Single-stage fire pumps have only one impeller, and multistage fire pumps can have two or more impellers. Because the pump core in them is different, the structure is different. The impeller of the multi-stage pump is more than that of the single-stage pump, which can achieve a larger head at the same flow rate. The multi-stage pump is the sum of the single-stage pumps, and the head and outlet pressure can be made very high.

Common issues with firefighting pumps include priming failures, leaks, clogs, engine or motor problems, and inadequate water supply. Troubleshooting steps may include checking for obstructions, inspecting hoses and connections, verifying fuel and oil levels, and consulting the pump’s manual for troubleshooting guidance.

Fire pump impellers typically have a single- or double-suction design, with the latter being more common. They are usually made of cast bronze, cast iron, or stainless steel and are designed to operate at high pressures and temperatures. The impeller blades are typically curved to provide optimal flow and pressure, and the hub is designed to ensure a secure fit on the motor shaft. The impeller shape and size, as well as the number of blades, are designed to provide an optimal flow rate and pressure for the application.

The EDJ fire pump unit consists of a fire pump, a double-shaft motor and a diesel engine. One end of the output shaft of the double-shaft motor is connected to the input shaft of the fire pump, and the other end of the output shaft of the double-shaft motor is connected to the One end of a clutch is connected, and the other end of the clutch is connected with the output shaft of the diesel engine. The fire water pump, the double-shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are all fixed on the base. The double shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are respectively electrically connected with a control circuit through an action driving circuit. With dual-power fire pumps, there is no need to configure a second fire pump, which reduces floor space and saves manufacturing costs.

Maintaining fire pumps and jockey pumps is essential for ensuring their reliable operation in an emergency. Best practices for maintenance include regular inspection and testing of the pumps, checking for leaks, corrosion, and wear on components, and ensuring that all electrical connections and control systems are functioning correctly. It is also important to perform routine flow tests to verify that the pumps can deliver the required water flow and pressure as specified by design standards and regulatory codes. Lubrication of moving parts, replacement of worn-out seals and gaskets, and calibration of pressure sensors and alarms should also be part of a comprehensive maintenance program. Additionally, keeping detailed records of all inspections, tests, and maintenance activities helps track the condition of the pumps over time and identify potential issues before they lead to failure. Regular training for personnel on the operation and maintenance of fire pumps further enhances system reliability and readiness.

Fire pump is a general term for special pumps involved in water supply of various fire systems. The fire pump model is XBD. Fire pumps must be tested and approved by relevant national units before they can be used in various fire protection systems in buildings, such as: fire hydrant system, sprinkler fire extinguishing system, foam fire extinguishing system, large space high-altitude water cannon, water mist fire extinguishing system, rain shower fire extinguishing systems, water curtains, etc.

The fire pump unit can be classified according to the following rules:
1 according to the form of power source, it can be divided into:
A) diesel engine fire pump unit
Motor fire pump unit
C) gas turbine fire pump unit
D) gasoline engine fire pump unit
(2) it can be divided into:

The double-suction fire pump has the characteristics of high lift and large flow, and is widely used in fire fighting. The impeller of this pump type is actually a combination of two back-to-back impellers, and the water flow from the impellers merges into a volute. The double-suction pump has the following characteristics: it is equivalent to two single-suction impellers of the same diameter working at the same time, and the flow rate can be doubled under the same outer diameter of the impeller; the pump casing is horizontally opened, which is convenient for inspection and maintenance. The inlet and outlet of the suction pump are in the same direction and perpendicular to the pump shaft, which is conducive to the arrangement and installation of the pump and the inlet and outlet pipes; the impeller structure of the double suction pump is symmetrical, there is no axial force, and the operation is relatively stable.

The DJ model is basically a combination of a diesel engine and a jockey pump. They consist mainly of end suction pumps driven by diesel engines and have no backup pumps. It is also combined with a jockey pump for maintenance to form a complete skid.

The complete DJ style skid is assembled with all discharge line fittings and connected to the skid mounted control panel.

Available DJ-type fire pump skid kits provide the following flows:
50, 120, 150, 250, 300, 350, 500, 750 and 1000 GPM.

Fire pumps are rated based on their capacity and pressure performance. The two key ratings are:

Gallons Per Minute (GPM): This rating indicates the pump’s flow capacity and how much water it can deliver per minute. It is essential to ensure that the fire pump can meet the specific flow requirements of the fire protection system.

Pressure (PSI): The pressure rating specifies the force with which the pump can deliver water. Sufficient pressure is critical for effectively propelling water through the fire sprinklers and hoses.

Understanding these ratings is vital when selecting a fire pump for a facility, as it ensures that the pump can meet the specific needs of the fire protection system.
