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 day.
Regards
Jim

Subject: diesel fire pump radiator gpm
How to estimate the GPM for radiator blowoff (diesel fire pump, YES it
has a radiator :)) so we can confirm the floor drain pipe will handle
it?
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
