Ameriflo UL Listed Tier 3 Diesel Engine Approval

After two years of intensive product development and an extremely stringent testing schedule, Ameriflo is proud to announce it’s Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Listing of the first two (2) models in the 9050 Diesel Engine program that fully meets Tier 3 emission testing.  ThisUL Listing covers the first two (2) Ameriflo Diesel engines from 105 through 154 horsepower.  Speeds range from 2200 RPM down through 1460 RPM.  An additional six (6) Diesel engines are going through final UL testing to have a total of eight (8) Diesel engines with UL Listings.  Factory Mutual (FM) Approvals will continue after UL testing is completed.

The Ameriflo Diesel engine is the most diverse and efficient Diesel engine product line available today from North America.  Ameriflo is the only North American Fire Pump manufacturer to have an in house Diesel engine program positioning itself to be the dominant Diesel engine Fire Pump manufacturer.  The Diesel engine group has spent considerable time developing blocks with a horsepower range that is simply not available from the competition.  Ameriflo already has nearly 60 Tier 0 Diesel engines that are UL Listed and the FM Approved adds to the heritage of this product line.  All Diesel engines are turbocharged and feature a complex, charged air coolers boosting horsepower and overall performance.

Ameriflo Diesel engines have features that the other Diesel engine manufactures simply do not have.  The Diesel engine cradle is a unique and specifiable feature by virtually eliminating Diesel engine vibration that was historically transferred to the pump and system piping.  The Diesel engine cradle also houses the emergency contractors, complete cooling loop and the Diesel engine pre-heater assembly.  The Ameriflo Vibration Isolation Cradle (VIC) has integral engine mounts that completely isolate the Diesel engine vibration from being transferred to the pump base assembly and the complete accessory package.  No other Diesel engine manufacturer offers this type of technology.  This VIC greatly reduces oscillations found from other Diesel engine manufacturers and allows all Ameriflo pump assemblies to operate vibration free.

The Ameritouch digital engine controller has no “old school” gauges present.  The end user is presented with a fully digital, full color touch screen interface that is state of the art!  All Diesel engine parameters can be monitored from this digital interface making startup and run tests very easy.  This is yet another example of how Ameriflo is leveraging technology to be the leader in the fire protection market.

Another very critical area of importance for Ameriflo is the overall look of the Diesel engine when ready to ship to the customer.  Other manufactures simply “dump” paint on the entire engine in a monolithic paint scheme that looks extremely sloppy and very unprofessional.  Ameriflo takes considerable time and effort making sure that overspray is not present on the Diesel engine platform.  The stainless steel components are allowed to shine and the fuel and oil hoses are clean and paint free.  The cooling loop is also clean and free of paint allowing for a more professional Diesel engine package.  These small details are what separates Ameriflo from the rest of the field.

As always, thank you for your interest in Ameriflo and we welcome you to The Future of Fire Protection (and Diesel engine leader!!).
