fire pump


Explanation:
It's definitely a "fire pump", per Termium:

ENGLISH

SPANISH
Subject Field(s)
  – Fire-Fighting and Rescue Equipment
  – Pumps
Subject Field(s)
  – Matériel de secours et de lutte
(incendies)

fire pump Source CORRECT

bomba contra
incendios Source CORRECT,
FEM
bomba de incendios
Source CORRECT, FEM

DEF – Water pump having
certain performance
characteristics, complete with
ancillary equipment such as
hoses, nozzles, etc.,
reserved for and available for
use to combat fire. Source

DEF – The main pump of a
fire department pumper on a
stationary power-driven water
pump used by private fire
protection services. Source

OBS – See also "booster
pump", jockey pump".

And Mantenimiento de pressión, I wonder whether it wouldn't be that "booster pump" mentioned under the article for "fire pump/bomba de incendio"? Otherwise, here is what Termium has:

ENGLISH
FRENCH
SPANISH
Subject Field(s)
  – Oil Production
 
pressure maintenance
Source CORRECT

DEF – A method for
increasing ultimate oil
recovery by injecting gas,
water, or other fluids into the
reservoir before the reservoir
pressure has dropped
appreciably, usually early in
the life of the field, to reduce
or eliminate a decline in
pressure.

As for "red de incendio", per Termium:

ENGLISH
FRENCH
SPANISH
Subject Field(s)
  – Civil Engineering
  – Fire Safety
Subject Field(s)
  – Génie civil
  – Sécurité incendie
 
fire system
CORRECT

DEF – A separate system of
water pipes or mains and
their appurtenances installed
solely to furnish water for
extinguishing fires. Source

Here is the whole sentence:

Fire system: system with sprinklers, fire hydrants, extinguishers, electric fire pump and option of Man diesel engine with Yoker pressure maintenance pump.

N.b.: I can't locate any "Yoker" brand pump, using Google.
