The EDJ （Diesel Pump:IS, Electric Pump:ISW）Diesel Engine Fire Pump System is a powerful and reliable firefighting equipment designed for fire suppression and emergency rescue operations. It boasts high-performance capabilities in water extraction and pressure delivery, enabling rapid supply of large volumes of water. The system operates independently, ensuring its reliability even in challenging situations. With its lightweight and portable design, coupled with versatile functionality, the EDJ Diesel Engine Fire Pump System is suitable for various scenarios. Whether you are part of a fire department or an industrial enterprise, the EDJ Diesel Engine Fire Pump System is your indispensable rescue partner.

The fire pump set consists of two electric pumps & jockey pump along with control panel and accessories. It means duty pump and standby pump are electric pumps, without diesel engine pump. The fire pump set is designed to meet 65m³/h@60m.

Problem one lower water or no water
1, electric pump reversal will lead to the pump doesn’t produce water.
2, the pump can’t normal water into the same can’t be water, check whether the water bay or check stopcock is blocked or stuck, pumping pipe if there’s a leak will also affect the water into the water.
3, the pump internal corridor of the wear and tear or connection out, check the pump and motor coupling wear and tear, loose and impeller is worn.

Problem two ：
1 、 Check the power force as described over, including connectors, switches, fuses,etc.
2. Check whether the impeller in the pump is jammed by foreign objects
3. A burnt motor will also affect the launch of the pump.

Problem three the water affair is big for a while and small for a while
1. still, the lack of depth down the well may beget this problem, If the pump is a submersible pump.
2. The inflow rate of the pump is too high and needs to be replaced with a suitable pump.

Diesel engine fire pump, as a fixed fire extinguishing equipment, has been widely used in fire diversion, especially in emergencies such as no power supply or abnormal power supply, it can also be equipped with other diesel engines as power machines according to the needs of users.

The fire pump is the necessary water intake equipment for fire-fighting facilities. At least one or two fire pumps are equipped. The commonly used fire pumps are electric fire pumps and diesel engine fire pumps. The difference between the two is that the electric fire pump needs power system supply. The electric diesel engine fire pump can be started at any time to fill the position of the original electric fire pump.

1. Connection form

The vertical water pump is connected with the motor by the coupling, which needs to be aligned regularly; the perpendicular water pump is superimposed and connected from the bottom to the top, and the perpendicular water pump is generally called the channel pump.

2. Installation form

Compared with perpendicular water pumps, perpendicular water pumps are easier to install. The vertical pump set is handed with a base, and perfection adaptation is needed after installation.

3. conservation difficulty

Since the perpendicular water pump is composed of upper and lower layers, the conservation of the perpendicular water pump is more delicate. For illustration, to repair the impeller, it’s necessary to remove all the corridor above the impeller before repairing; while the vertical water pump is fairly easy. For illustration, the IS type pump can perform impeller conservation by removing the bay pipe.

4. bottom space

It can be seen from the appearance that the vertical water pump has a base due to its vertical structure, so it occupies a large area.

Diesel engine fire pump is also called “engineering diesel engine fire pump set”. The diesel engine fire pump set has the characteristics of good starting characteristics, strong overload capacity, compact and reasonable structure, convenient maintenance, simple and reliable use, etc. The unit is equipped with protection functions such as overspeed, low oil pressure, three start failures, high water temperature, low oil level, and low battery voltage.
