Whether
it’s a hotel, a restaurant, a high-rise building, or a warehouse, fire
protection is a must-have for all types of premises. And that’s the reason why fire
pumps are installed. New York City Fire Pumps are powered either by an electric motor or a diesel engine, helping
you deliver adequate water pressure to fire sprinklers.
When
the water pressure is low in the fire sprinkler system, dropping below a
certain limit, the fire pump comes in action and boosts the water pressure. For
fire protection installation, you can use one or more fire pumps as needed,
depending on the occupancy hazard and specific fire installation standard.
NY
Fire Pumps are generally made of non-corrosive internal parts that avoid
clogging, seizing, and corrosion. Plus, they are specifically designed to avoid
cavitation. A jockey pump is used to maintain water pressure in the fire
sprinkler system. So when there’s a sudden drop in pressure, the device will
sense the drop and cause the fire pump to start automatically.
Getting
a New York Fire Pump is important if you live in a high-rise building,
where maintaining ideal water pressure is difficult in fire sprinklers. These
fire pumps are usually housed in a pump room, usually closer to the fire tank.
The pump should be located at a level just beneath the bottom of the fire tank.
This will allow water in the tanks to flow in the pump with the help of
gravity.
These
fire pumps are controlled by pressure sensors to detect the drop and turn the
fire pumps on. The only way you can turn it off is by doing so manually. This
practice is internationally followed in order to avoid the pump switching off.
