Start-up Function of Small Diesel Engine Fire Pump Set

In cold climates or areas prone to extreme weather, fire pumps face unique operational challenges that require careful design and maintenance. Freezing temperatures can cause water to freeze in the pipes, potentially damaging the fire pump and other components of the fire suppression system. To mitigate this, fire pumps may be installed in heated enclosures, and antifreeze solutions or dry-pipe systems are often used to prevent freezing. Jockey pumps help maintain system pressure, but in extreme weather, they must be monitored closely to ensure they don’t overcompensate for changes in pressure caused by temperature fluctuations. High winds, flooding, or snow accumulation can also impact the performance of fire pumps, especially in outdoor or exposed installations. Ensuring that fire pumps have robust weather protection, backup power supplies, and regular winterization procedures is critical for maintaining their reliability in harsh conditions. Additionally, these pumps should be designed with durable, weather-resistant materials to withstand long-term exposure to extreme environmental factors while still delivering dependable fire protection.

EDJ series fire pump set consists of Electric pump + Diesel pump + Jockey pump and all accessories.
The pressure switch and control cabinet can automatically turn on/off three pumps-the electric pump and jockey pump operate when there is electricity and the diesel pump activates when the power cuts,can work when the power is off.

Fire pumps typically draw water from a reliable source such as a dedicated water tank, municipal water supply, or open water source. It’s essential to ensure that the water supply is sufficient and free from contaminants.

The fire pump is naturally used in the fire water system, and the technology and raw materials used are all required on site. There are many types of fire pumps and different performances. There may be overlapping performance ranges or large differences in performance. We need to consider the specific functions of the site, such as electric motor fire pumps or diesel engine fire pumps, vertical long-axis fire pumps or horizontal split double pumps. Suction fire pump, horizontal single-stage fire pump, etc., we should choose according to actual needs.

Fire pump refers to a clean water pump used for fire water supply, and a single water pump with a treatment medium temperature lower than 80 degrees and non-corrosive. The pump unit is a joint operation of multiple fire pumps to ensure the quantity and stability of water supply. The electric fire pump set adopts multiple fire pumps powered by electric motors. The general fire water supply environment is equipped with one electric and one diesel fire pump as the reserve water pump to ensure sufficient emergency water consumption. The main components of the electric motor fire pump set are the motor and the pump body. The subdivision of the pump body is the pump casing, impeller, pump shaft, bearing, coupling, sealing form, water pipe, etc. The specific fire pump model is determined according to the environment and performance requirements. At the same time According to the material quotation required by the customer, accurate selection is conducive to on-site use and reduces failure problems.

Fire pumps are necessary to maintain adequate water pressure for firefighting, especially in high-rise buildings, large industrial facilities, or areas with insufficient water supply.

Using a fire pump efficiently and reasonably is crucial to ensure its optimal performance and effective firefighting capabilities. Here are some key considerations for using a fire pump efficiently:

Proper Sizing: Ensure that the fire pump is properly sized for the specific application.

Regular Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance on the fire pump to keep it in optimal condition.

Optimal Operating Speed: Operate the fire pump at the optimal speed based on the required flow rate and pressure.

Water Management: Manage the water supply efficiently to avoid unnecessary waste.

Training and Familiarization: Provide training to firefighters and operators on the proper operation of the fire pump.

Monitoring and Control: Utilize monitoring and control systems to optimize pump operation. These systems can provide real-time information on flow rates, pressures, and energy consumption. Use this data to adjust operating parameters as needed and identify any anomalies or inefficiencies that may require attention.

Shut Down When Not in Use: When the fire pump is not actively needed, consider shutting it down to conserve energy and reduce wear on the equipment.

Record Keeping: Maintain records of pump operation, maintenance activities, and any performance issues.

Efficient and reasonable use of a fire pump not only helps conserve resources but also ensures its readiness to combat fires effectively. By following proper operating procedures, conducting regular maintenance, and promoting a culture of efficiency among operators, the fire pump can operate optimally and provide reliable firefighting capabilities when needed most.

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.

Fire pumps are widely used in our production and life, such as in water treatment, fire safety and other departments. After the reform and opening up, it is widely used in life and production due to its characteristics of complete sealing, no leakage, and corrosion resistance.
