1. Export: All fire pump components should be carefully inspected and packed to ensure that they meet all applicable export laws and regulations. All components should be properly marked or labeled to be easily identified even in a foreign country.

2. Import: The importing country may require certain types of documents to be presented with the fire pumps. These documents may include an export permit, a commercial invoice, a packing list, or perhaps even an insurance policy. If exporting to a foreign country, a customs clearance may also be required.

3. Regulatory Requirements: Fire pump components may fall under certain regulatory requirements, either imposed by the importing country, or by the country of origin. It is important to check with the relevant regulatory authorities to ensure that the equipment meets all applicable regulations.

4. Certification: Depending upon the type of pump being imported, or exported, certain certification may be required.

At the same time, it can be connected with the customer’s automatic fire alarm device or the fire control system control cabinet produced by our factory to realize the function of remote monitoring.

The lifespan of a fire pump motor or engine varies based on factors like usage, maintenance, and the quality of the equipment. However, they are typically designed to be durable and long-lasting.

All places need to be equipped with fire-fighting facilities, and fire pumps are necessary water intake equipment for fire-fighting facilities. At least one or two fire pumps are equipped. The fire pumps we commonly use are electric fire pumps and diesel engine fire pumps. The difference between the two is The electric fire pump needs to be supplied by the power system. If the power is cut off, the diesel engine fire pump can be started at any time to make up for the original position of the electric fire pump.

EDJ Fire pump set consists of a main electric pump(driven by electric motor),standby diesel pump(driven by diesel engine), and a jockey pump.Pumps are assembled with discharge pipe and suction pipe as well as ControlPanel.And this fire pump system can be customized for different purposes such as high rise buildings, warehouses,facilties,hospitals,supermarkets, shopping malls, vllas,apartments,etc.

Sewage and dirt with conveyor belt particles can also be used for clean water and weakly corrosive media.

A typical firefighting pump system consists of the pump itself, intake and discharge hoses, nozzles, strainers or filters to prevent debris from entering the pump, and sometimes additional accessories like foam injection systems for enhanced fire suppression capabilities.

1. When the pipeline fire pump noise occurs, the most likely fault is the imbalance of the fire pump rotor. Since the water output of the fire pump mainly depends on the high-speed rotation of the rotor, when the rotor is unbalanced for some reason, it will cause the fire pump to deviate from the original rotation track during the rotation process, resulting in the fire pump appearing in the pipeline. When judging the failure of the rotor, it is mainly to replace the rotor of the pump or make a balance hole on the rotor blade of the pump to find out the balance difference.

2. The production noise of the fire pump pipeline has a certain effect. For example, forcing a small flow of a pipe “fire pump” to increase power to increase the original flow will create vibrations in the fire pump. Therefore, whether you use a pipeline fire pump or other types of water pumps, you should follow the water pump use standards to prevent the water pump from making noise, which will affect the service life of the water pump. The solution is to use the pump according to the instructions. If the efficiency of use is affected, it is recommended to replace the appropriate pipeline “fire pump” for use.

3. The installation did not meet the standards, resulting in abnormal noise from the pipeline fire pump. Fire pumps and fire hydrant pumps vibrate at a high frequency during operation, so they must be fixed during installation. If the bolt between the pump body and the base or between the base and the base is loose when installing the pipe fire pump, the transmission shaft between the pump body and the motor of the pipe pump will be bent. It lowered the concentricity and caused an imbalance in the fire pump rotor. This is one of the noise phenomena of fire pumps. In order to improve this phenomenon, the pump shaft of the fire pump needs to be balanced and then reinstalled. Finally, the base of the pump was reinforced.

4. Blockage of the impeller passage can also cause fire pump noise. When the internal flow channel of the fire pump is blocked by foreign matter, it will cause uneven resistance of the fire pump impeller and vibrate the fire pump. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly disassemble and maintain the fire pump to prevent foreign matter from blocking the pipeline.

5. The bearing of the fire pump is damaged. Bearing damage generally does not occur on the main body of an in-line fire pump. If there is a problem with the quality of the pump, or because some hard objects enter the pump body of the tube pump, the bearing is damaged, and the rotor is unstable at first. Causes noise from pipeline fire pumps.

6. Finally, cavitation, cavitation occurs in any type of pump, but some are obviously not noticeable. If cavitation occurs, consider raising the fire pump or increasing the pressure in the piping. If the cavitation phenomenon cannot be changed, the fire pump model needs to be redesigned and replaced.

Fire pumps are necessary to maintain adequate water pressure for firefighting, especially in high-rise buildings, large industrial facilities, or areas with insufficient water supply.
