Fire pump maintenance essential skills

1. Knowledge of Fire Pump Design and Components: Fire pumps are complex pieces of machinery, and technicians must be familiar with its components, including the electric motor, reservoir, impeller, and check valves.

2. Electrical Troubleshooting: Electric motor control centers, circuit breakers, and other electrical components must be understood by technicians in order to properly maintain fire pumps.

3. Instructions for Proper Maintenance: Technicians must be able to read and understand manufacturer’s instructions for inspection and required maintenance, such as oil and filter changes.

4. Record Keeping: Accurate records of maintenance must be kept in order to ensure that fire pumps are in peak working condition.

5. Diagnose and Repair of Pump Malfunctions: Technicians must have the ability to diagnose and fix common pump problems such as bearing wear, corrosion, and bearing failure.

6. Troubleshoot Accessories and Peripherals: Technicians should be familiar with fire pump accessories such as pressure switches, gauges, and houseline piping.

7. Handle Power Sources: Technicians must have the knowledge to recognize safe levels of power sources, such as AC or DC, to ensure fire pump operations.

8. Pressure Testing: Technicians must understand and follow safety procedures when pressure testing fire pumps and their related houselines.

    Electronic Components: The main electric components is CHNT, if Schneider or other brand electrical are need, should mention it before place the order.
    Safety Valve plays a safety protection role in the system. When the system pressure exceeds the prescribed value, the safety valve opens, and a part of the gas/fluid in the system is discharged into the atmosphere/pipeline, so that the system pressure does not exceed the allowable value, so as to ensure that the system does not cause accidents due to excessive pressure.
    Pressure Tank: Water is a non-compressible medium. Generally speaking, the pressure drop of fire-fighting pipe network is normal. However, the pressure drop is very slow, the total loss of water in the pipe network isnot large, and the frequent change of pressure in the pipe network leads to frequent start-up and shutdown of pumps. Especially when the power of equipment is high, it will cause great impact on pressure sensors, relaysand motors, thus affecting the performance and life whole equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right volume of the pressure tank.
