Key Design Considerations for Reliable Fire Pumps

Fire protection systems are critical for life safety and property protection, relying on a dependable water supply and adequate pressure to function effectively. Hydraulic design, pump selection and system reliability are vital elements for consideration when implementing holistic fire and life safety solutions.

Jesse Warboys, fire and life safety section manager, has recently authored an article in Consulting-Specifying Engineer.

Warboys's commentary is useful for determining fire protection hydraulic demands to balance water supply and system demands, for example fire flow versus fire suppression demand, alongside evaluating pump selection criteria and key design considerations, such as diesel and electric.
