Choose the Ideal Supplier for Firefighting pumps

Rayde Company specializes in supplying firefighting pumps of various types that hold certifications from internationally recognized testing laboratories approved by civil defense authorities. These firefighting pumps comply with the general safety requirements for buildings and facilities, aiming to meet customer needs and minimize fire losses as much as possible.

Firefighting pumps

A specialized emergency fire pump that operates on electricity, steam/gas, or diesel. Its main function is to push water through a pump into fire suppression systems. At Rayde Fire Fighting Company, we provide you with the best original and high-quality fire water pumps to ensure safety and security.

Components of emergency fire pumps:

  • Steam or gas turbine engine.
  • Electric or diesel engine.
  • Steel casing and casing wear rings.
  • Impeller disk.
  • Drive shaft.
  • Inverter.
  • Stuffing.
  • Screws.

Fire pump installation method:

  1. First, obtain approval for installing fire pumps in the building.
  2. Verify the suitability and specifications of the fire pumps, and choose either an electric fire fighting pump or a diesel fire fighting pump based on the building’s size and infrastructure.
  3. Identify a suitable location for installation, preferably a centrally accessible area in the building and a room free from flammable materials, avoiding damp areas.
  4. Identify the necessary connection lines for the pump’s operation, such as valves and fittings. You can refer to the engineering diagrams for the pump.
  5. Ensure the availability of components required for the pump’s operation, such as water and electricity. Check the valve to prevent water backflow, then install them carefully. It is recommended to have a backup pump in the building.
  6. Create an emergency door that provides easy access to the fire pump room when access is restricted.
  7. Test and inspect the pump to ensure the proper functioning of all its parts before operation.
  8. Regularly maintain the fire pumps and carry out necessary repairs in case of malfunctions.

firefighting pumps Specifications:

  1. High efficiency and capable of generating water pressure quickly to effectively extinguish fires (pressure should not be less than 65%).
  2. Good performance and ability to operate for long periods without sudden failures.
  3. Should be able to operate in all weather and environmental conditions.
  4. Easy to operate and maintain, with a long lifespan.
  5. Compliance with specified safety standards and applicable government regulations.
  6. Equipped with safety features to prevent accidents and damage.

 

When is there an increased need for firefighting pumps?

  1. The need for a fire water pump arises when the regular water supply system cannot provide sufficient pressure to meet the requirements of fire sprinkler systems (hydraulic systems).
  2. If the building is tall and requires high vertical water pressure to supply a large amount of water.
  3. If the fire suppression water tanks come from ground-level tanks.

Types of fire pump systems according to their operation:

  1. UL FM Fire Pump
The best types of fire pump systems comply with standard specifications. They are designed to be simple and horizontal, allowing you to obtain water supplies at a positive head. They consume minimal energy and do not require regular maintenance. They are suitable for large buildings, hospitals, and airports.
  1. UL Listed Fire Pumps
An electric fire pump that is certified for fire safety. It is known for its high quality and operates using an electric motor.
  1. Jockey pump fire fighting system
An essential part of the automatic control system for the fire engine pumps. It is connected to a sprinkler system to provide consistent pressure to protect against fires. It occupies 3% of the main fire pump flow and provides a pressure increase of 10 pressure units beyond the main fire station.
  1. Diesel fire fighting pump
An auxiliary fire pump that operates using a battery-powered engine and is used in case of power outages at the site.

Types of fire pump systems based on installation method:

  1. End-Suction Fire Pumps:
These are primary fire pumps that comply with global specifications and standards. They are installed at the ends of low-pressure vertical pipes and operate when activated by the central fire suppression system. They draw water from the source and push it through pipes to fire hydrants and sprinklers used for fire suppression. They are known for their ability to quickly pump a large volume of water, making them suitable for use in large areas such as warehouses, large buildings, and industrial complexes. They are further divided into several types:
  • Single-piece Pump with Motor
  • Close-Coupled Pump
  • Long-Coupled Pump
  • Parallel Flow Pump
  • Vertically Split Pump
  1. Horizontal Split-Fire Pumps:
These fire fighter pumps are horizontally installed on a level surface and operate independently of the main fire pump. They are used in large buildings, factories, and airports. They contain an electric motor, a control device, valves, and connecting pipes. They efficiently and quickly pump water for the fire suppression system. They are available in various types:
  • Multi-Stage Pump
  • Single-Stage Pump
  1. Vertical Pumps:
These fire engine pumps operate with a vertical shaft configuration. They consist of an electric motor, the rotating part that pumps water, water valves, and pipelines. The main shaft of the pump is installed in such a way that the pump motor and the rotating part are on the same vertical line. They range from small residential pumps to large industrial pumps. They are used in agricultural irrigation, hospitals, schools, and factories, as well as in sewage, petroleum, and mining industries. They come in different types:
  • Multi-Stage Pump
  • Parallel Flow Pump
  • Turbine Pump
  1. Close-Coupled Parallel Flow Pump:
These high pressure fire fighting pumps are widely installed in industrial and commercial areas. They convert kinetic energy into highly efficient and high-pressure energy, and they are capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures.

Maintenance of fire fighting pump system:

Maintenance of fire pumps is a critical factor in ensuring safety and security, and it is divided into three types based on the schedule:
  1. Weekly maintenance:
  • Test the temperature rise and electrical connections for 30 minutes by manually operating the pump using the pressure switch.
  • Test the electric generator for at least 3 minutes and record the results each time.
  • Inspect the batteries and diesel engine to ensure there are no fuel or oil leaks.
  • Lubricate and grease all engine parts, ensuring proper cleaning of the fire fighter pump.
  1. Monthly maintenance:
  • Perform the same steps as weekly maintenance, noting and recording all data.
  • Ensure the battery’s charging quality and replenish its solution.
  • Ensure the fuel level is not less than 75% in the tank and refill as necessary.
  • Check the performance of the cooling system and electric motor in case of voltage drop.
  1. Annual maintenance:
  • Perform the same steps as monthly maintenance, along with conducting meticulous inspections of fire engine pump components.
  • Test the control panel’s performance under increased loads, promptly repair any malfunctions, and replace damaged parts.
  • Replace damaged parts in the pump with new and genuine components, such as diesel spare parts.

The fire fighting pump price:

  • The prices of fire pumps vary based on several factors, including:
  • Size and type of fire pumps.
  • Brand and manufacturing materials.
  • Country of manufacture.
In general, fire fighting pump prices reach tens of thousands of dollars. The price of a 250-gallon fire fighter pump differs from that of a 350-gallon fire fighter pump, which also differs from that of a 500-gallon fire fighter pump, and so on.
