Fire Booster Sets
A fire booster set is a pump set that keeps the fire system line under constant pressure and supplies the flow and pressure needed by sprinklers, hose cabinets and hydrants during a fire.
It is used in buildings and facilities with sprinkler systems, hose cabinets and hydrant lines. The set usually consists of a duty pump, standby pump and a jockey pump to hold pressure; capacity is chosen by project calculation.
Main Applications
- Sprinkler systems
- Fire hose cabinet lines
- Hydrant networks
- Shopping centres, hotels and hospitals
- Warehouses and industrial plants
- Car park fire systems
