2. Booster pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

   Multi-story buildings equipped with fire sprinkler systems may require a large booster pump to deliver sufficient water pressure and volume to upper floors in the event of a fire. Such pumps are often powered by a diesel engine dedicated to this purpose. The engine needs a fuel tank and an automatic controller that will start the booster pump ...

3. Boiler feedwater pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater_pump

   Feedwater pumps range in size up to many kilowatts and the electric motor is usually separated from the pump body by some form of mechanical coupling. Large industrial condensate pumps may also serve as the feedwater pump. In either case, to force the water into the boiler, the pump must generate sufficient pressure to overcome the steam ...

4. Dry running protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_running_protection

   Dry running protection, also known as dry-run protection or dry-running protection, is a type of protection mechanism to prevent a rotor, pump or stirrer shaft from operating without any medium added, as the bearing and shaft seal might be damaged if the motor is run while dry. [1]

5. Pumping station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

   Redundancy is built into the system so that in the event that any one pump is out of service, the remaining pump or pumps will handle the designed flow. The storage volume of the wet well between the "pump on" and "pump off" settings is designed to minimize pump starts and stops, but is not so long a retention time as to allow the sewage in the ...

   A minimum flow protection system ensures that the pump is not operated below the minimum flow rate. The system protects the pump even if it is shut-in or dead-headed, that is, if the discharge line is completely closed. [44] The simplest minimum flow system is a pipe running from the pump discharge line back to the suction line.
