Hydraulic duty
Provide the required flow, total head, water source, suction conditions and operating points. Review the selected pump and engine together.
Pump families
Fire & Engine-Driven Pump Sets
Define the pump package around the actual duty.
Compare two diesel firewater arrangements with a general diesel engine pump set for water transfer. The supplied brochure establishes these product directions; hydraulic performance, project compliance and equipment scope require a model-specific proposal.

Compare configurations
A diesel-driven water-transfer set does not, by itself, establish compliance with a fire-system standard.

selection
Selection & installation
Fire-system requirements
For firewater projects, identify the applicable standard, main and standby duties, acceptance documents and any required certificates.
Engine & controls
Confirm starting method, fuel and cooling, control sequence, alarms, ventilation, exhaust and available maintenance space.
Package interfaces
Share foundation and pipe layouts, site utilities, control interfaces, installation restrictions and the requested equipment schedule.
materials
Materials & sealing
Pump hydraulic end
Confirm casing and impeller materials against the selected pump, water quality and project specification.
Shaft sealing
Request the selected seal arrangement, seal-water requirements and maintenance access.
Engine & transmission
Check engine output, operating speed, cooling and coupling or transmission for the complete duty.
Package protection
Define guards, alarms, starting, monitoring and any project-specific protection in the equipment schedule.
applications
Application directions
Firewater supply
Review FQS or FQW arrangements against the project firewater duty, system design and acceptance requirements.
Pressure maintenance
The FQW brochure arrangement includes a jockey pump; define its separate pressure-maintenance duty and controls.
Engine-driven transfer
For irrigation, remote sites or emergency water transfer, compare the diesel engine pump set with the actual liquid and operating cycle.
manufacturing
Manufacturing & inspection
Components
Confirm pump materials, hydraulic end and sealing against the selected model and water quality.
Assembly
Agree pump, driver, transmission, base, piping and auxiliaries in the package drawing.
Testing
Request the applicable performance and inspection basis for the quoted configuration.
Records
Identify manuals, drawings, test records and any project-specific acceptance documents before ordering.
supply scope
Define the supply scope
Pump & driver
Specify the pump, diesel engine and coupling or transmission with the required duty.
Controls & auxiliaries
Confirm controller, starting equipment, fuel system, cooling and any jockey pump separately.
Installation items
List base, piping, valves, instruments, guards and site interfaces in the equipment schedule.

Industrial pump brochure
See page 24 for FQS and FQW, and page 37 for diesel pump-set matching. These are arrangement references rather than certified model performance data.

Pump-set questions
Does the brochure establish fire-system compliance?
No. Confirm the applicable project standard, specified equipment, certification requirements and acceptance documents for the selected package.
Is every diesel pump set a fire pump?
No. A general engine-driven water-transfer set and a firewater package have different system requirements and controls.
Which package includes a jockey pump?
The FQW brochure reference shows a jockey pump. Its duty and inclusion in a quotation still require confirmation.
enquiry
Discuss your pump duty
Send the hydraulic duty and system requirements so the team can confirm the suitable product, driver and package scope.
- Flow, total head and water-source details
- Fire standard or general water-transfer application
- Main, standby and jockey-pump requirements
- Engine, controls and installation layout
- Required tests, records and certificates
Prepare a project enquiry
Include the duty point, site conditions, equipment schedule and acceptance requirements. We will use these to review the appropriate arrangement.
