Diesel fire pumps provide fire sprinklers throughout a facility with adequate water supply during a fire. A fire pump can be driven by an electric motor, diesel engine. While electric motors are most common, diesel engines are often used when the electrical supply to the property is unreliable or has insufficient capacity.
Diesel fire fighting pumps are ideal for applications when there's already a separate pump house or the pump room is located on an exterior wall. Some facilities that use diesel fire pumps include warehouses, aircraft hangars, and industrial facilities. Since their footprint is larger than an electric fire pump, they are not suitable for facilities with minimum space.
Diesel fire water pumps are more expensive to install because they require additional items such as fuel storage tanks and exhaust vents. However, diesel fire pumps require regular battery, oil level, cooling system, hoses and engine checks in addition to weekly run tests. Overall, diesel fire pumps cost more because they are serviced more frequently and require more items to maintain.
