Can the oil storage tank in the diesel fire pump room be installed in a room? Thank you.
It is possible, but the diesel engine’s ventilation, exhaust, and flame arrestment systems must be properly installed, and the total volume of the fuel tank must not exceed 1 cubic meter.
No, isolation is required; the fire safety inspection may not be passed
The regulations require that oil tanks be buried underground whenever possible; they must be separated from the diesel engine room by firewalls, and overflow and leakage prevention facilities are necessary. Rooms in other areas that have automatic sprinkler systems also need such facilities.
Sure. The proportion of storage area for Class C oils determines the fire resistance rating.
This seems to be a regulation regarding the oil allocation inside the factory building.
It’s possible. The view on the 2nd floor is correct; as long as the appropriate measures are taken, it will work. Remember, a spray system is usually required for oil storage tanks
A diesel tank of less than 5 cubic meters is acceptable
There are many cases where diesel tanks are installed inside factory buildings; as long as their volume is less than 5 cubic meters, no regulatory requirements apply, and they are treated merely as auxiliary equipment.
I believe that the oil storage tank in a diesel fire pump room should not be located in the same room. According to building codes, if such a fire pump room is situated within a residential building, then, similar to the case of diesel generator or fuel boiler rooms, a separate oil storage area must be provided, separated from the pump room by a fire wall with a fire resistance rating of at least 3.00 hours; moreover, the amount of oil stored there cannot exceed 1 cubic meter. If this fire pump room is located within the factory. Therefore, similar to the case of the intermediate storage tank, a separate oil storage room must also be established, separated from the pump room by fire walls with a fire resistance rating of no less than 3.00 hours, and the amount of oil stored there shall not exceed 5 cubic meters.
In my opinion, the layout of diesel storage areas should be determined in accordance with Article 3.3.7 of the GB50016-2014 (2018 edition) Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings: Storage tanks for Class C liquids within a factory should be located in separate rooms, and their capacity should not exceed 5 m3. The room in which the intermediate storage tank is located should be separated from other areas by fire-resistant partition walls with a fire resistance rating of not less than 3.00 hours and floors with a fire resistance rating of 1.50 hours; the door to this room should be a Class A fire door.
