What are the types of fire pumps?

Fire pumps for firefighting are mainly used to deliver water to pipelines, or to drain water in cities and industries, and to deliver water to high-rise buildings. This is similar to the need to deliver water due to some cold and hot cycles in long-distance situations. What kind of equipment is used.

The equipment is designed to have one duty and one standby function. The main electric pump runs normally, and the standby diesel pump starts automatically after the main pump fault . The Jocky pump will start and stop based on the pipe pressure, Control panel site start.

A fire pump is part of the water supply for a fire sprinkler system and is powered by electricity, diesel or steam. It uses water from an external source to increase water flow and pressure. The pump inlet is either connected to a public groundwater supply line or to a static water source. The pump provides higher pressure water flow to the sprinkler system risers and hose risers. Fire pumps must be tested monthly and annually to ensure they are operating as designed. These two different tests are called the monthly “churn” test and the annual flow test.

EDJ fire pump set is composed of electric pump + diesel engine pump + jockey pump. The fire pump set has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving, reliable quality, strong overload capacity, compact structure, convenient maintenance and high degree of automation. Suitable for any emergency firefighting occasion.

Diesel engine fire pumps can be used to transport clear water below 80°C without solid particles or liquids with physical and chemical properties similar to water. Under the premise of meeting the fire protection conditions, the requirements of the living and production water supply conditions are taken into account. The products can be used not only in independent fire water supply systems, but also in fire protection and domestic shared water supply systems, as well as in construction, municipal, industrial and mining, water supply and drainage, ships, field operations and other occasions.

Electric fire pumps are widely used in our production and life, such as in water treatment, fire safety and other departments. After the reform and opening up, it is widely used in life and production due to its characteristics of complete sealing, no leakage, and corrosion resistance.

Fire pumps are necessary because municipal water supplies might not always provide sufficient water pressure to effectively fight fires in large buildings or areas. Fire pumps boost the water pressure to ensure proper coverage and firefighting capabilities.

The diesel engine fire pump has the characteristics of good starting performance, serious load operation, compact structure, time-saving and labor-saving maintenance, simple application, and high level of automatic control technology. It is a security monitoring device with reliable performance. The full name of the diesel engine fire pump we usually say is the engineering diesel fire pump set, which can operate at an ambient temperature of -25~55°C, and can be automatically charged, automatically started, and has the functions of automatic alarm and automatic preheating. It is very reliable.

According to customer requirements, the fire pump set is composed of electric pump, diesel pump and jockey pump. Both manual and automatic operation are available. The three pumps are automatically switched and can work even when power is off. Our company is a professional The company has a professional sales and technical team, which can be customized according to its own needs.

The equipment is suitable for fire water supply and emergency water supply in various occasions such as warehouses, docks, airports, petroleum, chemical, factories, power plants, liquefied gas, textiles, ships, cruise ships, etc.

Diesel engine fire pump unit is a kind of pump equipment that is widely used in fire protection, and it is more suitable for mobile work in fire pumps. In fact, it is driven by a diesel engine connected to the pump head of the fire pump. Compared with motor drive, it can be used in the field, mines, and places lacking power supply. It is also called a diesel engine pump or a diesel engine fire pump unit.

The electric fire pump set has the advantages of quick start, reliable water diversion, stable operation, high degree of automation, wide range of pressure and flow, etc. It is an advanced and reliable fixed fire-fighting equipment. It is mainly used in fire water supply and foam fire extinguishing systems in industries such as petroleum, chemical industry, natural gas, power plants, textiles, wharves, gas stations, storage, high-rise buildings, etc.

Diesel fire pumps offer distinct advantages over other types of fire pumps, such as electric or jockey pumps. Unlike electric pumps, which rely on grid power and may be vulnerable to power outages, diesel fire pumps can operate independently, making them suitable for use in areas with unreliable electricity or during emergencies. Jockey pumps, on the other hand, are typically used to maintain pressure in fire sprinkler systems but may not provide the same flow rates or firefighting capacity as diesel fire pumps.
