Fire Pumps
Ensuring Reliable Water Supply for Fire Protection
What is a Fire Pump?
A fire pump is a critical component of a fire protection system, designed to provide adequate water pressure to fire sprinklers, standpipes, and hydrants in large buildings or areas where the municipal water supply is insufficient. Fire pumps ensure that water reaches all areas of a structure effectively, improving the system’s ability to suppress fires quickly.
Types of Fire Pumps
Different fire protection needs require specific types of fire pumps:
Electric Fire Pumps – Powered by electricity and commonly used in buildings with a reliable power supply.
Diesel Fire Pumps – Ideal for areas where electrical power may not be dependable, offering backup in case of outages.
Jockey Pumps – Small pumps that maintain system pressure and prevent unnecessary activation of the main fire pump.
Vertical Turbine Pumps – Used when water is sourced from reservoirs, lakes, or underground tanks.
Split-Case Fire Pumps – High-capacity pumps known for their efficiency and durability, often used in large commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
End-Suction Fire Pumps – Compact and cost-effective solutions for smaller fire protection systems.
