What are the key points of fire pump acceptance?
What are the key points of fire pump acceptance?

1. The total number of probes, buttons and modules on the main unit, whether domestic or imported, cannot exceed 3200 points. If this number exceeds this number, the main unit should be added.

2. Water pumps and fans are not allowed to start with frequency conversion, they must be started directly in one step, and frequency converters are not allowed in the control cabinet.

3. The number of loops is not allowed to exceed 200. If this number is exceeded, additional loops will be added. And an isolator should be added to the circuit, and an isolator can only have 32 points.

4. Modules are not allowed to be installed in strong current distribution cabinets (boxes), but should be installed in special module boxes.

5. In a building, no matter how many sound and light alarms there are, no matter how many broadcasts there are, all of them should be activated in case of fire, and every part and every corner should be aware of the fire at the same time for quick evacuation.

6. No matter how far the fire pump is linked with the 24V power supply, the voltage should not be lower than 22.8V when measured with a multimeter on site. If it is lower than this number, an additional 24V power supply should be added on site.

7. Construction personnel, when wearing 24V power lines in the future, they should wear fire-resistant copper core wires, which are the lines starting with NH, and the cross-section is not less than 1.5 square meters. The signal line can reduce the requirements. Use flame-retardant type, which is the line starting with ZR .

8. In the event of a fire, ordinary power, escalators, sewage pumps, recreational facilities, kitchen electricity, etc. should be cut off immediately; other normal lighting, domestic water pumps, security systems, passenger elevators, etc. should be cut off later or selectively cut off manually , to facilitate the evacuation of personnel.

9. When the manufacturer compiles the linkage relationship, one probe should not be used to link the fire pump facilities, but any two probes in the area or any probe plus any manual should be used to start the linkage.

10. In future residential buildings, 1.3 to 1.5 of the entrance of the residents should be equipped with an independent household alarm system, and smoke detectors and combustible gas detectors should be installed in bedrooms and kitchens.

A fire pump is a machine used to transport fire water. However, because some failures are prone to occur under different working conditions, the water leakage of the fire pump is one of them. There are both internal leakage and external leakage of fire pump water leakage, but any of them will affect the normal flow and lift of the fire pump.

First, it's easy to understand leaks. The leakage is that from the outside of the fire pump, it can be clearly seen that there is water leakage from the fire pump body. The location of the leakage is not fixed, but most of the leakage occurs on the mechanical seal, shaft seal and motor joints, even on the surface of the pump body. .

The internal leakage of the fire pump cannot be displayed, but its flow rate and lift are significantly reduced. However, whether it is internal leakage or external leakage is a fire pump failure, we need to identify it carefully and deal with it in time to prevent greater failures.

2. Causes and treatment methods of fire pump leakage

There are many reasons for fire pump leakage, including damage to the sealing surface, unevenness, loosening of bolts during installation, sand holes or cracks in the pump body, etc. Check the location of the fire pump leak to determine if there is a possibility of damage near it. For example, there is more leakage near the mechanical seal, so we can first judge the problem of the mechanical seal. If the pump body leaks, the pump body may have cracks.

After determining the cause of the leakage, the fire pump will be dismantled for further confirmation. If it's a sealing problem, you'll need to reseal and replace the gasket. When it is confirmed that there is a crack in the pump body, it should be replaced directly, and it is forbidden to continue to use it.

The reason for the internal leakage is mainly due to the damage of the check valve. In order to judge whether there is an internal crack, it is only necessary to stop the fire pump for a period of time, and then observe the pointer of the pressure gauge installed on the outlet pipe of the fire pump. You can accurately determine if the pump is leaking without changing it. If internal leakage is found, the seal of the check valve needs to be repaired or replaced with a new one.

What to do if the fire pump produces noise and what are the more common problems
What to do if the fire pump produces noise and what are the more common problems

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.

1. Why is the fire pump also called XBD fire pump set?

Answer: In fact, the water pumps used in fire protection are not only XBD fire pump sets. Fire pumps can be divided into ordinary fire pumps XB and vehicle fire pumps CB according to their mobility. According to the characteristics of the prime mover, they also include electric motors (D), gasoline engines (Q), and diesel engines (C), so XBD can be understood as ordinary electric fire pumps .

2. Are all water pumps subject to anti-corrosion tests?

A: Before installation, fire pumps are often subjected to many tests such as performance, operation, vacuum sealing, corrosion resistance, etc. to ensure that the pump can be used normally for a sufficient period of time. When the material of the flow-passing parts is aluminum alloy, bronze, stainless steel, and the material of the pump casing is cast iron, cast copper, or cast aluminum, anti-corrosion tests are not required because of the chemical properties of the material.

3. Are the most important parameters of the fire pump the flow and lift or the flow and pressure?

Answer: First of all, we must understand the relationship between pressure and lift: pressure = liquid density * g * lift (g = 0.981). In fact, the fire water pump can not only transport water, as long as the physical and chemical characteristics and water liquid are fine, but most of them transport water in daily life. The density of water is 1 ton per cubic meter. It can be obtained from the above formula : Pressure=1000*0.981*lift, pressure=0.981*lift, at this time the pressure and lift are almost the same, so whether we refer to lift or pressure, it can basically be regarded as a parameter.

How to maintain the fire pump correctly and choose the electrified power reasonably
How to maintain the fire pump correctly and choose the electrified power reasonably

How to maintain the fire pump is the simplest and most economical repair. It is necessary to prevent damage to the fire pump that prolongs the service life and prolong the service life. Naturally, it saves us money. In order to save costs, our daily maintenance can be like this.

First of all, check whether the oil level is normal and cannot reach the oil mark line on the normal surface. If it is not, we must replenish it in time, but remember one thing, it cannot exceed the amount of the oil quantity indicator line.

Secondly, check the radiator. The water is appropriate. If it is not added in time, the water that needs to be added must be clean water, as long as it is clean water, or tap water is fine. Why not use groundwater, because impurities in groundwater can easily form scales in the water tank, which affects the cooling effect and is also prone to failure. In winter, we drive to preheat the car, add coolant to the car, and the fire pump is no exception. The weather in the north is very cold, so add the coolant to the fire pump according to the actual temperature.

Finally, check the installation of each part of the fire pump, such as whether they are stable, the connection between the screw and the screw, if there is any looseness, tighten the screw in time. To clean the fire pump, soak a canvas or dry cloth and wipe slowly on the body or on surfaces made of grease or dust.


Only when the power is in the normal range can the fire pump be used efficiently. The requirements for the use of pump equipment are relatively strict, and there may not even be a slight leak, otherwise the use of the pump will be adversely affected. I hope that you need to know before using the pump. Remember:

The energizing power should be selected reasonably.

1. Water irrigation treatment Before selecting the power-on power, make sure that the fire pump is turned off, and the water in the pump should be filled to increase the suction, so as to make the pressure difference larger and quickly clean up some acid-base reagents and other pollutants. Make sure to fill the water well.

2. Selection of electrified power The horsepower of the fire pump will be selected according to the size of the pump. Before electrifying the pump, carefully check the electrical power. Once the power is not grasped accurately, it is easy to cause insufficient suction. Therefore, in order to make it have sufficient suction, the power should be selected reasonably. If there is no electricity, the fire pump cannot be started, let alone used. But does it mean that the pump can be used as long as there is electricity? Not necessarily, the pump can only be used if the electrified power is reasonable and the voltage is within the normal range.

What to pay attention to when choosing a fire pump certification company and how to maintain a fire hydrant pump
What to pay attention to when choosing a fire pump certification company and how to maintain a fire hydrant pump

Fire pumps are pumps used in fire fighting. They are divided into different types. Because of their fully sealed, non-exposed and corrosion-resistant characteristics, they are widely used in environmental protection, water management, fire protection and other departments to pump various liquids. They are leak-free and non-toxic. The ideal pumps for polluting elegant workshops and civilized factories are similar to the pumps used for fire protection, but the head and flow are different.

1. Adjust the tightness of the packing gland at any time according to the operating conditions of the fire pump. Seasoning seal drips 30 to 60 drops per minute.

2. Pay attention to the wear of the seasoning and adjust the filler in time. When replacing the packing, every time the packing is replaced, the joints of each adjacent packing should be staggered by more than 90 degrees, the water seal pipe should be aligned with the water seal pipe, and the opening of the outermost packing should be downward.

3. The fire pump should increase the lubrication or grease in the bearing in time to ensure that the oil level is normal, and check the oil quality change on a regular basis. If the oil quality is not good, replace it with new oil.

4. Regularly check the limit switch of the electric power valve and the manual and electric interlocking equipment.

5. The vibration of the pump should be checked regularly. When the vibration is unreasonable, the cause should be found out and dealt with in time.

6. Check, adjust and replace valve packing regularly to ensure no water leakage, no oil stain and no rust.

7. When using soft packing to seal, the packing should be added at any time according to the actual situation to prevent leakage.

8. The parts and components of the fire pump should be completely intact, and the handwriting on the assigned nameplate should be clear.

9. The external parts of the equipment should be perfect: no rust, no oil leakage, no electricity leakage, no water leakage, no air leakage.



The focus of the next step for fire pump manufacturers is how to maintain and maintain them. The more you pay attention to maintaining it, the more time you spend getting the product.

The maintenance of the fire hydrant pump is too much.

First, every time it is used, the location must be checked to ensure that the power supply and circuit of the fire protection system are in normal working condition. It is important to check regularly, 5 days a month. What to check? The lubricating oil level in the pump must be checked, and the filling position must be checked to see if it is in the center of the oil window or not above the center line.

Second, be punctual when checking the water on the pump and record relevant information. After the pump is officially started, check the operation of the float ball, and there must be no water in the exhaust pipe. If so, replace the floating ball seal in time. After the pump is started, check whether the exhaust is normal, whether the vacuum device is tightly sealed, and whether the exhaust is normal.

Fire pump manufacturers believe that the importance of maintenance and maintenance of fire hydrant pumps makes the service life longer

Introduction to the characteristics of fire pumps and how to operate them correctly
Introduction to the characteristics of fire pumps and how to operate them correctly

A fire pump is a single suction section of a vertical centrifugal pump used to deliver water free of solid particles, whose physical and chemical properties are similar to water in liquid. It is mainly used for pressurized water supply in fire protection systems, and can also be used for industrial water supply and drainage. The flow rate of the conveying liquid is in the range of 5-80 L/s, the pressure range is 0.2-0.2 MPa, the power range is 1.5-200 kW, and the diameter range is φ50-φ200 mm.

Main application: The vertical fire pump is mainly used in pipeline pressurization fire protection system. It is also applicable to industrial and urban water supply and drainage, high-rise building pressurized water supply, long-distance water supply, heating cold and hot water cycle pressurization, bathroom, boiler, air conditioning and refrigeration system Water delivery and supporting equipment, etc. new vertical multi-stage fire pump, including inlet, impeller, shaft, middle, water section, guide vane, impeller is set on the guide vane and discharge through the main shaft; guide vane is set on the middle part. Outlet section flow The channel is in the shape of a volute, and the final impeller is directly installed in the volute.

The new vertical multi-stage fire pump is not installed at the end of the guide vane in the water, and the water level at the end of the impeller is directly discharged to the outlet section of the spiral flow channel, and then passes through the outlet. It can improve the flow state of the water, reduce energy loss, and increase the efficiency of the pump. Efficiency, more beneficial is that it can greatly reduce the vibration and noise of the pump. Fire pumps are mainly used in pipeline pressurization fire protection systems. They can also be used in industrial and urban water supply and drainage, high-rise building pressure water supply, long-distance water supply, heating, toilets, boilers Cold and hot water cycle pressurization, air conditioning and refrigeration system water supply and supporting equipment, etc.

The preparations that the fire pump needs to make before work first depends on whether the motor steering is correct. This can be seen on the mark on the fire pump body. The time should be short to avoid wear and tear. When using it, open the exhaust valve and wait until When the liquid occupies the entire pump body, it is closed. If it is a high-temperature type, it needs to be preheated. This is to ensure uniform heating.

Second: Start: Close the pump outlet valve. Fully open the pump inlet valve. Start the motor and observe whether the pump is running correctly. Adjust the conditions required for the outlet valve to open. For example, the user is equipped with a flow or pressure gauge at the outlet of the pump. By adjusting the outlet When the valve is opened, the performance parameters of the fire pump should be listed at the rated point. If the user does not have the outlet flow or pressure gauge of the fire pump, it should be opened by adjusting the outlet valve; the measurement of the fire pump motor current makes the motor run at the rated current, otherwise it will cause damage. The pump is overloaded (i.e. high current operation, causing the motor to burn out) and the outlet valve is opened. The right side is the relevant condition of the small line. Check the leakage of the shaft seal, the rating

The leakage of the aluminum mechanical seal should be less than 3 drops/min. Check the motor, and the bearing temperature is below 80. C. Close: Close the outlet pipe valve. Stop the motor. Close the inlet and outlet valves. If the valve stops for a long time, the liquid in the fire pump should be discharged null.
