Fire-fighting equipments
APPLICATIONSCurrently there are two different fire-fighting equipments: those for the supply of installations containing extinguishing elements through sprinkles (ROC), manufactured under the standard UNE-12.845, and those for equipped fire hydrants (BIE) or standpost hydrants (CHE), manufactured under current standard UNE-23.500:2012.In addition, the equipments can also be assembled under the Technical Regulation CEPREVEN RT2- ABA, valid for any possible extinguishing combination. Despite not being considered as a national mandatory rule, it was the normative model while there was not a
clear legislation in this sector.
COMPONENTSMain pump: must be activated in case of fi re and can only be stopped manually. This pump must be capable to propel minimum 140% of the nominal fl ow at a pressure not lower than 70% of the nominal pressure.Booster pump: same hydraulic characteristics as the main pump, electrical or diesel, its installation is needed when a back-up power supply is demanded due to the installations characteristics.Jockey pump: it is used to keep the fi re-fi ghting equipment pressurized, balancing out the possible leaks in the installation avoiding the start up of the main pump. It starts and stops through a signal from the pressure switch, adjusted between two pressure values.Electric switchboards according to constructive standards for the start and control of the pumps.Check and shut-off valves in every pump.Wide size range of general discharge manifolds.Pressure switch for manoeuvre.Pressure switch and safety valve for carried escape.Galvanized sheet base plate.24 liters HASABOX changeable membrane tank, stamped at a pressure higher than the maximum pressure of the circuit.Glycerin manometer.Sample manifold with insertion fl owmeter (optional).All equipments are provided assembled over base plates and in-factory electrically tested.
