THE STUDY OF THE HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS OF HOSE SYSTEMS WITH THE CAPACITY OF MORE THAN 100 L/S
The tactical-and-technical characteristics of modern hose-pump complexes of high efficiency are considered. The description of a test complex intended for researching of hydraulic characteristics of technical facilities for supply of large volume of fire extinguishing substances (OTV) is provided. There are given the experiment results according to hydraulic hose parameters with capacity of more than 100 l/s. As a conclusion, pump and hose complexes including hoses with DN 250-300 can provide the discharge of OTV demanded for the elimination of fires at energy facilities.
