Main purpose of fire pump

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.

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

Fire pumps are mainly used for pressurized water delivery in firefighting system pipelines, and can also be used in industrial and urban water supply and drainage, high-rise building depressurized water delivery, long-distance water delivery, heating, bathrooms, boiler cold and warm water circulation pressurized air conditioning refrigeration system water delivery and equipment matching, etc.

The EDJ fire pump unit consists of a fire pump, a double-shaft motor and a diesel engine. One end of the output shaft of the double-shaft motor is connected to the input shaft of the fire pump, and the other end of the output shaft of the double-shaft motor is connected to the One end of a clutch is connected, and the other end of the clutch is connected with the output shaft of the diesel engine. The fire water pump, the double-shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are all fixed on the base. The double shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are respectively electrically connected with a control circuit through an action driving circuit. With dual-power fire pumps, there is no need to configure a second fire pump, which reduces floor space and saves manufacturing costs.

The EDJ Fire Pump Set is a powerful and reliable firefighting equipment designed for fire suppression and emergency rescue operations. It boasts high-performance capabilities in water extraction and pressure delivery, enabling rapid supply of large volumes of water.

Suction and Discharge Connections: The fire pump has dedicated suction and discharge connections for the water supply and the distribution system, respectively. The suction connection draws water from a water source such as a reservoir or hydrant, while the discharge connection delivers the pressurized water to the fire protection system.

After receiving the fire/pipe network pressure/power failure/other start signals, the diesel engine fire pump can automatically start and enter full load operation within 5 seconds. The battery can be automatically charged by the main power supply or the diesel charging motor to ensure the smooth start of the equipment; automatic alarm protection for low oil pressure, high water temperature and other faults of the diesel engine, overspeed alarm and shutdown; the diesel engine fire pump is in a hot engine standby state to ensure emergency work. The diesel engine fire pump adopts the direct connection technology between the diesel engine and the water pump. Through the elastic coupling, the failure points are reduced, the start-up time of the unit is greatly shortened, and the reliability and emergency performance of the unit are improved.

The EJ Dual Power Fire Pump System is an innovative and reliable fire protection solution. Combining an electric pump for robust water pressure and flow with a top-quality jockey pump for stable pressure maintenance, this system ensures efficient and timely water supply during fires.

The fire pump is a high-tech product, which is characterized by high efficiency, fast pumping speed, very strong sealing, and low leakage, which can also be said to be no leakage. The use of fire pumps is very extensive, of course, the most important one is used in the fire protection industry, it is also used in water treatment, environmental protection industry and so on. Among these uses, the fire protection industry uses the most. The fire protection industry makes full use of the advantages of fire pumps, which is the advantage of fast pumping. Because most of the work in the fire protection industry is to extinguish fires, the fire pump plays a very important role. Fire pumps are not just used in the firefighting industry. Fire pumps are also used in many other places. In larger industries, such as industry, as well as urban water supply and drainage, and water transportation for the construction of high-rise buildings, there is also water delivery over relatively long distances. There are also smaller industries, such as heating and boilers.

EEJ fire pump set is composed of two electric pumps and one jockey pump. The fire pump adopts ISW pump, which has the characteristics of convenient installation and convenient maintenance, and is widely used in any fire emergency situation.

Firefighting pumps are critical assets in disaster response and emergency management scenarios, where rapid and effective fire suppression is essential for protecting lives and property. These pumps can be deployed in various emergency situations, including natural disasters like wildfires, earthquakes, and floods, as well as human-made disasters such as industrial accidents or terrorist attacks.

Firefighting pumps are often integrated with other firefighting equipment and systems, such as fire hoses, fire hydrants, sprinkler systems, and fire suppression systems. This integration ensures a coordinated and comprehensive approach to fire protection and emergency response, enabling firefighters to work together seamlessly to combat fires and protect communities.

The basis for the selection of fire pumps should be based on the process flow, water supply and drainage requirements, and be considered from five aspects, namely, liquid delivery volume, device lift, liquid properties, pipeline layout, and operating conditions. Fire pumps are mainly divided into vertical and horizontal types. The flow rate of the conveying liquid is one of the important performance data for pump selection. It is directly related to the production capacity of the entire device. The working conditions of the fire pump: flow rate: 2～1400m3/h, Head: 5～130m, maximum working pressure of the system: ≤1.6MPa, working temperature: -15℃～+80℃.

The diesel engine fire pump has automatic, manual and fault self-checking functions.

Diesel engine fire pumps can be used for fire water supply in warehouses, docks, airports and other places. We usually choose the appropriate diesel engine fire pump model application according to the head, flow rate, power, medium properties, required materials, etc. provided by the user. In order to avoid mistakes, the loss caused by the installation environment will also be considered comprehensively to ensure stable and reliable efficiency.

The biggest problem in the event of a fire is to ensure continuous fire-fighting power. If the fire is not extinguished in time due to insufficient supply of raw materials, it will cause huge economic losses. Therefore, high-quality fire pumps must be selected to avoid quality problems. , resulting in irreparable damage.

Fire pumps installed in hazardous environments, such as areas with flammable gases or vapors, need to meet specific safety standards. Explosion-proof components and adherence to relevant regulations are crucial.
