3 Causes of System Over-Pressure Variable Suction Pressure Pump Pressure Curve Rise to Shutoff Engine Speed Increase to Shutoff commonly referred to as Droop

4 Variable Suction Pressure Systems are designed for a minimum supply pressure when typically the water pressure is much higher. During a 24 hour period demand for water fluctuates. Over time new consumers, feeder branches and/or water pumps are added or removed from the municipal system. Regions which get water from mountain sources have seasonal fluctuations. Note: A fire can occur at anytime; not necessarily at the design suction pressure.

5 Pump Curve Pressure Rise to Shutoff Pumps are allowed to have up to 140% rise in pump pressure from rated pressure The higher the rise in shut off pressure, the less amount of horsepower is needed to obtain the rated pressure The higher the rise in shut off pressure, the greater the chance of over pressurizing the sprinkler system.

6 Speed Increase to Shutoff When the load or horsepower demand is reduced on either a Diesel Engine or an Electric Motor, the driver speed increases. This increase in speed is known as Slip for an Electric Motor and Droop for a Diesel Engine. -NFPA 20 allows a 10% droop. One of the Affinity Laws state that pump pressure varies by the square of the speed. The increase in rpm, due to reduced load at no-flow, could overpressurize the sprinkler system. Note: At 1760 rpm, a 10% increase in speed results in a 21% increase in pressure.

7 System Pressure Supply pressure is generally the highest at shut-off where the pump p pressure and engine droop are the greatest. All 3 factors must be taken into account to prevent over pressurization.

8 Controlling Sprinkler System Over-Pressure NFPA 2003/2007 Approved Options: 1) Break Tank Requirements- -An automatic fill May reduce the overall reliability -More floor space Adds significant cost to the installation.

9 Controlling Sprinkler System Over-Pressure NFPA 2003/2007 Approved Options: 2) Ground Storage Tank Requirements- -Sized to meet the total fire flow requirement Adds Significant cost to the installation -Physical Space May not have room on property

10 Controlling Sprinkler System Over-Pressure NFPA 2003/2007 Approved Options: 3) Variable Speed Pressure Limiting Control Requirements- -Device on Engine -Sensing Line -Pressure Relief Valve -Additional visible and audible alarm on the controller

34 PLD Benefits Pressure Limiting Drivers (PLD) will Prevent Sprinkler System Over-Pressure due to: Variable Suction Pressure Variable Suction Pressure High Pump Shut-Off Pressure Engine Droop

35 PLD Benefits No device in the main supply line with potential obstructions to the water flow. Saves design time by not having to review multiple engine/pump combinations, to confirm shut off pressure will NOT exceed the system pressure. Reduces quantity of pressure control valves on high rise applications by capping the maximum pressure sent to the sprinkler system.

36 PLD Benefits Enables you to use pumps p with steeper shut off curves requiring less horse power to potentially reduce the engine/pump cost. Eliminate routine discharge of excess water during weekly tests

37 Mechanical vs Electronic PLD Discharge Control Mechanical Engine Pressure settings of 100, 170 or 240 psi Engine has droop Electronic Engine Factory Set any control pressure between 100 and 350 psi for precise pressure control Engine has 0% droop No water discharge from pressure sensing line during operation

38 Pressure Limiting Driver Applications Pumps using municipal water with a pressure rating of 125 psi or higher. Facilities that requires 2 sources of water. One pump used for multiple buildings. A large pressure difference between the static suction A large pressure difference between the static suction pressure and residual suction pressure.

39 Electronic Pressure Limiting Driver Applications High g Rise Application- Capable of 350 psi allowing the engine to protect the maximum rating of the riser. Reduce the amount of pressure reducing valves on the upper floors of a building. Can be Factory Set to a specific calculated pressure to allow for 100 psi on the roof while preventing system over pressure.

40 Electronic Pressure Limiting Driver Applications Replacement p Pump Sets Protect Underground Loop. Protect older sprinkler systems by using the engine to reduce the maximum pressure.

41 Summary PLD Discharge Control Pressure Relief Valves are no longer allowed to be used to control sprinkler system over-pressure. The PLD is an effective way of controlling system over The PLD is an effective way of controlling system overpressure by reducing the rpm of the driver according to the 2003/2007 NFPA 20 regulations.
