What is the role of diesel engine fire pump?

Fire pumps are often required to have backup power sources, such as diesel generators or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), to ensure they function during power outages.

Yes, various national and international standards and regulations govern the design, performance, and installation of firefighting pumps. It’s essential to ensure that the pump you choose complies with relevant standards and meets the requirements of local building and fire codes.

A churn test involves running the fire pump without discharging water to ensure it starts and runs correctly. It is important for verifying the pump’s operational readiness and identifying potential issues that need maintenance.

Single stage centrifugal pump includes pump body, pump cover, motor with output shaft, pump shaft, bearing seat, impeller, mechanical seal and mechanical seal gland installed in the pump body, which are connected with the motor through extended elastic coupling. The rotation direction of the pump, viewed from the driving end, is clockwise. Wanfulong is characterized in that it also includes a clip on coupling arranged between the motor output shaft and the pump shaft, and a guide bearing installed on the bearing seat to assist in supporting the pump shaft; The wafer type coupling is rigidly connected with the motor output shaft and the pump shaft respectively, and a space distance is left between the motor output shaft and the pump shaft to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the mechanical seal and the mechanical seal gland. When repairing or replacing the mechanical seal, it is not necessary to disassemble the motor and pump cover.

EEJ Fire Pump Set means 2 electric pumps and 1 Jockey pump. The rated pressure is less than 150m. The speed is 2950 to 3550 RPM.

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.

Fire pumps are rated based on their capacity and pressure performance. The two key ratings are:

Gallons Per Minute (GPM): This rating indicates the pump’s flow capacity and how much water it can deliver per minute. It is essential to ensure that the fire pump can meet the specific flow requirements of the fire protection system.

Pressure (PSI): The pressure rating specifies the force with which the pump can deliver water. Sufficient pressure is critical for effectively propelling water through the fire sprinklers and hoses.

Understanding these ratings is vital when selecting a fire pump for a facility, as it ensures that the pump can meet the specific needs of the fire protection system.

Operation of Electric Fire Pump Before start: 1. Turning the clutch by hand, there should be no jammed phenomenon at the turner position. 2. Opening the inlet valve and the vent valve, letting the water fill into the pump’s chamber, then closing the vent valve. 3. Clicking the switch of motor, and confirming whether the turning is right ornot. Running: 1. Fully opening the inlet valves, and closing the valves of the outlet pipe. 2. Connecting the power, Opening the valves of the outlet pipe and adjusting the needed working point when the turning velocity is normal. 3. Watching whether there exist abnormalities or not, if yes, should the pump be stopped and inspected before re-running. Stop: 1. After turning off the outlet valves one by one, shutting off the power. 2. Shutting off the inlet valves. 3. If the ambient temperature is below 0℃, some warm-keeping measures should be adopted.

The vertical multistage centrifugal pump set cooperates with the main pump to take water from the pool and transport it to the system to maintain the system pressure.
The pressure stabilizer pump of the “stabilized high pressure” fire water supply system must be kept in operation at ordinary times to maintain the pressure of the pipe network. In the event of a fire, it should still be able to run for a period of time until the main fire pump is started. Set up the booster pump. Because the constant pressure pump needs to keep running all the time, which wastes energy, and the constant pressure pump is in working state for a long time, it has high requirements on its service life, so this method is no longer used in the project.

The fire pump refers to a clean water pump used for fire water supply, and a single pump that handles medium temperature below 80 degrees and is not corrosive. The pump set is the joint operation of multiple fire pumps to ensure the quantity and stability of the water supply. The electric motor fire pump group adopts multiple fire pumps powered by electric motors. 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 group are the motor and the pump body. The subdivision of the pump body is the pump casing, the impeller, the pump shaft, the bearing, the coupling, the sealing form, the lifting pipe, etc. The specific fire pump model is determined according to the environment and performance requirements. According to the material quotation required by the customer, accurate selection is beneficial to on-site use and reduces failure problems.

A fire pump controller manages the operation of the fire pump, including starting, stopping, and monitoring performance. It ensures the pump operates correctly during an emergency and complies with NFPA 20 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 can be completely separated from the mains.

There is a combination equipment that uses diesel as fuel for firefighting, but it is usually used as a backup firefighting facility, because it can only be started automatically when the firefighting signal comes, and the electric water pump fails or the power supply is cut off, that is, the diesel engine firefighting pump set. It is very different from the electric fire pump in that it has its own independent power supply and storage system.

Fire pump package comprises a combination of electric motor driven pump, diesel engine driven and electric motor driven jockey pumps that supply for fire suppression systems.
Fire pump package is required to comply with Local Civil Defense Authority regulations and International Codes of Practice e.g. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Diesel engine fire pumps are large-scale fire pumps. Diesel engine fire pumps are currently the hottest fire pumps on the market, especially in large warehouses, docks, airports, petrochemicals, power plants, and liquefied gas stations. This kind of fire pump with large flow and high power is often needed.

The small DJ fire pump equipment is suitable for small public places or fire emergency use. The small fire pump occupies a small area and is easy to maintain. The pump set is composed of diesel engine pump + jockey pump, which is widely used and is not affected by the mains.

With the characteristics of full sealing, no leakage and corrosion resistance, fire pumps are widely used in environmental protection, water treatment, fire protection and other departments. They are ideal pumps for building non-leakage, non-pollution civilized workshops and civilized factories. Our 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. If the power is cut off, the diesel engine fire pump can be started at any time to make up for the original position of the electric fire pump.

The fire pump can be installed in multiple ways according to the on-site use conditions. And depending on the flow and head requirements, the required flow and head are increased in parallel and series. The bearing adopts low-noise closed bearing, which has been injected with grease before leaving the factory, which can ensure continuous operation for more than two years, and the components have high concentricity. The pump impeller has good performance. Dynamic balance, no vibration in operation, and improved use environment. The pump shaft seal is a mechanical seal, which solves the serious leakage of conventional centrifugal pump packing, increases the service life, and ensures that the operating site is clean and tidy.

The parts that may cause friction when the pump rotates are all made of wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and high-anti-seize material combinations to ensure reliable operation, reduce noise, and avoid rust water, blocking spray and other fire-fighting devices, extending service life and after shutdown. Rust bite phenomenon.

The fire pump set adopts OTS pump.Series OTS pumps are single stage,double suction with horizontally split casings .They are suitable pumping unsettled water, clean water ,non-drinkable or hydrocarbon at a temperature not exceeded 105C.They are adoptable in water works irrigation and drainage pumping stations,fire fighting systems, marine applications as well as refinery industry,etc.
