What role do jockey pumps play in maintaining system pressure in systems with fire hydrants?

In fire protection systems that include fire hydrants, jockey pumps play a key role in maintaining the necessary system pressure to ensure hydrants are immediately ready for use. Fire hydrants are typically located throughout a property or a city to provide easy access to water for firefighting efforts. The jockey pump helps maintain a consistent pressure in the piping network that supplies these hydrants, ensuring they are always charged and ready to deliver water when a firefighter opens them. This is especially important in systems with extensive piping networks, where pressure fluctuations could occur due to minor leaks, thermal expansion, or water usage. By keeping the system pressurized, jockey pumps help ensure a rapid response during a fire emergency, providing critical support to firefighting operations.

    More Fire Pump Set

    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.
