The engine room is designed so it can be sealed off completely in case of fire, in order to: 1. Prevent the fire from spreading to other areas. 2. Starve the fire of oxygen. 3. Be able to pump in and maintain a fire fighting gas such as CO2 (which smothers it) or Halon (which inhibits combustion).
A jockey pump is a small pump connected to a fire sprinkler system and is intended to maintain pressure in a fire protection piping system to an artificially high level so that the operation of a single fire sprinkler will cause a pressure drop which will be sensed by the fire pump automatic controller, causing the fire pump to start. The jockey pump is essentially a portion of the fire pump's control system.
The engine powers a hydraulic pump, which then push the hydraulic oil to the pistons.
The first fire engine, known as the "pump" or hand pump, was developed in the early 17th century. One of the earliest recorded examples was created by the Dutch inventor Jan van der Heyden in 1672. However, horse-drawn fire engines became more common by the 18th century, significantly improving firefighting capabilities. The introduction of steam-powered fire engines in the 19th century further revolutionized fire suppression efforts.
No, fire engine is not a compound word. fire and engine are to words not together. : ) :P : ) :P Simples : )
when there is a fire the fire engine pulls up and hopefully connects a hose to a fire hydrant and that brings water into the engine. The fire engine then pumps the water from the hydrant to the engine and finally to the hoses and they help pump water up to the hose to stop a fire.
For a vehicle to qualify as a fire engine it must have a water pump and a hose.
NO....if Fuel pump doesnt sent fuel to engine...engine cannot combust...

If the vehicle has an electric fuel pump, then no, it runs no matter if the engine is running or not, but it will only run for a few seconds unless the engine is started. However if the pump is mechanical then the engine must be running for the pump to work.
Heat Engine is the system that converts the Heat energy into mechanical work while Heat pump converts the work into heat
A fuel pump is needed because you need to move fuel from the tank to the engine at the appropriate rate to get the engine to work the way you want it to.
The pump is on the rear of the engine by the fire wall, clear towards the bottom of the engine. You will need a flashlight and almost laying on the engine to see it. Its a bare to check and even worse to fill.
IT TURNS OVER BUT WONT FIRE
Not necessarily; the fuel sending unit is just the pump and signal; are you getting fuel to the engine??? you can smell it above the engine if not listen for the fuel pump when you turn the ignition (key) it should fire;pump;actuate, if not then you need a new pump/sending unit. Is the engine turning over? Is it trying to start? Do the lights and wipers work? i.e. if you are getting power, and fuel, then it could be the cap and rotor and maybe the spark plugs that need to be changed.
its probally your fuel regulator, cheaper and easier than your fuel pump too!
Not a lot. A fire fighting pump found on most fire engines is the centrifugal type. Other than the amount of water it may flow and the number of discharges it can supply, there is no difference (although I'm not sure what "ordinary centrifugal pump" refers to unless it is a trash or sump pump). Centrifugal type pumps weren't always used in the fire service, but they are the standard now because they can spin (they can pump or maintain pressure) even when there is no water actually flowing.
