Fire Hydrant Pump System

A fire hydrant pump system is a crucial component of a building's fire protection infrastructure. It ensures that water is delivered at adequate pressure and volume to fire hydrants and sprinklers in the event of a fire. Here’s a detailed overview of its components, functions, and features:

Key Components:

1. Fire Hydrant Pumps:

   • Primary Pump: The main pump that draws water from the water source (like a tank or municipal supply) and delivers it to the fire hydrants.
   • Jockey Pump: A smaller pump that maintains system pressure and prevents the main pump from running unnecessarily due to small pressure fluctuations.

2. Pump Controller:

   • Automatic Control Panel: Manages the operation of the pumps, including starting and stopping based on pressure sensors and fire alarm signals.
   • Manual Controls: Allows for manual operation and adjustment of the pump system during maintenance or emergencies.

3. Pressure Tanks:

   • Hydro-pneumatic Tanks: Used to store and pressurize water to ensure a consistent supply and pressure in the system.
