The diesel engine fire pump and the electric fire pump are “one standby and one use”. The control boxes of the diesel engine fire pump and the electric fire pump should be kept independent of each other, and the diesel engine fire pump must be used as the backup pump of the electric fire pump, and cannot be used as backup for each other.

The pump start signal in the fire extinguishing system is directly connected to the electric fire pump control box, and it is not suitable to be connected to the diesel engine fire pump control box at the same time. The pump start fault signal of the electric fire pump control box and the pump start signal in the fire extinguishing system are used as the automatic start pump start signal of the diesel engine fire pump control box, and the line is connected to the control box of the diesel engine fire pump. The pump start failure signal of the diesel engine fire pump control box received an alarm from the fire control center. After receiving the alarm, the authorized personnel rushed to the pump room to force the diesel pump to start in an emergency.

The diesel engine fire pump can form an automatic water fire water supply system with electric pumps and jockey pumps, and can be linked with the fire control center.
When the diesel engine fire pump set receives the starting command, if the mains power is cut off, the automatic control cabinet of the diesel engine will immediately send a start signal to the starting motor of the pump set, start the motor, start the diesel engine at idle speed, and then gradually adjust the throttle to accelerate the diesel engine until Rated speed. The control system will automatically monitor the operation of the diesel engine, such as the oil pressure, oil temperature, speed of the diesel engine, outlet pressure of the water pump, etc., and determine whether the diesel engine starts normally through automatic monitoring. If the start fails, the control system will send a restart signal, and if the three starts fail, the automatic control system will send a failure alarm. When the diesel engine fire pump set receives a signal that the pressure of the pipe network is restored or the mains power is restored to normal, the pump set will quickly slow down and stop automatically after monitoring the idle position for a period of time.

The full name of diesel engine fire pump is engineering diesel engine fire pump set, which can be automatically charged, automatically started, and has the functions of automatic alarm and automatic preheating. The diesel engine fire pump is usually used as a backup facility, so it will only start automatically when the fire signal comes, and when the electric water pump fails or the power supply is cut off. When it has a device for starting the pump at ultra-low pressure, its matching electric water pump control cabinet should also have a device for starting the pump at ultra-low pressure, and the lower limit of the two pumps should have a certain pressure difference.

The lower the pumping head of the fire pump, the smaller the motor load. Under the misleading of this kind of misunderstanding, when purchasing a water pump, the head of the water pump is often selected to be very high. In fact, for centrifugal water pumps, when the pump model is determined, the power consumption is proportional to the actual flow of the pump. The flow rate of the water pump will decrease with the increase of the head, so the higher the head, the smaller the flow rate and the smaller the power consumption. Conversely, the lower the lift, the greater the flow and the greater the power consumption. Therefore, in order to prevent the motor from overloading, it is generally required that the actual pumping head of the pump should not be lower than 60% of the calibrated head.

Fire pump package comprises a combination of electric motor driven pump, diesel engine driven pump and electric motor driven jockey pumps that supply for fire suppression systems.

Fire pumps and jockey pumps work together to ensure that a fire protection system is always ready to operate at peak efficiency. The jockey pump is primarily responsible for maintaining the system’s normal pressure, compensating for minor leaks, and preventing the fire pump from running unnecessarily. When a fire occurs, and a significant drop in pressure is detected due to water discharge from sprinklers or hoses, the fire pump is activated to provide the necessary water flow and pressure. This interaction ensures that the system operates efficiently, minimizing wear and tear on the fire pump while keeping the system primed and ready for an emergency.

Public transportation systems, including subway stations and railway terminals, are complex environments with high volumes of passengers and potential fire hazards from electrical equipment, flammable materials, and mechanical systems. Fire pumps are vital in these settings for delivering the water or suppression agents necessary to extinguish fires in tunnels, platforms, and adjacent facilities. Jockey pumps ensure constant pressure in the system, so fire suppression mechanisms like sprinklers, hydrants, and standpipes are always prepared to respond. Given the confined and underground nature of many transportation hubs, fire protection systems must be capable of addressing fires in tight, poorly ventilated spaces while facilitating the safe evacuation of passengers. The pumps also need to support fire hose connections for firefighters, who might need to cover long distances within tunnels or elevated railways. Regular inspections and emergency drills are essential to ensure that fire pumps are fully operational and integrated with ventilation and evacuation systems, providing a coordinated response to fire emergencies in these high-risk, densely populated environments.

In urban areas, where water supply systems may be complex and highly interconnected, fire pumps play a crucial role in ensuring resilience and reliability. These pumps help maintain adequate water pressure and flow across different zones within the city, especially during peak demand periods or in the event of a fire. Fire pumps are often integrated into municipal water systems, providing additional pressure support for firefighting efforts and ensuring that water can be delivered quickly to where it is needed most. In some cases, fire pumps are also used to support the overall stability of the water supply network by compensating for pressure drops caused by infrastructure issues or increased usage.
