Jockey Pump
A Jockey Pump is a little pump used to keep pressure in the sprinkler pipes of a fire sprinkler system. This is done to make sure that if a fire sprinkler is turned on, there will be a pressure drop, and the jockey pump will turn on to counteract this pressure drop.
Fire Jockey Pump
A Fire Jockey Pump is a small pump used in fire protection systems. Its main job is to keep the water pressure steady in the pipes. This helps the big main pump, which provides water during a fire, work properly when needed.
Why it’s important:
-
Keeps Pressure Steady: The jockey pump makes sure the pressure in the system stays at the right level by handling small pressure changes.
-
Supports the Main Pump: It helps by handling minor pressure issues, so the big main pump doesn’t have to turn on too often. This the main pump last longer
Operation
-
Automatic Activation: The jockey pump is typically activated automatically by a pressure switch or sensor. When the system pressure drops below a certain threshold, the jockey pump turns on to restore pressure. Once the pressure is back to normal, the pump shuts off.
-
Sizing: Jockey pumps are usually the main fire pumps. Their capacity is designed to be just enough to handle minor pressure adjustments and maintain system pressure without overwhelming the system.
