ty of a design it is required to check if the system is able to service the most hydraulically remote area (the most demanding area). If the design can fulfill this check then it is safe to assume it can service all other areas. When analyzing the design, the software will generate an error if there is no given Area of operation. It will locate the most hydraulically remote area and place an error in its location. From this position the user must generate an area of operation using this tool (the dimensions of which will be based on their calculations). Fire hose reels The Fire hose reels (FHRs) tool allows the user to activate FHRs in the design. They must first be defined in the General settings option and added using the tool in the Supply connections section. The properties of the FHR will be considered during the analysis if they are activated. 13 CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems User´s Manual Zone of influence This tool is used to create influence zones of seismic supports.

the installation and material quantities, as well as the export to FIEBDC-3 to obtain the bill of quantities. Figure 27 – Fastening Section Fastening Section (5 Minutes and 8 Seconds) Hanger The introduction of the supports can be carried out by loading the catalogue offered by default by CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems or by generating the user’s own catalogue of supports. If users opt to generate their own catalogue, a standard series of data has to be specified, to define the pear support:    Nominal diameter of the pipe to support Diameter of the threaded rod of the support Geometric data of the support Once the catalogue of supports has been defined, they are easily introduced. First the diameter of the pipe to support is defined, as is the material of the pipe and the distance between the supports that are going to be introduced. Then, all that must be done is to place them over the pipes and look through the individual checks of each support to ensure no errors exist.

With the data that has been introduced, CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems will perform checks on all the supports and display a report with the following checks:    Maximum distance between hangers: Depending on the nominal diameter and the material of the pipe, this separation could vary. Diameter of the hanger rod: Depending on the diameter of the pipe to be supported, the diameter of the threaded rod will vary. Nominal diameters: The program will ensure that the assembly being used is correct, avoiding large diameter pipes to be held by small supports. Figure 28 – Hanger Icon 17 CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems User´s Manual Seismic Supports To avoid the sprinkler systems from being damaged during an earthquake, the NFPA 13 code prescribes the use of seismic supports that resist the horizontal loads inflicted on the system.

e. The NFPA 13 code classifies the seismic supports into 3 groups and can be introduced in CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems from the “Support” menu of the toolbar:    Lateral support: Prevents movement in the direction perpendicular to the pipe. Longitudinal support: Prevents movement in the direction parallel to the pipe. 4-way support: Prevents movement in the 4 directions. Figure 29 – Lateral, Longitudinal, and 4-Way Seismic Support Icons Before introducing them, the main components of the seismic supports must be defined: fastenings, braces and anchors. Users can define, amongst other catalogues, the catalogues for fastenings, braces and anchors in the “General options” dialogue (“General options” menu of the toolbar). Standard catalogues, which are included in the program, can also be used and imported into projects to use directly or modify with user values.    Fastening: This is the element that holds the pipe to the brace. To define it, users must

simply complete the dimensions of this element for each fastening of the catalogue. Brace: This is the main element of the seismic support, consisting of a Schedule 40 pipe that has to resist the horizontal loads caused by the earthquake. To define it, users must introduce the length, diameter of the pipe and loads it can support at 30-44º, 45-59º and 60-90º. Anchor: The anchor is the part that keeps the support connected to the structure of the building. In this version of the program, the limits that have been applied are those of anchors to steel structures. In upcoming versions, anchors to timber or concrete structures will be added. To define them, the diameter of the anchorage bolt and load the anchor can resist for each type of assembly must be introduced. For CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems to be able to carry out the required checks on seismic supports, the field “Weight per unit length” has been added to the pipe catalogues of the sprinkler systems (General options > Pipes

catalogues) and the seismic coefficient Cp must be defined (General options > General data). Once all the aforementioned elements have been defined, users must introduce each support that is going to be used at its corresponding position and define its influence zone, i.e. all the pipe spans that are to be held by each seismic support. With the data indicated above, CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems will ensure all the necessary checks are complied with for each type of support. The program generates the report required by the NFPA 13 code. 18 CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems User´s Manual 6.5 Reference Drawings Section The Reference drawings section contains two tools that allow users to define sprinkler installations with different installation planes, horizontal and sloped (such as sprinkler systems parallel to sloped roofs) more quickly and comfortably.

s users to quickly define a reference plane of the installation by introducing its outline, a reference and a height above the level of the floor that is currently being viewed. Users can define as many planes as they wish. Sprinklers and pipes that are to be placed in one of the planes that has been defined, must have the “Place the element in the reference plane of the installation” option marked (an option of the panel that opens when a pipe or sprinkler is introduced) and then position them in the desired plane. Figure 31 – New Reference Plane of the Drawing Icon Points of the Reference Drawing Using this option, users can define sloped reference planes. A horizontal reference plane must first be defined using the previous option. Then, using the “Points of the drawing” option, three points are to be marked on the reference plane, indicating their elevation, which will define the corresponding sloped plane.
