Operating conditions Example of operating and inlet pressures

Capacity: 0.7 - 8.5 m3/h The values for operating and inlet pressures must not be
Liquid temperature: 0 °C to +70 °C considered individually but must always be compared,
see the following example:
Ambient temperature: 0 °C to +40 °C
Example:
System pressure: The maximum system
pressure is 10 bar. The following pump type has been selected:
CR 5-3 A-A-A
The total of inlet pressure and head must not exceed the
maximum system pressure. Max. operating pressure: 10 bar
Max. inlet pressure: 7 bar
Inlet pressure Discharge pressure against a closed valve: 1.4 bar.
The system is allowed to start at an inlet pressure of 7
Minimum inlet pressure - NPSH: bar as the discharge pressure is only 1.4 bar which
Calculation of the inlet pressure "H" is recommended results in an operating pressure of 7 + 1.4 = 8.4 bar.
when ....
• the liquid temperature is high
• the flow is significantly higher than the rated flow
• water is drawn from depths
• water is drawn through long pipes
• inlet conditions are poor.

starter in accordance with local regulations.
To protect the motor against overload, it must be
connected to an external thermal-magnetic motor
