What are the common problems of fire pump?

The vertical multistage centrifugal pump set cooperates with the main pump to take water from the pool and transport it to the system to maintain the system pressure.
The pressure stabilizer pump of the “stabilized high pressure” fire water supply system must be kept in operation at ordinary times to maintain the pressure of the pipe network. In the event of a fire, it should still be able to run for a period of time until the main fire pump is started. Set up the booster pump. Because the constant pressure pump needs to keep running all the time, which wastes energy, and the constant pressure pump is in working state for a long time, it has high requirements on its service life, so this method is no longer used in the project.

1. Disconnect all electrical power to the fire pump and diesel engine.

2. Remove the fire pump and diesel engine from the mounting surface.

3. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and disconnect the fuel lines from the engine.

9. Disassemble the pump and engine into individual components.

10. Clean and inspect all parts for wear and damage.

11. Reassemble the pump and engine and reinstall on the mounting surface.

12. Reconnect the fuel lines and hoses and refill the cooling system.

13. Reconnect all electrical power to the fire pump and diesel engine.

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

Fire pump installations must consider factors such as temperature, humidity, and potential flooding. Pumps should be installed in environments that protect them from extreme conditions to ensure reliable operation.
