Fire Hydrant System
Fire Hydrant system is an effective and efficient means of extinguishing large fires, which can otherwise cause devastation. Hydrant system enables the fire fighter to attack the seat of the fire from a distance. Hydrant valves are outlets few delivering water with tremendous pressure so as to quench the fire. With discreet use of special branch pipe, the water under pressure can also be used as a "Sheet" to push the smoke for entering a building in flames.
Depending on the type of building i.e., residential, commercial or Industrial, a particular type of the hydrant systems i.e., Down corner system, Wet riser System or the Wet Riser cum Down corner system, is installed. These systems are designed as per Part IV of National building code for high rise buildings and / other standards laid down by the Traffic Advisory Committee.
The Pumping facility forms the heart of the fire Hydrant systems. Normally an electric motor driven and a stand by Diesel engine driven pumps, are installed to ensure system functioning even during mains failure. The pump is basically used to lift the water from the reservoir and deliver the same under pressure to the hydrant points for fighting fires. A jockey pump is also installed to make good minor pressure losses. The pump functions automatically and does not need monitoring. The main/stand-by pump starts automatically when a pressure loss is felt in the Hydrant line, but has to be switched off manually for obvious reasons. Hydrant valves are located a strategic point and with the help of hoses placed near these valves, water can be directed to fight fires.
