2 UL Listed, FM Approved Fire Pump Sets Horizontal Split Case Pumps Flows from US GPM Vertical Turbine Flows to 5000 US GPM In-Line Pumps Flows to 750 US GPM End Suction Flows to 1500 US GPM Residential 13D Flows to 70 US GPM

3 What s new and coming up Grooved end jockey pumps Already standard Grooved increasers standard with NBG packs New standard Class 250# flanges Grooved fire pumps Spring 2013

4 Types of Fire Pumps Split Case Fire Pumps Inline Fire Pumps Vertical Turbine Fire Pumps End Suction Fire Pumps Residential 13D Fire pumps

5 Everything you need to know about fire pumps.

6 Types of Fire Pumps

7 HORIZONTAL SPLIT CASE ELECTRIC

8 HORIZONTAL SPLIT CASE DIESEL

9 Split Case Fire Pump Models Ease of Installation and Maintenance Longevity and Durability Serviceability Reliability Typical applications Warehouse Hospital Manufacturing plant University or large school Office High Rise

10 VERTICAL INLINE (ELECTRIC ONLY)

11 Vertical In-Line Requires less space than split case pump of the same capacity Typically Less expensive Motor can be serviced without disconnecting suction & discharge flanges from piping Typical applications Small schools Churches Parking garages

12 END SUCTION ELECTRIC

13 END SUCTION DIESEL

14 VERTICAL TURBINE ELECTRIC

15 VERTICAL TURBINE DIESEL

16 Vertical Turbine Fire Pumps

17 Vertical Turbine Design Features No priming Adaptability to water level Adaptability to various driver combinations Compact footprint No alignment necessary Minimal maintenance

18 Vertical Turbine Applications Vertical Turbines Applications where city water is not available Ponds and lakes to utilize water supply Only pump approved for suction lift conditions

19 90% rule 90% of what drives a pump quote is? Flow Pressure

20 Electric or Diesel? Electric sets are typically used where there is a reliable source of power What to ask.. What voltage? 208? 230? 460? Transfer Switch? Transfer switch is used when the source of power may not be reliable and/or precaution. Transfer switch for 2 nd utility Starting method? Full voltage? across the line Reduced Voltage? Part winding Primary reactor Wye Delta Open Wye Delta closed Soft Start Auto Transformer That s all you need to know. See rapid

21 Typical Brands of Fire Pump Controllers Firetrol Master Metron Cutler Hammer Joslyn Clarke Tornatech

22 Electric motors Electric motors are used to drive Horizontal split case End suction Vertical inline Vertical turbine Motors are selected based on Voltage HP required by the pump Frame size Configuration of pump (i.e. vertical or horizontal)

23 Typical Brands of Electric Motors WEG Motors US Electric Motors Marathon GE

24 Why Diesel? Diesel units are used primarily where there is not a reliable source of power or by preference Typical Engine Manufacturers Clarke engines (John Deere) Cummins Caterpiller Diesel units may drive Horizontal split case Vertical turbine End suction Engines are selected based on HP of pump requirement RPM EPA emissions standards as stated on presentation below

25 Diesel controllers Diesel engine fire pumps are especially nice because of how reliable they can be and by the inexpensive control panel. There are only a few options tend to be required on diesel control panels. The most distinct difference is voltage of the battery used to back up the engine 12 volt DC? 24 volt DC?

26 What is a jockey pump? A jockey pump is a pressure maintenance pump set so that in the event of slight fluctuations in sprinkler system pressure, the fire pump will not need to turn on. Typically set 10 psi over the fire pump Jockey pumps are replaced frequently and can be purchased from you. What to ask? In order to sell a jockey pump, you will need to know. If the customer is replacing a jockey pump, you will at least need to know the following Boost pressure (can be found by adding at least 10 psi to the fire pump pressure setting HP (should be on the motor nameplate or jockey pump controller) Voltage (also on motor nameplate or jockey pump controller)

27 Jockey Pumps Regenerative Turbine Pumps Vertical Multi-stage

28 Jockey pump controller Jockey pump controllers very small and meant to supply power exclusively to the jockey pump

29 Fire pump accessories and NFPA 20 NFPA 20 suggests minimum pipe and accessory sizes based on flow. In the chart below, you can see how based on the flow, you can select what size flow meter you might need, what size suction and discharge pipe is needed and what size test header etc Thought you do not need to memorize this chart, it is a helpful tool.

39 How well do you know Fire Pumps? Fill in the blanks The first thing to ask when looking for a fire pump quote is the required and What are the 4 main types of fire pumps? Horizontal Vertical Turbine End Is the pump set driven by motor or Engine Do you need a (hint adds $13,000) What is the site? (hint 208/230/460)

40 I need a 1000 gpm at 90 psi fire pump, what size jockey do I need? What are the 3 points on a NFPA 20 pump curve? (no flow) % % You have a 500 gpm fire pump, what is the flow at 100%?
