Importance of complete fire pump sets (electric, diesel and jockey pumps)

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.

Fire pumps are required when the local water system cannot provide enough pressure to meet the needs of the fire sprinkler system. This usually occurs in high-rise buildings, or in systems that supply large quantities of water, such as in storage warehouses. A fire pump is also required if the water supply is provided from an above ground storage tank.

The fire pump is activated when the pressure in the fire sprinkler system falls below a threshold, usually caused by the release of water from one or more fire sprinklers or the opening of other fire connections, resulting in a drop in pressure in the fire main.

Fire pumps are usually powered by electric motors or diesel engines. Electric fire pumps may require the installation of emergency generators if necessary. Fire pumps are commonly found in offices, hospitals, airports, manufacturing facilities, power stations, pharmaceutical facilities, schools/colleges and warehouses.

    1. Ability to provide a steady and reliable flow of water: Fire pumps are designed to provide a steady and reliable flow of water to the fire suppression system. This ensures that the fire is extinguished quickly and without any damage to the property.

    2. High-Pressure Output: Fire pumps can provide a high-pressure output to ensure that the water is able to reach further distances and at higher pressures than would be achievable by a standard water system. This is important in controlling and extinguishing fires, as it allows the water to reach all areas of the fire.

    3. Emergency Operation: Fire pumps are designed to be able to operate in the event of a power outage. This ensures that the fire suppression system can still be operational in the event of a power failure. This is especially important in commercial buildings and other areas where power outages can occur.

    4. Automatic Activation: Fire pumps are designed to automatically activate in the event of a fire. This ensures that the fire suppression system can be activated quickly and without any manual intervention. This is especially important in the event of a large fire, as it ensures that the system is already in operation before the fire department arrives.

    5. Low Maintenance: Fire pumps are designed to be low maintenance, requiring only regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that they are working correctly. This ensures that the fire suppression system is always ready for use and that it can be relied upon in the event of a fire.
