38、6/2015 7:20:29 PMviiPrefaceFire pumps have been used to supply flow and pressure to fire protection systems for over 100 years. The first NFPA standard on automatic sprinkler systems was published in 1896 and included information on steam and rotary fire pumps that is still valid today. Among its re

39、quirements were 2 in. outlets for testing purposes, equipment protection (the pump had to be located in a brick or stone enclosure and cut off from the main building by fire doors), and a weekly running test. The standard established the minimum size for fire pumps to be not less than 500 gpm rated

40、capacity and required a 60 minute water supply. A spring-type pressure relief valve and pressure gauge were also required. These requirements amounted to less than one page of text for the installation of a fire pump.These early pumps were not the primary water supply for sprinkler or standpipe syst

41、ems and were started manually. Pumps were permitted to take suction by lift either from a con-nected water main or by means of connecting a primer pipe to a water tank of not less than 200 gallons capacity. The first pumps were usually powered by steam; gasoline enginedriven pumps were first mention

42、ed in the standard in 1913. At first unreliable, these spark-ignited engines evolved into the reliable diesel enginedriven pumps of modern times.Today, fire pumps are considered to be a primary component of the fire protection water supply and are started automatically. Modern fire pumps are connect

43、ed to a reliable driver of either an electric motor or a diesel engine (some steam-driven units are still in service) and are designed to start and operate under the most demanding conditions. NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, has undergone 31 revisions

44、and has evolved into a comprehensive installation standard consisting of 14 chapters and 168 pages far more comprehensive than the first standard on fire pumps.In 1998 NFPA and the National Fire Sprinkler Association collaborated on the first edi-tion of what was then called the Fire Pump Handbook.

45、Kenneth E. Isman, P.E., of NFSA and Milosh Puchovsky, P.E., formerly of the NFPA staff, provided a depth of knowledge and expertise to create a handbook that became invaluable to those in the field. NFPA acknowl-edges the work of Mr. Isman and Mr. Puchovsky in their authorship of the first edition o

46、f the Fire Pump Handbook, portions of which have been used in the preparation of this book. The purpose of this handbook, in addition to providing commentary on the requirements of NFPA 20, is to include in one document a complete handbook of all NFPA documents that establish water supply requiremen

47、ts for fixed suppression systems, regardless of the type of water supply. An overview of pump configurations provides examples of possible fire pump configuration based on the requirements of NFPA 20, and discusses the purpose of its com-ponents. Part I of this handbook contains the requirements for

48、 the installation of fire pumps from NFPA 20, with additional explanation in the form of commentary. Part II covers hydrant systems and how hydrant demand necessitates a fire pump installation and water tanks and private water supplies as they relate to the installation of fire pumps and suppression

49、 systems. It also discusses both automatic standpipe systems, which, due to their high flow and pres-sure demands, usually require the assistance of a fire pump, and sprinklers, which are the most common type of system installed and in many configurations create a pressure demand that necessitates a fire pump. Part II includes requirements and guidance from NFPA 291, BK-NFPA-20HB16-150327-FM.indd 7 11/6/2015 7:20:29 PM2016 Stationary Fire Pumps Handb
