Vertical Pump
Deep well turbine pumps are highly suitable for lifting liquids from deep borehole and wetwells particularly where efficiency of operation, and reliability are required.Typical uses include general industry, agriculture & irrigation, municipal water supplies fire fighting, petrochemical and marine applications.
The pump test bed has been designed with the assistance of the Hydraulics Department of the University of Valencia (one of the foremost technical universities in Spain). The facility has a test tank with a capacity of 266,000 litres and is capable of testing pumps with flows up to 2000 l/s and powers of 1.000 KVA. It is capable of the simultaneous testing of a wide range of pump types including vertical units, electro-submersibles, horizontal and sewage pumps etc.
In addition to the routine testing of production pumps, the test-bed is an essential tool of the R&D Department, whose role is central to the Company’s long-term strategy.
Bombas Ideal has always recognised the importance of the development of new products and the continuous improvements of the existing product range. Accreditation and implementation of ISO 9000 is an essential tool in the Company’s constant search for quality and innovation.

Fire Fighting Packages
General
The pumping equipment described in this catalogue is designed to provide a pressurized supply of water for Fire Fighting systems.
As a fire-extinguishing agent, water acts by cooling the source of combustion, and can be applied by various methods to ob tain the greatest degree of heat removal. Systems such as sprinklers, water curtains, hydration columns, fire hydrants, etc. all require a water supply permanently available from a pressurized network.
In the event of a fire, either the opening of a fire hydrant or the automatic initiation of a fixed sprinklers installation usually initiates the demand for water. The sudden fall in pressure in the fire system rising main causes the main pumps to automatically start and provide the required flow of water to the points of application. Most systems have a small, electrically driven auxiliary or jockey pump, which automatically maintains the pressurization of the fire fighting system and compensates for small leakages inthe system. The auxiliary or jockey pump operates automatically under pressure switch control.
The types of pump used for this application are mainly:
- Horizontal end suction pump with a radial discharge.
- Horizontal axially split case pumps.
- Vertical, wet well pumps-shaft driven with conventional motors.
Principal components :
– Electrically driven main pump
– Diesel engine driven main pump
– Auxiliary jockey pump
– Accumulator vessel (membrane type)
– Check valves
– Handwheel operated isolating valves
– Set of pressure switches and gauges
– Pressure-limiting valve
– “Pump” ruining’ safety pressure switch
– Electric motor
– Diesel Engine
– Discharge manifold
– Electric starting and control panels
– Test manifold and flow meter (optional).
FOC-UNE Standard Equipment
The design of the Type RN pump casing
used for the FOC and FOC–UNE equipment
is such that an air release device is
Unnecessary.
Main componets of the FOC – UNE equipment :
– Electrically driven main pump
– Diesel Engine driven main pump
– Auxiliary jockey pump
– Accumulator vessel (membrane type)
– Check valves
– Handwheel operated isolating valves
– Set of pressure switches and gauges
– Pressure-limiting valve
– Electric motor
– Diesel Engine
– Discharge manifold

– Test manifold and flow meter (optional)
Diesel engines
Operating as a stationary system, the engine’s
rated power at its design operating speed is
determined in accordance with DIN 6271.
The engine is supplied with the following items:
– Gravity Fuel Tank.
– Double set of batteries for manual and automatic starting.
– Standard Exhaust Silencer.
– Engine Cooling System (this can be closed circuit air or water cooled by means of either radiator or separate heat exchanger).
– Magnetic speed detector.
