Answer: First of all, we must understand the relationship between pressure and lift: pressure = liquid density * g * lift (g = 0.981). In fact, the fire water pump can not only transport water, as long as the physical and chemical characteristics and water liquid are fine, but most of them transport water in daily life. The density of water is 1 ton per cubic meter. It can be obtained from the above formula : Pressure=1000*0.981*lift, pressure=0.981*lift, at this time the pressure and lift are almost the same, so whether we refer to lift or pressure, it can basically be regarded as a parameter.

Fire pump package comprises a combination of electric motor driven pump, diesel engine driven and electric motor driven jockey pumps that supply for fire suppression systems.

A multistage pump refers to a pump with two or more impellers, which can absorb and press water in multiple stages, so as to lift the water to a high position. The lift can be increased or decreased according to the needs of the pump impeller. The multistage pump can be equipped with a four-stage motor by increasing the number of impellers when the single-stage pump head needs to be equipped with a two-stage motor, which can improve the service life of the pump and reduce the noise of the unit.

Diesel engine pump set is driven by diesel oil without external power supply. Diesel engine pump is suitable for agricultural irrigation, emergency rescue, smelting, hangars, petrochemical oil depots, power plants, liquefied gas stations, textiles and other fire-fighting water supply occasions, especially in the absence of electricity, When the power grid is not satisfied, it is the safest choice to use a diesel engine to drive the water pump.

Double power fire pump product advantage is that when a fire occurs, a more reliable way to ensure water safety, in the normal power supply when the electric pump group into work, when the power supply failure, the electric fire pump can not be normally put into use, the diesel fire pump group can automatically put into operation to ensure the normal fire fighting.

Control Panel: The control panel houses electrical controls and monitoring devices for the fire pump. It typically includes components such as motor starters, switches, gauges, and alarms. The control panel allows for manual or automatic operation of the fire pump and provides critical information about pump performance and status.

Industrial manufacturing plants often deal with hazardous materials, heavy machinery, and complex processes, making fire safety a critical concern. Fire pumps are essential in these facilities for delivering sufficient water pressure to fire suppression systems like sprinklers, standpipes, and specialized suppression systems, such as foam or gas-based systems used for chemical fires. Jockey pumps help maintain pressure in these extensive systems, ensuring they are always ready to activate immediately. In many industrial plants, fire pumps need to handle large volumes of water to cover expansive areas like production floors, storage facilities, and hazardous material zones. Additionally, fire suppression systems must be designed to address specific risks, such as oil-based fires, electrical hazards, or flammable chemicals. Fire pumps in these environments require regular maintenance and testing to ensure they remain reliable, especially given the high risk of equipment malfunction or accidents in such settings. Integrating the fire pump system with automated fire detection systems, alarms, and emergency response protocols is critical for minimizing damage and protecting workers in the event of a fire.
