Fire pumps are typically started automatically when the fire sprinkler system detects a pressure drop caused by the activation of one or more sprinklers. This automatic start is usually controlled by a pressure switch or controller.

1. Electric fire pump: various end suction pumps and split pumps.
2. jockey pump: vertical, small flow, higher lift than electric or diesel pumps.
3. Control panel: Automatically control the water pump with overload and overcurrent protection.
4. Accessories: suction pipe, discharge pipe with flange, battery, gate valve, check valve, flexible expansion joint, pressure switch, pressure gauge, base, etc.

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 pump is a general term for special pumps involved in water supply of various fire systems. The fire pump model is XBD. Fire pumps must be tested and approved by relevant national units before they can be used in various fire protection systems in buildings, such as: fire hydrant system, sprinkler fire extinguishing system, foam fire extinguishing system, large space high-altitude water cannon, water mist fire extinguishing system, rain shower fire extinguishing systems, water curtains, etc.

Maintaining fire pumps and jockey pumps is essential for ensuring their reliable operation in an emergency. Best practices for maintenance include regular inspection and testing of the pumps, checking for leaks, corrosion, and wear on components, and ensuring that all electrical connections and control systems are functioning correctly. It is also important to perform routine flow tests to verify that the pumps can deliver the required water flow and pressure as specified by design standards and regulatory codes. Lubrication of moving parts, replacement of worn-out seals and gaskets, and calibration of pressure sensors and alarms should also be part of a comprehensive maintenance program. Additionally, keeping detailed records of all inspections, tests, and maintenance activities helps track the condition of the pumps over time and identify potential issues before they lead to failure. Regular training for personnel on the operation and maintenance of fire pumps further enhances system reliability and readiness.

EDJ multi-stage fire pump consists of electric pump, diesel engine pump and jockey pump. The electric pump is the working pump, and the diesel engine is the backup. The more impellers used in the multi-stage electric pump, the higher the lift. This product can run in the event of a power failure and is suitable for any emergency firefighting occasions, mainly used for the top of high-rise buildings or towers water supply, etc.

1. When the pipeline fire pump noise occurs, the most likely fault is the imbalance of the fire pump rotor. Since the water output of the fire pump mainly depends on the high-speed rotation of the rotor, when the rotor is unbalanced for some reason, it will cause the fire pump to deviate from the original rotation track during the rotation process, resulting in the fire pump appearing in the pipeline. When judging the failure of the rotor, it is mainly to replace the rotor of the pump or make a balance hole on the rotor blade of the pump to find out the balance difference.

2. The production noise of the fire pump pipeline has a certain effect. For example, forcing a small flow of a pipe “fire pump” to increase power to increase the original flow will create vibrations in the fire pump. Therefore, whether you use a pipeline fire pump or other types of water pumps, you should follow the water pump use standards to prevent the water pump from making noise, which will affect the service life of the water pump. The solution is to use the pump according to the instructions. If the efficiency of use is affected, it is recommended to replace the appropriate pipeline “fire pump” for use.

3. The installation did not meet the standards, resulting in abnormal noise from the pipeline fire pump. Fire pumps and fire hydrant pumps vibrate at a high frequency during operation, so they must be fixed during installation. If the bolt between the pump body and the base or between the base and the base is loose when installing the pipe fire pump, the transmission shaft between the pump body and the motor of the pipe pump will be bent. It lowered the concentricity and caused an imbalance in the fire pump rotor. This is one of the noise phenomena of fire pumps. In order to improve this phenomenon, the pump shaft of the fire pump needs to be balanced and then reinstalled. Finally, the base of the pump was reinforced.

4. Blockage of the impeller passage can also cause fire pump noise. When the internal flow channel of the fire pump is blocked by foreign matter, it will cause uneven resistance of the fire pump impeller and vibrate the fire pump. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly disassemble and maintain the fire pump to prevent foreign matter from blocking the pipeline.

5. The bearing of the fire pump is damaged. Bearing damage generally does not occur on the main body of an in-line fire pump. If there is a problem with the quality of the pump, or because some hard objects enter the pump body of the tube pump, the bearing is damaged, and the rotor is unstable at first. Causes noise from pipeline fire pumps.

6. Finally, cavitation, cavitation occurs in any type of pump, but some are obviously not noticeable. If cavitation occurs, consider raising the fire pump or increasing the pressure in the piping. If the cavitation phenomenon cannot be changed, the fire pump model needs to be redesigned and replaced.

In cold climates, jockey pumps must be designed and installed with specific considerations to prevent freezing and ensure reliable operation. This includes using heat tracing or insulation on piping and pump components exposed to low temperatures to prevent ice formation that could block water flow. Jockey pumps may also be housed in heated enclosures or indoor pump rooms to maintain a consistent temperature around the equipment. Additionally, the selection of antifreeze solutions or special materials resistant to cold temperatures can help protect the pump from damage. Regular monitoring and maintenance are also essential to ensure that the jockey pump remains operational and that the fire protection system is always ready to respond, even in harsh winter conditions.
