What is a Horizontal Split-Case Fire Pump
A horizontal split-case fire pump is a type of centrifugal pump designed for fire protection systems. The “split-case” refers to how the pump casing is split into two halves horizontally (along the plane of the shaft). The impeller (or impellers, if double suction) and shaft are between the two halves, so you can open the top or bottom half for maintenance without disturbing the piping or driver (motor/diesel engine). Some technical attributes: Usually single‐stage (sometimes double) with double‐suction impeller designs. This helps balance axial thrust and provides higher flow capacity. Very good for high flow , medium to high pressure systems. Compliant with fire protection standards: UL, FM, NFPA-20 etc. These standards ensure reliability, performance, safety under emergency conditions. firecps.com Uses / Applications in Industry Horizontal split-case fire pumps are used where large volume and reliable fire water supply is vital. ...
