What is a Jockey Pump in a Fire System?

The pipeline jockey pump plays a key role in determining constant pressure and ensuring the normal operation of the fire pump system. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at how jockey pumps work, their functions, and their necessity in fire pump systems.

Introduction to jockey pump

As an integral part of the fire pump system, the jockey pump is mainly used to maintain the pressure level of the fire pump system. Compared with other water pumps, jockey pumps can operate at lower flow rates, so they are irreplaceable.

Jockey pump function

The jockey pump can operate autonomously, reducing the need for manual intervention and ensuring that the system remains ready at all times, thereby reducing the risk of downtime. Furthermore, jockey pumps prevent pressure loss and can detect and correct small leaks within fire pipes.

The time required for a pipeline jockey pump and its necessity:

In order to ensure that the fire protection system is protected from damage during startup, the emergence of a pipeline surge pump is particularly critical, as it can effectively reduce pressure fluctuations.

All in all, the professional design and automatic operation of the jockey pump make it an indispensable part of the fire pump system. Its reliability and readiness in the face of emergencies make it stand out among many water pumps.
