Fire sprinkler systems are hydraulically calculated prior to installation to determine adequate water flow and in order to ensure the system can reliably suppress a fire until fire crews arrive. When it’s determined inadequate flow is available from a municipal supply for the system to operate effectively, a fire pump is installed. The fire pump operates when the sprinkler system pressure drops below a certain threshold, due to the operation of sprinkler heads. The fire pump draws additional water from the municipal water supply or on site storage tanks, to maintain the sprinkler systems required operating pressure. Fire pumps are often required in high rise construction and large area buildings, due to the size of piping systems and pressure loss.

The fire pump is naturally used in the fire water system, and the technology and raw materials used are all required on site. There are many types of fire pumps and different performances. There may be overlapping performance ranges or large differences in performance. We need to consider the specific functions of the site, such as electric motor fire pumps or diesel engine fire pumps, vertical long-axis fire pumps or horizontal split double pumps. Suction fire pump, horizontal single-stage fire pump, etc., we should choose according to actual needs.

The fire pump’s pump casing should be regularly inspected for signs of corrosion, warping, and damage. The casing should also be visually inspected for leakage, and all fittings should be tested regularly to ensure they are properly sealed. All gaskets and seals should be checked for wear and replaced when needed. The impeller should be routinely checked to make sure it is free of debris and that all blades are in good condition. Any abnormal sound or vibration should be investigated immediately.

Testing Requirements:
Weekly Run Tests: Diesel pumps should be tested for 30 minutes weekly, and electric pumps should run for 10 minutes.
Annual Flow Tests: Measure pump performance at 100%, 150%, and churn conditions to verify proper operation.
Check Suction & Discharge Pressure: Ensure the pump meets its rated pressure at all test points.
Evaluate System Response Time: Confirm that the pump starts automatically when required.

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.

Diesel engine fire pumps can be widely used in environmental protection, water treatment and fire protection departments to transport various liquids by using their own advantages.

Optimized structure improves performance, intelligent integration simplifies maintenance – learn how high-efficiency diesel fire pumps operate stably in extreme environments and become the ideal choice for industrial and municipal fire protection systems.

1. When the pipeline fire pump noise occurs, the most likely fault is the imbalance of the fire pump rotor. Since the water output of the fire pump mainly depends on the high-speed rotation of the rotor, when the rotor is unbalanced for some reason, it will cause the fire pump to deviate from the original rotation track during the rotation process, resulting in the fire pump appearing in the pipeline. When judging the failure of the rotor, it is mainly to replace the rotor of the pump or make a balance hole on the rotor blade of the pump to find out the balance difference.

2. The production noise of the fire pump pipeline has a certain effect. For example, forcing a small flow of a pipe “fire pump” to increase power to increase the original flow will create vibrations in the fire pump. Therefore, whether you use a pipeline fire pump or other types of water pumps, you should follow the water pump use standards to prevent the water pump from making noise, which will affect the service life of the water pump. The solution is to use the pump according to the instructions. If the efficiency of use is affected, it is recommended to replace the appropriate pipeline “fire pump” for use.

3. The installation did not meet the standards, resulting in abnormal noise from the pipeline fire pump. Fire pumps and fire hydrant pumps vibrate at a high frequency during operation, so they must be fixed during installation. If the bolt between the pump body and the base or between the base and the base is loose when installing the pipe fire pump, the transmission shaft between the pump body and the motor of the pipe pump will be bent. It lowered the concentricity and caused an imbalance in the fire pump rotor. This is one of the noise phenomena of fire pumps. In order to improve this phenomenon, the pump shaft of the fire pump needs to be balanced and then reinstalled. Finally, the base of the pump was reinforced.

4. Blockage of the impeller passage can also cause fire pump noise. When the internal flow channel of the fire pump is blocked by foreign matter, it will cause uneven resistance of the fire pump impeller and vibrate the fire pump. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly disassemble and maintain the fire pump to prevent foreign matter from blocking the pipeline.

5. The bearing of the fire pump is damaged. Bearing damage generally does not occur on the main body of an in-line fire pump. If there is a problem with the quality of the pump, or because some hard objects enter the pump body of the tube pump, the bearing is damaged, and the rotor is unstable at first. Causes noise from pipeline fire pumps.

6. Finally, cavitation, cavitation occurs in any type of pump, but some are obviously not noticeable. If cavitation occurs, consider raising the fire pump or increasing the pressure in the piping. If the cavitation phenomenon cannot be changed, the fire pump model needs to be redesigned and replaced.
