What are some best practices for maintaining diesel fire pumps in optimal condition?

Fire pumps are part of the applied water supply and are powered by electricity, diesel. They activate when the pressure in the fire sprinkler system drops below a certain level and provide a flow of water to the sprinkler system at very high pressure, which is then discharged onto the fire.

“Fire-fighting gas top-pressure water supply equipment is usually composed of basic components such as air-pressure water tanks, control cabinets, top-pressure gas storage systems, and decompression release devices; in the fire-fighting state, compressed gas is charged into the air-pressure water tank to replace the fire-fighting water storage in the tank. , and always maintain the rated working pressure of fire protection, and the fixed fire water supply equipment that supplies water to the fire pipe network.”

The electric pump of the EDJ fire pump group is the main pump, the diesel engine pump is the backup pump, and the jockey pump plays a role in the stabilization of the whole system. When the electric pump fails or the mains is cut off, the control cabinet will receive electricity from the The signal from the contact pressure gauge will start the diesel engine pump within 5 seconds, and reach the rated working condition within 20 seconds to ensure the normal operation of the fire extinguishing work.

In order to match the service cycle of the fire pump, the inspection of the diesel engine and the fire pump should be regularly checked, and the parts to be replaced or repaired should be adjusted and corrected in a timely manner. We need to check the fuel tank reserves and oil quality of the diesel engine fire pump every day; the usage of the battery; the cooling system, etc., the pump shaft, impeller, bearing, and the wear of the water pipe and filter screen of the water pump. (Diesel engines of different brands may be different, and should be checked and maintained according to the specific model and structure of the diesel engine).

With proper maintenance, a fire pump can last 15-20 years or longer. However, components such as seals, bearings, and impellers may need replacement during this period.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has established standards and guidelines governing the installation and maintenance of fire pumps. NFPA 20, the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, provides comprehensive requirements for fire pump design, installation, testing, and maintenance.

Compliance with NFPA 20 standards is essential to ensure that fire pump systems are installed and maintained in a manner that meets nationally recognized safety practices. These standards help ensure the reliability and effectiveness of fire pumps in protecting lives and property during fire emergencies.

CDL stainless steel vertical multistage pump is especially suitable for boiler feed water, and can also be widely used in pressure vessel water supply, hot water circulation, high-rise building water supply, farmland irrigation, fire pressurization, hydraulic flushing, food, brewing, medicine, chemical industry, aquaculture , environmental protection, chemical process and machine tool supporting industries, as the power equipment for water supply and drainage.

The diesel engine fire pump is suitable for unattended emergency water supply systems. The product has the characteristics of good technology, high degree of automation, superior performance, complete protection functions, reasonable structure, simple installation, and high cost performance. pipe network pressure.

Diesel pumps can be combined with electric pumps, jockey pumps, etc. to form an automatic water fire-fighting water supply system, and can be linked with the fire control center.

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.

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 (can be equipped with a clutch) is combined with the fire pump through a highly elastic coupling to form a fire pump unit. The unit also includes diesel tanks, cooling water tanks, fans, control panels (for automatic units) and other components.
When the unit is automatically controlled, the split or diesel engine automatic control cabinet (programmable) realizes the automatic start, input, and automatic switching of the system (switching from the electric pump group to the diesel engine pump group or from this group of diesel engine pump groups to another group of diesel engines) pump set), automatic protection (diesel engine overspeed, low oil pressure, high water temperature, three start failures, low oil level, low battery voltage and other alarm shutdown protection) and other functions, and can also interface with the user’s fire center or automatic fire alarm device, Realize remote monitoring.

The diesel engine fire pump has automatic, manual and fault self-inspection functions. It can monitor the working status of the whole process, restore the fault start, automatic pre-lubrication and preheating automatic restart function, and make the equipment start safer and more reliable. It has the functions of central control room remote control, remote transmission control and field bus connection. The battery is fully automatic floating charging (constant current, constant voltage, trickle charging) mode to ensure that the battery is in a standby state at any time. The diesel engine fire pump is easy to use, equipped with remote transmission meters and meters, which can be connected to the control center as needed, easy to install and use, and easy to maintain.
