ASSUMPTIONS
For this study, it is assumed that the appropriate
pump size is known. Cost of fire pump maintenance
and operation is factored into this analysis, while
requirements for fire pump maintenance are beyond
its scope. Discussions of reliability are based on the
following assumptions:
Fire pumps are installed according to NFPA 20,
Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps
for Fire Protection.
Fire pumps are maintained according to NFPA 25,
Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems.
Emergency generators are installed according to
NFPA 110, Standard for Emergency and Standby
Power Systems.
SELECTION
Primary considerations in selecting a fire pump
driver are:
Reliability
Initial cost
Maintenance cost
Operating cost
Design
Safety
RELIABILITY
Causes of most fire protection system failures can
be eliminated by installing fire protection systems
and components according to NFPA standards,
maintaining fire protection systems according to
NFPA 25, and providing remote supervision
according to NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code.
Reliability of Fire Pump Diesel Engine Drivers
Diesel-engine-driven fire pumps are not affected by
power outages, and are designed to be more reliable
than automotive, truck or standby diesel generator
set engines. Most of the reasons that engines fail
to start are minimized or eliminated in a fire pump
installation. The fire pump diesel engine isnt
subjected to cold temperature, backup batteries are
part of every fire pump installation, batteries are
monitored, and the engine is tested weekly for 30
minutes. The fuel level is supervised.

POWER SUPPLY
When the sites transformer is installed and owned
by the utility, the cost is built into the rates charged.
If the owner must pay for the transformer, its likely
that a diesel engine fire pump will cost less than
the total cost of the electric-motor-driven fire pump
with transformer.
