Types of fire pumps

There are four types fire pump, including end suction pump, split case pump, multiage pump and vertical turbine pump. These fire pumps may bepowered by an electric motor or diesel engine and on rare occasion powered by a steam turbine.

Horizontal split case pumps: the most commonly used type of pump. This is due to their ease of access to all working parts, availability of various sizes, ability to efficiently move large amounts of water, and their long term dependability. This type of pump requires a water source that provides a positive suction pressure.

End suction pump: ISW (in-line), cost-effective

Multistage pump: Multiage pump with high lift, greater than or equal to 120M

Vertical turbine pump: this type of pump is able to operate without priming. The typical supplies for these pumps are underground tanks or wells. When operating, these pumps force water up through the column pipe to the pump discharge.

    Electronic Components: The main electric components is CHNT, if Schneider or other brand electrical are need, should mention it before place the order.
    Safety Valve plays a safety protection role in the system. When the system pressure exceeds the prescribed value, the safety valve opens, and a part of the gas/fluid in the system is discharged into the atmosphere/pipeline, so that the system pressure does not exceed the allowable value, so as to ensure that the system does not cause accidents due to excessive pressure.
    Pressure Tank: Water is a non-compressible medium. Generally speaking, the pressure drop of fire-fighting pipe network is normal. However, the pressure drop is very slow, the total loss of water in the pipe network isnot large, and the frequent change of pressure in the pipe network leads to frequent start-up and shutdown of pumps. Especially when the power of equipment is high, it will cause great impact on pressure sensors, relaysand motors, thus affecting the performance and life whole equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right volume of the pressure tank.
