A fire pump room is a crucial component of a fire protection system, providing the necessary water pressure and flow to fight fires effectively.
Function
The primary function of a fire pump is to ensure continuous supply of water at required pressure to meet the demands of the firefighting systems like sprinkler systems, fire hydrants, water spray systems, water mist systems, water foam systems etc.
Components
A fire pump room includes several key components:
These pumps draw and distribute water and can be powered by electricity or diesel.
Control panels and devices manage the operation of the fire pumps, ensuring automatic activation during emergencies.
These smaller pumps maintain system pressure when the main pumps are inactive.
These components ensure proper water distribution.
Redundant power sources like diesel engines or generators provide uninterrupted operation.
