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.

In the fire fighting pipeline pump, according to the different installation methods can be divided into vertical fire pumps and horizontal fire pumps, many people have questions about these two common pumps, what is the difference between the two? Shanghai Xizhiquan will explain the difference between horizontal and vertical pumps.

Obviously, different installation methods take up different space. Vertical pipeline pumps are installed vertically, covering a relatively small area, and vertical fire pumps do not require a foundation, while horizontal fire pumps need to be equipped with a base.

According to the different structures of the two pumps, it can be concluded that there is also a certain difference in the ease of maintenance of the two types of fire fighting pipeline pumps. The impeller of the vertical fire pump needs to be dismantled from top to bottom, which makes maintenance more difficult; the horizontal fire pump only needs to have the inlet pipe removed so that the impeller can be overhauled, which is relatively simple.

Due to the different inlet and outlet pipe directions, the pipeline connection between vertical and horizontal is also different. As the vertical pump is a bottom-up structure, while the horizontal fire pump is longitudinally arranged on the base, so the motor of the vertical pump and the pump body are connected in the form of sub-mouth connection, while the horizontal pump needs to use couplings to connect with the motor, and the horizontal pipeline pump needs to be corrected regularly.

At the moment when fire safety is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, diesel engine fire pumps are gradually replacing ordinary fire pumps, especially in manufacturing enterprises, with large flow water supply systems, excellent performance, and stable operation mode, they are the fire safety experts trusted by modern enterprises. However, the more expensive and high-tech products are, the more attention they need.

Yes, fire pumps in high-rise buildings must account for increased pressure requirements and vertical lift. Proper placement, redundancy, and access for maintenance are also critical in these applications.

Troubleshooting common issues with fire pumps involves systematic checks of components, electrical systems, and fluid dynamics. Regular maintenance and having a qualified technician perform diagnostic tests are essential.

The small EJ fire pump set is suitable for low buildings. The fire pump set consists of an ISW electric pump and a CDL jockey pump. The ISW pump is easy to install and maintain, no need to disassemble or move the piping system, just lift the pump to connect the flat nut to take out all the rotors part. The impeller is directly mounted on the main shaft of the motor, with a short axial dimension and a compact structure, which can calibrate the rounding of the pump to effectively generate radial and axial loads, thereby ensuring smooth operation, vibration and low noise of the pump.

A typical firefighting pump system consists of the pump itself, intake and discharge hoses, nozzles, strainers or filters to prevent debris from entering the pump, and sometimes additional accessories like foam injection systems for enhanced fire suppression capabilities.

Diesel engine fire pumps can form an automatic fire water supply system with electric pumps and jockey pumps. See the introduction of “Diesel Engine Control System” for its working process. The equipment can realize joint control with the fire center. The fire pump unit is combined with the fire pump through the high elastic coupling.

The system operates independently, ensuring its reliability even in challenging situations.

The diesel engine fire pump can form an automatic water fire water supply system with electric pumps and jockey pumps, and can be linked with the fire control center.
When the diesel engine fire pump set receives the starting command, if the mains power is cut off, the automatic control cabinet of the diesel engine will immediately send a start signal to the starting motor of the pump set, start the motor, start the diesel engine at idle speed, and then gradually adjust the throttle to accelerate the diesel engine until Rated speed. The control system will automatically monitor the operation of the diesel engine, such as the oil pressure, oil temperature, speed of the diesel engine, outlet pressure of the water pump, etc., and determine whether the diesel engine starts normally through automatic monitoring. If the start fails, the control system will send a restart signal, and if the three starts fail, the automatic control system will send a failure alarm. When the diesel engine fire pump set receives a signal that the pressure of the pipe network is restored or the mains power is restored to normal, the pump set will quickly slow down and stop automatically after monitoring the idle position for a period of time.

There are four types fire pump, including end suction pump, split case pump, multiage pump and vertical turbine pump. These fire pumps may bepowered by an electric motor or diesel engine and on rare occasion powered by a steam turbine.
