Well, when we say fire hydrant systems, most people think about water pressure, hose reels, pumps, and hydrants outside the building. But there’s one more thing that matters, at least in cold areas: the heat loss.
If you don’t control heat loss, the water inside of the pipes can freeze, and once pipes freeze, hydrants won’t work in case of an emergency. So yeah, calculation of heat loss is really important.
Let’s break it down in a simple way.
