The difference between fire pump and ordinary water pump

Some customers said that when they first purchased the fire pump, they would always take detours. They felt that the fire pump and the ordinary water pump were the same, in order to control costs, use ordinary pumps as fire pumps. Well, today, Better Technology CO., LTD. will analyze the difference between the two.

1. The fire pump is an emergency pump, which is rarely used in normal times. For this reason, in order to ensure that the fire pump can still be used normally at a critical time, the corrosion resistance of the fire pump is often higher than that of the ordinary water pump. For example, an important part of a common water pump is an impeller. Generally, the impeller of the fire pump is made of pure copper or stainless steel, which is different from the cast iron material of a common water pump and has higher corrosion resistance.

   

   

2. In addition to simple water supply, the more important of Fire pump is fire resistance, in general, the surface of fire pump will have a layer of red paint, in addition to preventing rust, the fire-proof performance of fire pump is better than ordinary pumps. At the same time, the material of the fire pump must be metal, so that the fire resistance performance will be good.
3. The work circumstances of the fire pump are special. In the event of the fire hazard, the location temperature of the fire pump is often relatively high. For this reason, the high-temperature resistance of the fire pump is better than that of the ordinary water pump.

Because of the function, the use of the site, the use characteristics, the fire pump and the ordinary pump must have different. However, the fire pump is more particular and more in-depth in terms of material selection and skill research and development. So the price of fire pumps will be higher than that of ordinary pumps.

There are many types of fire pumps, such as for vehicles, fire hydrant systems, sprinkler systems, etc. household pumps are also different. Sometimes it is difficult to say accurately. Simply speaking, the fire pump must meet the corresponding fire protection requirements in its design, such as pressure, speed, work adaptability, etc..
