There are many types of fire-fighting equipment, fire hydrants and fire extinguishers are a common category, and there is also a category of fire pumps, which can be described as the heart of the fire-fighting system and play an important role in pressurising the water supply for the fire-fighting system. Among the many fire pump products, fire pumps can be divided into multi-stage and single-stage fire pumps.

Multi-stage pumps have high efficiency, corrosion resistance, reliable operation and other properties, strong bearing capacity of the pump body, strong resistance to overload and more sensitive start. Ltd. introduces you to the relevant features of multi-stage pumps. First of all, Shanghai Xizhiquan multi-stage pumps have a compact structure, with small spacing between parts and small volume. The equipment runs smoothly, has a long service life and produces less vibration during operation, so the practical life of the equipment is correspondingly long.

With its unique structure, the direction of the water inlet and outlet can be adjusted according to different needs, so it is suitable for various place environments. The direction of the inlet and outlet is horizontal, which reduces the number of bends in the pipeline connection, thus simplifying the pipeline connection and greatly enhancing the efficiency of the fire fighting system.

The efficient operation of the multistage pump is used in many larger, more demanding fire-fighting locations. Its role is mainly to play a role in the fire fighting pipeline system to pressurise and send water, multi-stage pumps are not only suitable for all kinds of fire fighting systems, but also for industrial drainage, high-rise building water pressure supply, long-distance water delivery, water circulation pressure and other occasions.

Suction and Discharge Connections: The fire pump has dedicated suction and discharge connections for the water supply and the distribution system, respectively. The suction connection draws water from a water source such as a reservoir or hydrant, while the discharge connection delivers the pressurized water to the fire protection system.

Strategies for Efficiency:
Use High-Efficiency Motors: Opt for UL-listed motors with lower energy losses.
Optimize System Piping: Reduce friction losses by using larger-diameter pipes and minimizing bends.
Implement Smart Monitoring Systems: Track pump run times and prevent unnecessary cycling.
Consider VFD Integration: Where permitted, VFDs can help optimize power usage.

As the core component of a fire protection system, the performance of fire pumps directly affects fire suppression efficiency. To ensure optimal performance, we maintain strict control over every stage, from design and manufacturing to installation and maintenance.

In the design phase, we utilize advanced fluid dynamics technology to optimize the pump structure, minimizing energy loss and maximizing water flow efficiency. The carefully designed impeller and flow channels enable the pump to maintain stable operation under high pressure while reducing noise and vibration, thereby extending its service life.

During the manufacturing process, we select high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and ductile iron to ensure durability in harsh environments. Precision machining and rigorous quality inspections guarantee that every fire pump meets industry standards before leaving the factory.

Proper installation is equally critical. Our professional team develops the best installation plan based on the site environment, ensuring tight pipe connections, smooth water flow, and stable electrical control system operation. The integration of intelligent control systems allows for automatic start-stop functions and remote monitoring, significantly improving response speed and operational convenience.

Finally, regular maintenance and inspection are essential for long-term efficiency. Our comprehensive after-sales services include routine inspections, spare parts replacement, and remote troubleshooting, ensuring the pump remains in peak condition.

Through scientific design, high-quality manufacturing, expert installation, and thorough maintenance, our fire pumps provide reliable fire protection solutions, helping to build highly efficient and secure fire suppression systems.

EDJ series fire pump set consists of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump and all accessories.
Pump – ISO Horizontal end suction pump
The three pumps are automatically started and stopped. When the joceky pump detects that the electric pump cannot operate normally, the diesel engine pump will start automatically. Can also be used, the fire pump set is widely used in various emergency firefighting occasions.

The fire pump group is composed of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump. The conventional electric pump is the main pump, and the diesel pump is the backup pump. The jockey pump plays a role in the stabilization of the whole system. When the electric pump fails or When the mains is cut off, the control cabinet will receive the signal from the electric contact pressure gauge and start the diesel engine pump within 5 seconds, and reach the rated working condition within 20 seconds to ensure the normal firefighting work.

Electric fire pump: It is an important part of the fire water supply system. Divided into ordinary type and foam type. The ordinary type is used for general fire water supply; the foam type is equipped with an adjustable proportion mixer and a cam pump, which can deliver the mixed liquid to various foam launching devices to extinguish various oil fires. The electric fire pump consists of two parts, the motor and the pump. The pump and the motor are coaxial. The pump structure includes pump body, rotor, pump cover, mechanical seal and other components.

Diesel engine fire pumps are widely used in firefighting equipment due to their various advantages. Most firefighting equipment will choose to use this equipment, which has various automation functions and can be connected with other equipment according to customer needs.
