Type of Drive for Fire Pumps
Type of Drive for Fire Pumps
(OP)
I have to design a fire pump for a demand of 300gpm @ 50psi. what is the type of drive I need to select for this pump. I have seen many times that electric driven pump and diesel engine pump along with jockey pump is used at a time. My next question is regarding the Fuel tank capacity and sizing. If at all I am using the fuel engine pump then what will be the Fuel tank capacity and how to size it?
Desperately waiting for your quick responses... Thanks

The insurance company or code may require the designer has x years experience; in which case you if you had this you would not be asking this question. The consequential damage costs far outweight the engineering cost so licensed fire systems designers do this work .
