Detailed explanation of Jockey pump

 Jockey pump is a kind of fire pump. It is used to stabilize the pressure of automatic sprinkler system and fire hydrant water supply system, so that the water pressure of the system is always in the required pressure state. Once the sprinkler or fire hydrant has water, it can flow out to meet the requirements of fire fighting water. Water volume and water pressure.

Both the Jockey pump and the booster pump are a kind of fire pump constant pressure facility. The pressure-stabilizing pump operates when the sprinklers and fire hydrants have not flowed out, and the booster pump works when the sprinklers and fire hydrants have discharged water, and the water pressure of the fire fighting water is insufficient and the water pressure needs to be increased. The stabilized pump is different from the booster pump. It is used to keep the self-sprinkling system and the fire hydrant system always in the required pressure conditions, and once the flow is out, it can meet the water pressure and water volume requirements for fire fighting water. Its function is very obvious, so the booster water pump referred to in the specification actually refers to the stabilized pump, especially the stabilized pump of the automatic sprinkler system.
When the pressure of the fire pipe network (spray, fire hydrant) is higher than the set (design value), the booster pump automatically stops running. When the pressure of the fire pipe network (sprinkler, fire hydrant) is lower than the set (design value), the booster pump will automatically start.
