To select the right Caprari pump, three factors must be identified: (1) the fluid and suction source, (2) the required flow rate (m³/h) and head (m), (3) the applicable standards (TCVN/EN/UL). From there, map to the appropriate pump series using the matrix below.
3 Core Questions Before Selecting
- Fluid & suction source: Clean water or wastewater? Suction from a tank, borehole, or river? Water table depth?
- Operating point: Required flow rate (m³/h) and head (m) — has pipeline loss been factored in?
- Standards: Does it involve fire fighting? What certifications are required (TCVN, EN12259, UL/FM)? Drinking water or technical water?
Matrix: Project Type to Pump Series
| Project Type | Primary Series | Companion Series |
|---|---|---|
| Building fire fighting (underground tank) | NCH / NC.E | CVX (jockey) + MEC (diesel) |
| Fire fighting from deep well | P Series | CVX (jockey) |
| Municipal water supply / river | P + SCC | NC (booster) |
| Building domestic water supply | CVX / HV | NC |
| Groundwater borehole | E Series | — |
| Agricultural irrigation | P + MEC | NC |
| Drainage / wastewater treatment | K+ / KCA | — |
| RO / high-pressure boosting | PM | P/E (intake) + NC (post-filtration) |
Mandatory Technical Notes
- NPSHa: surface-mounted pumps (NC) can draw from a maximum depth of ~7–8 m; deeper sources → switch to P-series.
- High-rise: H > 80 m requires NCH (high head).
- Fire fighting: always include CVX (jockey pump) + confirm EN12259-12 compliance; one diesel backup pump (MEC) required per TCVN.
- Wastewater: use K+ — do not use NC/P.
- P-series turbine pump: account for column pipe head loss (5–15 m) and power derating at elevated ambient temperatures.
Sample Scenarios
- *20-storey residential building, fire fighting, Q=36 l/s, H=85 m, underground tank:* NCH (electric) + MEC (diesel) + CVX (jockey).
- *Water treatment plant, river intake, Q=700 m³/h, elevated bank:* P-series (motor at ground level, space-saving).

FAQ (schema)
Which pump series for building fire fighting? Underground tank: NCH (electric) + MEC (diesel) + CVX (jockey). Deep well: P-series + CVX. What pump to use for water supply from a river? P-series (vertical turbine pump) installed vertically, motor at ground level; or SCC if site area is available.
