Jockey pumps help extend the lifespan of fire pumps by maintaining system pressure and preventing unnecessary cycling of the main fire pump. By handling minor pressure fluctuations and small leaks, jockey pumps reduce the wear and tear on fire pumps, which would otherwise start and stop frequently to maintain pressure. This reduced cycling minimizes mechanical stress on the fire pump’s components, such as bearings, seals, and impellers, thereby prolonging its operational life. Additionally, jockey pumps consume less power and operate more quietly than fire pumps, leading to energy savings and reduced noise pollution in facilities. By ensuring that fire pumps only operate during actual emergencies, jockey pumps contribute to the long-term reliability and efficiency of the fire protection system.

In modern fire protection systems, rapid response to fire incidents is crucial for safeguarding life and property. The Pressure Stabilization and Dual-Function Pump System integrates powerful pressure regulation with dual power sources to ensure that the fire protection system quickly responds and maintains a continuous, stable water supply during emergencies.

This pump system is designed with two power sources—an electric motor and a diesel engine. When the primary power source fails, the diesel engine automatically starts, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the fire protection system even during power outages. Its pressure stabilization system automatically adjusts pressure during operation, ensuring stable water flow for fire suppression and preventing water interruptions due to insufficient or fluctuating pressure, ultimately improving firefighting efficiency.

The intelligent control system further enhances the efficiency of the pump system, allowing users to monitor the system’s status in real-time through a touch panel. The system is easy to operate, and any malfunction is quickly detected and alarms are triggered, activating backup systems to effectively prevent emergency issues caused by system failure.

This pump unit is ideal for applications in high-rise buildings, industrial zones, storage facilities, and other locations with high reliability requirements for fire protection, ensuring that the fire pump can be immediately activated and continue to supply water in any emergency.

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. The fire pumps we commonly use 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 position of the electric fire pump.

Diesel engine fire pump sets are mainly suitable for fire water supply systems in petrochemical, natural gas, power generation, cotton and linen textiles, warehouses, airports, docks, high-rise buildings and other industries. It can also be used in occasions such as water ships, offshore oil tankers and fire fighting ships. The unit adopts imported diesel engine and fire pump. It has the characteristics of quick start, reliable water diversion, reasonable power reserve, stable operation, wide range of pressure and flow, etc. It is an advanced and reliable fire-fighting equipment.

Multi stage pump refers to a pump with two or more impellers, which can absorb and press water in stages and stages, so as to lift the water to a very high position. The lift can increase or decrease the number of stages of pump impellers according to needs; When the single-stage pump head needs to be equipped with two-stage motors, the multi-stage pump can be equipped with four-stage motors by increasing the number of impellers, which can improve the service life of the pump and reduce the noise of the unit. When the actual required lift of the pump is less than 125 meters, the selection of a single-stage pump or a multi-stage pump can be comprehensively considered according to the area of the pump room, the pump price (the price of a multi-stage pump is generally higher than that of a single-stage pump) and other factors.
