Q2
Use AS 2118.1-2017 to determine the hazard classification for a sprinkler system in building described below (for all areas of the building) and tabulate the design criteria including:
- the number of sprinkler heads assumed to activate in the area of operation,
- the activation temperature of the sprinklers,
- the minimum operating pressure for the sprinklers
- the discharge density
By calculation, determine the water storage requirements for the automatic fire sprinkler system (the size of the sprinkler tank). You may assume that the water supply to serve the fire hydrant system is required to have an effective capacity of 25,000 L. Use the attached pressure and flow inquiry results for details of the street main supply.
Determine the pressure required at outlet of pump. Assume that the pressure loss for pipes and elbows to distribute water from the riser to the hydraulic most disadvantaged point on each floor is 54 kPa.
