Redundant engine controller for fire pump drive systems

Over the last few years, the so-called NFPA20 standard has been established for fire pump drive systems in the oil and gas industry. This standard by the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires a redundant engine controller. The second engine controller must be installed on the engine, be permanently wired and, in the event of a fault on the first controller, must take over the engine control automatically without interruption of the fire pump water jet. mtu now offers its fire pump drive systems in line with this standard.
