Pump Equipment Centrifugal Pump Pressure Relief Valve/Governor Intake Relief Valve Transfer Valve Positive Displacement Primers Manual Pump Shift Gauges Auxiliary Cooler Centrifugal Pump Non-positive displacement pump Three factors influence pump discharge pressure 1) Incoming pressure, 2) Speed of the impeller, and 3) The amount of water being discharged Single or multi-stage NOT self-priming Cavitation Pressure Relief Valve/Governor Most common devices Set while discharging at operating pressure Set for highest operating pressure Pressure relief valve - diverts water Pressure governor - controls rpm Intake Relief Valve Also known as dump valve Protects pump from water hammer and excessive intake pressure Possibly capped during high pressure operations Piston intake relief valve Transfer Valve Multi-stage pump only Pressure (series) vs. Volume (parallel) Most operations in pressure mode 50% rule Change over @ 50 psi net pump pressure Positive Displacement Primers Required for drafting Most common - rotary vane Operate for no more than 45 seconds Priming oil Environmentally safe primers Manual Pump Shift Provides back-up Usually located on pump panel Often require two persons to operate Back-up throttle may have to be used Exercise manual shift often Gauges Compound gauge Master intake gauge (compound) Master discharge gauge Individual discharge gauge Engine gauges Auxiliary Cooler Allows water from pump to cool engine Use when temperature exceeds normal level Close when temperature returns to normal Keep in closed position Valves Main intake valve (suction)-keystone, piston, MIV Auxiliary intake valve ( 2 ? ) Tank-to-pump valve Tank fill valve Discharge valves Pump drain valve Discharge drain valve Intake drain valve Water Supply Booster Tank Sizes Tank-to-pump valve Use only one handline Obtaining positive source Refill as soon as possible Hydrant Operations Two types of hydrants Steamer should face street Blue reflectors assist in locating Color coded to main
