    439-Sump Pit and Pump Capacity

    Uploaded by

    jibin
    The document provides calculations for sizing a sump pit in a parking garage based on potential sprinkler discharge. It estimates that 3 sprinkler heads could burst simultaneously discharging 3.6 liters/second total. With an additional 10% allowance for condensate, the required pump capacity is 7.2 liters/second. The sump pit will have 2 pumps, 1 duty and 1 standby, each with a capacity of 7.2 liters/second. The pump will run every 6 minutes to empty the pit and discharge the accumulated flow over that cycle. Dimensions and inverts are then provided for components connecting to the sump pit.

    PARKING SUMP PIT CALCULATION

    SUMP PIT

    Parking sump pits will be subjected to maximum discharge in the event of sprinkler breakage in the event of fire hence
    the sump pumps must be capable of pumping the incoming volume

    Fire to be present in 139 sq m area


    Sprinkler Coverage for ordinary hazard = 12 sq m
    For Ordinary hazard number of sprinklers in 139 sqm is 12
    Based on area density curve for ordinary hazard group-1- we have 0.15 gpm/ ft sq for 1500 sq ft ( 139 sq m)
    therefore total flow of 250 GPM to be discharged by 12 sprinklers
    Therefore flow through each sprinkler 1.2 L/s
    No. of Sprinkler Heads bursting = 3
    1 Sprinkler head flow = 1.200 L/s
    Therefore: = 3.60 L/s
    All Sprinkler head flow
    simultaneously = 3.60 L/s

    Total Flowrate = 3.60 L/s

    Say = 3.6 L/s


    = 216 L/min

    PARKING SUMP PIT CALCULATION

    Sump Pit Sizing- ( Note Pump runs for 6mins alternate intervals hence 5 starts per hour)
    Allowance for
    Sewage Flow Sprinkler Condensate Retention Volume
    Flow Discharge Total flow Drain (10%) Time Collected Pumping Outflow Pressure Pipe
    Reference Reference DU L/s L/s L/s L/s mins Dimensions (m) Time Required Size
    2nd Basement Sump Pit SP-W-2 0 0.0 3.60 3.60 0.00 6.00 1.30 1.50 1.5 2.1 6 7.20 75

    Hence Sump Pit Will have 2 Nos Pumps 1 Duty+ 1 Standby each of 7.20 L/s

    ( Note 3.6 L/s will be retained in first 6 mins, then pump will start and run for next 6 mins, during this time also there will be inflow to the pit, so pump will have to discharge 7.2 L/s to empty the pit. The Cycle will start again

    SP-W-2
    Assuming that the pump shall run every 6 mins. m
    Depth of Farthest Parking drain/ Catch Basin -0.40 m
    Maximum run of pipe 45.00 m
    Maximum drop in pipe invert -0.50 m
    Sand Trap
    Invert of Pipe connecting to Sand Trap -0.90 m
    Invert level at Bottom of Sand trap (600 mm below) -1.50
    Sewage/ Sump Pit
    Invert of Pipe connecting to Sum Pit -1.10
    HL switch position of the pit -1.30 m
    Depth of Waste Column -0.60 m
    LL switch position of the pit -1.90 m
    Pit Depth -2.10
    Range for Pump to Operate 0.60 m
