8 points of Horizontal fire pump selection
2021-03-30
1)fire pump performance parameter requirements
Ordinary fire pump
Working condition 1: When the suction depth is 1m, the rated flow rate (Qn) and rated pressure (Pn) requirements should be met, and the working pressure should not exceed 1.05 times of the rated pressure.
Working condition 2: When the suction depth is 1 m, the flow rate is 1.5 Qn, and the working pressure should not be less than 0.65 Pn.
The maximum working pressure must not exceed 1.4 Pn.
Deep well diving fire pump
Working condition 1: When the suction depth is 0m, the rated flow rate (Qn) and rated pressure (Pn) requirements should be met, and the working pressure should not exceed 1.05 times of the rated pressure.
Working condition 2: When the suction depth is 0 m, the flow rate is 1.5 Qn, and the working pressure should not be less than 0.65 Pn.
The maximum working pressure must not exceed 1.4 Pn.
2) structural requirements, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, continuous operation and other performance testing should meet the requirements of GB6245-2006 standard.
3) The pumps used in the pump set shall be subjected to stereotype identification and type inspection and comply with relevant standards. The prime movers selected should be finalized and meet the relevant standards. The engine should have good normal temperature starting performance and should be guaranteed to start smoothly within 5s. Within 20s after the water is introduced, the fire pump should be able to reach the rated working condition.
4) The pump impeller rotates flexibly without jamming.
5) The designer should select and determine the types of fire pump according to the location and area of the fire pump room in the project and the specific conditions of the fire water supply system.
6) The flow rate and pressure of the fire pump shall be determined according to the requirements of the fire water volume and water pressure according to the service buildings (or factory plant area, residential area), storage yard, storage tank, etc. The fire pump shall meet the water pressure and flow requirements of the fire water. The flow rate and head of the pump are not lower than the design requirements and are not lower than the set point of the performance curve.
7) The fire pump of the temporary high-pressure fire water supply system shall be used one by one or one more. The working capacity of the standby fire pump should not be less than the largest one of the fire working pumps. When using more than one preparation, the influence of system flow and pressure on multiple fire pumps should be considered when working in parallel.
8) When selecting a fire pump, its flow-pressure (Q~P) characteristic curve should be flat without hump. When there are conditions, you can use a combination of a tangential pump or a pump valve (pressure reducing regulator).
