How should the pump casing of the fire pump be maintained?

Fire pumps work by drawing water from a water source (such as a dedicated water tank or municipal supply) and pressurizing it before delivering it to the fire sprinkler system or hose lines.

While fire pumps are designed to run for extended periods during emergencies, continuous operation under normal conditions is not recommended. Prolonged operation can lead to wear and tear, and regular testing is preferred over continuous running.

The diesel engine fire pump has the characteristics of good starting performance, strong overload capacity, compact internal structure, convenient maintenance, simple operation and high degree of automation. It is a very reliable fire fighting equipment.

First, what’s a water pump? It’s a device used to transport liquid, pressurize the liquid, and make the liquid from the first liquid position to the high liquid position. The first water pump constructed by the Chinese is called” water windmill”. latterly, around 300 BC, the emergence of the” Archimedes screw pump” is more analogous to ultramodern pumps. In addition, the following introductory knowledge points are what you must understand.
1. Centrifugal pump

Centrifugal pump is the most common type of pump. In simple terms, the working principle of centrifugal pump is to rotate the impeller to drive the liquid under the action of centrifugal force. The liquid leaves the impeller and enters the volute. As the inflow passage of the volute gradationally expands, the fluid haste slows down, and the pressure rises continuously, and eventually it’s discharged through the conduit.
2. Impeller
The impeller is one of the main factors in the water pump, and it’s the core element that transmits mechanical energy to the liquid. The impeller is substantially divided into three types open type,semi-open type and closed type. The material conditions for the impeller are high, wear resistance is needed, and the manufacturing process is good.

3. Cavitation

Cavitation is the conformation of numerous bitsy recesses when the liquid connections the liquid under high- speed inflow and pressure, and gradationally expands into grottoes when serious, and cavitation frequently occurs in the impeller and pump covering.

A horizontal fire pump has its shaft aligned horizontally, making it suitable for installations with more floor space. A vertical fire pump, on the other hand, has a vertical shaft and is ideal for spaces with limited floor area but sufficient vertical space. The choice between horizontal and vertical configurations depends on the available space, system layout, and design preferences.

If the person on duty in the fire control room cannot start and stop the fire pump manually after the fire occurs, it will delay the timing of emergency rescue and fire extinguishing. Today ZJBetter is here to explain how to switch the working status of the electrical control cabinet of the fire pump, manually start and stop the pump group on site and remotely, so that everyone can use the fire pump to extinguish the initial fire source or slow down the fire before the fire rescue comes.

In the fire fighting pipeline pump, according to the different installation methods can be divided into vertical fire pumps and horizontal fire pumps, many people have questions about these two common pumps, what is the difference between the two? Shanghai Xizhiquan will explain the difference between horizontal and vertical pumps.

Obviously, different installation methods take up different space. Vertical pipeline pumps are installed vertically, covering a relatively small area, and vertical fire pumps do not require a foundation, while horizontal fire pumps need to be equipped with a base.

According to the different structures of the two pumps, it can be concluded that there is also a certain difference in the ease of maintenance of the two types of fire fighting pipeline pumps. The impeller of the vertical fire pump needs to be dismantled from top to bottom, which makes maintenance more difficult; the horizontal fire pump only needs to have the inlet pipe removed so that the impeller can be overhauled, which is relatively simple.

Due to the different inlet and outlet pipe directions, the pipeline connection between vertical and horizontal is also different. As the vertical pump is a bottom-up structure, while the horizontal fire pump is longitudinally arranged on the base, so the motor of the vertical pump and the pump body are connected in the form of sub-mouth connection, while the horizontal pump needs to use couplings to connect with the motor, and the horizontal pipeline pump needs to be corrected regularly.
