THE PUMP UNIT (HydroSub)

The HydroSub pump consists of a Diesel-Hydraulic Powerpack, powering a portable floating submersed pump. The uniqueness of this pump is the relative high capacity of up to 4500 ltr/min. for the standard HydroSub and even up to 22000 ltr./min. for the larger model, despite the beneficiary characteristics such as portable, floating submersed etc.

The submersible floating pump is linked to the Powerpack by 60 meter long hydraulic hoses, allowing access to any open water, either horizontal or vertical. Not like a standard fire truck or fire draft pump that has to be positioned very close to the water.

NO DRAFT PROBLEM ANYMORE
The unique feature of the HydroSub is, that it is equiped with a LOW WEIGHT PORTABLE pump, but still provides LARGE CAPACITIES.

Additionally the pump features the capability to pump salt water, chemically polluted water, mud, dirt, and operate from shallow water with no risk of pump failure due to cavitation.

The fact that the pump is especially designed for a long distance relay system, with an extreme FLAT CURVE, contributes also strongly to the success of the system.

Special provisions allow multi functional handling not only in containers but also on a trailer, helicopter, crane, forklift etc.

CAPACATIES (For instance the HydroSub 150 unit):

• 2500 ltr/min over 4000 meter,
• 4000 ltr/min over 1500 meter,
• 2500 ltr/min over 1500 meter and still supplying 8 bar at the end of the hose enabling to connect to ground monitors fighting fires directly without the use of boost pumps or fire trucks. Larger pump units, still fully mobile containerized, are now available in the HFS range up to 22000 ltr./min. Also smaller units (1000 ltr/min.) have been developed.
