Generator Pump Selection
• 7 gph per 100KW = GPH• GPH x # gensets = GPH Total • GPH total x 4 = transfer
pump size

Boiler Pump Selection
• 30gph per 100 BHP = GPH• GPH x # boilers = GPH total• GPH total x 2.5 – 3 to
accommodate boiler mounted pump total flow
Typical boiler system selection

Typical System w Boiler Pumps
• Boiler Mounted pump limitations• Tight pump suction limits; 15”hg – 3psi• Boiler pump single point of failure• Boiler pumps requires 2.5-3 times flow rate
(sometimes 10-15x more) from transfer pump

Pump Types
• Match the pump to the application• Suction or pressure type
SUCTION PUMP SET PRESSURE (submersible) PUMPS
![Page 13: Pumping Systems and Day Tanks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816690550346895dda674d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pump Sets
• Submersible Pumps
13
• Pro• Submerged suction• Simple single tank
systems• Simple installation
• Con• Pressurized in-ground piping• Limited sizes• Difficult maintenance• Unmanned spaces• Piping Monitoring• Complicated multi-tank
redundant systems
![Page 14: Pumping Systems and Day Tanks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816690550346895dda674d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Pressure Pump System
• Redundancy• Each tank must have
redundant pumps
![Page 15: Pumping Systems and Day Tanks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816690550346895dda674d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pump Sets
• Suction Pumps
15
• Pro• Buried piping under
suction• Ease of maintenance• Simpler multi tank
systems• Simple installation
• Con• Limited suction ability• Additional floor space
![Page 16: Pumping Systems and Day Tanks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816690550346895dda674d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Suction Pump System
• Redundancy• A single duplex pump
set satisfies redundancy requirement
![Page 17: Pumping Systems and Day Tanks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816690550346895dda674d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Suction Pump Set Options• High Pressure 100psi • Low Pressure <50 psi
