Everything you need to

know about fire pumps….


Types of Fire Pumps


HORIZONTAL SPLIT CASE ELECTRIC


HORIZONTAL SPLIT CASE DIESEL


Split Case Fire Pump Models

• Ease of Installation and Maintenance

• Longevity and Durability

• Serviceability

• Reliability

• Typical applications

• Warehouse

• Hospital

• Manufacturing plant

• University or large school

• Office High Rise


VERTICAL INLINE (ELECTRIC ONLY)


Vertical In-Line

Requires less space than split case pump of the same capacity

Typically Less expensive

Motor can be serviced without disconnecting suction & discharge flanges from piping

Typical applications

Small schools

Churches

Parking garages


END SUCTION ELECTRIC


END SUCTION DIESEL


VERTICAL TURBINE ELECTRIC


VERTICAL TURBINE DIESEL


Vertical Turbine

Fire Pumps


Vertical Turbine Design Features

No priming

Adaptability to water level

Adaptability to various driver combinations

Compact “footprint”

No alignment necessary

Minimal maintenance


Vertical Turbine Applications

Vertical Turbines

Applications where city water is not available

Ponds and lakes to utilize water supply

Only pump approved for suction lift conditions


90% rule…

90% of what drives a pump quote is?

Flow

Pressure


Electric or Diesel?

Electric sets are typically used where there is a reliable source of power

What to ask.. – What voltage?

• 208? 230? 460?

– Transfer Switch? • Transfer switch is used when the source of power may not be reliable and/or

precaution.

– Transfer switch for 2nd utility – Starting method?

• Full voltage?

– across the line • Reduced Voltage?

– Part winding

– Primary reactor

– Wye Delta Open

– Wye Delta closed

– Soft Start

– Auto Transformer

That’s all you need to know……. See rapid


Typical Brands of Fire Pump Controllers

– Firetrol

– Master

– Metron

– Cutler Hammer

– Joslyn Clarke

– Tornatech


Electric motors

Electric motors are used to drive

– Horizontal split case

– End suction

– Vertical inline

– Vertical turbine

Motors are selected based on

– Voltage

– HP required by the pump

– Frame size

– Configuration of pump (i.e. vertical or horizontal)


Typical Brands of Electric Motors

– WEG Motors

– US Electric Motors

– Marathon

– GE


Why Diesel?

Diesel units are used primarily where there is not a reliable source of power or by preference

Typical Engine Manufacturers – Clarke engines (John Deere)

– Cummins

– Caterpiller

Diesel units may drive – Horizontal split case

– Vertical turbine

– End suction

Engines are selected based on – HP of pump requirement

– RPM

– EPA emissions standards as stated on presentation below


Diesel controllers

Diesel engine fire pumps are especially nice because of

how reliable they can be and by the inexpensive control

panel.

There are only a few options tend to be required on diesel

control panels. The most distinct difference is voltage of

the battery used to back up the engine

– 12 volt DC?

– 24 volt DC?


What is a jockey pump?

A jockey pump is a pressure maintenance pump set so that in the event of slight fluctuations in sprinkler system pressure, the fire pump will not need to turn on.

Typically set 10 psi over the fire pump

Jockey pumps are replaced frequently and can be purchased from you….

What to ask? In order to sell a jockey pump, you will need to know. If the customer is replacing a jockey pump, you will at least need to know the following

– Boost pressure (can be found by adding at least 10 psi to the fire pump pressure setting

– HP (should be on the motor nameplate or jockey pump controller)

– Voltage (also on motor nameplate or jockey pump controller)


Jockey Pumps

Regenerative Turbine Pumps

Vertical Multi-stage


Jockey pump controller

Jockey pump controllers

very small and meant to

supply power exclusively to

the jockey pump


Fire pump accessories and NFPA 20

NFPA 20 suggests minimum pipe and accessory sizes

based on flow. In the chart below, you can see how based

on the flow, you can select what size flow meter you might

need, what size suction and discharge pipe is needed and

what size test header etc… Thought you do not need to

memorize this chart, it is a helpful tool….
