Fire Fighting Jockey Pump With Controller plays a critical role in ensuring that fire sprinkler systems remain fully pressurized and ready for immediate action. Unlike the main fire pump, the jockey pump handles minor fluctuations in system pressure, preventing unnecessary activations and extending the life of the entire fire protection setup.
Key Features and Technical Details
- Usage/Application: Fire Fighting
- Coating: Color Coated for durability
- Connection: Directly connects to the fire sprinkler system
- Performance: Automatic pump operation
- Industry: Fire Protection Equipment
- Media: Water
- Controller: Integrated for fully automatic pressure control
- Function: Maintains constant system pressure in sprinkler pipes
How Does a Fire Fighting Jockey Pump Work?
A jockey pump works alongside the main fire pump. It continuously maintains system pressure within the fire sprinkler pipes. When a sprinkler head opens during a fire, the resulting drop in pressure signals the fire pump controller, which immediately starts the main fire pump.
Instead of allowing small pressure losses to trigger the large fire pump, the jockey pump steps in first. This not only ensures efficient system performance but also prevents wear and tear on high-power equipment.
Advantages of Using a Jockey Pump with Controller
- Quick Response: Keeps pressure stable, allowing the main fire pump to start instantly when needed
- Cost-Effective: Reduces energy usage by avoiding unnecessary fire pump activations
- Corrosion Resistance: Color-coated design protects against rust and wear
- Hands-Free Operation: Automatic control eliminates the need for manual monitoring
- Versatility: Works well in commercial buildings, industrial plants, hospitals, warehouses, and residential complexes
In addition, the jockey pump enhances system reliability and ensures regulatory compliance in fire safety installations.
Why Choose an Automatic Jockey Pump System?
By selecting a jockey pump with a smart controller, you ensure that your fire protection system stays efficient and always ready. The automatic control system adjusts in real-time, compensating for pressure changes and preventing emergency false starts. As a result, your fire pump system remains in top condition with minimal maintenance.
