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.

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.

Assess existing capacity: Ensure your pump can handle increased system demands.

Strategies include:

Water Recycling: Implement systems to recycle water used during pump testing, minimizing wastage.
Eco-Friendly Testing Methods: Use methods that reduce water consumption, such as flow meters that simulate flow conditions without discharging large volumes of water.
Regular Maintenance: Keep the pump in good working order to reduce the frequency and duration of testing needed.
Environmental Monitoring: Monitor and manage the environmental impact of testing activities, ensuring compliance with local environmental regulations and standards.

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

Discuss the applicability of fire pumps in residential buildings, particularly high-rise or large complexes where water pressure may be insufficient for fire suppression. Explain what factors make fire pumps necessary in certain residential scenarios, such as building height and local fire code requirements, and outline how they can be adapted for residential use, ensuring safety without excessive water pressure.

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.

Personnel should be trained in fire pump operation, routine maintenance, emergency procedures, and understanding of the relevant NFPA standards. Regular training updates ensure that staff remain knowledgeable about the latest safety practices.

The ED Fire Pump Set combines electric and diesel engine pumps to ensure uninterrupted fire protection and a reliable water supply.
In various fields, our products find applications in large hotels, hospitals, schools, office buildings, supermarkets, commercial residences, subway stations, train stations, airports, various transportation tunnels, petrochemical plants, thermal power plants,oil storage tanks, large warehouses, industrial and mining enterprises, seawater injection, etc.

The fire pump is used to pump all kinds of liquids. It is an ideal pump and fire protection system for creating non-leakage, non-pollution civilized workshops and civilized factories. It is often installed on fire trucks, fixed fire extinguishing systems or other fire-fighting facilities for transportation Special pumps for liquid extinguishing agents such as water or foam solutions. Fire pumps are widely used in environmental protection, water treatment, fire protection and other departments.

EDJ fire pump is a kind of electric and diesel engine dual-drive fire water supply equipment designed and manufactured by Better Technology Co., Ltd. according to the <> standard, and has obtained 3CF certification. Better dual-power fire pump has many models and can be customized according to needs.

Electric fire pumps are pumps used to pump clean water and liquids with physical and chemical properties similar to water. They are mainly used in factories, mines, urban water supply, air conditioning systems, fire protection systems and agricultural irrigation. For pumps of the same specification, changing the outer diameter of the impeller can have different performance. The pump has simple structure, reliable performance, small volume, high suction lift, low energy consumption and easy maintenance.

Fire Pump Set Components :
Electric pump:kinds of end suction pump, split case pump, multistage pump. made of cast iron, stainless steel. Impeller can be bronze.
Diesel pump:Flow is the same with electric pump. It connects the pump set with High elastic coupling or universal joint. It also includes water tank, oil tank, fans, control screen etc.
Jockey pump:horizontal or vertical, small flow, head is higher than electric or diesel pump
Control panel:control the pumps automatically with overload, overcurrent protection

Diesel engine fire pumps are suitable for use in high lift and high flow fire water supply environments or as backup fire water supply pumps. The reason is that the diesel engine has strong power and can be used with large flow fire deep well pumps, and the diesel engine fire pumps have the characteristics of self-starting when power is off. Emergency water supply available.

1. Fire Pump: A fire pump is the heart of a fire sprinkler system and is used to create the necessary water pressure to make the system work. It is powered by an electric motor or diesel engine and pumps water from a water source to the sprinkler system.

2. Control Panel: The control panel is the brains of the fire sprinkler system. It controls the flow of power to the pump and monitors the sprinkler system for any changes in pressure or water flow. It also triggers alarms and other safety devices in the event of a fire.

3. Suction Pipe: The suction pipe is connected to the fire pump and draws water from the water source. It is usually made of steel and must be strong enough to withstand the pressure exerted by the pump.

4. Pressure Gauge: The pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure in the system and ensure that the pump is providing the correct amount of water pressure. It is usually mounted on the control panel.

5. Valves: Valves are used to control the flow of water to and from the system. They are typically operated manually or automatically and can be used to start and stop the pump, control the flow of water, and isolate parts of the system for maintenance.

The video displays EJ fire pump set is being tested. The system set is equipped with a priming tank and can do 2 to 3 meters negative suction.

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. Our commonly used fire pumps 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 electric fire pump.

ISW horizontal single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump is to be used for clean water or other liquid with similar physical and
chemical property to clean water. It is suitable for industrial and city water supply and drainage, pressure water supply for high-rises, garden sprinkling, fire fighting booster, distance conveyance, cooling circulation in heating and ventilating system, bathroom and other cool or hot water circulation boosters or accessories, whose operation temperature is below 60C.

Fire pumps are designed to run continuously during a fire emergency. They must be able to sustain operation for the duration required to control or extinguish the fire, which can be several hours.

Guide readers through the process of determining the ideal fire pump size based on their facility’s unique layout, occupancy, and fire suppression needs. Explain concepts like required water flow rate and pressure, and recommend consulting with a fire protection engineer. Discuss how undersized pumps may fail to provide adequate protection, while oversized pumps may lead to unnecessary costs and maintenance.
