WORKING PRINCIPLE

Fire pump systems are essential for delivering water through sprinkler systems when mains pressure or other fire suppression equipment is insufficient. In low-rise buildings, they are critical for effective fire containment.

A fire pump system consists of the pump, motor (or driver), and controller. It draws water from an underground supply, tank, lake, or reservoir and is powered by electricity or diesel. The pump then distributes water throughout sprinkler networks and hose standpipes to protect your site.

Global Pumps can design and commission custom diesel and electric fire pump sets to meet the specific requirements of commercial, industrial, or mining fire pump applications.

FAQs

What pumps are available as fire pumps?

The scale and size of the pumps will vary depending on your application, however in most instances ISO end suction centrifugal pumps are utilised in fire pump set-ups.

End Suction Pumps are high efficiency, high performance and high quality end-suction pumps. These pumps are available in cast iron and stainless for use in these applications.

Please see our essential guide to fire pumps blog for more information about diesel vs electric fire pumps.
