Difference between electric fire pump and diesel fire pump

The biggest difference between a diesel fire pump and an electric water pump is that it has its own independent power supply system - the battery. Therefore, the start and operation of the diesel fire pump can be completely disconnected from the mains.
Electric Fire Pump is run by a very simple motor which can give you thousands of operating hours without any issues. They require electricity to run, and oftentimes in case of a fire, the power supply is disconnected. Of course, you could provide a generator set and a fire pump controller with a transfer switch that would divert power to the alternate source, but that becomes a bit more complicated and expensive for various reasons.
Diesel Fire Pump is self reliant to a greater degree. They too require an external power supply to charge engine’s batteries, but if the power supply is disconnected you still have enough cranking power in the batteries for a couple of days to start the engine. The diesel engine fire fighting pump has the characteristics of leading technology, high degree of automation, superior performance, complete functions, reasonable structure, simple installation and high cost performance. The diesel engine fire pump is mainly used for fire hydrant fire extinguishing, automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing and other fire fighting systems in industrial and mining enterprises, engineering construction, high-rise buildings and other fixed fire fighting systems. It can be used to transport clean water without solid particles and medium with chemical properties similar to water. It can also be used for non-electrical supply occasions such as living and production shared water supply systems and buildings, municipal water supply and drainage, terminals, and offshore platforms.
