Fire Pump Testing Frequency: What You Need to Know

EDJ fire pump set producting

When selecting a firefighting pump, it’s essential to consider factors such as the type and size of fires likely to be encountered, the terrain and accessibility of the area, the availability of water sources, and the expertise of the operators. For example, wildland firefighting may require lightweight and portable pumps capable of drawing water from remote sources, while industrial settings may require high-capacity pumps with specialized features for handling flammable liquids or chemicals.

Early detection of fire pump issues is crucial for preventing critical system failures. This article explores the functionalities and benefits of fire pump alarms and monitoring systems in detail. It explains how these systems provide real-time data on the status and performance of fire pumps, enabling early warning of potential problems. By embracing these technologies, facility managers can ensure continuous oversight and timely intervention.

No, a fire pump should never run without water. Running a fire pump dry can cause significant damage to the pump’s internal components, leading to overheating and failure. Ensuring the water supply is reliable and monitored is essential for proper fire pump operation.

This is a set of EDJ fire pump set, which consists of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump. 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 current use of fire pumps is still relatively important. As the name suggests, fire pumps are pumps used for fire protection. The fire pumps we use now are all imported from abroad. Its performance mainly includes three aspects, sealing, no leakage, and corrosion resistance. Because of the particularity of its use, its requirements are relatively strict in terms of material selection and production. Considering many aspects, the performance and technical conditions of the fire pump meet the requirements of the “Fire Pump Performance and Test Methods” standard.

Diesel engine fire pump has the characteristics of high efficiency, wide performance range, safe and stable operation, low noise, long life, convenient installation and maintenance, etc. This diesel engine pump set can transport clean water or other liquids whose physical and chemical properties are similar to water. It can also be used to transport hot water, oil, corrosive or abrasive media by changing the material of the pump’s flow parts, sealing form and adding a cooling system.

The EDJ fire pump unit is suitable for various fire boosting and pressure stabilizing pump occasions; various villas, residential areas and other fire protection systems; industrial and civil building fire protection systems; suitable for various oil depots, oil loading and unloading docks, logistics parks and other fire protection levels demanding places.

Components
1. Diesel pump: flow is the same with electric pump. It connects the pump set with high elastic coupling or universal joint.
2. Jockey pump: vertical, small flow, head is higher than electric or diesel pump.
3. Control panel: control the pumps automatically with overload, overcurrent protection.
4. Accessories: Suction pipe, Discharge pipe with flange, Battery, Gate valve, Check valve, Flexible expansion joints, Pressure switches, Pressure gauge, base frame etc.

The EEJ Fire Pump System includes two electric pumps and a jockey pump.

Diesel fire pumps are generally used as backup equipment, and will only start automatically when the fire signal arrives, the electric pump fails or the power is cut off. After the ultra-low pressure starting device is equipped, the matching electric water pump control cabinet should also be equipped with an ultra-low pressure starting device, and the pressure difference between the two should be the lower limit. This series of products has a large range of lift and flow, which can fully meet the needs of the dock , warehouse, liquefied gas station, petrochemical, airport, power plant, textile and other industrial and mining enterprises fire water supply.

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.

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.

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 pipeline pressure 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

EDJ fire pump set is composed of electric pump, diesel pump and stabilized pressure pump. In daily use, as an auxiliary pump, the stabilized pressure pump keeps the existence of liquid (water) in the fire pipeline at all times, and the electric pump works as the main power pump in normal work. When the circuit system is burnt out due to a serious fire, the diesel pump will start instead of the electric pump within ten seconds, which will not be affected by the circuit and complete the fire fighting work. In recent years, EDJ fire pump group has gradually become the first choice of fire protection systems in various office buildings and residential buildings, and its safety

The EDJ fire pump group is composed of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump. The three pumps are automatically started and stopped. When the stabilized 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 EE Pump Set is designed according to the customer’s specifications which is including 2 electric pumps and 1 control panel.

The fire pump group is composed of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump. The conventional electric pump is the main pump, and the diesel pump is the backup pump. The jockey pump plays a role in the stabilization of the whole system. When the electric pump fails or When the mains is cut off, the control cabinet will receive the signal from the electric contact pressure gauge and start the diesel engine pump within 5 seconds, and reach the rated working condition within 20 seconds to ensure the normal firefighting work.

Horizontal multi-stage fire pumps can be used to transport clear water without solid particles and liquids with physical and chemical properties similar to water. It is mainly used in pressurized water supply for fire protection system, heating, bathroom, boiler cold and warm water cycle pressurization, water supply for air conditioning and refrigeration system, and equipment matching and other occasions.

Diesel engine fire pumps are usually used as a backup facility, and will only start automatically when the electric water pump fails or the power is cut off when the fire signal comes. When equipped with an ultra-low pressure pump starting device, the matching electric pump control cabinet should also be equipped with an ultra-low pressure pump starting device, and the lower limit of pump starting should have a certain pressure difference. Of course, it is also possible to design a control system that is more suitable for customer needs according to customer requirements.
