Darley UHP-HV Diesel Specification1
This dual pump is designed for either a powerhead type unit or a full module. The module provides a “self-contained” diesel powered “slide-in” type ultra high pressure / high volume system (UHP- HV). The system shall be designed to fit into the back of a standard length and width pick-up truck or fire service body.
The powerhead is to be installed and plumbed by OEM/installer. The powerhead provides diesel driven volume and pressure pumps. The system is designed to be mounted and finished by installer.
The UHP-HV shall be designed to discharge low pressure water (foam solution option) from one discharge, or high pressure foam solution (option) from a hose reel (option) or both simultaneously.
Engine
The power to drive the system shall be provided by a Kubota model DH 902, liquid cooled, indirect injection, naturally aspirated diesel engine. The heavy duty rating for this engine is 24.8 hp @ 3600 rpm. Automotive engines or ratings will not be used. The power unit shall have re-borable crankcase of grey cast iron.. The pressure-lubricated engine shall have a 12VDC – 40 amp alternator, glow plugs. A remote oil drain shall be supplied.
High Volume Water Pump
The low pressure water pump shall be a Darley 2BE single-stage centrifugal pump with a vertically split aluminum case. It shall have replaceable bronze impeller and seal rings on a stainless steel shaft. The pump seal shall be of a mechanical design.
High Pressure Water Pump
The high pressure water pump shall be a CAT pump 7CP6170 belt driven plunger pump. The pump shall incorporate a forged brass head with FPM and EPDM elastomers offering compatibility with a wide range of foam liquids. It shall be of rugged continuous-duty triplex design capable of pressures exceeding 1400psi.
There shall be built in pressure relief valves to protect the system from over pressure. In addition, there will be integrated thermal relief valve designed to keep the pump at safe operating temperatures. All hp pressure lines shall be rated to a minimum of 2000 psi.
Drive System
The high volume water pump is directly driven in line with the engine crankshaft. The high pressure pump is belt driven from special bell housing sprocket drive. It shall be driven via a dry 2Gates Poly-Chain® drive system. The complete drive system shall have a 2,000 hour rated service life and shall be designed and rated for the imposed speed and load.
Electrical System
All electrical equipment installed by the manufacturer shall conform to current automotive electrical system standards and the requirements of the applicable NFPA apparatus standards. The wiring shall be individually and permanently color and function coded. The installation shall meet SAE Standard J1128 in its latest edition for GXL or SXL temperature rating.
All exposed wiring shall run in loom with a minimum of 280°F (137.8°C) rating. All wiring loom shall be properly supported and attached to frame members along the entire run. At any point where wire or looms must pass through metal, rubber grommets shall be installed to protect the wire from abrasion.

Foam Tank
A 10 to 15 –gallon polypropylene foam reservoir shall be provided as an integral part of the booster tank and may contain a level sender for gauge in the bottom of the tank to signal level of the foam reservoir (option sender hole). The tank shall be plumbed to supply the foam proportioner with a minimum 1/2” hose (size varies per customer specifications).
Hose Reel
The hose reel shall be of painted steel construction with fairleads and electric rewind, installed with 200’ of 1/2” high pressure hose. The hose reel shall be shipped loose and shall have a straight swivel inlet. A variable pressure single flow discharge wand with pistol grip hand valve and straight discharge tip will be provided with the reel.
Dual Flow Nozzle Gun
An all aluminum dual flow “Dual Strike” nozzle gun shall be capable of two different flows –
1. Straight stream delivers penetrating spray with fine cooling mist 30 to 50 ft.
2. Fog stream delivers high expansion foam up to 45 ft. with expansion ratios up to 10:1 for maximum
coverage. The Fog stream shall be compatible and effective with Class A & Class B foams The Nozzle also incorporates an auto shut-off feature for firefighter safety.
Foam Concentrate Proportioner
The automatic foam proportioner shall be the CAT precision foam control system. It shall be provided and installed to inject foam concentrate into the high pressure discharge hose. The proportioner shall automatically meter the correct percentage of foam concentrate, based on current flow, into the water stream. A check valve shall be provided ahead of the foam injection point to prevent foam solution back-flow. The concentrate pump shall be an around the pump type system. The system shall be capable of flowing either type A or B fire fighting foams (flush required for both). The proportioner knob pointer shall allow injection rates to 6% capabilities.
Dual Foam Flurry Concentrate Proportioner
The Dual Foam Flurry is an “around the pump/eduction” foam injection system designed for the UHP-HV. It is capable of injecting Class A foam into the suction side of the high volume pump as well as the suction side of the ultra-high pressure pump without needs for electrical power. It will be capable of proportionally higher injection rates automatically as flow increases. When flow ceases in the discharge piping, the Dual Foam Flurry will automatically stop injection. The high volume side can inject up to .65 gallon a minute of Class A chemical under full flow. It requires a minimum discharge pressure of 80 to optimum 100 psi or above to inject. There shall be little or no pressure allowed into the suction head of the fire pump (hydrant use) when operating the Dual Foam Flurry. The high pressure side can inject up to .65 gallon a minute of Class A chemical under full flow, which is around 6% chemical percentage. The intake pressure should be between 20-35 psi into the UHP side (pre-set).
Suction Valve
The suction valve shall be a 2½” hydrant type valve mounted on the control panel suction inlet.
Water Level Gauge
One (1) electronic water level gauge shall be provided on the control panel.
Foam Level Gauge
One (1) electronic foam level gauge shall be provided on the control panel.
