Can fire pumps be used for water supply in non-firefighting situations?

The electric pump and diesel engine pump of this set of fire pump equipment use ISO pump, the jockey pump adopts CDL pump, the three fire pumps automatically start and stop, and the diesel engine pump is the backup pump. This set of fire pump equipment is not affected by the mains, can work even without electricity, and can be used in any emergency firefighting occasions.

A fire pump is part of the water supply for a fire sprinkler system and is powered by electricity, diesel or steam. It uses water from an external source to increase water flow and pressure. The pump inlet is either connected to a public groundwater supply line or to a static water source. The pump provides higher pressure water flow to the sprinkler system risers and hose risers. Fire pumps must be tested monthly and annually to ensure they are operating as designed. These two different tests are called the monthly “churn” test and the annual flow test.

ISW horizontal single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump is to be used for clean water or other liquid with similar physical and
chemical property to clean water. It is suitable for industrial and city water supply and drainage, pressure water supply for high-rises, garden sprinkling, fire fighting booster, distance conveyance, cooling circulation in heating and ventilating system, bathroom and other cool or hot water circulation boosters or accessories, whose operation temperature is below 60C.

A diesel engine fire pump is a type of fire-fighting equipment with reliable performance. Even so, when using the equipment, we must still adhere to its prescribed safety operating procedures to avoid any unnecessary issues.

The diesel engine fire pump has automatic, manual and fault self-inspection functions. It can monitor the working status of the whole process, restore the fault start, automatic pre-lubrication and preheating automatic restart function, and make the equipment start safer and more reliable. It has the functions of central control room remote control, remote transmission control and field bus connection. The battery is fully automatic floating charging (constant current, constant voltage, trickle charging) mode to ensure that the battery is in a standby state at any time. The diesel engine fire pump is easy to use, equipped with remote transmission meters and meters, which can be connected to the control center as needed, easy to install and use, and easy to maintain.

As the name implies, fire pumps are classified into different types according to different classification methods, and are widely used in environmental protection, water treatment, fire protection and other departments because of their fully sealed, leak-free, and corrosion-resistant characteristics. liquid-like. The pump types are similar, but the head and flow are different. The selection basis of the fire pump should be considered according to the process flow, water supply and drainage requirements, and other five aspects.

Mechanical seals are commonly used on fire pumps to ensure reliable and long-lasting operation. These seals are designed to create a tight, reliable seal between the pump shafts, and the fire pump’s motor. Mechanical seals are typically composed of stationary and rotating components that move against each other with minimal friction, to form a mechanical seal that can withstand the stresses of the fire pump’s operation. In addition to preventing leaks, mechanical seals can help improve pump efficiency, reduce wear and tear on motor components, and increase the life of the fire pump.

stage pumps, horizontal multi-stage pumps, split casing pumps and so on according to the different flow and head of customers.
Electronic Components: The main electric components is CHNT, if Schneider or other brand electrical are need, should mention it before place the order.
Safety Valve plays a safety protection role in the system. When the system pressure exceeds the prescribed value, the safety valve opens, and a part of the gas/fluid in the system is discharged into the atmosphere/pipeline, so that the system pressure does not exceed the allowable value, so as to ensure that the system does not cause accidents due to excessive pressure.
Pressure Tank: Water is a non-compressible medium. Generally speaking, the pressure drop of fire-fighting pipe network is normal. However, the pressure drop is very slow, the total loss of water in the pipe network isnot large, and the frequent change of pressure in the pipe network leads to frequent start-up and shutdown of pumps. Especially when the power of equipment is high, it will cause great impact on pressure sensors, relaysand motors, thus affecting the performance and life whole equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right volume of the pressure tank.

When selecting a firefighting pump, factors such as the intended application (e.g., residential, industrial, wildland), required flow rate and pressure, available power source (e.g., gasoline, diesel, electric), portability, and budget should all be taken into account. Consulting with experts or fire safety professionals can help ensure you choose the right pump for your needs.

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.

5. The accessories include check valve, gate valve, air pressure tank (0.6mpa, 1.0mpa, 1.6mpa), pressure gauge, pressure sensor, common inlet and outlet pipeline, soft joint, flange and common base.

After receiving the fire/pipe network pressure/power failure/other start signals, the diesel engine fire pump can automatically start and enter full load operation within 5 seconds. The battery can be automatically charged by the main power supply or the diesel charging motor to ensure the smooth start of the equipment; automatic alarm protection for low oil pressure, high water temperature and other faults of the diesel engine, overspeed alarm and shutdown; the diesel engine fire pump is in a hot engine standby state to ensure emergency work. The diesel engine fire pump adopts the direct connection technology between the diesel engine and the water pump. Through the elastic coupling, the failure points are reduced, the start-up time of the unit is greatly shortened, and the reliability and emergency performance of the unit are improved.

For temporary structures and events, such as construction sites, outdoor festivals, or temporary exhibition halls, fire pumps and jockey pumps are vital for providing an adaptable and reliable fire protection solution. Portable fire pumps can be quickly deployed to deliver water to temporary sprinkler systems or standpipes, ensuring fire safety even in temporary settings. Jockey pumps help maintain pressure in these temporary systems, ensuring that they are always ready for immediate activation without requiring constant manual intervention. Given the temporary nature of these structures, fire pumps must be easy to transport, install, and operate, while also being durable enough to withstand outdoor conditions and frequent relocation. This flexibility makes them indispensable for ensuring fire safety in environments where traditional fire protection infrastructure may not be available.
