Generally speaking, we recommend that where natural ventilation is used to install diesel engine fire pumps, there must be vents and exhaust ports of sufficient size, and the position of the vents ensures that there is enough fresh air to supply the diesel engine for combustion within the temperature limit. Of course, the water supply radiator can also be used to take away the heat of the circulating cooling water and the heat emitted from the surface of the unit. If the space cannot meet the requirements of natural ventilation and cannot effectively dissipate heat, it is recommended that you adopt forced ventilation, install an intake fan and an exhaust fan at the vent, and choose a location that can provide enough cold air for the diesel engine and take away the machine room hot air inside. Generally speaking, the air intake of the unit should be 6-7 times that of the diesel engine. Only in this way can normal ventilation be ensured and the operating efficiency of the equipment can be improved.

In addition, it must be fixed firmly so that the entire unit can be supported to ensure that the unit is in a horizontal state and absorb vibration. Generally speaking, the foundation of the unit adopts a concrete structure. The length and width are 150-250mm on one side of the length and width of the unit chassis, and the depth is 300-600mm. The height of the anchor bolts should be about twice the bolt diameter. And there should be a 750mm channel on both sides and front of the unit to facilitate the operator’s inspection and general maintenance.

The diesel engine fire pump is mainly used for ship emergency fire protection, and is also applicable to industrial and mining enterprises, port terminals, warehouse yards and other places.

Diesel engine fire pumps are mainly used in flood control and emergency municipal engineering, farmland irrigation, urban water supply and drainage, fire water supply, hydropower engineering, metallurgy, mining, petroleum, chemical and other industries, and play an important role in flood control and emergency conditions. A diesel engine fire pump is a machine that transports liquids or pressurizes liquids. It transmits the mechanical energy of the prime mover or other external energy to the liquid to increase the energy of the liquid. It is mainly used to transport liquids including water, oil, acid and alkali, emulsions, suspoemulsions and liquid metals, etc., and can also transport liquid and gas mixtures. and liquids containing suspended solids. The technical parameters to measure the performance of the pump include flow rate, suction lift, lift, shaft power, water power, efficiency, etc.; according to different working principles, it can be divided into positive displacement pumps, vane pumps and other types. Positive displacement pumps use the change in the volume of their working chambers to transfer energy; vane pumps use the interaction between rotating blades and water to transfer energy, and there are centrifugal pumps, axial flow pumps and mixed flow pumps.

Fire pump room installed with units should be as close as possible to the pool, the water intake pipeline of the water part should be as short as possible, and the elbows should be as few as possible to reduce the resistance of the water intake. And ensure that the unit space is spacious enough for the operation and maintenance of the unit.
