Note:
1) P1 – Inflation pressure of the diaphragm tank (required fire pressure) (MPa);
P2 – Fire pump start pressure (MPa);
Ps1 – Booster–stabilizing pump start pressure (MPa);
Ps2 – Booster–stabilizing pump stop pressure (MPa).
2) Items No.1–6 are Type I Units, generally installed in high-level tank rooms (most unfavorable hydrant lower than the Unit).
3) Items No.7–21 are Type II Units, generally installed in fire pump rooms or water tank rooms. The corresponding fire pressure ranges and matched pumps are for selection reference.

Operating Manual

1. Product Overview

This Booster Pressure Stabilizing Equipment is designed and developed according to the Ministry of Construction of the People’s Republic of China’s [1996] 108 document from August 1996, in compliance with the specifications of 98S205 (formerly 98S176).

This equipment is specifically designed to address the issue of high-level fire water tanks in temporary high-pressure fire water supply systems where the set height does not meet the required conditions. It provides a specialized booster pressure stabilizing solution for firefighting applications (hereinafter referred to as “the equipment”).

This equipment is suitable for firefighting and domestic water supply systems, such as fire hydrant water supply systems and wet automatic sprinkler systems, in multi-story and high-rise construction projects requiring pressurization facilities.

2. Equipment and Principle

The equipment consists of an SQL air pressure water tank, XBD-GDL multi-stage fire hydrant pump, electrical control cabinet, instruments, pipeline accessories, and other components.

The design adheres to the technical standards outlined in the “Fire Protection Design Code for Civil Buildings” (GB50045-95) and the “Air Pressure Water Supply Design Code” (CECS76:95).

The working principle of this equipment is to control the pump operation by setting the P1, P2, Ps1, and Ps2 operating pressures, thereby achieving both pressure boosting and stabilization functions.

3. P1 Pressure Control

The required firefighting pressure, P1, at the adverse points in the system is calculated and serves as the charging pressure for the air pressure water tank. Based on this, P2, Ps1, and Ps2 are set to control the operation of the pressure-stabilizing pump.

The calculation of firefighting pressure P1 varies depending on the system type (such as fire hydrant systems or automatic sprinkler systems). This includes pipe system pressure losses along the route and at specific points, as well as the pressure required by the water nozzle.

4.Functions & Electrical Control

The equipment must fulfill two primary functions:

  1. To maintain the required firefighting pressure at the adverse points in the fire water supply system.

  2. To ensure that the air pressure water tank always stores enough firefighting water for 30 seconds. The equipment operates by controlling the pump using set pressures (P1, P2, Ps1, Ps2) to achieve pressure boosting and stabilization.

The electrical control system has both automatic and manual functions, is networked with the fire control center or fire pump room, and supports the alternating operation of two pressure-stabilizing pumps.

The system also includes a maintenance mode, allowing seamless switching between pumps if one fails, ensuring continuous operation of the equipment.

5. Equipment and Maintenance

The equipment is available in various configurations: mounted top (I), mounted bottom (II), vertical (L), and horizontal (W) types, which can be selected based on specific needs.

Firefighting systems can be configured with fire hydrant systems (X), automatic sprinkler systems (Z), or a combination of both (XZ).

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure reliable long-term operation. After approximately 2500 hours of operation, the equipment should undergo periodic inspection, with key components such as seals, oil seals, and shaft sleeves being replaced as necessary.
