Fire and Water Pump Application

Not just fire fighting but a reliable help in emergency

In spite of installed fire pumps, several locations, be they industrial complexes, manufacturing facilities, multi-storeyed buildings, storage warehouses, godowns, theatres, shopping complexes, etc. are unable to attend to fire emergencies due to any one of the following reasons

  • Electricals = Cables / Panels damage during fire & prevent the pump from starting.
  • Pumps are not well maintained & fail to start during the fire emergencies.
  • Plain diesel fire pump may even start, but not run long enough in fire emergencies due to lack of fresh air (exhaust & blower fans may not work).
  • The pump room area is dark, not well lit up and not accessible.
  • Emergency lights, fire lifts etc. do not work.

PLURODRIVE is a perfect answer to the above woes.

Sets are available in different configurations up to 1100 BHp.

Following will throw more light on the PLURODRIVE fire pump sets. However, for any further information please feel free to contact us.

We have developed a multi possibility power transmission device –PLURODRIVE, One can run a fire pump and/or a power alternator independently by the PLURODRIVE with a single diesel engine.

The combined set (i.e. Fire pump cum DG set connected through PLURODRIVE) will have several obvious advantages, over dedicated generating sets or dedicated fire pumpsets.

Working of a generating set is directly reflected on production, comfort and many plant activities. Obviously, the set which is generating power gets proper attention on a day to day basis and is always well maintained! We decided to impart upon the fire pump this inherent quality of the power generator, so combined a power generator to the fire pump.

Because of the PLURODRIVE and Power alternator attached to the diesel engine, the diesel engine is kept in good running condition. It is thus always ready to perform its main function as a fire fighting unit.

The attendants and staff are also more familiar with the running and starting behavior of the engine and thus will be able to start it more quickly in a fire emergency.

Diesel Engine Driven Pump with Power Alternator

Apart from the above reliability factor it is obvious that the combined set has following advantages

  • Lower capital cost
  • Space saving, all in one room or a single trolley or base.
  • Lower spares cost
  • Lower maintenance cost
  • Lower installation cost
  • When the set is run for periodic trial and test, one is also generating power, this power can be utilized and engine rating also gets tested. If one works out the cost saving in this system one realizes that within a couple of years one will get one’s return on investment apart from the additional plus point of reliability. In dedicated fire pumps one is spending on diesel, lube oil and water with no productive output while performing periodic trials.
  • The PLURODRIVE Sim-alt set not only gives water for fire fighting but also useful electricity for emergency supplies.

We have supplied PLURODRIVE sets for various applications to a number of prestigious clients and are sure that this product will be of immense use to any organization.

P.S.

  • Some sample set specifications are indicated for your kind perusal.
  • We have an entire range from 25 KVA to 800 KVA and different types / sizes of fire pumps.

Following is a sample specification of a 133 Hp.[100KVA] PLURODRIVE fire pump set. We have an entire range from 25 to 1100 Hp.

Cost/benefit analysis, when one installs an alternator along with fire pump, is briefly shown herewith.

SCOPE OF SUPPLY

Pump, Diesel engine, Alternator and Drive as mentioned above, M. S. Fabricated base plate for mounting all above and Control panel for alternator. One can now run the equipment as under

Option 1

Run Pump with the engine to get 108 M3/Hr at 120 mts. head. Simultaneously, one can also get about 30 KVA power from the alternator with the pump working at 108 M3/Hr at 120 mts. head.

Thus when there is a fire emergency, one can also have the facility of running emergency lights and other emergency equipment as required i.e. a one point emergency response. The power output during fire emergency is 30 KVA for the above set. However, the same can be increased or decreased as per specific need and engine, pump and alternator ratings can be changed accordingly.

Option 2

Pump to give 108 M3/Hr at 120 mts. head when alternator is idle

Option 3

Run only engine and both the driven equipments are idle. This is a distinct advantage offered by PLURODRIVE facilitating easy checking of the equipments, before / after maintenance.

Option 4

Alternator to give 100 KVA power when pump is idle

Note : Genset Power ratings are as per IS10002 / BS5514

P.S. : Output from alternator in option1 and option 4 will depend upon engine capacity and condition.

ANNUAL SAVINGS / ANNUAL EXPENDITURE

  • When one installs any Generator or Diesel Engine, to maintain it in good running condition one has to run the set for about 3.5 hours a week.
  • For the subject pump engine capacity required is 133 HP.
  • In a 133 HP Diesel Engine the fuel cost works out to 3.5 (number of hours per week) x 52 (weeks per year) x 14 (litres of fuel per hour) x Rs. 60 (cost of diesel per liter) = 152,900/= on fuel costs alone.

Apart from this, one spends about Rs. 30,000/= on ;

  • Spares
  • Lube oil
  • Consumables
  • Maintenance and other costs.
    So, the yearly spending is approximately Rs. 182,900/=

This is an expenditure with no return.

If one attaches 100 KVA alternator to the engine then one is getting productive output apart from the additional facility created and the reliability factor.

Note: The information on fuel consumption, fuel cost, number of running hours, engine HP, etc. given herein and above is based on current data of some reputed engine manufacturer, current prices, our experience and is only indicative. Please verify from Your sources, actual figures will vary depending upon usage, site conditions, etc. Fuel consumption is for 75% of engine loading.
