Relevant Ruhrpumpen´s Fire Projects from October 2024
The VTP pump line is specifically designed for operation in wells or sumps. Its bowl assembly features a suction case or bell, one or more pump bowls, and a discharge case. This assembly is positioned at an appropriate depth in the sump or well to ensure proper submergence. These vertical turbine pumps, available in both single and multi-stage configurations, are ideal for firefighting applications. They are UL listed and FM approved for suction lift conditions and can be powered by either diesel or electric drive.
The vertical turbine portrayed above is a Ruhrpumpen VTP model size 20C-600, with a rated flow of 3,500 gpm, equipped with a noise enclosure to provide noise attenuation to the engine as well as protection from the environment.
Applications: Commercial, municipal and residential high-rise buildings, Large industrial premises and storage warehouses, Offshore and remote facilities, Airports, Power stations.
