Diesel Engine SC Pumps

Middle East Split Case Pumps

The pump featured in this short Blog includes a Diesel engine driven split case pump.  This medium sized pump produces 2500 GPM @ 135 PSI.  Ameriflo has the most efficient and expansive split case product offered in the fire protection market today.  The 5030 SC product line has many standard features and benefits that are not offered even as options by the majority of the other players.  The Diesel engine version features an Ameriflo AF6-135, 6 cylinder block generating 375 HP at 1760 RPM and has a large 1.500 inch cooling loop.

Ameriflo Diesel engines have features that the other Diesel engine manufactures simply do not offer.  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 from the Diesel engine.  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.  This is a feature that no other Diesel engine manufacturer has as a standard offering.  This VIC greatly reduces oscillations found from other Diesel engine manufacturers and allows all Ameriflo pump assemblies to operate vibration free.  Other models feature charged air cooled intake and water to oil heat exchangers to maximize Diesel engine performance.

The Ameritouch digital engine controller has no “old school” gauges present.  The end user is presented with a fully digital, 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.

Diesel Engine Vertical Turbine Bases

Elevated Bases

One of the most unique features of Ameriflo’s Diesel engine driven vertical turbine product line are the foundation bases.  Every other vertical turbine manufacturer supplies a base for the discharge head only and has a separate base for the Diesel engine.  The vertical offset between the Diesel engine and the pump is typically addressed at the job site by the contractor pouring the foundation.  If ANY issue comes up during installation about the driveshaft not lining up with the right angle gear drive the finger pointing games kick off!!  In the Ameriflo design, the foundation is flat, exactly the same when installing an end suction or split case.  This vertical riser design is a game changer making Diesel engine vertical turbine installation a breeze.

As in the case of all Ameriflo fabricated bases, the vertical turbine base has engineered features not found elsewhere in the industry.  There are jackscrew alignment bolts at four points around the discharge head to help with proper driveshaft alignment.  The base has leveling jackscrews installed along both long sides of the base making leveling very quick and easy without the need to add shims at the job site.  The heavy wall thickness of the material used in the base has an extremely high torsional rigidity.  The box beam design also allows for easy access to all voids making grouting very easy as compared to other manufacturers that use a light duty, bent channel base design with several holes cut out allowing limited access to all cavities within the base.

Iraq Oil & Gas Project

Oil Refinery Fire Protection

Ameriflo recently completed a pair of skid packaged pumps for an oil refinery located in the country of Iraq.  These units were engineered with several non-standard options and feature a heavy duty Ameriflo Diesel engine.  This type of project highlights the ability of Ameriflo to offer special metallurgy and unique options to meet customer requirements.  Refineries are perhaps the most aggressive fire protection application due to the quantity and volatility of extremely flammable products present at the job-site.  The ability to supply electric and Diesel engine packages with the majority of components manufactured internally allows Ameriflo a huge advantage as compared to the competition.

Paint & Coatings

Paint & Coatings

Every product manufactured by Ameriflo is carefully primed and finish coated to the highest industry standards.  All parts and castings are thoroughly cleaned with solvent to remove any oil, grease or other surface contaminants so that the primer and/or finish coats will properly adhere to any coated part.  Ameriflo has a standard paint (RAL 3020) that is used on every product manufactured in house and also offers a variety of other optional coating that can be specified at time of order.

Ameriflo RAL 3020 is the standard enamel red that Ameriflo has been recognized for.  This color is very bright in nature and is finished in a high gloss to emphasize the quality of the Ameriflo products.  This standard paint is applied to all pumps, base assemblies and all Diesel engines.  The distinctive high gloss is not typically used by other manufacturers as it can highlight casting flaws and inconsistences.  The Ameriflo pump product line utilized metal patterns which produce a casting of extreme smoothness allowing the RAL 3020 high gloss finish a place to shine.

Ameriflo also does not spray the entire Diesel engine assembly with paint as other manufacturers do.  RAL 3020 paint is selectively sprayed on individual components and not on others allowing the higher quality craftsmanship to show through.
