Fire pumping stations are designed to supply the estimated amount of water for extinguishing a fire in residential, office, warehouse, industrial, agricultural and other premises.
A fire extinguishing pumping station is an indispensable element of fire safety in any modern building. Usually fire pumps are always idle, therefore the main criterion when choosing a fire extinguishing pumping station is to ensure that the pumps start after a long idle period.
The main advantage of a pumping station based on a diesel and electric pump is its autonomy. Due to the fact that in the event of a fire, there is always a possibility of damage to the electrical wiring, the presence of a diesel-driven pump significantly reduces the risks of not starting the pumping station, on the reliability and stable operation of which the life of people directly depends on the moment of an emergency.
Another important advantage of this type of pumping station is the presence of a jockey pump.
A jockey pump or pressure maintenance pump is a small apparatus that works in conjunction with a fire pump as part of a fire suppression system.
