Is it from the casing relief valve? Do you have a description or diagram?
What size is it?

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.

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.

Only those two pictures. The project is out of state, and I have no access
to site.
It maybe the casing relief valve.

Thanks for your help.

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
