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.

There are several types of fire pumps, each designed for specific applications. Two common categories are centrifugal and positive displacement pumps.

Centrifugal pumps are widely used in fire protection systems due to their simplicity and reliability. They work by imparting kinetic energy to the water, which then exits the pump under pressure. These pumps are well-suited for maintaining consistent water pressure for fire suppression.

Positive displacement pumps, on the other hand, use a different mechanism. They trap water in a chamber and then force it into the discharge piping, creating pressure. Positive displacement pumps are typically used in situations where high pressure or low flow is required.

The choice of pump depends on the specific needs of the fire protection system and the facility it serves.

The basis for the selection of fire pumps should be based on the process flow, water supply and drainage requirements, and be considered from five aspects, namely, liquid delivery volume, device lift, liquid properties, pipeline layout, and operating conditions. Fire pumps are mainly divided into vertical and horizontal types. The flow rate of the conveying liquid is one of the important performance data for pump selection. It is directly related to the production capacity of the entire device. The working conditions of the fire pump: flow rate: 2～1400m3/h, Head: 5～130m, maximum working pressure of the system: ≤1.6MPa, working temperature: -15℃～+80℃.

Electric fire pumps are driven by electric motors, and are divided into horizontal, vertical and many other structural varieties. The electric fire pump set has a small footprint, light weight, low noise, and good start-up and operation performance. Although electric fire pumps have the advantages of simple operation and maintenance, most fire protection system design specifications stipulate that when electric fire pumps are used, they should have the conditions for dual-circuit power supply, and diesel engine fire pumps are usually used as backup pumps.

The EDJ Diesel Engine Fire Pump System is a powerful and reliable firefighting equipment designed for fire suppression and emergency rescue operations. It boasts high-performance capabilities in water extraction and pressure delivery, enabling rapid supply of large volumes of water. The system operates independently, ensuring its reliability even in challenging situations.

Pressure relief valves prevent over-pressurization in the fire pump system. They ensure safe operation by releasing excess pressure, protecting the pump and connected piping from damage.

In high-rise buildings, fire pumps and jockey pumps are critical components of the fire protection system, ensuring that water is delivered to the upper floors with sufficient pressure. Due to the height of these buildings, gravity significantly reduces water pressure as it travels upwards, making it essential for fire pumps to boost pressure to maintain effective firefighting capabilities. Jockey pumps maintain system pressure in between fire pump activations, compensating for minor leaks and ensuring the system is always primed. The design of these pumps in high-rise buildings often includes considerations for redundancy, with multiple pumps and backup power supplies to ensure continuous operation even during power outages or pump failures. This redundancy is vital in high-rise buildings, where a delay or failure in water delivery could have catastrophic consequences.

Fire pump is one of the fire-fighting equipment, its function is mainly used to transport water or other fire-extinguishing liquid for fire-fighting. Pumping water with equipment such as fire pumps has a very high water delivery efficiency. There are many types of fire pumps, and the air pumping methods of different fire pumps are also different. Sprinklers, fire hydrants, and water cannons and window sprays commonly used in business have the same pump-starting principle, but the fire-fighting linkage principle is different.
