fire pump system

1. Ability to provide a steady and reliable flow of water: Fire pumps are designed to provide a steady and reliable flow of water to the fire suppression system. This ensures that the fire is extinguished quickly and without any damage to the property.

2. High-Pressure Output: Fire pumps can provide a high-pressure output to ensure that the water is able to reach further distances and at higher pressures than would be achievable by a standard water system. This is important in controlling and extinguishing fires, as it allows the water to reach all areas of the fire.

3. Emergency Operation: Fire pumps are designed to be able to operate in the event of a power outage. This ensures that the fire suppression system can still be operational in the event of a power failure. This is especially important in commercial buildings and other areas where power outages can occur.

4. Automatic Activation: Fire pumps are designed to automatically activate in the event of a fire. This ensures that the fire suppression system can be activated quickly and without any manual intervention. This is especially important in the event of a large fire, as it ensures that the system is already in operation before the fire department arrives.

5. Low Maintenance: Fire pumps are designed to be low maintenance, requiring only regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that they are working correctly. This ensures that the fire suppression system is always ready for use and that it can be relied upon in the event of a fire.

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.

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.
