The national standard name of the diesel engine fire pump is “engineering diesel engine fire pump set”, and the national standard model is XBC-QYW/XBC-QYS where L is the lift value and Q is the flow value. XBC diesel engine fire pump set is the latest according to the national standard GB6245-2006 “fire pump performance requirements and test methods”. This series of products has a wide range of lift and flow, and can fully meet the fire water supply in various occasions such as warehouses, docks, airports, petrochemicals, power plants, liquefied gas stations, textiles and other industrial and mining enterprises.

NFPA 20 requires fire pumps to be powered by a continuously available power source, usually identified as an uninterruptible power source. In many cases, this requirement requires a backup generator to be provided as a backup power source in the event of a power failure, in which case the fire pump controller must be equipped with an automatic transfer switch. The choice of fire pump depends on the building infrastructure and available space. The most common choices for fire pump drives are electric motors and diesel engines.
