The difference between diesel fire pump and electric fire pump

Electric 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-fighting water. The electric 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 electric fire pump is aimed at various fire water environments, so the selection should also be based on the actual demand environment, performance parameters, etc.

First, what’s a water pump? It’s a device used to transport liquid, pressurize the liquid, and make the liquid from the first liquid position to the high liquid position. The first water pump constructed by the Chinese is called” water windmill”. latterly, around 300 BC, the emergence of the” Archimedes screw pump” is more analogous to ultramodern pumps. In addition, the following introductory knowledge points are what you must understand.
1. Centrifugal pump

Centrifugal pump is the most common type of pump. In simple terms, the working principle of centrifugal pump is to rotate the impeller to drive the liquid under the action of centrifugal force. The liquid leaves the impeller and enters the volute. As the inflow passage of the volute gradationally expands, the fluid haste slows down, and the pressure rises continuously, and eventually it’s discharged through the conduit.
2. Impeller
The impeller is one of the main factors in the water pump, and it’s the core element that transmits mechanical energy to the liquid. The impeller is substantially divided into three types open type,semi-open type and closed type. The material conditions for the impeller are high, wear resistance is needed, and the manufacturing process is good.

3. Cavitation

Cavitation is the conformation of numerous bitsy recesses when the liquid connections the liquid under high- speed inflow and pressure, and gradationally expands into grottoes when serious, and cavitation frequently occurs in the impeller and pump covering.

The fire pump has the characteristics of simple structure and stable performance, and because of its high speed and relatively small volume, its efficiency is really high. It is precisely because of these advantages of high performance and low energy that the safety and efficiency of the fire pump are in the same use Leading the pipeline tools.

Fire pump equipment has the characteristics of mature technology, high degree of automation, protection function, reasonable structure and easy installation. At the same time, in order to meet the different needs of users and reasonable investment, the products are divided into fire pump, industrial emergency pump, agricultural pump and other application series, can be linked with the electric fire pump switch use.

If you suspect a diesel engine fire pump is leaking, you should first shut off the fuel supply and ensure that the pump is properly cooled and lubricated. Next, check the pump for any visible signs of damage or wear and tear. If you find any, replace the affected part immediately. Additionally, inspect the fuel lines and fuel filters for any signs of corrosion or blockage. If needed, replace them. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician for assistance.

The electric fire pump is an important part of the fire water supply system. The electric fire pump consists of two parts, the motor and the pump. The pump and the motor are coaxial. The pump structure includes pump body, impeller, pump cover, mechanical seal and other components.
