FIRE FIGHTING APPLICATION CHALLENGES
1. Access to a water source is more than 30 feet and typical drafting techniques cannot be implemented
Solution A
By stretching a 2 1/2" supply line and a 5" or 6" return line, usable water supply of 600 GPM or more can be achieved at a distance of over 100 feet. Actual usable water supply will be determined by discharge line loss and elevation differences between water source and pump suction.
Solution B
Utilize a portable pump or truck mount pump on a field truck to supply the TurboDraft Fire Eductor. Achieve usable fire flows of 800 GPM or more.
Solution C
Small portable pumps can be operated in parallel to support the 200 GPM supply requirement and achieve 800+ GPM usable water supply.
Solution D
Permanently install TurboDraft at the base of a dry hydrant to overcome friction and elevation losses to increase dry hydrant output. Fire flows at elevations up to 40' can be achieved.
