3 Schutte & Koerting s TurboDraft fire Eductor allowsfire departments to tap into water supplies like lakes, ponds,streams, and rivers, etc. at a distance of up to 200' or more. Usablefire flows of 670 gpm or more may be achieved dependent uponhose layout and elevation SETUPW eighing only 48 lbs., the 5-inch TurboDraft fire Eductor can easilybe put into service with minimal personnel. Setup is quick andsimple utilizing standard fire service hose lines. Once the 21 2" feedline and 5" LDH return line are connected, the TurboDraft isdeployed into the static source. (See Figure 1)TURBODRAFT OPERATIONOnce the TurboDraft fire Eductor has been deployed it can bequickly placed into service.

4 The inlet suction valve of the pumpingengine is left closed and its air bleeder is opened. The 21 2" line ischarged using water from the onboard water tank. The force of thisflow combined with TurboDraft eductor technology creates asuction that draws water from the static source. As this happens,the large diameter hose (LDH) is charged back to the pump suctionvalve. After the air is bled from the LDH, the bleeder valve is closedand the intake valve is opened. At this point the water supply hasbeen established. 200 gpm is re-circulated through the pump tomaintain a continuous flow without the need of the onboard watertank. The balance of the drafted water is now available to supplyhand lines, hose lays, or to fill tanker/tender operations.

5 Usableflows will vary based on elevation and hose friction loss.

Actual usable water supply will be determined bydischarge line loss and elevation differences between water sourceand pump BUtilize a portable pump or truck mount pump (minimum rating of200 gpm @ 150 psi) to supply the TurboDraft fire Eductor.

Access to a water source is more than 30 feet and typical drafting techniques cannot be implemented2. Due to congestion at the fire scene, portable tanks for tanker delivery need to be set up at remotelocationSolution COne or more TurboDraft units operating to fill a portable tankallowing pumper to have access with hard suction hose. TurboDraftlines are directed into tank while pumper drafts to supply the unitsas well as the fire ground or to fill can be used in conjunction with a portable pump toprovide constant flow between remote tanks and fire scene supplytank.

7 Flow from the remote tanks can be controlled by a gate valvein the 5" or 6" supply line. If discharge line is blocked, supply lineflow is discharged into portable tank and Flood mitigation and water transferTURBODRAFT2-1/2"5" or 6" LDHT urboDraft can also be employed in emergency flood s ability to transfer large volumes of water in a short amount of time makes it a critical piece of equipment for dewatering basements and other low-lying areas where water TECHNOLOGYS chutte & Koerting eductors have been used in thousandsof industrial applications for more than a century. Theyemploy the venturi principle to create flow and increasepressure.

8 Eductors use the kinetic energy of one liquid to create motion in a second liquid. With no moving partsto break, eductors are one of the most reliable technologiesever water eductors for fire fighting have been standardequipment on many Navy ships since WWII.

9 Use larger pumper where maintenance/ performance is available flow from a water source recognized by ISO for grading purposes is 250 GPM. ISO does not recognize drafting sources requiring a liftin excess of 18' (This is not a drafting device as it operates under pressure.)Although the TurboDraft was designed with the rural firedepartment in mind, large municipal departments can alsoutilize the TurboDraft eductor technology. The majority ofcity-based departments are generally not equipped fornon-hydrant water supply operations. During natural orman-made emergencies municipal water supply systemscan be rendered useless.
