Marine Emergency Fire Pump

Overview

The emergency fire pump is a critical component of marine safety systems, operating independently from main fire systems. Driven by a diesel engine or dedicated motor, it ensures continuous water supply during main pump failure or power loss. Compliant with SOLAS Ch.II-2 and FSS Code, it features rapid activation, extreme reliability, and harsh environment resistance, serving as the last line of defense against onboard fires.

Key Features

Independent Power:Diesel-driven (no external power), achieves full pressure within 30 seconds.

Self-priming lift ≥7m for low-level sea chests.

Harsh Environment Resilience:Salt spray-resistant (stainless steel + epoxy coating).

Operating temperature: -25°C~55°C (Arctic/tropical compatible).

Applications

Engine Room Fires: Supplies water to sprinklers during main pump failure.

Deck Fires: Rapidly establishes fire curtains via emergency hydrants.

Cargo Hold Leaks: Integrates with foam systems to suppress flammable vapors.

Blackout Emergencies: Diesel-powered, independent of ship’s grid.

Arrangement of Ships' emergency Fire Pumps.

Cargo ships of over 2,000 gross tonnage are to be fitted with independently driven emergency fire pumps, usually located in the steering gear room. In passenger ships of more than 1,000 gross tonnage, emergency fire pumps shall be provided if a fire in any compartment may render all fire pumps ineffective. Common places for installing ship emergency fire pumps include: engine room (referring to the place where the main fire pump is located), steering gear room, bow room, empty space under the freeboard deck, etc.

Operating Requirements For Emergency Fire Pumps.

During the operation of the ship, the total suction head of the pump should not exceed 4.5m under the longitudinal and heeling conditions that may be encountered. The capacity of the pump should ensure that the range of the two streams of water sprayed at the same time is not less than 12 meters. The pump water volume is not less than 25m³/h. If the driving power is a diesel engine, when the temperature drops to 0 °C, it can be started by turning the crank at any time; when using other starting devices, it should be able to start 6 times within 30 minutes, within the first 10 minutes. Start at least 2 times.
