What is a Diesel Fire Pump Exhaust System and Why is it Important?
Purpose:
A diesel fire pump exhaust system safely removes combustion gases (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides) and heat generated by the engine.
Key Components:
Exhaust Piping: Directs exhaust fumes outside the pump room.
Silencer/Muffler: Reduces noise levels for compliance with local regulations.
Heat Shields: Prevents overheating of surrounding equipment.
Flexible Joints: Allows for thermal expansion and vibration control.
Best Practices:
Ensure proper ventilation to prevent backpressure and heat buildup.
Comply with NFPA 20 and local emission regulations.
Use insulated exhaust pipes to protect nearby components.
