A multistage centrifugal fire pump is defined as having two or more impellers on one shaft as a single unit. A multistage centrifugal pump is a type of centrifugal pump that uses multiple impellers to increase the pressure and flow of water.Each impeller acts like a single-stage pump within a chain of pumps, and the water passes through each impeller in series, gaining pressure and velocity at each stage1.A multistage centrifugal fire pump is used to provide high-pressure water for fire protection systems, especially in high-rise buildings or large industrial facilities2.A multistage centrifugal fire pump can be driven by an electric motor, a diesel engine, or a steam turbine3.References:
