The successful and well-tried fire-fighting centrifugal pumps FPH 16/8 and FP 24/8 will be installed as rear-mounted pumps on fire-fighting vehicles and on triple combination pumpers. The fire-fighting centrifugal pumps have a 2-stage design and work in very low rpm ranges. They are powered via a multi-stage prop shaft of the vehicle’s power take-off. The water can be pumped either from open water sources or from the vehicle’s water tank.
| FPH 16/8 | FPH 24/8 | |
| Nominal pressure [bar] | 8 | 8 |
| Nominal capacity [l/min] | 1600 | 2400 |
| Nominal speed [1/min] | 2600 | 2800 |
| Power take-off performance min. [kW] | 50 | 70 |
| Power take-off torque [Nm] | 160 | 220 |
| geod. suction lift [m] | 3 | 3 |
| presssure outlets | DN 100 (4") | DN 100 (4") |
| suction inlet | 2 x DN 65 (2½") | 4 x DN 65 (2½") |
The suction inlet and the tank suction pipe are connected with the rear-mounted pump by means of a multiple-way spherical valve. The two pressure manifolds are flanged to the pump housing and equipped with one or two pressure outlets with shut-off valves. The pump shaft runs in a friction bearing located in the pump lid, the other end is fixed in a double-groove angular ball bearing located in the pump housing.
