Abstract

This paper analyzed firefighting officers' use situations such as the use time, maximum working pressure, hose diameter, etc. of fire pumps at fire sites and carried out various performance tests by pressures, hose diameters and quantities of fire pumps based on its results because the waterproof performance criterion for a fire pump installed in a fire engine is different from the operation situations at the site and is not clearly prescribed. As a result of site survey, the site uses a higher pressure than the standard water discharge pressure (0.85 MPa) or the high-pressure water discharge pressure (1.4 MPa) prescribed by the approval Standard of the fire pump performance on fire truck. In addition, as a result of pump performance test, the discharged water flow rate, water discharge pressure, etc. was measured to be very different from the currently prescribed the approval standard depending on the hose diameter and firefighting nozzle, so the result of this study proposes a new standard.

소방차에 설치되는 소방펌프에 대한 방수성능 기준이 현장에서 운용하고 있는 실태와 상이한 부분이 있고, 기준이 명확하게 규정되어 있지 않아 소방공무원이 화재현장에서 소방펌프의 사용시간, 최대사용압력, 사용 호스 직경 등 사용 실태를 분석하고, 그 결과를 토대로 소방펌프에 대한 압력별, 호스 직경별 수량별로 다양하게 성능시험을 실시하였다. 현장조사 결과, 소방자동차용 소방펌프의 성능에 관한 인정기준에서 규정하고 있는 규격방수압력(0.85MPa)과 고압방수압력(1.4 MPa)보다 현장에서는 더 높은 압력을 사용하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 펌프의 성능시험 결과는 방수량 및 방수압력 등이 호스의 직경, 관창에 따라 현재 규정하고 있는 인정기준과 매우 상이하게 측정되었으며, 본 연구 결과로 새로운 규격을 제안한다.
