Working Principle of Fire Pump

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.
