First, what’s a water pump? It’s a device used to transport liquid, pressurize the liquid, and make the liquid from the first liquid position to the high liquid position. The first water pump constructed by the Chinese is called” water windmill”. latterly, around 300 BC, the emergence of the” Archimedes screw pump” is more analogous to ultramodern pumps. In addition, the following introductory knowledge points are what you must understand.
1. Centrifugal pump

Centrifugal pump is the most common type of pump. In simple terms, the working principle of centrifugal pump is to rotate the impeller to drive the liquid under the action of centrifugal force. The liquid leaves the impeller and enters the volute. As the inflow passage of the volute gradationally expands, the fluid haste slows down, and the pressure rises continuously, and eventually it’s discharged through the conduit.
2. Impeller
The impeller is one of the main factors in the water pump, and it’s the core element that transmits mechanical energy to the liquid. The impeller is substantially divided into three types open type,semi-open type and closed type. The material conditions for the impeller are high, wear resistance is needed, and the manufacturing process is good.

3. Cavitation

Cavitation is the conformation of numerous bitsy recesses when the liquid connections the liquid under high- speed inflow and pressure, and gradationally expands into grottoes when serious, and cavitation frequently occurs in the impeller and pump covering.

Fire pumps are part of the water supply to a fire sprinkler system and are powered by electricity or diesel. The pump inlet is either connected to a public groundwater supply or to a static water source (e.g. tank, reservoir, lake). This pump provides higher pressure water flow to sprinkler system risers and hose risers.
Our factory can manufacture NFPA20 compliant fire pumps.
Fire pumps can function with electric motors or diesel engines, and if local building codes require electricity independent of the local grid, pumps using electric motors can use the installation of an emergency generator when connected through a transfer switch listed.

When selecting a firefighting pump, factors such as the intended application (e.g., residential, industrial, wildland), required flow rate and pressure, available power source (e.g., gasoline, diesel, electric), portability, and budget should all be taken into account. Consulting with experts or fire safety professionals can help ensure you choose the right pump for your needs.

The box type double power fire pump is easy to install and does not need to build another pump room. The complete set of equipment leaves the factory with simple operation and reliable performance.

Fire pumps can be powered by various sources, including electricity, diesel engines, and, in some cases, natural gas. The selection of a power source depends on factors such as reliability, availability, and the specific requirements of the facility.

Electric fire pumps are commonly used in urban areas with a stable power supply. They are efficient and can start automatically in response to a fire alarm signal. In contrast, diesel-powered fire pumps are reliable in areas with inconsistent power availability, as they can function independently. The choice of power source should align with the facility’s operational conditions and the need for uninterrupted fire protection.

The DJ fire pump set consists of a pump connected to the diesel engine, jockey pump, pressure vessel, controller for manual or automatic operation of the system and standard accessories mounted on the base. The fire pump system can be customized for different uses, such as high-rise buildings, facilities, hospitals, supermarkets, shopping malls, villas, apartments, etc. This fire pump set can be used in fire hose and fire hose reel systems, fire sprinkler systems, fire water monitoring systems, fire alarm systems and fire hydrant systems.

Fire pumps are more expensive than ordinary water pumps because they must meet specific fire protection standards and are built to handle high temperature and pressure water. They also have additional features, such as larger motors, to rapidly provide the necessary flow rate to meet fire protection requirements.

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 the fire pump is regularly inspected and tested according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

2. Inspect all electrical components and wiring to ensure they are in good working order.

3. Ensure the fire pump is properly lubricated and any worn parts are replaced.

4. Check the suction and discharge valves for proper operation.

5. Inspect the motor and its bearings for signs of wear or damage.

6. Test the fire pump for pressure, flow, and suction.

7. Clean the fire pump, its components, and the surrounding area regularly.

8. Ensure any repairs or maintenance is done by a certified technician.
