A fire pump set provides the flow and pressure that hydrant and sprinkler systems rely on. Getting the duty right starts with the system it serves.
Why three pumps?
- Jockey pump — maintains standby pressure so the system stays charged.
- Main electric pump — delivers firefighting flow and pressure on demand.
- Diesel pump — provides backup if electrical power fails.
What determines the duty?
Flow and pressure demand come from the hydrant and sprinkler design — the number of devices expected to operate, the building height, and the applicable design basis. Water storage is sized to sustain that demand for the required duration.
