Pump 13 Flashcards
The ($$$$$) also called the supply pumper is that pumper connected to the water supply at the beginning of the relay operation, if should be the engine with the largest pump capacity.
Source pumper.
The ($$$$$) some times referred to as the in line pumper, is a pump or pumpers connected within the relay that receives water from the source pumper or another relay pumper, boosts the pressure, and then supplies water to the next apparatus in the relay.
Relay pumper
The ($$$) is the engine or other pumping apparatus located at the fire scene that will be receiving water from the relay and supplying attack lines and appliances as needed for fire suppression.
Attack pumper
($$$$$$) also called relay relief valves re intended to enhance fire fighter safety and reduce the possibility of damage to the pump and discharge hose lines caused by water hammer when valves are classed to quickly.
Intake pressure relief valves
Not all intake pressure relief valves are adjustable those that are should be set within ($$$$) of the static pressure of the water system supplying the pumper or ($$$$$) above the discharge pressure of the previous pump in the relay.
10 psi
10 psi
Hose should be pumped at pressure that do not exceed ($$$$) of the annual service test pressure.
90%
The ($$$$$$$) method involves flowing a predetermined volume of water for the maximum distance that it can be pumped through a particular hose lay.
Maximum distance relay-method
All fire department pumpers are rated to flow their maximum volume at ($$$$$$), 70% of their max volume at ($$$$$). And 50% at ($$$)
150 psi
200 psi
250 psi
Total number of pumpers needed
Relay distance + 1 = total pumpers needed
A second type of relay pumping ovation that fire departments might use is the($$$$$) . This relay method provides the maximum flow available from a particular relay setup by using constant pressure in the system
Constant pressure relay
A relay operation always begins with the ($$$$$$).
Source pumper
If equipped with the newer and most sensitive pressure governors, the attack pumper should be set in ($$$$$$) mode while all other in the relay should be set in ($$$$) mode
Pressure mode
Rpm
Relay operations should be shut down from the($$$$) first
