The selection of a fire pump should be based on the technological process and water supply and drainage requirements of the application project, considering five aspects: liquid delivery capacity, pump head, liquid properties, piping layout, and operating conditions.
Pumps used in fire protection systems can be categorized as follows: fire sprinkler pumps, fire hydrant pumps, fire pressure stabilizing pumps, and fire booster pumps, depending on the specific application.
Pumps used in fire protection systems are largely similar, differing only in head and flow rate.
Fire pumps are mainly divided into vertical and horizontal types. The flow rate of the liquid being delivered is one of the most important performance parameters for fire pump selection, as it directly affects the overall production capacity of the system.
