Basi Calculation For Pump Tank Selection

BASIC CALCULATION FOR PUMP & TANK SELECTION
The following are the design considered based on NFPA 13 / 14 & 24
1) FIRE HOSE REEL SYSETM
FHR Flow rate = 50 gpm

Max No of FHR in operation at any time = 2 Nos
Duration of operation = 90 mins Ordinary Hazard- II (e.g Public )
Fire hose reel TANK STORAGE CAPACITY (for Ordinary Hazard Area)
= 50 gpm * 2 No * 90 Mins 9000 gpm
Total storage volume required = 9000 gallons (Minimum)

1 galloons = 3.785 litres
Total storage volume required = 9000 gallons * 3.785 34065 litres
TOTAL STORAGE TANK VOLUME 34 m3
Pump flow rate required = 2 x 50 gpm = 100 gpm

Fire hose reel pump Head calculation
Residual Pressure required at FHR = 4.0 Bar
Pressure loss in pipe/fittings etc = 0.5 bar (assumed, larger length of pipe needs more pressure)
Safety = 0.5 bar
Total head pressure required = 5.0 bar Minimum.
2) FIRE HYDRANT SYSETM
Hydrant Flow rate = 250 gpm

Max No of FH in operation at any time = 2 No
Duration of operation = 90 mins Ordinary hazard II (e.g Public)
Fire hydrant TANK STORAGE CAPACITY (for Ordinary Hazard Area)
= 250 gpm * 2 No * 90 Mins 45000 gpm


Safety = 0.5 bar
3) SPRINKLER SYSETM
Sprinkler spacing will be 3.6 meters

design density will be 0.15gpm/ft2(Ordinary Hazard)
area will be 1500 ft2 to be assumed as fire zone
1500 x 0.15 = 225 gpm

Total capacity will be 225gpm...
Sprinkler Water Storage Capacity (for Ordinary Hazard Area)

= 225 gpm * 1 No * 90 Mins 20250 gallons

1.2 HIGH PRESSURE WATER MIST PUMP CALCULATION
The system is designed as NFPA standard 750, in ordinary Hazard -II(area of operation - 144Sq.meter)
Number of nozzles to protect the area of 144 sq.mtr: 12nos of Nozzle will be operate.
Nozzle Flow rate = 28.8 Lpm
Max No of Nozzle in operation at any time = 12 Nos
Pump flow rate required = 12 x 28.8Lpm = 316.8 L/min
Each pump can discharge 120 lpm @ 120 bar pressure

Hence no. of pump required = 316.8/120 = 2.6 ~ 3 nos.
Each Motor Drive 1 pump, hence we choose main 3x120 L/min + stand by 1x120 L/min. Total
pump capacity on duty of 360 lpm @ 120 bar + 120 lpm @ 120 bar stand by, utilizing 4 nos. Of
