11. Technical data
11.1 Enclosure class
•
Standard: IP55.
11.2 Sound pressure level
The sound pressure level of the pumps is lower than
70 dB(A).
11.3 Ambient temperature
Self-priming pumps:
Caution
The liquid temperature must not
exceed 60 °C (140 °F).
Maximum ambient
temperature
+55 °C (131 °F)
+50 °C (122 °F)
+45 °C (113 °F)
+40 °C (104 °F)
*
Note: Only the stainless-steel variant
(EN 1.4301/AISI 304) is suitable for pumping
liquids with temperatures above +90 °C (194 °F).
11.4 Maximum system pressure and permissible liquid temperature
Material variant
Cast iron
(EN-GJL-200)
Stainless steel
(EN 1.4301/AISI 304)
Stainless steel
(EN 1.4401/AISI 316)
*
At liquid temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), higher
motor outputs may be needed due to increased
viscosity, for instance if glycol has been added to
the water.
** 120 °C applies only if the pump has an AQQE
shaft seal.
*** CM pumps for pumping liquids at temperatures
below -20 °C are available on request. Please
contact Grundfos.
