Why do firefighters use multistage pumps?

Industrial manufacturing plants often deal with hazardous materials, heavy machinery, and complex processes, making fire safety a critical concern. Fire pumps are essential in these facilities for delivering sufficient water pressure to fire suppression systems like sprinklers, standpipes, and specialized suppression systems, such as foam or gas-based systems used for chemical fires. Jockey pumps help maintain pressure in these extensive systems, ensuring they are always ready to activate immediately. In many industrial plants, fire pumps need to handle large volumes of water to cover expansive areas like production floors, storage facilities, and hazardous material zones. Additionally, fire suppression systems must be designed to address specific risks, such as oil-based fires, electrical hazards, or flammable chemicals. Fire pumps in these environments require regular maintenance and testing to ensure they remain reliable, especially given the high risk of equipment malfunction or accidents in such settings. Integrating the fire pump system with automated fire detection systems, alarms, and emergency response protocols is critical for minimizing damage and protecting workers in the event of a fire.

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.

Jockey pumps help extend the lifespan of fire pumps by maintaining system pressure and preventing unnecessary cycling of the main fire pump. By handling minor pressure fluctuations and small leaks, jockey pumps reduce the wear and tear on fire pumps, which would otherwise start and stop frequently to maintain pressure. This reduced cycling minimizes mechanical stress on the fire pump’s components, such as bearings, seals, and impellers, thereby prolonging its operational life. Additionally, jockey pumps consume less power and operate more quietly than fire pumps, leading to energy savings and reduced noise pollution in facilities. By ensuring that fire pumps only operate during actual emergencies, jockey pumps contribute to the long-term reliability and efficiency of the fire protection system.

Jockey pumps are a vital component in maintaining the pressure within a fire protection system. Their primary role is to keep the system’s pressure within the desired range. When there’s no fire event, the jockey pump operates to counteract any pressure losses due to minor leaks or gradual pressure decreases in the system.

By maintaining system pressure, jockey pumps ensure that the primary fire pump is ready to respond quickly and efficiently when a fire occurs. This pressure stability is crucial for the proper functioning of the entire fire protection system, allowing for immediate water flow to sprinklers or hose connections.

1. Make sure all valves are open and the system is in good working order.

2. Check the fuel filter for any debris, and replace as needed.

3. Adjust the governor control to reduce the RPM of the engine, and limit fuel consumption.

4. Regularly inspect, clean and replace the air filter to ensure maximum efficiency.

5. Maintain the fuel injection system to minimize fuel wastage.

6. Use synthetic oil instead of petroleum-based engine oil.

7. Reduce the demand on the fire pump by using water pressure regulators or other available techniques.

8. Use the most efficient fuel type for the engine.

9. Use the most efficient nozzle size for the fire pump.

10. Use a variable frequency drive to reduce the engine speed and conserve energy.

Key components include the pump itself, the engine or motor, an intake system, a discharge system, and various safety features such as pressure relief valves.

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.

The diesel fire pump set is easy to maintain, has a high degree of automation, reliable performance, and a wide range of equipment pressure and flow. XBC type automatic diesel engine fire pump set, as a fixed fire extinguishing equipment, has been widely used in fire diversion, especially in fire water supply under unexpected circumstances such as no power supply or abnormal power supply (mains power).

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.

EDJ fire pump set is composed of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump.

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.

Fire pressurized and stabilized water supply equipment can make the fire water supply pipeline system the most unfavorable point always maintain the fire pressure, and the use of air pressure water tank always stored in the 30 seconds of fire water, to ensure the fire pump before the operation of the fire spray water; The device uses the operating pressure set by the air pressure water tank to control the operating condition of the pump and achieve the function of pressurization and pressure stabilization.

Suction and Discharge Connections: The fire pump has dedicated suction and discharge connections for the water supply and the distribution system, respectively. The suction connection draws water from a water source such as a reservoir or hydrant, while the discharge connection delivers the pressurized water to the fire protection system.

Diesel engine fire pump has the characteristics of high efficiency, wide performance range, safe and stable operation, low noise, long life, convenient installation and maintenance, etc. This diesel engine pump set can transport clean water or other liquids whose physical and chemical properties are similar to water. It can also be used to transport hot water, oil, corrosive or abrasive media by changing the material of the pump’s flow parts, sealing form and adding a cooling system.
