate Fire Pumps from Other Booster Pump Groups?
Unlike water booster pumps, fire pumps have horizontal parallel performance curves. (Flow-pressure optimization)
Fire pump systems consist of main pumps and jockey pumps. Main pumps must always be provided redundantly.
Measures are taken to ensure that fire pumps operate even in the worst-case scenarios of power outages.
Periodic testing and maintenance of fire pumps are mandatory.
According to Turkish Fire Protection Regulations and NFPA20, What are the Pump Selection Criteria?
The most critical 3 factors to consider for fire pumps are:
• When the pump flow rate reaches 150% of its rated flow, the obtained pressure value should not be less than 65% of the rated pressure.
• The pressure obtained against a closed valve (at 0% flow) should not exceed 140% of the rated pressure.
• The declared flow and pressure values in kW / hP must be approved to ensure they meet the reference values and are suitable for the intended use.
• Based on Suction Type and Physical Characteristics
• End-Suction Fire Pumps
• Horizontal Split Case Fire Pumps
• Vertical Turbine Fire Pumps
• Electric Motor Driven Fire Pumps
• Diesel Engine Driven Fire Pumps
• The most preferred design standards worldwide for these systems are NFPA20 and EN12845.
• Designs must adhere to the same standard to encompass all system and equipment types, and product types should be selected accordingly.
• It is crucial that systems are tested and approved by internationally accredited organizations such as UL, FM, VdS.
• Fire pump systems include many auxiliary environmental equipment such as relief valves, waste cones, flow meters, pressure gauges, vacuum gauges, test valves, and more.
• The type and characteristics of this environmental equipment are determined based on the flow and pressure values of the main pumps (primary and backup).
