How to Select a Pump Model
- Determine required rated fire flow and pressure
- Verify diesel engine power matches full-load fire duty
- Confirm pipeline diameter compatibility with inline pump flange size
- Check allowable working pressure of system pipeline
- Evaluate required autonomous operating duration for fuel capacity selection
Engineering Notes
- Inline structure simplifies piping alignment and reduces installation complexity
- Single-stage design reduces maintenance complexity compared to multistage pumps
- Diesel engine starting reliability must meet fire system emergency standards
- Proper foundation rigidity improves vibration stability
