    Hydraulic Calculation For Fire Pump

    Uploaded by

    Shaifful Nizam
    This document discusses the hydraulic calculation method for selecting a fire pump for a hose reel system and wet riser system. For a hose reel system, the operating capacity is the discharge rate of each hose reel drum multiplied by the number of drums, and the operating head considers the residual pressure, static head, and friction losses. For a wet riser system, the operating capacity is the discharge rate of each landing valve multiplied by three valves, and the operating head includes the residual pressure, static head, and friction losses to the furthest valve. An example calculation is provided for each system to determine the minimum pump capacity and operating head.

    Hydraulic Calculation

    for Fire Pump


    Hose Reel System & Wet Riser System
    General

     Selected Pump Capacity =


    Operating Capacity
    vs
    Operating Head
    Hose Reel System
     Operating Capacity = Discharge Rate of Hose Reel Drum x Quantity of Hose Reel
    Discharge Rate of Hose Reel Drum = 30 l/min
    Quantity of Hose Reel = Depend of Design, with maximum of 4 nos.

     Operating Head = Residual Pressure of Hose Reel Drum + Static Head + Friction Loss
    Residual Pressure of Hose Reel Drum = min. 2 bars
    Static Head = Difference of Height between Pump and Highest Hose Reel Drum
    Friction Loss = Pipe Losses from pump to Furthest Hose Reel Drum
    Hose Reel System
     Operating Capacity = Discharge Rate of HR Drum x Quantity of HR
    Discharge Rate of Hose Reel Drum = 30 l/min
    Quantity of Hose Reel = Depend of Quantities of Hose Reel Drum in the
    system, with maximum of 4 nos.

     Operating Head = Residual Pressure of HR Drum + Static Head + Friction Loss


    Residual Pressure of Hose Reel Drum = min. 2 bars
    Static Head = Difference of Height between Pump and Highest HR Drum
    = A+C+E
    Friction Loss = Pipe Losses from pump to Furthest HR Drum
    = (A+B+C+D) x 0.05 [5ft/100ft friction loss] x 1.2 [estimated equivalent
    pipe length for elbows and bends are 20% of the total pipe length ]

    = (A+B+C+D) x 0.05 x 1.2


    Hose Reel System (Example)
     Operating Capacity = Discharge Rate of HR Drum x Quantity of HR
    Operating Capacity = 30 l/min x 4 = 120 l/min

     Operating Head = Residual Pressure of HR Drum + Static Head + Friction Loss


    Operating Head = (20m [2 bars]) + (3.7m+14.5m+1.4m) +
    (3.7m+10.5m+14.5m+5.5m+1.4m) x 0.05 x 1.2
    = 20m + 19.6m + (35.6m x 0.05 x 1.2)
    = 41.74m

     Hence, minimum Selected Operating Capacity


    = 120 l/min vs 41.74 m head
    Wet Riser System
     Operating Capacity = Discharge Rate of Landing Valve x 3 (three landings valves opened at same time)
    Discharge Rate of Landing Valve = 500 l/min

     Operating Head = Residual Pressure of Landing Valve + Static Head + Friction Loss
    Residual Pressure of Landing Valve = 4 – 7 Bars
    Static Head = Difference of Height between Pump and Highest Landing Valve
    Friction Loss = Pipe Losses from pump to Furthest Landing Valve
    Wet Riser System
     Operating Capacity = Discharge Rate of Landing Valve x 3
    Discharge Rate of Landing Valve = 500 l/min

     Operating Head = Residual Pressure of Landing Valve + Static Head + Friction Loss
    Residual Pressure of Landing Valve = 4 – 7 Bars
    Static Head = Difference of Height between Pump and Highest Landing Valve
    =A+C+E+G
    Friction Loss = Pipe Losses from pump to Furthest Landing Valve
    = (A+B+C+D+E+F+G) x 0.05 [5ft/100ft friction loss] x
    1.2 [estimated equivalent pipe length for elbows and bends are 20% of the total
    pipe length]

    = (A+B+C+D+E+F+G) x 0.05 x 1.2


     Jockey Pump
    Operating Capacity = 120 l/min
    Operating Head = Usually 20% higher than pump operating head
    Wet Riser System
     Operating Capacity = Discharge Rate of Landing Valve x 3
    Operating Capacity = 500 l/min x 3 = 1500 l/min

     Operating Head = Residual Pressure of Landing Valve + Static Head + Friction Loss
    Operating Head = (55m [4~7 bars]) + (4m+14.5m+14m+1.35) +
    (4m+12m+14.5m+5.5m+14m+13.2M+1.35m) x 0.05 x 1.2
    = 55m + 33.85m + (64.55m x 0.05 x 1.2)
    = 92.72m
     Jockey Pump
    Operating Capacity = 120 l/min
    Operating Head = 92.72m x 1.2
    = 111.26m

     Hence, minimum Selected Operating Capacity


    = 1500 l/min vs 92.72 m head;
    Jockey = 120 l/min vs 111.26 m head
    THE END
