Vertical Turbine Fire Pump

A Vertical Turbine Fire Pump is a specialized fire pump designed to draw water from deep sources such as wells, underground tanks, or reservoirs. Unlike horizontal pumps, vertical turbine pumps are designed with their impellers submerged below the water surface. This makes them ideal for applications where the water source is located below the suction inlet of a pump. They consist of three major parts: Pump Bowl Assembly: Located at the bottom and submerged in the water, this section includes the impellers and diffusers. Column Pipe: A vertical shaft that connects the pump bowl to the motor. Discharge Head and Motor: Located above the ground, where the water is discharged into the fire protection system. Motors can be either electric or diesel-driven.
