When the pump set receives the starting command, if the mains power is cut off, the automatic control cabinet of the diesel engine will immediately send a start signal to the starting motor of the pump set to start the motor to start the diesel engine at idle speed, and then gradually adjust the throttle to accelerate the diesel engine to the rated speed . The control system will automatically monitor the operation of the diesel engine, such as the oil pressure, oil temperature, speed of the diesel engine, outlet pressure of the water pump, etc., and determine whether the diesel engine starts normally through automatic monitoring. If the start fails, the control system will send a restart signal, and if the three starts fail, the automatic control system will send a failure alarm. When the pump set receives a signal that the pressure of the pipeline network is restored or the mains power is restored to normal, the pump set will quickly slow down and stop automatically after monitoring the idle position for a period of time.

When selecting a firefighting pump, it’s essential to consider factors such as the type and size of fires likely to be encountered, the terrain and accessibility of the area, the availability of water sources, and the expertise of the operators.

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 drive circuit. With dual-power fire pumps, there is no need to configure a second fire pump, which reduces floor space and saves manufacturing costs.

In fire protection systems that include fire hydrants, jockey pumps play a key role in maintaining the necessary system pressure to ensure hydrants are immediately ready for use. Fire hydrants are typically located throughout a property or a city to provide easy access to water for firefighting efforts. The jockey pump helps maintain a consistent pressure in the piping network that supplies these hydrants, ensuring they are always charged and ready to deliver water when a firefighter opens them. This is especially important in systems with extensive piping networks, where pressure fluctuations could occur due to minor leaks, thermal expansion, or water usage. By keeping the system pressurized, jockey pumps help ensure a rapid response during a fire emergency, providing critical support to firefighting operations.
