What considerations are necessary for jockey pumps in cold climates?

There are many types of fire-fighting equipment, fire hydrants and fire extinguishers are a common category, and there is also a category of fire pumps, which can be described as the heart of the fire-fighting system and play an important role in pressurising the water supply for the fire-fighting system. Among the many fire pump products, fire pumps can be divided into multi-stage and single-stage fire pumps.

Multi-stage pumps have high efficiency, corrosion resistance, reliable operation and other properties, strong bearing capacity of the pump body, strong resistance to overload and more sensitive start. Ltd. introduces you to the relevant features of multi-stage pumps. First of all, Shanghai Xizhiquan multi-stage pumps have a compact structure, with small spacing between parts and small volume. The equipment runs smoothly, has a long service life and produces less vibration during operation, so the practical life of the equipment is correspondingly long.

With its unique structure, the direction of the water inlet and outlet can be adjusted according to different needs, so it is suitable for various place environments. The direction of the inlet and outlet is horizontal, which reduces the number of bends in the pipeline connection, thus simplifying the pipeline connection and greatly enhancing the efficiency of the fire fighting system.

The efficient operation of the multistage pump is used in many larger, more demanding fire-fighting locations. Its role is mainly to play a role in the fire fighting pipeline system to pressurise and send water, multi-stage pumps are not only suitable for all kinds of fire fighting systems, but also for industrial drainage, high-rise building water pressure supply, long-distance water delivery, water circulation pressure and other occasions.

A fire pump starts when the pressure in the fire protection system drops below a set threshold, indicating water flow caused by sprinkler activation or manual use of a fire hose. The pressure drop is detected by pressure-sensing devices, triggering the fire pump to activate and provide adequate water pressure.

Diesel engine fire pumps are relatively common in life, and their performance requirements are relatively high. In ordinary use, more attention should be paid to maintenance, so as to prolong the service life of the pump. Because diesel fire pumps are not omnipotent, there will be some problems in daily use, so when choosing equipment, we must pay attention to whether the quality of the equipment meets the national standards. As fire equipment, all kinds of equipment must be To ensure performance, avoid affecting use in disaster situations and delaying rescue.

Maintaining fire pumps and jockey pumps is essential for ensuring their reliable operation in an emergency. Best practices for maintenance include regular inspection and testing of the pumps, checking for leaks, corrosion, and wear on components, and ensuring that all electrical connections and control systems are functioning correctly. It is also important to perform routine flow tests to verify that the pumps can deliver the required water flow and pressure as specified by design standards and regulatory codes. Lubrication of moving parts, replacement of worn-out seals and gaskets, and calibration of pressure sensors and alarms should also be part of a comprehensive maintenance program. Additionally, keeping detailed records of all inspections, tests, and maintenance activities helps track the condition of the pumps over time and identify potential issues before they lead to failure.

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.

Diesel fire pumps are ideal for applications where a separate pump room already exists or where the pump room is located on an exterior wall. Facilities using diesel fire pumps include warehouses, aircraft hangars and industrial facilities. Since they have a larger footprint than electric fire pumps, they are not suitable for installations where space is small. Unlike diesel pumps, electric fire pumps can be located inside buildings. Office buildings and apartments are often equipped with electric fire pumps. In addition, upper floors sometimes install an additional electric fire pump above ground or basement to increase water pressure.

The main reason to have a fire pump is to work with the fire protection system in case the water supply does not have sufficient pressure. High structures or large warehouses that carry large amounts of water require the help of a fire pump. It increases the pressure of the water flowing into the fire suppression system, allowing the system to release the maximum amount of water while extinguishing the fire.

At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower, which can reduce the performance of fire pumps. To compensate for this, fire pumps may need to be oversized or specially configured to deliver the necessary pressure and flow in high-altitude environments. Proper planning and design are essential to ensure that the system functions effectively under these conditions.

Although the electric fire pump has the advantages of simple operation and maintenance, the design specifications of most fire protection systems stipulate that when using the electric fire pump set, it should have the condition of double circuit power supply, and usually should have the diesel engine fire pump set as a backup pump set. Electric fire pump sets are driven by electric motors, and there are many varieties with different structures such as horizontal and vertical. The electric fire pump set has a small footprint, light weight, low noise, and good start-up and operation performance.

1. Perform regular maintenance on the fire pump as recommended by the pump manufacturer.

2. Visually inspect the fire pump periodically and repair any damages or leaks detected.
