Asociatia de Standardizare din Romania, GENERAL INSTAL COMP. S.R.L., 02/12/2015 EN 12845:2015 (E) a) the systems shall be fully calculated; b) the supply shall be capable of supplying the sum of the simultaneous maximum calculated flows from each system. The flows shall be corrected up to the pressure required by the most demanding system; ‘c) the duration of the supply shall be no less than that required for the most demanding system; d) duplicate pipe connections shall be installed between the water supplies and the systems. 9,7 Isolation of water supply The connections between the water sources and sprinkler control valve sets shail be arranged so as to ensure the following: ‘@) that servicing of main components such as strainers, pumpsets, non-return valves and water meters is, facilitated; b) that any problem occurring to one supply shall not impair the operation of any other source or supply; c) that maintenance can be carried out on one supply without impairing the operation of any other source or supply. 10 Pumps 10.1 General Pumps shall be driven either by electric motors o required to conform to the following: for pumps with non-overloading power characteristic curves, the maximum power required at the peak of the power curve; b) for pumps with rising power characteristic curves, the maximum power for any conditions of pump toad, from zero flow to a flow corresponding to a pump NPSH required equals to 16 m or maximum suction static head plus 11 m, whichever is greater. The coupling between the driver and the pump of pumpsets shall be of @ type which ensures that either can be removed independently and in such a way that pump internals can be inspected or replaced without affecting suction or discharge piping. End suction pumps shall be of the ‘back pull-out’ type. Pipes shall be supported independently of the pump, 10.2 Multiple pump arrangements Pumps shall have compatible characteristic curves and be capable of operating in parallel at all possible flow rates. Where two pumps are installed, each one shall be capable independently of providing the specified flows and pressures. Where three pumps are installed, each pump shall be capable of providing at least 50 % of the specified flow at the specified pressure Where more than one pump is installed in a superior or duplicate water supply, no more than one shall be driven by an electric motor 87
