The marine vertical multistage centrifugal pump is engineered for high pressure and high flow requirements in shipboard systems such as boiler water supply, fire-fighting, cooling, drainage, and more. Its multi-stage design and vertical structure make it exceptionally efficient and space-saving for marine environments.
Working Principle
- Relies on centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the impeller to draw water in and accelerate it out of the pump inlet.
- Multi-stage design: water passes through multiple impellers, allowing stepwise acceleration and pressurization, ultimately achieving high head and high water pressure.
- Especially suitable for boiler water supply, fire-fighting, and cooling systems.
Technical Parameters
- Pump flow rate: 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 m³/h (varies by model)
- Range of stages: 2 to 14 (see chart below for specific values)
- Range of heads: 18 to 352.8 meters (see chart below for specific values)
- Main materials: Cast iron or stainless steel for superior seawater corrosion resistance
- Impeller: Stainless steel stamping process for smooth flow and high efficiency
- Seal: Wear-resistant mechanical seal for long-term, leak-free operation
Main Features
- Vertical structure: Saves space, adapts to narrow ship environments, flexible installation, small footprint.
- Multi-stage design: Multiple impellers increase head and pressure for demanding applications.
- Energy efficient: Optimized impeller and pump body design improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
- Reliable: Stable operation under high temperature, high humidity, wind, and wave conditions.
- Smooth running & low noise: Ensures quiet operation and minimal vibration.
- Easy installation and maintenance: Compact design facilitates installation and upkeep.
- Durable: Corrosion-resistant materials extend pump life in seawater environments.
Main Application Areas

- Ship fire-fighting system: Provides high pressure water for emergency fire fighting and rescue.
- Ship drainage system: Rapid removal of water accumulation for safety and stability.
- Ship cooling system: Equipment and engine cooling to prevent overheating.
- Boiler feed pump: Delivers water to boilers under high head and pressure conditions.
- Marine circulating water system: Supplies cooling water to engines and equipment, often using seawater.
- Ship’s domestic water system: Drinking, bathing, and sanitation water for crew, maintaining hygiene standards.
- Ballast water treatment system: Treats ballast water for environmental compliance.
- Bilge water removal: Removes accumulated bilge water for ship safety.
Selection Points
- Head and flow requirements: Choose the appropriate head and flow to match ship requirements and ensure efficient operation.
- Material selection: Use corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or cast iron for long-term durability in seawater.
- Pump maintenance and repair: Opt for designs that are easy to maintain, reducing operational complexity, minimizing failures, and extending equipment life.
