What is a Fire Fighting Pump?

  • The Water Booster: A fire pump is a powerful machine designed to dramatically increase water pressure within a fire sprinkler system. This ensures that water reaches every sprinkler head with enough force to fight a fire effectively.
  • Essential for Large Structures: In tall buildings or expansive warehouses, fire pumps are often a necessity. If a city’s water supply can’t deliver the pressure needed on its own, it is the solution.

What Makes Up Fire Fighting Pumps?

1. Pump Unit

The pump unit is the core of any fire fighting system. It is usually powered by an internal combustion engine, gas or diesel, and the purpose of it is to pull water from a water source, such as a lake, river, or a hydrant, and pressurize the water so that it can be delivered to the fire through hoses.

2. Water Source

The fire pump system is fed by different water sources. Among them are natural water sources such as rivers, lakes, or ponds, municipal water supplies from hydrants, or even water tanks specifically on firefighting vehicles.

3. Hoses and Fittings

Hoses are used as super-strong pipes which carry water from the pump to extinguish the fire. Extra strength hoses are designed for the tough job of fighting fires. 

They also come with unique connectors, which enable them to be connected to the pump and other firefighting tools.

4. Nozzles

Nozzles are an important part of controlling the flow and direction of water that is released from the hoses.

Nozzle settings can be modified by firefighters to deliver a concentrated stream of water, fog, or a blend of both, depending on the needs of the fire operation.

5. Valves and Gauges

Valves help control the water flow within the system and thus, enable firefighters to manage water distribution and pressure.

Gauges offer water pressure level feedback in real-time for continued monitoring and setting adjustments by firefighters during firefighting activities.

6. Priming System

The priming system presence in many firefighting systems aids the first stage. This system eliminates air from the pump and suction hose, which results in effective water flow and prevents the cavitation that can destroy the product.

7. Engine or Power Source

The power for the pump unit usually comes from an internal combustion engine, either fuelled by petrol or diesel, that provides the required energy to operate the it and create water pressure.

Electric pumps that are run by generators or other sources can also be used in some instances.

8. Control Panel

Firefighting pump systems are installed with several safety measures to safeguard the equipment and firefighters.

Such features can be automatic shut-off valves, pressure relief valves, and overheat protection systems that prevent damage and ensure safe operation.

9. Safety Features

Most modern firefighting pump systems come with control panels which are electronic and let the firefighters view and adjust the settings.

 These panels might show an array of critical data like water pressure, engine RPM, and system status indicators.

How Do Fire Fighting Pumps Work?

  • Fire!: When a fire starts, sensors trigger the firefighting pump to kick into gear.
  • Super Suction: It draws water from the water storage.
  • Pressure Generation: It draws water from an external source (city supply, well, reservoir) and boosts the pressure significantly.
    This pressurized water can then overcome height differences and travel distances that standard water supply pressure couldn’t manage.
  • Power Sources: Most run on electricity, but some may use diesel engines or even steam for additional reliability.
  • Water Blast! The supercharged water rushes through the pipes and is released through sprinkler heads or hoses, aimed directly at the fire.

Types of Fire Fighting Pumps

There are a few different kinds of fire fighting pumps, each with strengths:

  • Centrifugal Pumps: The most common type. They’re great for pumping lots of water quickly.
  • Positive Displacement Pumps: Good for special firefighting liquids like foam, which help smother flames.
  • Diesel Pumps: These have their own engine and are used as a backup in case the electricity goes out.

Types of Fire Fighting Pumps: Overview

Here’s a table summarizing the most common fire pump types:

Types of Fire Pumps
  • Positive Displacement Pumps: These produce high pressure with a small volume of water, used in some specialty fire suppression systems, mist, or foam.
  • Centrifugal Pumps: Spinning impellers are used to develop high pressure by utilizing centrifugal force, this is the most popular type. They are available in multiple configurations to suit diverse needs.
  • Horizontal Split-Case: Multifunctional and maintainable.
  • Vertical Turbine: Best for confined areas or sources of deep water.
  • In-Line: Compact and designed for the increase of existing pressure.
  • End Suction: Plain structure for particular purposes.
