What are the key differences between diesel and electric fire pumps?

As a fixed fire-fighting equipment, the diesel engine fire-fighting pump set has been widely used in fire-fighting diversion, especially for fire-fighting water supply in unexpected situations such as no power supply or abnormal power supply (mains power). According to the needs of users, it can also be equipped with other diesel engines as power engines.

In fire protection systems that include fire hydrants, jockey pumps play a key role in maintaining the necessary system pressure to ensure hydrants are immediately ready for use. Fire hydrants are typically located throughout a property or a city to provide easy access to water for firefighting efforts. The jockey pump helps maintain a consistent pressure in the piping network that supplies these hydrants, ensuring they are always charged and ready to deliver water when a firefighter opens them. This is especially important in systems with extensive piping networks, where pressure fluctuations could occur due to minor leaks, thermal expansion, or water usage. By keeping the system pressurized, jockey pumps help ensure a rapid response during a fire emergency, providing critical support to firefighting operations.

This fire fighting equipment is an important part of building fire protection system. Its
routine inspection and daily maintenance are very important for each dual-power. If the fire
pump or booster pressure stabilizer pump in the dual power system fails, the fire accident
will lead to great losses of buildings and so on. It is the responsibility of the enterprise to
ensure that all equipment is regularly maintained and inspected, including the maintenance
and maintenance of all fire fighting systems

Diesel engine fire pumps are usually used as a backup facility, and will only start automatically when the electric water pump fails or the power is cut 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 pump starting 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.

The biggest difference between the diesel engine fire pump and the electric water pump is that it has its own independent power supply system – the storage battery. Therefore, the start and operation of the diesel engine fire pump will not be completely dependent on city power.

The electric fire pump can supply fire water supply in general occasions. It has complete performance and a wide range of models. It can use single-stage single-suction pumps, multi-stage single-suction pumps, self-priming pumps, long-axis pumps and other pumps, and can also be combined in parallel. Wide range of flow and pressure. Electric fire pumps are widely used in fire water supply in warehouses, docks, airports, petrochemical, power plants and other industrial and mining enterprises. Larger flow and head. The temperature of the conveying medium can reach 80°C.

Fire pump system is made of Diesel+Jockey pump
1. Diesel engine pump, can use single stage pump, horizontal split case pump, end suction pump, multistage pump, material can be cast iron, stainless steel, and bronze impeller , with fuel tank, water tank，fan, control box
2. Jockey pump, horizontal or vertical, capacity will be small, but head should be higher than electric and diesel engine pump
Jockey material casing: cast iron, shaft and impeller: SS304

Fire pumps are part of the water supply to a fire sprinkler system and are powered by electricity, diesel or steam. The pump inlet is either connected to a public groundwater supply or to a static water source (e.g. tank, reservoir, lake). This pump provides higher pressure water flow to sprinkler system risers and hose risers.

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the reliability of outdoor fire pumps. This includes checking and changing engine oil, inspecting and cleaning intake strainers, testing pump operation, and ensuring all hoses and connections are in good condition. Additionally, regular testing and inspection by qualified professionals are recommended.

The DJ Fire Pump Set is a combination system consisting of a diesel engine pump and a jockey pump, designed for fire safety in the construction and industrial sectors. This system utilizes the powerful power output of the diesel engine pump, ensuring reliable operation even in the event of a power outage. The jockey pump maintains a constant water pressure, optimizing the performance of the fire suppression system. The DJ Fire Pump Set offers a reliable and efficient solution for prompt response to fire incidents, making it an essential component for protecting property and ensuring occupant safety.

Flow testing is a critical aspect of fire pump maintenance and compliance with safety standards. This article explores the fundamentals of fire pump flow testing, including procedures, equipment, and the significance of accurate testing to verify system performance. It discusses the relationship between flow testing and water distribution and highlights the need for regular testing to ensure optimal fire protection.

1. Check the system pressure and increase if necessary.
2. Check the seals and gaskets for wear and replace if needed.
3. Check the pipe joints for any leakage and repair if needed.
4. Replace any worn or damaged parts.
5. Check the valves for any leakage and repair if needed.
6. Check the suction and discharge lines for any obstruction and clear if necessary.
7. Inspect the pump for any signs of corrosion and repair or replace if needed.
8. Check and adjust the pressure settings if needed.
9. Perform regular maintenance and service of the pump.

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.

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

Our customer from Philippines ordered 2 sets small flow fire pump set Last month. The flow and head of this small fire pump set is 50gpm and 5bar. This electric fire pump system only includes electric fire pump and jockey pump.

The diesel engine fire pump and the electric fire pump are “one standby and one use”. The control boxes of the diesel engine fire pump and the electric fire pump should be kept independent of each other, and the diesel engine fire pump must be used as the backup pump of the electric fire pump, and cannot be used as backup for each other.

The pump start signal in the fire extinguishing system is directly connected to the electric fire pump control box, and it is not suitable to be connected to the diesel engine fire pump control box at the same time. The pump start fault signal of the electric fire pump control box and the pump start signal in the fire extinguishing system are used as the automatic start pump start signal of the diesel engine fire pump control box, and the line is connected to the control box of the diesel engine fire pump. The pump start failure signal of the diesel engine fire pump control box received an alarm from the fire control center. After receiving the alarm, the authorized personnel rushed to the pump room to force the diesel pump to start in an emergency.
