bloudup008 · Jan 26, 2008

Is it advicable to install a pump control valve on the discharge of a diesel driven fire pump to control surge(Claval type, slow opening / closing valve) to prevent damage to the sprinklers?

Is it further recommended to install PRV on the branch lnes to the sprinklers?

Is above measures in order with NFPA?

What is other options to control water surge on a diesel pump?
