What are the environmental considerations when installing fire pumps and jockey pumps?

All places need to be equipped with fire-fighting facilities, and fire pumps are necessary water intake equipment for fire-fighting facilities. At least one or two fire pumps are equipped. The fire pumps we commonly use are electric fire pumps and diesel engine fire pumps. The difference between the two is The electric fire pump needs to be supplied by the power system. If the power is cut off, the diesel engine fire pump can be started at any time to make up for the original position of the electric fire pump.

NFPA 20 requires fire pumps to be powered by a continuously available power source, usually identified as an uninterruptible power source. In many cases, this requirement requires a backup generator to be provided as a backup power source in the event of a power failure, in which case the fire pump controller must be equipped with an automatic transfer switch. The choice of fire pump depends on the building infrastructure and available space. The most common choices for fire pump drives are electric motors and diesel engines.

Public transportation systems, including subway stations and railway terminals, are complex environments with high volumes of passengers and potential fire hazards from electrical equipment, flammable materials, and mechanical systems. Fire pumps are vital in these settings for delivering the water or suppression agents necessary to extinguish fires in tunnels, platforms, and adjacent facilities. Jockey pumps ensure constant pressure in the system, so fire suppression mechanisms like sprinklers, hydrants, and standpipes are always prepared to respond. Given the confined and underground nature of many transportation hubs, fire protection systems must be capable of addressing fires in tight, poorly ventilated spaces while facilitating the safe evacuation of passengers. The pumps also need to support fire hose connections for firefighters, who might need to cover long distances within tunnels or elevated railways. Regular inspections and emergency drills are essential to ensure that fire pumps are fully operational and integrated with ventilation and evacuation systems, providing a coordinated response to fire emergencies in these high-risk, densely populated environments.

XBD series fire pump set is mainly used for fire hydrant fire extinguishing system, automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing system, etc. in fixed fire fighting systems of various enterprises and institutions, engineering construction, high-rise buildings, etc. The chemical properties are similar to the medium of water, and it can also be used for fire protection, living, production, public water supply systems and buildings, municipal water supply and drainage, etc.

The minimum rated fire pressure of dual power is 0.3MPa, and the minimum rated fire
rated work flow is 2L/S. Dual power includes motor pumps, engine pumps, pressure
stabilization pumps, diaphragm pneumatic tanks, pipes, valves, electrical control systems,
control sensors and other related accessories driven by at least two power sources. Fire
water supply equipment is continuously supplied to the fire control network by preset mode.
The arrangement is reasonable, the installation is firm, the connection is reliable, the
structure is compact and neat, and is convenient for maintenance and overhaul

Prior to installation, fire sprinkler systems are hydraulically calculated to ensure adequate water flow and that the system can reliably suppress a fire until fire crews arrive. When it is determined that there is insufficient flow from a municipal supply for the system to function properly, a fire pump is installed. The fire pump activates when the sprinkler system pressure falls below a certain threshold as a result of sprinkler head operation. To maintain the required operating pressure of the sprinkler system, the fire pump draws additional water from the municipal water supply or on-site storage tanks. Due to the size of piping systems and pressure loss, fire pumps are frequently required in high rise construction and large area buildings.
