500gpm, 5bar fire fighting pump, export to Greece.Duty pump is electric fire pump, diesel engine fire pump as standby.

EDJ is our flagship product:
The conventional electric pump is the main pump, the diesel engine pump is the backup pump, and the voltage stabilizer pump plays a role in the stabilization of the whole system. When the electric pump fails or the mains is cut off, the control cabinet will receive the pressure gauge from the electric contact. When the signal comes, the diesel engine pump will be started within 5 seconds, and the rated working condition will be reached within 20 seconds to ensure the normal operation of the fire extinguishing work.

The EJ Pump Set is designed according to the customer’s specifications which is including 1 electric pumps, 1 jockey pump and 1 control panel.

DJ fire pump set is suitable for fire protection occasions such as warehouses, docks, airports, petrochemicals, power plants, liquefied gas, textiles, ships, oil tankers, etc.

The general fire water supply environment is equipped with one electric and one diesel fire pump as the reserve water pump to ensure sufficient emergency water consumption. The main components of the electric motor fire pump set are the motor and the pump body. The subdivision of the pump body is the pump casing, impeller, pump shaft, bearing, coupling, sealing form, water pipe, etc. The specific fire pump model is determined according to the environment and performance requirements. At the same time According to the material quotation required by the customer, accurate selection is conducive to on-site use and reduces failure problems.

The fire pump unit is composed of a fire water pump, a double shaft extension motor and a diesel engine. One end of the output shaft of the double shaft extension motor is connected to the input shaft of the fire water pump, and the other end of the output shaft of the double shaft extension motor is connected to a One end of the clutch is connected, the other end of the clutch is connected with the output shaft of the diesel engine, and the fire water pump, the double-shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are all fixed on the base. The double-shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are respectively electrically connected with a control circuit through an action drive circuit. With dual-power fire pumps, there is no need to configure a second fire pump, which reduces floor space and saves manufacturing costs.

The fire pump is usually equipped with a local control cabinet. The control cabinet does not have a transfer control switch for automatic and manual conversion, but the automatic control loop leaves start and stop contacts, which are connected to the fire alarm system control module. In addition, according to the relevant regulations, the system using the bus linkage control should also be set in the fire control room with buttons that can directly start and stop the pump. When the fire alarm system receives the signal of the fire hydrant start pump button, the control module automatically starts the fire pump and collects its feedback signal.

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. On 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.

Fire pumps have a wide range of uses. In addition to providing water for fire-fighting pipeline systems, they can also be used in industrial water supply. Fire pumps can also be used in urban water supply and drainage systems. There are other relatively long-distance water supply work, such as heating boilers, bathroom boilers, hot and cold water circulation pressurization of multi-stage fire pump boilers, etc.

ED small fire pump set (referred to as ED small fire complete set of water supply equipment) refers to a highly integrated electromechanical system with a flow rate of less than 100GPM and composed of electric centrifugal pumps, multi-stage centrifugal pumps (booster pump sets), diesel engine centrifugal pumps, pressure limiting protection Device (safety valve), valve fittings, control system, pressure sensor system, waterless protection device, backflow preventer, soft joint, bypass pipeline, common base, filter, etc. It is a fire-fighting water supply equipment that continuously supplies water to the fire-fighting pipe network at a preset pressure.

Common issues with firefighting pumps include priming failures, leaks, clogs, engine or motor problems, and inadequate water supply. Troubleshooting steps may include checking for obstructions, inspecting hoses and connections, verifying fuel and oil levels, and consulting the pump’s manual for troubleshooting guidance.
