Fire pumps are designed to run continuously during a fire emergency. They must be able to sustain operation for the duration required to control or extinguish the fire, which can be several hours.

Diesel fire pumps are available in various configurations, including horizontal split-case, vertical turbine, and end-suction pumps. Each type has its advantages and is suitable for different applications based on factors such as space limitations, flow requirements, and installation preferences. Consulting with a qualified engineer or fire protection specialist can help determine the most appropriate type of diesel fire pump for a specific application.

Fire pumps are part of the water supply to a fire sprinkler system and are powered by electricity or diesel. The pump inlet is either connected to a public groundwater supply or to a static water source (e.g. tank, reservoir, lake). This pump provides higher pressure water flow to sprinkler system risers and hose risers.
Our factory can manufacture NFPA20 compliant fire pumps.
Fire pumps can function with electric motors or diesel engines, and if local building codes require electricity independent of the local grid, pumps using electric motors can use the installation of an emergency generator when connected through a transfer switch listed.

EDJ series fire pump set consists of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump and all accessories.
The pressure switch and the control cabinet can automatically turn on/off the three pumps – the electric pump and the pipe charging pump work when there is electricity, and the diesel pump is started when the power is off.
Flow range: 50-5000 GPM
Pressure range: 4-14 bar

Fire pumps are necessary because municipal water supplies might not always provide sufficient water pressure to effectively fight fires in large buildings or areas. Fire pumps boost the water pressure to ensure proper coverage and firefighting capabilities.

Diesel engine fire pumps are mainly used for emergency fire fighting on ships. At the same time, it is also suitable for industrial and mining enterprises, port terminals, warehouses and freight yards and other places. Diesel engine fire pump, as a fixed fire extinguishing equipment, has been widely used in fire diversion, especially in emergencies such as no power supply or abnormal power supply, it can also be equipped with other diesel engines as power engines according to the needs of users.

Fire pumps should be inspected and maintained in accordance with local regulations and standards, but typically, they should be inspected at least annually and undergo a more comprehensive test every three years.

It’s a customized EJ fire pump set consisting of electric pump, jockey pump along with control panel, and accessories. It is equipped with priming tank for doing negative suction.

1. Connection form

The vertical water pump is connected with the motor by the coupling, which needs to be aligned regularly; the perpendicular water pump is superimposed and connected from the bottom to the top, and the perpendicular water pump is generally called the channel pump.

2. Installation form

Compared with perpendicular water pumps, perpendicular water pumps are easier to install. The vertical pump set is handed with a base, and perfection adaptation is needed after installation.

3. conservation difficulty

Since the perpendicular water pump is composed of upper and lower layers, the conservation of the perpendicular water pump is more delicate. For illustration, to repair the impeller, it’s necessary to remove all the corridor above the impeller before repairing; while the vertical water pump is fairly easy. For illustration, the IS type pump can perform impeller conservation by removing the bay pipe.

4. bottom space

It can be seen from the appearance that the vertical water pump has a base due to its vertical structure, so it occupies a large area.

ED small fire pump set (referred to as ED small fire complete set of water supply equipment) refers to a highly integrated electromechanical system with a flow rate of less than 100GPM and composed of electric centrifugal pumps, multi-stage centrifugal pumps (booster pump sets), diesel engine centrifugal pumps, pressure limiting protection Device (safety valve), valve fittings, control system, pressure sensor system, waterless protection device, backflow preventer, soft joint, bypass pipeline, common base, filter, etc. It is a fire-fighting water supply equipment that continuously supplies water to the fire-fighting pipe network at a preset pressure.

With the continuous progress of the times, the application of diesel engine fire pumps is becoming more and more extensive. Diesel engine fire pump is a common and necessary facility.

Diesel engine fire pump is installed together with electrical instruments, with complete functions, compact structure, automatic fault alarm, receiving start signal, and can automatically complete the start-up procedure and fast full-load operation. , Enough to ensure that the diesel engine fire pump is started in a low temperature environment, the whole system of the diesel engine fire pump is safe, reliable, and easy to use.

Firefighting pumps can be powered by various sources, including gasoline engines, diesel engines, electric motors, and even manual operation in some cases. The choice of power source depends on factors such as portability, availability of fuel, and the intended application.

The fire pump is used to transport various liquids. It is an ideal pump and fire system for building civilized factories, non-leakage, and non-polluting civilized workshops. It is often installed on fire extinguishing systems, fire trucks or other fire-fighting facilities to transport water. Or a special pump for foam solution fire extinguishing. Pipeline fire pumps are widely used in water treatment, environmental protection, fire protection and other departments.

Fire pumps are not always running; they typically start automatically when a drop in water pressure is detected in the fire protection system.
