What are you estimating? If you are doing maintenance and draining the radiator you can't let anti-freeze go into the sanitary sewer system, you have to capture it and dispose of it properly. So unless the installation has the floor drain tying into a process waste system, the drain is just

Basically you're flowing water from pump discharge through a prv cooling manifold and dumping it down the drain. Depends on engine and other stuff like cooling loop size, etc. Clarke has some good info on flow rates with or without inter or aftercoolers. TD If it has a radiator, it's a closed

If it has a radiator, it's a closed loop system correct? So, what's the capacity of the cooling system? If you emptied it out onto the floor like a bucket, methinks any size floor drain can handle it. Steve Original message From: "Easter, Timothy"

Tim, Most diesel engine driven fire pumps use a water cooled heat exchanger to cool the engine coolant. Need to check with pump/engine manufacturer for the heat exchanger flow rates. If it has a radiator then it is a closed loop and should not be discharging into a floor drain. Have a fire safe
