The fluid transportation conditions in marine engine rooms are complex, covering multiple scenarios such as engine cooling, bilge sewage discharge, ballasting and fire protection, which impose stringent performance requirements on pump equipment. The newly launched domestically-manufactured marine engine room pump is applicable not only to marine engine rooms, but also to working conditions including offshore platform fire protection, water treatment and cooling systems. The product comes as standard with a marine IEC motor and supports customized configurations, with a wide selection of mechanical seals available. Equipped with an optimized hydraulic model, the full product range complies with the energy efficiency standard GB 19762-2025. Its structure meets the stress specification CB/T 3459-2015 for marine vertical centrifugal pumps. A variety of materials can be selected, including bronze, stainless steel and duplex stainless steel.
Performance Parameters: 50 Hz: Max. flow approx. 700 m³/h, head approx. 96 m 60 Hz: Max. flow approx. 850 m³/h, head approx. 139 m
