The Electrical Motor Driven Main Pump's function is to START automatically when a hydrant valve or sprinkler is activated and to provide adequate quantity of water under pressure to the system.
The capacity of the pump will differ, basis the size of the system. The pump is stopped manually.
INSTALLATION OF VALVE
Gate Valve
Gate valve is used when a straight line flow of fluid and when minimum restriction is desired.
They are named so because the part either stops or allows flow through the valve acts like the opening and closing of a gate.
When the valve is wide open the Gate is fully drawn in to the valve leaving an opening which is same as the size of the pipe, therefore there is only a little pressure drop.
Fire Pump Control Panel
Fire Pump Control Panel consists of electrical components like Circuit Breaker, Switches, Relays & other components dedicated to the operation of pumps.
The components installed in the panel receives signal from alarm devices like Pressure Switch and activates motor control devices to provide power to fire pumps and monitor its performance.
Pressure Guage
The function of the Pressure Gauge is to indicate the pressure in the system.
The ideal pressure in the line should be 7 kgf/cm2
