Importance of fire protection

Technological developments & establishment of sophisticated industries

Have increased hazards of fire & explosion. Destruction of property,

personal injury due to fire is a major concern.It is therefore necessaryFor proper identification of these hazards & quick protection of such

Incidents when they occur.

The risks & losses arising out of such accident cant be fully

covered by insurance & therefore it is necessary to take all possible steps

to reduce

The extent of hazards & to minimize losses.An automatic fire protection

system must be provided for total safety.


5/89

7/6/2011 KBL 5

Following purposes are served by using proper fire fighting systems.

Safety of human life.

Safety of buildings,plant,equipment,replacement of which is not costly

But time consuming also.

Insurance companies allow substantial rebate on insurance premium

For installing fire fighting equipment's approved by TAC( TariffAdvisory committee)

/ NAPF 20 system approval is made compulsory by TAC.

7/6/2011 KBL 6

FIRE :

There are so many reasons of fire

Careless match

Short circuit

Chemical explosion

the fire can destroy property, profits and

some timespeople too. All that remains is debris


7/89

7/6/2011 KBL 7

Fire insurance helps to get back some of the moneyinvested. But insurance cannot bring back every

thing like

loss of stock

loss of production facilities

delay while new machinery arrives

loss of customers

loss of immediate profits while business is being built

Fire insurance cant put out a fire, so that the only

alternative would be to play safe and in the event ofaccidental fire and be prepared to stop fire within

shortest possible time, before it can further damage.

Fire Hazards

Normally fire hazards are classified in following major categories

1. Light Hazard Occupancies for e.g Cinema theaters, hotels,

hospitals, offices and schools.

2. Ordinary Hazards Occupancies for e.g. Cigarette factories,

Cotton mills and bakeries.

3. High Hazards A&C

Alcohol distilleries, match factories, oil mills, storage yards

for grass and bagasse.

4. High Hazards B

Explosive factories, petrochemical plants, petroleum

refineries etc. are covered.

7/6/2011 KBL 9

III FIRE PROTECTION METHODS & SYSTEMS

fire hazards can occur and increase only if following conditions areavailable

Fuel availability Excessive Heat/ Temperature Oxygen content

This is know as a fire triangle. To control & extinguish fire one or more of

above to be controlled. To cut out fuel To reduce heat To cut off oxygen

All fire protection systems work on one or combinations of above

principles. Hydrant systems Sprinkler system Gas based protection systems Dry chemical powder protection systems and foam systems.


10/89

7/6/2011 KBL 10

Out of the above systems sprinkler and Hydrant systems are water based

and are discussed below.

Typical Fire water systems are as follows.

1. Main fire water pump with motor

2. Main fire water pump with engine

3. Jockey pump with motor

4. Piping, Hydrant valves hoses and other accessories.


11/89

7/6/2011 KBL 11

I. Sprinkler system:

This is water based system operated automatically through pressure

sensing devices or through specially designed deluge valve. The

water delivered is spread on desired object to extinguish fire.

The temperature rise during fire activates sprinkle head which in turn

sprays water in the fire area


12/89

7/6/2011 KBL 12

II . Hydrant system:

This is also water based system and can be operated either manually or

automatically. In this system pressurized water can be used for

extinguishing the fire. The operation of the system is governed by a

pressure-switch mounted on hydrant line near the pump discharge. The

delivery line is connected to a network of pipe lines and system is

pressurized.


13/89

7/6/2011 KBL 13

In case of fire, when a hydrant valve is opened, a pressure drop is

created in the system giving signal to control panel and thereby

starting motor or diesel driven fire water pump. This pump can be

stopped manually.


14/89

7/6/2011 KBL 14

Rules & Regulations:

TAC/NFPA 20 has recommended various parameters for selection

of duty point for FW pump sets.

19/89

7/6/2011 KBL 19

The most interesting point about fire fighting pumps is that

its not supposed to use at all most of the times. Hence

careful consideration is to be given to avoid corrosion of

pump components and sticking of rotor unit to the stationary

components in idle condition.


20/89

7/6/2011 KBL 20

Jockey pump:Jockey pump:

To compensate water leakage in fire fighting loop a small jockey of

adequate capacity is used.Its main function is to maintain pressure in the system and hence no

special requirements are specified in TAC manual.

Performance engine especially those naturally aspiration, get seriously

affected with change in altitudes, atmospheric temperature and presence

of water vapor in air.

This is because of all these factors collectively reduced quantity of

0xygen available for burning the fuel to drive the engine.

insulation.


29/89

7/6/2011 KBL 29

Theory of operation:

Under normal conditions the entire system is under pressure. Under

pressure there shall be always leakage. Due to this pressure will

keep falling. This loss of water is compensated by jockey pump.

The pressure switch for jockey pump is adjusted slightly below the

system pressure so that pump starts when limit is reached and stops

when system regains its desired pressure.


30/89

7/6/2011 KBL 30

During fires sprinkler/hydrant evacuated automatically and gets opened

and starts spray the water. Due to this system pressure drop very

fast. But since water demand is very high, at lower pressure motor

operated fire pump will start. If it also fails to compensate and

stand by diesel engine will start working.

KBL can supply wide range of fire fighting sets. KBL pumps and

accessories satisfies the requirements of TAC/ NFPA 20.

Most of our models are approved by TAC/UL.

SPARE PARTS BUSINESS

FOR V.T. PUMPS AND LARGE SPILT CASE PUMPS

Use of ISI- 6 strainer instead of S galvanized in case of

turbid liquid.

Provision of bottom bearing arrangement in bell mouth for

improvement of pump life. The bottom bearing provides supports

to lower part of the impeller shaft which enhance the life of the

pump.


69/89

7/6/2011 KBL 69

Study the site condition, sump layout, liquid details and

recommend suitable material of construction to over come the

problem, if any.

Recommend impeller material CF or C 6 if liquid

contains abrasive sand particles or chloride contents exceeds

PPM.

Impeller guide piece material CF M or C 6 M instead of Cast

Iron for BHM and BHQ type pumps.


70/89

7/6/2011 KBL 70

Recommend improved design of discharge case having higher

size [ ] bleed off connection and use of schedule / pipes

instead MS IS: pipes in order to avoid excessive leakage

through tube tension nut.

Use of Thordon type bearing and hardened shaft sleeve I case

of turbid liquid.

Suggest provision of mechanical locking arrangement for

Thordon type bearing to over come the problem of loosening and

coming out from housing.


71/89

7/6/2011 KBL 71

Recommend higher shell thickness or RW column pipes to over

come water leakage problem through welding joint.

Replacement of conical / Screwed coupling / old type

coupling for higher size shaft diameters [ i.e. above 6

mm diameter] by muff coupling of improved design.


72/89

7/6/2011 KBL 72

Recommend cast iron discharge head which has better

dampening properties in place ofMS discharge head or

suggest integral MS ischarge head [ ischarge head and

motor stool] to over come vibration problem or suggest to

reduce bearing span after taking prior approval ofPDE.

Recommend improved design of stuffing box with throttle

bush arrangement to avoid excessive leakage through stuffingbox.


73/89

7/6/2011 KBL 73

Recommend hardened Stainless Steel material for shaft

sleeve under stuffing box to avoid fast wearing of sleeve below

gland packing to minimize stuffing box leakage.

Replacement ofMitchell type bearing / lacier type thrust

bearing by antifriction bearing for reducing bearing loss. If at

clients end antifriction bearing is giving trouble then suggest

use ofMitchell type / lacier thrust bearing.

Pump operating parameters to be verified based on system

head. If client requires higher discharge or system head is more

then suggest use of higher impeller diameter by checking

possibility of/margin on motor kW. If existing motor rating is not

sufficient, then select new efficient pump type. If client requires

both head and discharge more then check possibility of

changing only pump unit.

Suggest superior material to over come the problem of fast

wearing of cast components considering water analysis.

Recommend alternative material for pump component in case

financial constraints of customer [e.g. CI impeller instead of

Bronze, . % iCI instead of . to % iCI], keeping him

informed about less life of component as compared to original

supply.
