Hello P’Tang article today contains important information that would like to share with everyone about the Fire Pump system, the and how necessary it is to have the law enforced that this device should be installed in the factory and what kind of equipment is this? Okay from now on P’Tang will take you to the article fire pump if it’s this important can’t have it anymore Fire prevention and extinguishing in factories at the Ministry of Industry announced in the relevant legislation in the category of fire suppression systems that factory operators must provide adequate amounts of water for extinguishing fires to supply water to the fire pump device to spray water to extinguish the fire at least for not less than thirty minutes and installation of fire water systems It must meet accepted international standards and a factory with a place to store objects raw or product which is a flammable object with a continuous area of 1,000 square meters or more Automatic fire extinguishing systems such as fire pumps must be installed automatic fire sprinkler head or equivalent system to cover that area.
Fire Pump If this is important can’t have it anymore | HRR Just the above information that P’Tang describes can be considered why the industrial factory must have a pump light installed.
“Fire pump What is it?”
Fire Pump
The fire pump system is the heart of extinguishing fires that occur in various buildings many times in the event of a fire in the building cannot be used due to lack of maintenance can work effectively with other important factors such as.
- Installing a fire pump in a suitable location.
- Correct installation of piping and equipment.
- Knowledge of functions components and how to maintain fire pumps.
Location of fire pumps
For the fire pump and the pressure maintenance pump (Jockey pump) to work efficiently and have a long service life should be installed in a suitable environment as close as possible to the water reservoir, placed on a stable and strong concrete platform the roof protects against sun and rain the location where the fire pump set is installed inside the pump room should be located in a location that can be easily inspected and maintained or repaired because the fire pump set is usually large and a lot of weight the design of installing a fire pump set should be close to the entrance-exit door of the pump room to make it easier to remove and move when the fire pump is to be repaired to another place and should there are equipment to facilitate repair and maintenance or for moving.
“In case the well is below the pump”
Fire Pump installation and piping with correct equipment
- Do not install a long suction pipe and use as few connections as possible in the system, otherwise there may be a problem with the water pump being unable to pump up.
- Separate the fire pump and jockey pump suction pipes if using the pump located above the water tank.
- Relief valve must be installed before the check valve In case it is installed after the check valve, when the jockey pump is working, it will cause the relief valve to drain the water in the system causing the Jockey pump to work more often.
- When connecting the discharge pipe of the Jockey pump to the Fire pump pipe system continue after the Check valve.
- Fire pump suction side NFPA requires installation of valve type OS2Y GATE VALVE only.
Sometimes the water clarifier is below the water pump level but the designer cannot install a vertical turbine firepump as the pump room is not above the water clarifier which may be installed as a horizontal split case instead but there should be a priming tank added to the system to add water in case the foot valve has a leakage problem and the pipe of the priming tank system should be connected to the check valve on the discharge side of the water pump in the priming tank automatically adds water to the fire pump In the case of sucking water from the lower well it is not necessary to put the gate valve or butterfly valve on the suction side again because it will increase the friction loss in the suction inlet and sometimes if it is not properly installed it will cause air to leak into the inlet can suck.
