Fire pump systems are comprised of various components, each playing a critical role in ensuring their proper function. Some of the key components include:

Fire Pump: This is the heart of the system, responsible for pressurizing the water and sending it to the fire protection devices.

Controllers: Controllers monitor the system, automatically starting the pump in response to a fire alarm signal and providing system status information.

Suction and Discharge Piping: Properly designed piping is essential for efficient water flow. Suction piping brings water to the pump, while discharge piping carries it to the fire protection devices.

Pressure Relief Valves: These safety valves release excess pressure to prevent damage to the system.

Valves: Various valves control water flow within the system, allowing for isolation, testing, and maintenance.

These components work in concert to provide reliable water distribution in case of a fire.

Prior to installation, fire sprinkler systems are hydraulically calculated to ensure adequate water flow and that the system can reliably suppress a fire until fire crews arrive. When it is determined that there is insufficient flow from a municipal supply for the system to function properly, a fire pump is installed. The fire pump activates when the sprinkler system pressure falls below a certain threshold as a result of sprinkler head operation. To maintain the required operating pressure of the sprinkler system, the fire pump draws additional water from the municipal water supply or on-site storage tanks. Due to the size of piping systems and pressure loss, fire pumps are frequently required in high rise construction and large area buildings.
