How do jockey pumps handle pressure management in systems with multiple pressure zones?
2024-08-22
In fire protection systems with multiple pressure zones, such as those found in large buildings or complex industrial facilities, jockey pumps are used to manage and balance the pressure between zones. Each zone may have different pressure requirements based on its location, height, or specific fire protection needs. Jockey pumps help to maintain the required pressure in each zone, preventing under- or over-pressurization, which could compromise the effectiveness of the fire protection system. Advanced control systems and pressure sensors are often employed to monitor and adjust the jockey pump's operation in real-time, ensuring optimal performance across all zones.
