·Determining the type

The design of fire pumps is divided into different types depending on the classification of the fire pump. The types of pump for different types of fire protection systems are similar, but the head and flow rate vary. Therefore, we need to determine the actual situation according to the use, generally we recommend the purchase of high pressure fire pumps for large occasions.

 

·Determining water consumption

The fire pump room is determined by the amount of water used and the height of the building. At the same time, the selection of the type of fire pump should pay attention to the choice of a pump with a relatively gentle performance curve as far as possible to prevent overpressure when the fire-fighting equipment is initially opened.

 

In short, unlike domestic water pumps, fire pumps do not need to consider the changing laws of water use and need to choose pumps with different flow rates to adjust the water volume to achieve maximum economic efficiency. The head required to fill the water column is at least twenty metres, plus the horizontal height of the hydrant mouth from the hydrant pump, plus the head loss, and these factors must be taken into account.

 

How to select a fire pump?

 

The selection of fire pumps should be based on the process flow of the fire pump application project to select. Therefore, when we select the fire pump, we should consider five aspects such as the liquid delivery volume, the head of the device, the nature of the liquid, the pipeline arrangement and the operating and running conditions. In judging the quality of the product, we suggest carefully watching whether the fire pump has passed the national compulsory inspection, to see the compulsory inspection report of the latest year, which is issued by the Ministry of Public Security Fire Product Conformity Assessment Centre.
