Hello sprinklerforum, I have a location where the boilers, domestic water pumps, backup generator and diesel fire pump are located in the same mechanical space. To make a long story short one of the boilers "blew out" a couple of bolts, The ensuing hot water spray was focused on the Fire Pump Controller.... When they got the water shut off and someone opened the door to the controller I was told the water was about 2 feet deep inside the controller (only a 6 inch lip at the bottom). Priced them a new fire pump controller, jockey pump controller, and air compressor. Jockey pump control 1 foot to the left and air compressor 6 inches to the right of the fire pump controller. NOW they want to energize the pump controllers and "see if they work" since they have had 2 days to "dry out". Can anyone site me the code references in the 2007 NFPA that does not allow leaving these items in service after this much internal water exposure? I am digging in the books now but have not found it yet.
Yes the electronics circuit boards toward the bottom of the FP control were under water. -- Best regards, Charles Thurston mailto:[email protected] Coastal Fire Protection _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
