Navigating complex fluid transfer requirements within industrial environments requires a pump capable of resisting chemical degradation while maintaining structural integrity under stress. The Lowara 5HM15N22M utilizes a fully welded AISI 316 stainless steel architecture to ensure longevity when dealing with aggressive or high-purity liquids. Its configuration is specifically suited for high-pressure process circuits, cooling water systems, and general industrial supply loops where consistent, reliable operation is a mandatory requirement for system uptime.
Operational parameters for this unit are clearly defined by a Max Head 108 m and a Max Flow 142 L/Min, providing substantial head pressure for demanding multistage applications. The unit is powered by a 2.47 kW motor designed to run at approximately 2900 rpm, ensuring stable fluid delivery even against high backpressure scenarios. Such performance metrics make it an ideal choice for systems requiring precise flow rates in both horizontal and vertical installations.
Fluid dynamics are governed by a multistage arrangement that optimizes velocity and pressure distribution through the internal channels. This specific model features high-grade AISI 316 stainless steel components throughout the liquid end, including the housing and internal stages, which eliminates common points of failure found in lower-specification pumps. The mechanical seal design further enhances reliability by offering high resistance to abrasive wear, ensuring the internal hydraulic path remains protected under continuous load.
Motor protection is provided through a TEFC (Total Enclosed Fan Cooled) design, rated IP55 for resistance against external dust and water ingress. The pump utilizes a single-phase 220-240V power connection and is built to operate efficiently within a broad ambient temperature range of -15°C to +40°C. Installation is simplified via standard 32 mm inlet and 25 mm outlet connections, while the overall build weight of 28 kg reflects the heavy-duty nature of its stainless steel construction.
Features:
- Integrated 2-pole TEFC motor designed for continuous duty operation
- AISI 316 stainless steel hydraulic components for chemical compatibility
- Compatible with standard 32 mm suction and 25 mm discharge plumbing
- Mechanical seal surfaces utilize silicon carbide for long-term wear resistance
- Conforms to ISO 9906:2012 hydraulic performance and efficiency standards
- Short-circuit squirrel-cage rotor setup for stable electrical startup cycles
