Fire pumps - are specialised centrifugal pumps designed for the high-pressure delivery of water or other extinguishing liquids in fire extinguishing systems. They provide a quick response to a fire by delivering large volumes of liquid to sprinkler systems, hydrants or hand-held fire hoses.
Construction:
The pumps are available in single or multistage, end suction, split casing or vertical shaft versions, depending on the system requirements. The principle of operation is based on the centrifugal force generated by the rotating impeller.
Main functions
- High pressure: water supply to high heights and distances
- Great performance: pumping hundreds or thousands of litres per minute
- Reliability: stable operation even in critical conditions
- Fast response: instant start-up of the system in case of fire
The fire pumps comply with international standards, including NFPA 20 (USA) and EN 12845 (EU), which ensures reliability and safety.
Areas of application
- Residential property: high-rise buildings, cottages
- Commercial properties: offices, shopping malls, warehouses
- Industry: plants, factories, energy
- Infrastructure: airports, hospitals, educational institutions
- Agriculture: farms, greenhouse complexes
- Maritime sector: vessels, offshore platforms
Design features
- High performance and efficiency: 100 to 5000 GPM (litres per minute)
- Two-sided suction: less vibration and stress in models with separate housing
- Easy maintenance: quick access to the impeller and shaft
- Sustainable materials: stainless steel, cast iron, bronze
- Power sources: electric, diesel or combined
- Automation: support for automatic start when a fire is detected
- Certification: compliance with NFPA 20, UL, FM standards
How to choose a fire pump?
