FAQs
What Is a Fire Pump and Why Is It Required in Fire Protection Systems?
A fire pump is a key part of a building’s fire protection system. It boosts water pressure when the normal supply cannot meet demand, helping sprinklers and hydrants deliver strong flow during emergencies.
What Are the Different Types of Fire Pumps Used in Buildings?
Buildings use several fire pump types, including electric motor driven, diesel engine driven, and jockey pumps. Horizontal split case, vertical turbine, and in-line designs match water sources, pressure needs, and space limits.
What Is the Role of a Fire Pump Room or Pump House?
A fire pump room, sometimes called a pump house, protects fire pump equipment in a dedicated, controlled space. It provides access for testing, maintenance, fuel storage, controllers, and operation during fire events.
When Is a Diesel Fire Pump Required Instead of Other Drive Options?
A diesel fire pump is required when electrical power may fail during a fire. Engines operate independently, making them suitable for remote sites and facilities with unreliable electricity.
What Standards Are Followed for Fire Pump Design and Installation?
Fire pump design and installation follow recognized standards such as NFPA 20, along with local civil defense and building codes. These rules cover performance, testing, controllers, piping layout, and long-term reliability.
