Question:

How to select the fire pump?

A residential building with a floor height of 11 stories and a roof height of 33 meters. The height of the water tank is 37.7 meters. The basement is -3.3 meters, only set fire hydrant, fire pump only consider the indoor fire water, fire flow should be 10l/s. Now select a fire pump, concrete should be much traffic, big head, flow determine how? How to determine the head, I hope to say some more detailed, thank you, and there is to explain this question, why is the fire pump lift 120?. Thank you

Answer:

Modify the part: (the design of regional common fire pump should be in accordance with the requirements of the original design, building design) contains a 55m high building, and the basement is about 6m, the pump reached in the basement height about 61m (common fire pump should be based on the highest floor of other low floor area, low ring and take in this case, relief measures) 61 levels, the most unfavorable hydrant to reach 0.07MPa (maximum allowable 0.5MPa) plus loss of lift at least about 90m more appropriate, of course can be higher to take relief measures (120 too high), the basic flow of lossless (with the same time there is only one building fire) according to the maximum amount of a building fire water pump set can be, there must be a backup with a preparation, and then select the appropriate pump manufacturer specification query.(the 20 houses on 99m are only shared with a 135m pump)
Such as a large pressure of about 10m or about 0.1MPa} because the most unfavorable point fire hydrant requires more than 0.07MPa (7m) and 0.5MPa (50m) is not greater than the pressure, so unless the pump is located in the 50m Valley is still lower than the garage, or add to the valve (or the use of fire hydrant decompression) otherwise, it is 120m lift pump
According to the water quantity form fire flow water supply system fire safety in high-rise building fire hydrant pump lift is 10L/s, accurate algorithm is to say after a simple calculation with each indoor hydrant flow is two 5L/s bolt so to get the most unfavorable point for the calculation unit to calculate the minimum requirements, with the most unfavorable point suppository pressure specifications 0.07MPa, partial loss of the most unfavorable line and the line (according to the equivalent length) and loss (according to the material resistance coefficient), and finally the pump head loss of gravity difference. But we just calculate the construction elevation difference multiplied by 110% to 120% to determine the head {there is a need to know is: conversion head (m), (kg) and MPa kg 1MPa=10 kg = 100m is the vertical water column on unit area pressure conversion
