FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM

Prepared by: ANH Project: FMI


Checked by: EHAB Date: 9-Aug-22

1 Water tank volume:

1.1 Flow rate and running pressure of hydrant system:

Demand for horizonal standpipe : 750 GPM = 47.3 L/s


Demand for first standpipe : 500 GPM = 31.55 L/s
Demand for 2nd standpipe : 250 GPM = 15.77 L/s
Demand for 3rd standpipe : 250 GPM = 15.77 L/s
So, we have the total demand as follow: Q = = 110.39 l/s

So:
Total demand: = 110.39 L/s
Minimum running pressure at landing valve of : = 690 Kpa
Storage tank with : = 60 min
Minimum capacity of storage tank: V = 397 m3

Select a Minimum capacity of storage tank: V = 400 m3

Full capacity of fire water storage tank: Vtank = 400 m3

2 Fire water pump sizing:

2.1 Conditions:
Flow rate:
There are: Q = QHosereel & Hydrant + Qsprinkler = 110 L/s

Head on pump: H = H1+H2+H3


a. Static pressure at highest outlet: H1 = 400 Kpa
b. Required pressure outlet H2 = 690 Kpa
c. Pressure loss:
- The length of run from the pump to the furthest and highest: = 150 m
- Equivalent length of run:( 1.5 coeff.) 225 m
- Friction head loss:
H3 = 90 Kpa
-Safety factor: k = 1.05
- Head on pump: H = H1+H2+H3 = 1239 Kpa
Select head on fire pump: = 1240 Kpa

2.2 Select the low fire pump system (01 Electrical, 01 Diesel, 01 Jockey)

Main fire pump :


Q = 110 L/s
H = 1240 Kpa
Jockey Pump
Q = 3 L/s
H = 1300 Kpa
