How is the fire pump selected? How is power calculated?
The commonly used fire pumps are single-stage centrifugal pumps and multi-stage centrifugal pumps; once the flow rate and head are known, it is possible to determine the required power

When selecting a fire pump, it is first necessary to calculate the amount of fire-fighting water required, the design flow rates for indoor and outdoor fire protection systems, the duration of use, as well as the diameter of the piping network. Based on these design parameters, flow rates and pressures are determined, after which the appropriate fire pump can be selected. XBD fire pumps are generally used.
What I mean is that fire protection design cannot be handled by a company on its own; it is necessary to hire a professional design firm to carry out the specialized design for fire protection. They will take care of aspects such as pump selection, pipeline network diagrams, the placement of fire hydrants, and the size of fire water tanks.
