FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS

Fire extinguishing systems are provided in an underhead or overhead configuration, along with their respective 500 l priming tanks, one for each pump.

GEI’s range of pumps comprises everything from the 32/160 to the 150/315 types. Standard material for the pump body and impeller is cast iron. However, for special applications, such as installing a fire extinguishing system in especially aggressive settings like marine environments, specific materials may be used for the pump itself, e.g. AISI 316 stainless steel or marine bronze.

Each main pump is operated by its own electrical control panel made with an IP65 metal box. For hydrant network systems, GEI includes a time switch inside the control panel, as requested by UNI 10779.

The motors we pair with the hydraulics are, in compliance with UNI EN 12845, three-phase asynchronous electric motors, standardised for general use in industrial settings and ranging from 4 Kw to 250 Kw.

The diesel motors we pair with the hydraulics range from 4 Kw to 265 Kw. They can be direct air cooled, or cooled via a radiator or water heat exchanger. The fuel tank that GEI provides with the motor is designed and sized in accordance with UNI EN 12845 so as to ensure the proper functioning of the motor at full strength for at least 6 hours.
