Fire pumps and jockey pumps work together to ensure that a fire protection system is always ready to operate at peak efficiency. The jockey pump is primarily responsible for maintaining the system’s normal pressure, compensating for minor leaks, and preventing the fire pump from running unnecessarily. When a fire occurs, and a significant drop in pressure is detected due to water discharge from sprinklers or hoses, the fire pump is activated to provide the necessary water flow and pressure. This interaction ensures that the system operates efficiently, minimizing wear and tear on the fire pump while keeping the system primed and ready for an emergency.

Diesel engine fire pumps are suitable for use in fire water supply environments with high head and high flow rate or as backup fire water supply pumps. The reason is that the diesel engine has strong power and can be used with large flow fire deep well pumps, and the diesel engine fire pumps have the characteristics of self-starting when power is off. Emergency water supply is available, so diesel engine fire pumps are favored.

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.

As the name suggests, fire pumps are used in fire protection. They are divided into different types according to different classification methods. They are fully sealed and leak-free. They are used in environmental protection, water treatment, fire protection and other departments to pump various liquids. They are created The ideal pumps for non-leakage, civilized workshops and civilized factories are similar to the pumps for fire protection systems, but the head and flow are different.

The full name of diesel engine fire pump is engineering diesel engine fire pump set, which can be automatically charged, automatically started, and has the functions of automatic alarm and automatic preheating. The diesel engine fire pump is usually used as a backup facility, so it will only start automatically when the fire signal comes, and when the electric water pump fails or the power supply is cut off. When it has a device for starting the pump at ultra-low pressure, its matching electric water pump control cabinet should also have a device for starting the pump at ultra-low pressure, and the lower limit of the two pumps should have a certain pressure difference.

Common Causes of Fire Pump Motor Failures:

Electrical Issues: Faulty wiring or power supply problems can lead to motor failure.
Overheating: Insufficient cooling or blocked ventilation can cause overheating.
Mechanical Failure: Worn bearings or misalignment can result in motor damage.
Lack of Maintenance: Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to premature failures.

There is a combination equipment that uses diesel as fuel for firefighting, but it is usually used as a backup firefighting facility, because it can only be started automatically when the firefighting signal comes, and the electric water pump fails or the power supply is cut off, that is, the diesel engine firefighting pump set. It is very different from the electric fire pump in that it has its own independent power supply and storage system.

EDJ fire pump set is composed of diesel engine pump + electric pump + vertical jockey pump. Diesel fire pumps are typically used where there are potential reliability issues with the local power grid, with available flows of 50-5000GPM.

The conventional electric pump is the main pump, the diesel engine pump is the backup pump, and the voltage stabilizer pump plays a role in the stabilization of the whole system. When the electric pump fails or the mains is cut off, the control cabinet will receive the pressure gauge from the electric contact. When the signal comes, the diesel engine pump will be started within 5 seconds, and the rated working condition will be reached within 20 seconds to ensure the normal operation of the fire extinguishing work.
