Fire pumps are a type of pump used in fire fighting. Compared to ordinary pumps, fire pumps have higher standards and requirements in terms of sealing, corrosion resistance and operational efficiency. Before running the fire pump equipment, we need to discharge the gas inside the pump, do you know what is the significance of doing so? The following is the answer from Shanghai Xizhiquan.

1. If there is gas inside the fire pump, then the equipment cannot form a sufficient vacuum during operation, resulting in the liquid not being able to be sucked up. This phenomenon is called gas binding, and is a phenomenon that often results from many operators not understanding this operation.
2, understand the formation of gas binding causes, we will understand how to avoid this problem occurs. Before the fire pump equipment is started, the pump casing needs to be filled with liquid. In the pump suction pipe mouth need to be equipped with a non-return valve, can effectively avoid the pump in the liquid due to gravity into the low tank, if the pump position is low, there is no need to carry out filling the pump.
3. The compressed gas inside the fire pump will occupy a certain space in the fire pump, making it impossible to seal it.

Therefore, the operation of deflating the fire pump before putting it into use can increase the vacuum of the equipment and increase the pumping capacity of the pump, thus effectively improving the efficiency of the equipment and reducing the waste of resources.

In the fire fighting pipeline pump, according to the different installation methods can be divided into vertical fire pumps and horizontal fire pumps, many people have questions about these two common pumps, what is the difference between the two? Shanghai Xizhiquan will explain the difference between horizontal and vertical pumps.

Obviously, different installation methods take up different space. Vertical pipeline pumps are installed vertically, covering a relatively small area, and vertical fire pumps do not require a foundation, while horizontal fire pumps need to be equipped with a base.

According to the different structures of the two pumps, it can be concluded that there is also a certain difference in the ease of maintenance of the two types of fire fighting pipeline pumps. The impeller of the vertical fire pump needs to be dismantled from top to bottom, which makes maintenance more difficult; the horizontal fire pump only needs to have the inlet pipe removed so that the impeller can be overhauled, which is relatively simple.

Due to the different inlet and outlet pipe directions, the pipeline connection between vertical and horizontal is also different. As the vertical pump is a bottom-up structure, while the horizontal fire pump is longitudinally arranged on the base, so the motor of the vertical pump and the pump body are connected in the form of sub-mouth connection, while the horizontal pump needs to use couplings to connect with the motor, and the horizontal pipeline pump needs to be corrected regularly.

Diesel engine fire pumps are often used for emergency water supply in high-rise buildings, water companies, steel plants, wineries, chemical plants, hotels, hospitals, and other large-scale projects. The diesel emergency water supply pump set is suitable for unattended emergency water supply systems. The product has the characteristics of high automation, superior performance, complete protection functions, reasonable structure, simple installation, and high cost performance. When the factory suddenly loses power, the diesel emergency water supply pump set automatically starts to replenish pipe network pressure.

Electric fire pumps are mainly used for pressurized water supply for fire protection systems, and can also be used for drainage of factories and mines. Mainly used in industrial and mining enterprises, engineering construction, high-rise buildings and residential area fire hydrant water supply system, automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing water supply system.

The biggest difference between a diesel engine fire pump and an electric water pump is that it has its own independent power supply system—the battery. Therefore, the start-up and operation of the diesel engine fire pump can be completely separated from the mains.

The diesel engine fire pump is usually used as a backup facility, and it will only start automatically when the electric water pump fails or the power is cut off when the fire signal comes. When equipped with an ultra-low pressure pump starting device, the matching electric pump control cabinet should also be equipped with an ultra-low pressure pump starting device, and the lower limit of pump starting should have a certain pressure difference. Of course, it is also possible to design a control system that is more suitable for customer needs according to customer requirements.

1. The weight of the pipeline should not be borne on the pump, otherwise the pump will be easily damaged.

　　2. The pump and motor are of integral structure. The pump and the motor are an integral structure. It is calibrated by the manufacturer at the time of shipment, so there is no need to adjust the contract when installing it. This makes installation very easy.

　　3. The foot bolt must be tightened during installation. The pump should be inspected at regular intervals to prevent it from loosening. To prevent the pump from vibrating violently when starting up and affecting the performance of the pump.

　　4. Before installing the pump, check carefully whether there are any hard objects (such as stones, iron sand, etc.) in the flow channel of the pump that may affect the operation of the pump, so as to avoid damaging the overflow parts when the pump is in operation.

　　5. For easy maintenance and safety in use. Install a regulating valve on the pump’s throttle and a pressure gauge near the pump’s throttle, and for high head pumps. To prevent water hammer. A check valve should also be installed in front of the outlet gate valve to cope with sudden power failure and other loss of power accidents, thus ensuring that the pump operates under suitable working conditions and increasing the service life of the pump.

　　6. The pump is used in suction range situations. It should be equipped with a bottom valve, and the pipeline should not have too many bends in the mouth of the flume, and there should be no water leakage or air leakage in the same inch. To avoid affecting the suction performance of the pump.

　　7, in order not to make impurities burst into the pump and block the flow channel to affect the performance. A filter should be installed in front of the pump’s flume.

　　8, the installation of pipeline bary for the rotation of the pump rotor parts, should be no grinding sound or jamming phenomenon, otherwise the pump should be disassembled to check the reasons.

1, Vertical fire pump, multi-stage sectional structure. The pump inlet and outlet flanges are in the same straight line, the impeller is hydrodynamically balanced, axial force, a guide bearing at the lower end of the pump. The shaft is fixed to the motor shaft by means of a clamping coupling. The outer cylinder is a stainless steel cylinder.

　　2, The shaft seal is mechanically sealed.

　　3, The pump is driven by the motor and rotates in a clockwise direction when viewed from the motor end.

　　4, The pump outlet is equipped with an exhaust valve (air nozzle), which can ensure that the gas in the pump can be completely exhausted.

　　5, The impeller can be made of bronze. Avoid rusting between the impeller and the guide vane after long-term shutdown.

A multistage pump is a multistage centrifugal pump in which two or more impellers are installed on the pump shaft and connected in series to work together. A horizontal multistage centrifugal pump refers to a multistage pump in which centrifugal pumps with two or more impellers are combined. The multistage centrifugal pump is characterized by high efficiency and energy saving, wide range of use, special purpose, stable operation, long service life, convenient installation and maintenance, etc.

Fire pumps are water intake equipment for fire facilities. At least one or two fire pumps are equipped. Our commonly used fire pumps are electric fire pumps and diesel engine fire pumps. The difference between them is that electric fire pumps require power system supply. In the event of a power failure, the diesel engine fire pump can start at any time to compensate for the original position of the electric fire pump.

The fire pump is mainly used to deliver water in the fire system. As an indispensable tool for the fire system, the fire pump has the characteristics of simple structure and stable performance. Due to these advantages of high performance and low energy consumption, the safety and efficiency of the fire pump are far ahead of the pipeline tools of the same purpose.

The application of fire pumps is not only in fire protection systems, but a variety of fire pumps are gradually showing their superior strength in industrial production and urban construction. This includes the implementation and expansion of high-end technologies for industrial and urban water supply and drainage, and high-rise water supply under pressure.

In production and life, fire pumps have the characteristics of a wide range of applications, such as in water treatment, fire safety and other departments. Fire pumps can not only be used in fire protection systems, multi-stage fire pumps can also be used in industrial production and urban construction, including industrial and urban water supply and drainage, and pumping water for high-rise buildings. Engineering fire pumps are used for fire pumps in engineering sites such as fire hydrant systems, water sprinkler fire extinguishing systems, and foam fire extinguishing systems.

The dual power fire pump is composed of a fire water pump, a double shaft extension motor and a diesel engine. One end of the output shaft of the double shaft extension motor is connected to the input shaft of the fire pump, and the other end of the output shaft of the double shaft extension motor is One end of a clutch is connected, and the other end of the clutch is connected with the output shaft of the diesel engine. The fire water pump, the double-shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are all fixed on the base. The double shaft extension motor, the clutch and the diesel engine are respectively electrically connected with a control circuit through an action driving circuit. With dual-power fire pumps, there is no need to configure a second fire pump, which reduces floor space and saves manufacturing costs.

Answer: First of all, we must understand the relationship between pressure and lift: pressure = liquid density * g * lift (g = 0.981). In fact, the fire water pump can not only transport water, as long as the physical and chemical characteristics and water liquid are fine, but most of them transport water in daily life. The density of water is 1 ton per cubic meter. It can be obtained from the above formula : Pressure=1000*0.981*lift, pressure=0.981*lift, at this time the pressure and lift are almost the same, so whether we refer to lift or pressure, it can basically be regarded as a parameter.

1. When the pipeline fire pump noise occurs, the most likely fault is the imbalance of the fire pump rotor. Since the water output of the fire pump mainly depends on the high-speed rotation of the rotor, when the rotor is unbalanced for some reason, it will cause the fire pump to deviate from the original rotation track during the rotation process, resulting in the fire pump appearing in the pipeline. When judging the failure of the rotor, it is mainly to replace the rotor of the pump or make a balance hole on the rotor blade of the pump to find out the balance difference.

2. The production noise of the fire pump pipeline has a certain effect. For example, forcing a small flow of a pipe “fire pump” to increase power to increase the original flow will create vibrations in the fire pump. Therefore, whether you use a pipeline fire pump or other types of water pumps, you should follow the water pump use standards to prevent the water pump from making noise, which will affect the service life of the water pump. The solution is to use the pump according to the instructions. If the efficiency of use is affected, it is recommended to replace the appropriate pipeline “fire pump” for use.

3. The installation did not meet the standards, resulting in abnormal noise from the pipeline fire pump. Fire pumps and fire hydrant pumps vibrate at a high frequency during operation, so they must be fixed during installation. If the bolt between the pump body and the base or between the base and the base is loose when installing the pipe fire pump, the transmission shaft between the pump body and the motor of the pipe pump will be bent. It lowered the concentricity and caused an imbalance in the fire pump rotor. This is one of the noise phenomena of fire pumps. In order to improve this phenomenon, the pump shaft of the fire pump needs to be balanced and then reinstalled. Finally, the base of the pump was reinforced.

4. Blockage of the impeller passage can also cause fire pump noise. When the internal flow channel of the fire pump is blocked by foreign matter, it will cause uneven resistance of the fire pump impeller and vibrate the fire pump. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly disassemble and maintain the fire pump to prevent foreign matter from blocking the pipeline.

5. The bearing of the fire pump is damaged. Bearing damage generally does not occur on the main body of an in-line fire pump. If there is a problem with the quality of the pump, or because some hard objects enter the pump body of the tube pump, the bearing is damaged, and the rotor is unstable at first. Causes noise from pipeline fire pumps.

6. Finally, cavitation, cavitation occurs in any type of pump, but some are obviously not noticeable. If cavitation occurs, consider raising the fire pump or increasing the pressure in the piping. If the cavitation phenomenon cannot be changed, the fire pump model needs to be redesigned and replaced.

1. Water filling treatment Before selecting the power-on power, make sure that the fire pump should be filled with water when it is turned off, and the suction should be increased to make the pressure difference larger and quickly clean up some acid-base reagents and other pollutants. Make sure to fill the water well.

2. Selection of electrified power The horsepower of the fire pump will be selected according to the size of the pump. Before electrifying the pump, carefully check the electrical power. Once the power is not grasped accurately, it is easy to cause insufficient suction. Therefore, in order to make it have sufficient suction, the power should be selected reasonably. If there is no electricity, the fire pump cannot be started, let alone used. But does it mean that the pump can be used as long as there is electricity? Not necessarily, the pump can only be used if the electrified power is reasonable and the voltage is within the normal range.

First of all, check whether the oil level is normal and cannot reach the oil mark line on the normal surface. If it is not, we must replenish it in time, but remember one thing, it cannot exceed the amount of the oil quantity indicator line.

Secondly, check the radiator. The water is appropriate. If it is not added in time, the water that needs to be added must be clean water, as long as it is clean water, or tap water is fine. Why not use groundwater, because impurities in groundwater can easily form scales in the water tank, which affects the cooling effect and is also prone to failure. In winter, we drive to preheat the car, add coolant to the car, and the fire pump is no exception. The weather in the north is very cold, so add the coolant to the fire pump according to the actual temperature.

Finally, check the installation of each part of the fire pump, such as whether they are stable, the connection between the screw and the screw, if there is any looseness, tighten the screw in time. To clean the fire pump, soak a canvas or dry cloth and wipe slowly on the body or on surfaces made of grease or dust.

The electric motor fire pump is an important water supply equipment in the fire protection system. The electric motor fire pump has a wide range of head, flow and power, and can be used in many environments. Providing sufficient water supply is the key to ensure emergency use.

Electric motor fire pumps are used in various water environments, not only to meet the general water supply but also to be a good helper for fire water. The electric motor fire pump is manufactured with good structure and workmanship. It has a wide range of performance, and is easy to use and operate for a long time. The motor fire pump is aimed at various fire water environments, so the selection should also be based on the actual demand environment, performance parameters, etc.

A small leakage of the centrifugal fire pump will generally not cause an accident, but it will affect the supply efficiency of fire fighting water or foam. Therefore, the fire pump with packing seal should be used to strengthen the inspection of sealing packing;

If it is found that the seal is not tight, the packing should be replaced in time to prevent the fire pump from leaking during operation and affecting its performance.

The fire pump should be installed firmly, and its firmness should be checked regularly, especially the anchor bolts or backrest bolts, to prevent the fasteners from loosening;

Strengthen monitoring by monitoring the vibration waveform of the pump during operation, regularly check and repair the wear between the impeller and the sealing ring, and discover and eliminate hidden dangers in time; when the vibration of the pump is found to be abnormal after starting, it should be decisively analyzed for cavitation phenomenon, whether the impeller is balanced, whether the pump shaft and the motor shaft are concentric or whether the shaft has been deformed, and then take corresponding measures.

Correctly select the supporting motor that matches the performance parameters of the pump to prevent the motor from being too small and overloaded for a long time; before starting the pump, check whether the outlet valve is fully closed to prevent the motor from being burned due to excessive starting current; The technical parameters of the motor require maintenance, check the power supply voltage and the current of each phase, and ensure that the error is within the allowable range.

Control and adjust the installation height of the pump so that the installation height between the suction port of the pump and the liquid surface does not exceed the maximum allowable installation height, especially for mobile fire pumps, if they cannot absorb and discharge liquid normally, the installation height may be inappropriate. It can be solved by reducing the installation height or reverse installation;

Or add a small-capacity storage tank in front of the pump to increase the height of the liquid level and increase the static pressure, thereby shortening the distance between the liquid level of the suction storage tank and the suction port of the pump to prevent cavitation;

It can also prevent cavitation by reducing the flow resistance loss on the pump suction line. Shorten the length of the suction pipeline as far as possible within the allowable range, reduce the number of pipe fittings such as elbows and valves, and appropriately increase the diameter of the suction pipeline;

By improving the strength and abrasion resistance of the pump material, it can also effectively reduce the erosion of the pump caused by cavitation, so as to reduce the damage caused by cavitation to the pump and prolong its service life. In the selection of the impeller, it is possible to choose high hardness and high elasticity materials with strong cavitation resistance.

Centrifugal fire pumps need to be manually filled with liquid before starting to clear the air accumulated in the pump casing. When filling the pump, ensure that the bottom valve of the suction line is well closed; For fire pumps, it is necessary to ensure that the automatic filling pump system works normally; regularly check the tightness of the suction pipeline to prevent the air from being sucked in due to poor sealing, and to avoid air binding during the operation of the pump and affect the work.

The fire-fighting water provided by most fire-fighting water sources needs to be pressurized by fire-fighting water pumps to meet the requirements for water pressure and water volume during fire-fighting, which is an important part of fire-fighting. In daily use, we often encounter fire pumps vibrating or making abnormal noises. What is the problem?
1. The installation is not firm and the fasteners are loos

2. Wear between impeller and seal ring

3. Improper installation of pump body and pump shaft

4. Cavitation causes abnormal sound inside the pump
