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.

The conventional electric pump is the main pump, the diesel engine pump is the backup pump, and the voltage stabilizer pump plays a role in the stabilization of the whole system. When the electric pump fails or the mains is cut off, the control cabinet will receive the pressure gauge from the electric contact. When the signal comes, the diesel engine pump will be started within 5 seconds, and the rated working condition will be reached within 20 seconds to ensure the normal operation of the fire extinguishing work.

Assess the facility’s size, layout, and potential fire hazards to determine required flow and pressure. Consider the water supply available, pump type (electric, diesel), and specific applications. Consulting with a fire protection engineer can also help ensure compliance with local regulations and standards.

The product is EJ fire pump set. The EJ fire pump set has one electric pump and one jockey pump. The electric pump in the picture is ISW pump. ISW series horizontal single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump is a new generation of energy saving, environment friendly horizontal centrifugal pump researched and developed by our company, which absorbs advanced technology of similar products abroad and adopts domestic
general performance parameters of centrifugal pumps. In addition, according to different operation temperatures and mediums, we developed the hot-water pump (ISWR), corrosion-resistant chemical pump (ISWH) and oil pump (ISWB).

EDJ series fire pump sets are mainly installed in fire trucks, fire extinguishing systems or other fire fighting facilities, and are special pumps used to transport liquids such as water or foam solution.
The fire pump set includes a main pump connected to the electric motor, a backup pump connected to the diesel engine, jockey pump, pressure vessel, controller for manual or automatic operation of the system and standard accessories mounted on the base.

Fire pumps are the key to supplying fresh pressurized water to fire protection systems. They do not produce water per se, but add the energy needed to effectively extinguish a fire. These pumps can be connected to sprinkler systems or other external water sources near the emergency situation. Some may actually be connected to a well, reservoir or water body.

The fire pumps used in the complete diesel engine fire pump unit can be the IS series single-stage type and the D-type series segment multi-stage type produced by our company. The diesel engine water pumps used in this series of equipment are made of domestic or imported high-quality products. They have the characteristics of good starting characteristics, strong overload capacity, compact structure, convenient maintenance, simple use and high degree of automation. They are advanced and reliable fire fighting equipment.

Maintenance records provide a documented history of the pump’s condition, service intervals, and repairs, which are vital for compliance, insurance, and ensuring that pumps are in good working order during emergencies. Regular records also help identify recurring issues, allowing for proactive maintenance.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has established standards and guidelines governing the installation and maintenance of fire pumps. NFPA 20, the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, provides comprehensive requirements for fire pump design, installation, testing, and maintenance.

Compliance with NFPA 20 standards is essential to ensure that fire pump systems are installed and maintained in a manner that meets nationally recognized safety practices. These standards help ensure the reliability and effectiveness of fire pumps in protecting lives and property during fire emergencies.

Water supply reliability is paramount for the effective operation of fire pumps. This article explores the significance of a consistent and adequate water source, such as municipal water mains, dedicated fire service water tanks, or reservoirs. It highlights the measures required to ensure water supply reliability and the potential consequences of water source inadequacy.

With the continuous development of society, people have higher requirements for the quality of life, and the safety of diesel engine fire pumps is more important. All places need to be equipped with fire-fighting facilities, and fire pumps are water intake equipment for fire-fighting facilities. The fire pumps we commonly use are electric fire pumps and diesel engine fire pumps. The difference between them is that electric fire pumps need power system supply. In case of power failure, the diesel engine fire pump can be started at any time to make up for the original position of the electric fire pump.

1. Electric fire pump: various end suction pumps and split pumps.
2. jockey pump: vertical, small flow, higher lift than electric or diesel pumps.
3. Control panel: Automatically control the water pump with overload and overcurrent protection.
4. Accessories: suction pipe, discharge pipe with flange, battery, gate valve, check valve, flexible expansion joint, pressure switch, pressure gauge, base, etc

Series OTS pumps are single stage,double suction with horizontally split casings .They are suitable pumping unsettled water, clean water ,non-drinkable or hydrocarbon at a temperature not exceeded 105C.
Series OTS pumps are available for capacities Of 68-18000m3/hr and heads of 70-200m.They are adoptable in water works irrigation and drainage pumping stations,fire fighting systems, marine applications as well as refinery industry,etc.

Diesel engine fire pump is suitable for high-lift and high-flow fire-fighting water supply environment or as a backup fire-fighting water supply pump. The reason is that the diesel engine has strong power and can be used with large-flow fire-fighting deep well pumps, and the diesel engine fire pump has the characteristics of self-start after power failure. It can provide emergency water supply and is a good choice in fire pumps.

The three pumps are automatically started and stopped. When the joceky pump detects that the electric pump cannot operate normally, the diesel engine pump will start automatically. Can also be used, the fire pump set is widely used in various emergency firefighting occasions.

The pump and the motor are coaxial, which simplifies the connection of the pipeline. The pump inlet and outlet are on the same horizontal axis, and the diameter and specifications are the same. The pump is provided with a mounting base, which is easy to install and increases the stability of the pump operation. The pump seal adopts mechanical seal, which has the characteristics of reliable sealing and no leakage.

Combining an electric pump for robust water pressure and flow with a top-quality jockey pump for stable pressure maintenance, this system ensures efficient and timely water supply during fires. With advanced automation, remote monitoring, and energy-saving features, the EJ Dual Power Fire Pump System is a trusted choice for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

It depends on the type of fire pump and the specific design of the system. Generally speaking, most fire pumps should be set to automatic mode in order to ensure that they operate when needed. However, in some cases, manual mode may be more appropriate and necessary.

Yes, backup power sources are essential for fire pumps, especially in the event of a power outage. Diesel-powered pumps have built-in redundancy, while electric pumps may need backup generators or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to ensure continuous operation.

All accessories of ED small fire-fighting complete water supply equipment are assembled according to the standard (NFPA20). Its configuration depends on the customer’s needs, or the number of pumps and the type of electric and diesel pumps. ED small fire pump sets are usually equipped with two pumps, a main pump (electric centrifugal pump) and a backup pump (diesel centrifugal pump). The choice of electric motor and diesel engine depends on the reliability level of the system.
