When fire breaks out, the greatest saving to life and property depends upon fast effective action. For buildings over 60 metres in height this primary fire-fighting requires, in addition to first-aid hose reels, a wet riser pumping system to give the necessary lift needed to reach the higher floors.
Fast Action
Armstrong Wet Riser Pumping Systems are designed to meet customers' specific requirements and to provide the reliability needed in emergency situations. The Wet Riser Sets incorporate the best pumps for the job, dependable controls and all the necessary pipework and valves on a common baseplate quality engineering for complete peace of mind.
Operation
Operation of the set is effected by a fall in system pressure. The pressure vessel provides a positive energy source to the system and a small supply of water to prevent operation of the pumps in the event of small leakage within the system. A jockey pump is used to keep the system pressurised. Control is effected by a pressure switch and minimum run timer. If the jockey pump fails to maintain pressure, the selected duty pump will be activated by its pressure switch. While a flow of more than 4.5 l/s is detected by the flow switch the duty pump will remain in operation. The control panel provides for automatic changeover to the standby pump in any event where the selected pump cannot maintain the required pressure. The set is provided with an integral test line and is fitted with the test valves that are required by the Fire Authorities. When two electrically-driven pumps are supplied, only one supply to the control panel on the set is provided for. Automatic changeover of the electric supplies must be dealt with elsewhere. Where a diesel-engine driven pump forms part of the set, an additional pressure switch and flow switch provide automatic control in conjunction with the DC supply from the engine batteries.
