Can pump equipment be installed on the roof of the factory building
Thread Content
Generally, pump equipment is installed on the ground, whether indoors or outdoors. However, the standard specifications do not explicitly state that pumps cannot be installed on floors or factory roofs. I would like to ask whether pump equipment can actually be installed on the roof of the factory building; if not, what are the reasons?
It is possible, as long as it meets the requirements for load-bearing strength and vibration resistance, and is easy to disassemble and maintain
Yes, many exhaust system pumps are located on the roof
How do you determine the net positive suction head available for the pump?
How do you determine the net positive suction head required for a mechanical pump? When the liquid level at the inlet is lower than that at the outlet, self-priming is necessary; otherwise, the pump will not be able to deliver fluid
Yes, if the roof deck has sufficient strength.
OP, what kind of pump is yours that needs to be placed on the roof?
It depends on the structural engineering team to decide whether it can be installed on the roof.
Yes, based on the pump’s design parameters, the civil structure designers can be tasked with carrying out the design verification
It’s not that it can’t be installed on the floor (roof), but it’s not recommended.
