How diesel engine fire pumps play an important role in fire safety

There are many types of fire pumps to deal with more fire water environments. Fire pumps are used in buildings, factories, warehouses, etc., with different performance requirements and quality requirements. The commonly used types of fire pumps include electric fire pumps, diesel fire pumps, horizontal single-stage fire pumps, vertical single-stage/multi-stage fire pumps Pumps and horizontal double-suction fire pumps, etc., the specific head, flow and power are selected according to different projects.

Fire pumps are part of the water supply to a fire sprinkler system and are powered by electricity, diesel or steam. 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 company can manufacture fire pumps that meet NFPA20 standards.

Air in a centrifugal pump usually occurs because of a suction issue. Air can be introduced into the pump either because of a piping issue, such as low water level, or an internal issue, such as incorrect impeller clearance. To prevent air from entering the inlet pipe and pump body, the piping should be checked to ensure it is properly sealed and the pump should be regularly inspected to check impeller clearance.

The fire pump can be installed in multiple ways according to the on-site use conditions. And depending on the flow and head requirements, the required flow and head are increased in parallel and series. The bearing adopts low-noise closed bearing, which has been injected with grease before leaving the factory, which can ensure continuous operation for more than two years, and the components have high concentricity. The pump impeller has good performance. Dynamic balance, no vibration in operation, and improved use environment. The pump shaft seal is a mechanical seal, which solves the serious leakage of conventional centrifugal pump packing, increases the service life, and ensures that the operating site is clean and tidy.

The parts that may cause friction when the pump rotates are all made of wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and high-anti-seize material combinations to ensure reliable operation, reduce noise, and avoid rust water, blocking spray and other fire-fighting devices, extending service life and after shutdown. Rust bite phenomenon.

Because diesel fire pumps are not omnipotent, there will be some problems in daily use, so when choosing equipment, we must pay attention to whether the quality of the equipment has reached the national standard. As fire equipment, all kinds of equipment must be Ensure performance, avoid affecting use in disasters and delay rescue.

The electric fire pump set is a fire pump powered by an electric motor, and generally consists of a set of fire pumps, electric motors, control cabinets and auxiliary devices. Because the electric motor fire pump set is composed of these parts, it forms a powerful fire protection and power effect, and provides a strong water source support for various fire hydrant systems and sprinkler systems in the building.

A multistage pump refers to a pump with two or more impellers, which can absorb and press water in multiple stages, so as to lift the water to a high position. The lift can be increased or decreased according to the needs of the pump impeller. The multistage pump can be equipped with a four-stage motor by increasing the number of impellers when the single-stage pump head needs to be equipped with a two-stage motor, which can improve the service life of the pump and reduce the noise of the unit.

The fire pump is designed to divert water when a fire is detected by the sprinkler system or other fire-detection device. The pump will then draw water from the water supply source and deliver it to the sprinkler system, fire hoses, or other fire suppression devices.
