Assumptions:
Fire Data:
* For a 90 min operation of the fire pump the total flow from sprinklers is 20250 Gal = 76545 liters
*Adopting a flow of 225 gpm or 14.19 l/s for a sump pump means that:
2
1. All sprinklers are activated within 1500 ft
2. The sump pump will remove all the water dishcarged instantaneously in 90 min
* If the total amount of 20250 gal are to be removed in 3 hours the pump flow rate would be 7.1 l/s
* If the total amount of 20250 gal are to be removed in 4 hours the pump flow rate would be 5.3 l/s
* For a total flow rate of 225 gpm, the individual sprinkler flow rate is 18.75 gpm
* Assuming 3 sprinklers are first activated the total discharge flow is 56.25 gpm or 3.55 l/s
* Based on the above, three significant flow rate figures are simulated in the Table below
