FIRE PUMPSHorizontal Fire Pumps / Vertical Fire Pumps / Pre-Packaged Fire Systems

®



Ruhrpumpen’s Fire Pumps are Listed by Underwriter’sLaboratories and Approved by Factory Mutual. The completerange includes Horizontal, Vertical Fire Pumps and completePre-Packaged Fire Systems, in both 50 and 60 Hz. The pumpsare available in electric motor, diesel engine or steam turbinedriven configuration.

Ruhrpumpen’s Horizontal Split-Case, End suction and VerticalIn-Line centrifugal pumps combine the latest in hydraulicdesign with almost a century of application experience to

meet today’s industrial and municipal requirements.

The Fire Pumps offer longer life, higher efficiencies, lessdowntime and lower maintenance costs. Heavy fabricated-steel bases, are available to mount the pump and driver.Flexible shaft coupling connects driver to pump.

The VTP (Vertical Fire Pumps) are normally designed to operain wells, sumps or offshore. The bowl assembly consisprimarily of a suction bowl & suction bell, one or more bowand a discharge head. The number of stages (bowls) requiris determined by the head requirements of the installatioThe pump bowl assembly is positioned in the sump or well a depth to provide the proper submergence. A pump shacommon to all moving parts in the bowl assembly, providmechanical linkage to the pump driver unit.

Ruhrpumpen also offers complete Pre-Packaged Fire PumSystems, which can vary from a pump with driver arrangemeon a skid, to a fully prefabricated unit with environmenenclosures.

• Pump shall furnish not less than 150% of rated capacity at not less than 65% of total rated head.

• Shutoff head will range from a minimum of 101 percent to a maximum of 140 percent of rated head.

• As per NFPA-20 we can offer ranges over 5,000 gpm, these cases are subject to individual review by the authority hav jurisdiction or a listing laboratory.

• As required by NFPA-20, each pump is tested at our factory to provide detailed performance data and to demonstrate compliance with the required specifications.

• In compliance with NFPA-20, hydrostatic tests are performed on the pump for a period of not less than 5 minutes. In the casevertical turbine pumps, both the discharge head and the bowl assembly are tested.

• The use of a Diesel Engine requires the proper environmental temperature (minimum 4.5°C / 40°F), to ensure correct operatiof the Fire System. A Pump House may be required in order to meet these specific conditions, please contact the factory for moinformation.
