When the 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 to start the motor to start the diesel engine at idle speed, and then gradually adjust the throttle to accelerate the diesel engine to the 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 pump set receives a signal that the pressure of the pipeline 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 EEJ Pump Set is designed according to the customer’s specifications which is including 2 electric pumps, 1 jockey pump and 1 control panel.

Prior to installation, fire sprinkler systems are hydraulically calculated to ensure adequate water flow and that the system can reliably suppress a fire until fire crews arrive. When it is determined that there is insufficient flow from a municipal supply for the system to function properly, a fire pump is installed. The fire pump activates when the sprinkler system pressure falls below a certain threshold as a result of sprinkler head operation. To maintain the required operating pressure of the sprinkler system, the fire pump draws additional water from the municipal water supply or on-site storage tanks. Due to the size of piping systems and pressure loss, fire pumps are frequently required in high rise construction and large area buildings.
