Fire pumps generally refer to pressurized elements that supply water to fixed fire suppression systems such as sprinklers, risers, foam systems, etc. Fire pumps are also key components integrated into fire trucks and fire boats, and serve a similar purpose, augmenting the water supply for fire hose

A variable speed (VFD) fire pump controller is a fire pump controller that is capable of maintaining a constant discharge pressure by varying the speed of the motor according to the demand of the fire pump. It differs from other industrial variable speed control equipment in that it is now considere

Godiva Fire Pumps is an offshoot of Coventry Climax directed by Charles Pelham Lee, son of Leonard Pelham Lee.productThe fire pump was developed by Coventry Climax in the late 1930s, referred to as the Coventry Climax fire pump. The name Godiva appeared in 1940 and may have originated from a steam p

A circulator or circulation pump is a special type of pump used to circulate gases, liquids or slurries in a closed circuit. They are commonly found in circulating water in hydronic heating or cooling systems. Because they only circulate the fluid in a closed loop, they only need to overcome the fri

A slurry pump is a pump designed to pump liquids that contain solid particles. Slurry pumps vary in design and construction to accommodate many types of slurries that vary in solids concentration, solid particle size, solid particle shape, and solution composition. Slurry pumps are stronger than liq

Technological advancements within the industry allow for incorporating timers to limit the operations during specific hours of the day to reduce energy waste by only operating when occupants are likely to use hot water. Additional advancements in technology include pumps which cycle on and off to ma

Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by converting rotational kinetic energy into hydrokinetic energy of fluid flow. The rotational energy usually comes from an engine or electric motor. They are a subclass of dynamic axisymmetric power-absorbing turbines. [1] Fluid enters the pump impelle

coupled pumpsMagnetically coupled or magnetic drive pumps differ from traditional pumping methods because the motor is magnetically coupled to the pump rather than through a direct mechanical shaft. The pump works by driving magnets that "drive" the pump rotor, which is magnetically coupled to a mai

Centrifugal compressors, sometimes called vane compressors or radial compressors, are a subclass of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbines. [1]They achieve pressure rise by adding energy to the continuous fluid flow through the rotor/impeller. The equations in the next section show this specif

Oil wells are holes drilled in the earth to bring petroleum hydrocarbons to the surface. Often some natural gas is released with the oil as associated petroleum gas. A well designed to produce only natural gas may be referred to as a gas well. Wells are created by drilling down into oil or gas reser
