02 - Automatic Sprinkler System Design Calculations

This document summarizes the design of an automatic sprinkler system for an underground parking garage. Key details include: - The parking garage is 1 level underground and has an overall height of 3 meters. - The hazard group classification is Ordinary Hazard Group 2. - A 105 cubic meter water storage tank with dimensions of 15.5 x 5.9 x 3 meters will provide sufficient water for the sprinkler system. - Hydraulic calculations were performed to ensure pipe sizing and layout would provide adequate water pressure and flow to sprinkler heads. - A primary electrical pump and secondary diesel pump were selected to meet the required 1000 liter per minute flow rate and head pressures up to

PEKLINE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYTEM DESIGN

Source: The RULES of the FIRE OFFICES’ COMMITTEE for AUTOMATIC


SPRINKLER INSTALLATIONS 29th EDITION
Location: Undergrond car parking (Basement)

Description: Parking space,1 levels

Height: Assuming floor to floor height to be 3m, Total height will be3metres

Hazard group classification: Ordinary hazard group 2 (OH2)

Water storage:
Based on the floor height requiring automatic sprinkler system, OH2-
15 meters has been selected according to the table.The sprinkler tank
design capacity is 105 cubic meters

Estimated tank on the drawing: 15.5 x 5.9 x 3 meters height. Total


tank capacity 275 cibic meters. Therefore can confortably allow 120m3
for automatic sprinklers..

Suction pipe: 200mm diameter

Sprinkler layout: 1 Determination of sprinkler tank location and pump room


2 Sprinkler array arrangement i.e
Area of which can be coverage per OH2 Sprinkler
point is 12 sq meters. Usually, gird lines of 4
meters by 3 meters are used to dtermine the
sprinkler layout. Min area covered should be 9 sq
meters

Pipe sizing: Nominal pipe sizing in millimetres

Hydraulic calculation The size or sizes of the pipe work (including main distribution pipes and
of distribution pipe all risers) between the 16/18 sprinkler points at the extremities of
work systems at the highest level and the installation valves is to be
calculated hydraulically on the basis that with a rate flow of
1000lts/min the aggregate pressure loss due to friction must not
exceed 0.5bar.Reffered 0n table 4122.2 on page 68
