In the earliest stages of projects involving the installation of stationary pumps for fire protection, it's critical to take a measured and informed approach to assess a variety of factors that play a role in determining the need for and design of a fire pump system. The Evaluation and Planning course discusses the beginning thoughts of where you start your fire pump system design. Receive guidance in differentiating between fire pump types and applications and determining performance requirements, taking into account water supplies, power source, and system demand.
Upon completion, you should be able to:
- Explain the need to determine system demand
- Analyze available water supplies for adequacy and suitability
- Determine the available power source and its usability for a fire pump application and the selected driver
- Select an appropriate fire pump based on the system demand and available water supply
Who Will Benefit:
Water-based systems engineers, designers, plan reviewers, installers, maintenance personnel, inspectors, manufacturers, and insurers.
