Dual Pump System: How Does It Provide More Efficient Fire Protection?

Diesel engine fire pump sets provide independent drive and continuous water supply for large industrial facilities. They have the advantages of fast start-up, high water pressure output, adaptability to harsh environments and intelligent control, ensuring safe and stable operation of fire emergency and production.

Fire pump package comprises a combination of electric motor driven pump, diesel engine driven and electric motor driven jockey pumps that supply for fire suppression systems.
Fire pump package is required to comply with Local Civil Defense Authority regulations and International Codes of Practice e.g. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

There are many applications for fire pumps. Different motors are selected according to the flow rate and head size. The commonly used motors include electric motors and diesel engines, and domestic and foreign brands can match the application. The fire pump can choose vertical or horizontal structure according to the pipeline requirements, and the head size is also different. Finding a professional pump factory or company can reduce the probability of wrong selection, and at the same time take into account the on-site installation requirements and pipeline design.

1. Diesel pump: the flow rate is the same as that of the electric pump. It connects pump sets with highly elastic couplings or universal joints.
2. jockey pump: vertical, small flow, higher lift than electric or diesel pumps.
3. Control panel: Automatically control the water pump with overload and overcurrent protection.
4. Accessories: suction pipe, discharge pipe with flange, battery, gate valve, check valve, flexible expansion joint, pressure switch, pressure gauge, base, etc.

Firefighting pumps are critical assets in disaster response and emergency management scenarios, where rapid and effective fire suppression is essential for protecting lives and property. These pumps can be deployed in various emergency situations, including natural disasters like wildfires, earthquakes, and floods, as well as human-made disasters such as industrial accidents or terrorist attacks.

All places need to be equipped with fire-fighting facilities, and fire pumps are necessary water intake equipment for fire-fighting facilities. At least one or two fire pumps are equipped. Our commonly used fire pumps are electric fire pumps and diesel engine fire pumps. The difference between the two is The electric fire pump needs to be supplied by the power system. If the power is cut off, the diesel engine fire pump can be started at any time to make up for the original electric fire pump.

The diesel engine-driven independent power fire pump unit has the advantages of strong power, power outage availability, automatic control, high head and large flow.

1. When the pipeline fire pump noise occurs, the most likely fault is the imbalance of the fire pump rotor. Since the water output of the fire pump mainly depends on the high-speed rotation of the rotor, when the rotor is unbalanced for some reason, it will cause the fire pump to deviate from the original rotation track during the rotation process, resulting in the fire pump appearing in the pipeline. When judging the failure of the rotor, it is mainly to replace the rotor of the pump or make a balance hole on the rotor blade of the pump to find out the balance difference.

2. The production noise of the fire pump pipeline has a certain effect. For example, forcing a small flow of a pipe “fire pump” to increase power to increase the original flow will create vibrations in the fire pump. Therefore, whether you use a pipeline fire pump or other types of water pumps, you should follow the water pump use standards to prevent the water pump from making noise, which will affect the service life of the water pump. The solution is to use the pump according to the instructions. If the efficiency of use is affected, it is recommended to replace the appropriate pipeline “fire pump” for use.

3. The installation did not meet the standards, resulting in abnormal noise from the pipeline fire pump. Fire pumps and fire hydrant pumps vibrate at a high frequency during operation, so they must be fixed during installation. If the bolt between the pump body and the base or between the base and the base is loose when installing the pipe fire pump, the transmission shaft between the pump body and the motor of the pipe pump will be bent. It lowered the concentricity and caused an imbalance in the fire pump rotor. This is one of the noise phenomena of fire pumps. In order to improve this phenomenon, the pump shaft of the fire pump needs to be balanced and then reinstalled. Finally, the base of the pump was reinforced.

4. Blockage of the impeller passage can also cause fire pump noise. When the internal flow channel of the fire pump is blocked by foreign matter, it will cause uneven resistance of the fire pump impeller and vibrate the fire pump. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly disassemble and maintain the fire pump to prevent foreign matter from blocking the pipeline.

5. The bearing of the fire pump is damaged. Bearing damage generally does not occur on the main body of an in-line fire pump. If there is a problem with the quality of the pump, or because some hard objects enter the pump body of the tube pump, the bearing is damaged, and the rotor is unstable at first. Causes noise from pipeline fire pumps.

6. Finally, cavitation, cavitation occurs in any type of pump, but some are obviously not noticeable. If cavitation occurs, consider raising the fire pump or increasing the pressure in the piping. If the cavitation phenomenon cannot be changed, the fire pump model needs to be redesigned and replaced.
