Uses and advantages of diesel engine fire pumps

The dual-power fire pump is driven by a diesel engine. When the power grid cannot meet the requirements, the diesel engine can be used to drive the water pump to ensure that the unit can reach the running state.

The EJ (Electric pump + Jockey pump) Dual Power Fire Pump System is an innovative and reliable fire protection solution. Combining an electric pump for robust water pressure and flow with a top-quality jockey pump for stable pressure maintenance, this system ensures efficient and timely water supply during fires. With advanced automation, remote monitoring, and energy-saving features, the EJ Dual Power Fire Pump System is a trusted choice for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

Safety measures include regular training for personnel, ensuring proper ventilation in pump rooms, and following manufacturer guidelines for maintenance and operation.

XBD series fire pump set is mainly used for fire hydrant fire extinguishing system, automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing system, etc. in fixed fire fighting systems of various enterprises and institutions, engineering construction, high-rise buildings, etc. The chemical properties are similar to the medium of water, and it can also be used for fire protection, living, production, public water supply systems and buildings, municipal water supply and drainage, etc.

Single-stage fire pumps have only one impeller, and multistage fire pumps can have two or more impellers. Because the pump core in them is different, the structure is different. The impeller of the multi-stage pump is more than that of the single-stage pump, which can achieve a larger head at the same flow rate. The multi-stage pump is the sum of the single-stage pumps, and the head and outlet pressure can be made very high.

ZJBetter provide three types of fire pump system, such as diesel engine fire pump set, electric driven fire pump set, EDJ fire pump set.

1. Electric fire pump: various end suction pumps and split pumps.
2. jockey pump: vertical, small flow, higher lift than electric or diesel pumps.
3. Control panel: Automatically control the water pump with overload and overcurrent protection.
4. Accessories: suction pipe, discharge pipe with flange, battery, gate valve, check valve, flexible expansion joint, pressure switch, pressure gauge, base, etc.

Diesel engine fire pump is a kind of fire-fighting equipment that we often see and use in our life. The diesel engine fire pump has the characteristics of good starting performance, strong overload capacity, compact internal structure, convenient maintenance, simple operation and high degree of automation. It is a very reliable fire fighting equipment.

The diesel engine fire pump set has the characteristics of good starting performance, strong load capacity, compact and effective structure, convenient maintenance, simple and reliable use, etc. The generator set has maintenance functions such as speed limit, low oil level, repeated failed starts, high temperature, low oil level, and low battery voltage. At the same time, it can be connected with the customer’s automatic fire alarm system or the centralized control cabinet of fire-fighting facilities to establish a real-time monitoring function.

The Fire Pressure Stabilization Equipment, coupled with the CDL Vertical Multistage Fire Pump, offers a comprehensive solution to elevate fire safety measures. This powerful combination ensures a consistent water pressure for effective fire suppression. By incorporating pressure stabilization technology, this system guarantees an uninterrupted fire water supply, efficient water distribution, and reliable operation of fire hydrants and sprinkler systems. With advanced infrastructure and the ability to maximize firefighting capabilities, this configuration significantly enhances overall fire safety standards. Investing in fire pressure stabilization equipment is a proactive step towards ensuring superior fire protection and providing peace of mind in critical situations.

Diesel engine fire pump, as a fixed fire extinguishing equipment, has been widely used in fire diversion, especially in the case of no power supply or abnormal power supply and other emergencies, other diesel engines can also be equipped as power engines according to the needs of users.​​

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.

The biggest difference between the diesel engine fire pump and the electric water pump is that it has its own independent power supply system – the storage battery. Therefore, the start and operation of the diesel engine fire pump will not be completely dependent on city power.

The EDJ fire pump group is composed of electric pump + diesel pump + jockey pump. The three pumps are automatically started and stopped. When the stabilized pump detects that the electric pump cannot operate normally, the diesel engine pump will start automatically. Can also be used, the fire pump set is widely used in various emergency firefighting occasions.

Fire pumps are not always running; they typically start automatically when a drop in water pressure is detected in the fire protection system.

After receiving the fire/pipe network pressure/power failure/other start signals, the diesel engine fire pump can automatically start and enter full load operation within 5 seconds. The battery can be automatically charged by the main power supply or the diesel charging motor to ensure the smooth start of the equipment; automatic alarm protection for low oil pressure, high water temperature and other faults of the diesel engine, overspeed alarm and shutdown; the diesel engine fire pump is in a hot engine standby state to ensure emergency work. The diesel engine fire pump adopts the direct connection technology between the diesel engine and the water pump. Through the elastic coupling, the failure points are reduced, the start-up time of the unit is greatly shortened, and the reliability and emergency performance of the unit are improved.

The fire pump set adopts ISW pump. ISW series horizontal single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump is a new generation of energy-saving and environmentally friendly horizontal centrifugal pump developed by our company by absorbing the advanced technology of similar foreign products and adopting the general performance parameters of domestic centrifugal pumps.

In addition, according to different operation temperatures and mediums, we developed the hot-water pump(ISWR), corrosion-resistant chemical pump(ISWH) and oil pump (ISWB). This pump enjoys excellent performance, good reliability, long operation life, reasonable construction and nice appearance, which is outstanding in the industry.

An anechoic check valve, control valve and pressure gauge should be installed on the discharge pipe of the fire pump; a pressure gauge and pressure switch should also be installed on the total discharge pipe of the system; a buffer device should be added when installing the pressure gauge. A cork should be installed between the pressure gauge and the buffer device; the pressure gauge range should be 2 times to 2.5 times the working pressure of the system when there is no design requirement.
