Do you know how a diesel fire pump works?

A diesel fire pump is a pump that uses a diesel engine as a power source to drive a centrifugal pump. A diesel fire pump is a widely used firefighting equipment. It can be used for firefighting in buildings, factories, docks and other places, and can also be used for water supply, drainage and transportation in agriculture, industry, municipal administration, mining and other fields. The diesel fire pump is equipped with an independent diesel engine, so it can operate normally even if there is a power outage.

A diesel fire pump is mainly composed of a coupling, a centrifugal pump, a water tank, a base and other parts. Under normal working conditions, the diesel fire pump mainly drives the water pump to work through the energy generated by the diesel engine, thereby quickly providing a large amount of water. In addition, when the diesel fire pump is working, its water flow rate and head can also be adjusted according to actual needs.

The working principle of a diesel fire pump is the same as that of an ordinary centrifugal pump. They all use centrifugal force to draw water or other liquids from the inlet into the pump, and then push it out of the pump body and flow to the outlet. When a fire occurs, the control system will start the diesel engine to drive the centrifugal pump to work and provide water for fire fighting.
