When responding to urban fires, industrial fires, airport emergencies, or forest rescues, selecting the right fire truck and fire pump is crucial. The fire pump is the core component of a fire truck, determining the vehicle’s efficiency and stability during firefighting operations.

This article provides a comprehensive guide on choosing a fire pump and highlights the advantages and applications of YONGAN fire truck water pumps.

1. Identify Your Firefighting Needs — Standard Pressure or High Pressure?

• Standard Pressure Fire Pump (CB Series): High flow rates, suitable for large-area water supply, such as municipal water systems, industrial plants, airports, and petrochemical firefighting.
• High Pressure Fire Pump (CB40 Series): High pressure, ideal for high-rise building firefighting, long-distance water projection, or high-pressure fine mist operations.

YONGAN products cover both CB Series standard pressure pumps and CB40 Series high-pressure pumps, meeting a wide range of firefighting requirements.

2. Understand Model Naming to Avoid Selection Mistakes

YONGAN fire pump model naming is clear and straightforward:

• CB = Standard Pressure Pump, CB40 = High Pressure Pump
• Numbers indicate rated flow or model code

Examples:

• CB10/20: Standard pressure pump, flow 1200 L/min
• CB10/30: Standard pressure pump, flow 1800 L/min
• CB40/7: High-pressure pump, 4.0 MPa, flow 420 L/min
• CB40.10/7.50: Combination pump, standard + high pressure

Understanding the model lets you quickly determine pump performance, avoiding wrong selection.

3. Compare Performance — Flow Rate and Pressure

• CB Series standard pressure pumps: Maximum flow up to 180 L/s
• CB40/7 high-pressure pump: Pressure 4.0 MPa, flow 420 L/min

High flow and stable pressure allow rapid water supply while reducing recoil for firefighters using hoses.

4. Consider Durability and Maintenance Costs

• Material Selection: YONGAN fire truck pumps are available in lightweight alloys, bronze, or duplex stainless steel, ensuring long-term reliability even in seawater or chemical environments.
• Maintenance and Lifespan: Equipped with maintenance-free mechanical seals, reducing routine maintenance frequency and costs.

5. Choose the Right Model Based on Scenario

• Small Fire Trucks: Recommended CB10/20, CB10/30 series; flows of 1200 L/min and 1800 L/min, lightweight design saves space.
• High-Pressure Operations: Recommended CB40/7 high-pressure pump; 4.0 MPa, 420 L/min, compatible with high-pressure spray guns and reels for rapid deployment.
• Versatile Needs: Recommended CB40.10/7.50 combination pump, integrating standard and high pressure for complex operations.
• Large Industrial & Airport Fire Trucks: Recommended CB10/180, CB20/40, flow up to 180 L/s, designed for large-scale firefighting scenarios.

6. Advantages of Choosing YONGAN

• Drive Method: PTO rear-drive system, high transmission efficiency, compact structure.
• Noise Control: Spiral pump casing + rubber damping pads reduce operational noise.
• Water Hammer Resistance: Smooth performance curve minimizes water hammer impact, prolonging pump and pipeline life.
