What is a fire pump?
Fire pump is a specialized water pump used in firefighters. While most water pumps are designed to distribute water at a set or variable pressure, the fire pump is part of a high -pressure system. Intense pressure maintained by a fire pump can quickly supply water over a wide area or in a high -pressure current on the concentrated area. Neither method will help firefighters. Firefighting pumps are part of the construction of spraying systems and are also used in fire -fighting vehicles. They can distribute foam or other slowdown of fire and water. In the 16th and 17th centuries, firefighters had to penetrate the supply of municipal water, which was a small improvement. The first fire pump was invented at the end of the 16th century, soon followed by a fire hose. Paris was the first city to have a fire brigade, founded by the French king in 1716.Irefighters were called pompiers or PSIMBY and in modern times are still known under this name.
Firefighting pump helps firefighter firefighter by providing pressure flow of water, which firefighters can direct to strategic areas with fire hoses. Firefighting engines contain a portable fire pump for this purpose. Fire hydrant water is diverted to a fire pump engine and then to fire hoses. The pressure stream of water extinguishes burning materials when cooling the surroundings and prevents the spread of fire. The pressure current is still much more efficient than the water itself to burn fire.
Fire pumps are also necessary parts of sprayer building systems. When the spray system is activated by a heat or smoke detector, the sprayers plant water or ceilings to distribute water throughout the building. Again, high pressure is required to ensure the whole or the area is saturated. A smaller pump, called a jockey pump, is attached to the fire pump to keep this high pressure at the OPERATION OF THE SPRING SYSTEM.
Fire pump varieties are available for specialized firefighting situations. For example, fire boats pump liquid directly from the surrounding water body, rather than knocking into municipal systems to fight fire on ships or coasts. Other fire pumps allow the addition of compressed air foam, highly effective fire slowing. Added to water, compressed air foam is often used for oil or chemical fires or other flames that would withstand traditional water treatment methods.
