How do fire pumps work?

Fire sprinkler systems are hydraulically calculated prior to installation to determine adequate water flow and in order to ensure the system can reliably suppress a fire until fire crews arrive. When it’s determined inadequate flow is available from a municipal supply for the system to operate effectively, a fire pump is installed. The fire pump operates when the sprinkler system pressure drops below a certain threshold, due to the operation of sprinkler heads. The fire pump draws additional water from the municipal water supply or on site storage tanks, to maintain the sprinkler systems required operating pressure. Fire pumps are often required in high rise construction and large area buildings, due to the size of piping systems and pressure loss.

Fire fighting pumps are one of the many examples of the uses of water pumps . Fire fighting pumps can be used in rural areas where it may be quicker for a homeowner to put out a fire than to wait for the nearest fire station crew to get to the scene. These pumps are therefore lifesavers and property savers. Because fire fighting pumps may need to be used anywhere within a relatively large swath of land, they need to be portable and easy to carry. For this reason, fire fighting pumps are often petrol water pumps. Petrol water pumps run off of petrol rather than electricity or diesel, the two other kinds of water pumps commonly used. Water will be taken by the pump from a source like a natural body of water or artificial water sources like a tank or pool and transferred to the fire for dousing.

    There are many types of fire-fighting equipment, fire hydrants and fire extinguishers are a common category, and there is also a category of fire pumps, which can be described as the heart of the fire-fighting system and play an important role in pressurising the water supply for the fire-fighting system. Among the many fire pump products, fire pumps can be divided into multi-stage and single-stage fire pumps.

    Multi-stage pumps have high efficiency, corrosion resistance, reliable operation and other properties, strong bearing capacity of the pump body, strong resistance to overload and more sensitive start. Ltd. introduces you to the relevant features of multi-stage pumps. First of all, Shanghai Xizhiquan multi-stage pumps have a compact structure, with small spacing between parts and small volume. The equipment runs smoothly, has a long service life and produces less vibration during operation, so the practical life of the equipment is correspondingly long.

    With its unique structure, the direction of the water inlet and outlet can be adjusted according to different needs, so it is suitable for various place environments. The direction of the inlet and outlet is horizontal, which reduces the number of bends in the pipeline connection, thus simplifying the pipeline connection and greatly enhancing the efficiency of the fire fighting system.

    The efficient operation of the multistage pump is used in many larger, more demanding fire-fighting locations. Its role is mainly to play a role in the fire fighting pipeline system to pressurise and send water, multi-stage pumps are not only suitable for all kinds of fire fighting systems, but also for industrial drainage, high-rise building water pressure supply, long-distance water delivery, water circulation pressure and other occasions.
