Fire Pump Resources

(OP)
I'm looking for the best resources for Fire Pump design.  Is there anything on the web anyone knows about?

RE: Fire Pump Resources

MissEE8,

Your best bet would be with a Plumbing and Fire Protection Engineer or Forum for the actual Fire Pump design.  As Electrical Engineers, we need to properly design the feeders and the normal and emergency power distribution and transfer systems for these, but in my experience, we do not design the fire pumps, jockey pumps, etc.... Nor in fact do I believe we are allowed to do so by any Fire Codes or Fire AHJ's of which I am aware.  For the equipment itself, you may want to contact someone like "Armstrong-Darling", or maybe, 'Firetrol' for the controllers.  I don't have their specific website addresses, but I am sure you can google them.  I don't know if that is of any help, but good luck.

RE: Fire Pump Resources

In most caes it would be best to consult a licensed Fire Protection Engineer (FPE) for this service.
