The pump that supplies water to some sprinkler systems is called a fire pump. These pumps can be powered in several ways: namely diesel and electric. The water source connected to the pump inlet can be a static water source (i.e. lake, reservoir, tank) or a pipe from an underground public water supply.

The fire pump is usually equipped with a local control cabinet. The control cabinet does not have a transfer control switch for automatic and manual conversion, but the automatic control loop leaves start and stop contacts, which are connected to the fire alarm system control module. In addition, according to the relevant regulations, the system using the bus linkage control should also be set in the fire control room with buttons that can directly start and stop the pump.
When the fire alarm system receives the signal of the fire hydrant start pump button, the control module automatically starts the fire pump and collects its feedback signal.

The XBC diesel engine fire pump set is newly developed according to the national standard GB6245-2006 “Fire Pump Performance Requirements and Test Methods” and other standards.
