Fire Fighting Pumping System
The MK FLOW Fire Fighting Pump System is a critical safety solution engineered to supply water at high pressure to fire protection systems in residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. Designed to meet NFPA, UL/FM, and local fire safety standards, our systems are available in electric motor, diesel engine, and jockey pump configurations.
These systems are built for instant readiness, high reliability, and robust performance under emergency conditions.
🧯 System Configuration
A complete Fire Fighting Pump Set typically includes:
| Pump Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Main Pump (Electric) | Provides full-capacity water flow during fire emergencies |
| Diesel Engine Pump | Backup to ensure water flow in case of electrical failure |
| Jockey Pump | Maintains system pressure and handles minor pressure drops |
| Controller Panel | Automatic operation, alarms, and system monitoring |
| Base Frame & Piping | Skid-mounted for ease of installation |
| Optional Add-ons | Pressure switches, flow meters, NRVs, pressure relief valves |
⚙️ Working Principle
The system works on the principle of pressure maintenance. When a drop in pressure (due to fire sprinkler or hydrant activation) is detected:
- Jockey pump starts to restore pressure.
- If pressure drops further, the main electric or diesel fire pump is activated automatically.
- The pump draws water from a dedicated fire water storage tank or main line and delivers it at high pressure to the fire hydrants, sprinklers, or hose reels.
