A pump used to boost the liquid propellant to the pressure required by the propellant filler, usually 2070 to 8280 kPa (300 to 1200 psi). Tank farm transfer pumps normally supply the suction side of the propellant charging pump at pressures of 100 to 690 kPa (15 to 100 psi) above the propellant’s vapor pressure.
Industry:Fire safety
A pump that is characterized by a method of producing flow by capturing a specific volume of fluid per pump revolution and reducing the fluid void by a mechanical means to displace the pumping fluid.
Industry:Fire safety
A pump supplying water at the flow and pressure required by water-based fire protection systems.
Industry:Fire safety
A pump in which the pressure is developed principally by the action of centrifugal force.
