DJ Fire Pump System: Ensuring Rapid Emergency Response

There is a combination equipment that uses diesel as fuel for firefighting, but it is usually used as a backup firefighting facility, because it can only be started automatically when the firefighting signal comes, and the electric water pump fails or the power supply is cut off, that is, the diesel engine firefighting pump set. It is very different from the electric fire pump in that it has its own independent power supply and storage system.

Fire pumps are mainly used for pressurized water delivery in firefighting system pipelines, and can also be used in industrial and urban water supply and drainage, high-rise building depressurized water delivery, long-distance water delivery, heating, bathrooms, boiler cold and warm water circulation pressurized air conditioning refrigeration system water delivery and equipment matching, etc.

The fire pump is the necessary water intake equipment for fire-fighting facilities. At least one or two fire pumps are equipped. The commonly used fire pumps are electric fire pumps and diesel engine fire pumps. The difference between the two is that the electric fire pump needs power system supply. The electric diesel engine fire pump can be started at any time to fill the position of the original electric fire pump.

The diesel engine fire pump unit is directly driven by the diesel engine fire pump, and it is a mechatronic equipment that can start and complete the water supply in a short time. The diesel engine pump set is driven by a diesel engine without external power supply. Diesel pumps are suitable for fire water supply occasions such as agricultural irrigation, emergency rescue, smelting, hangars, petrochemical oil depots, power plants, liquefied gas stations, and textiles. Especially in the case of no electricity and dissatisfaction with the grid, choosing a diesel engine-driven water pump is the safest choice.
