Product Overview
Driven by a 15 kW electric motor, the NB 80-160/151 end-suction centrifugal pump features an axial suction port (DN 100) and a radial discharge port (DN 80). Specified for commercial HVAC circulation, district heating installations, and industrial process water distribution, the pump mounts securely onto floor inertia bases in mechanical plant rooms.
Hydraulic wet-end output delivers a rated flow volume of 3030 L/Min with a maximum operational head limit of 20.52 m. The EN-GJL-250 cast iron casing receives cataphoresis electrocoating to limit surface oxidation. Inside, a stainless steel impeller works alongside bronze wear rings and a BQQE shaft seal. Physical net weight measures 157 kg.
Electrical power for the NB 80-160/151 model is supplied by a 415 V three-phase electric motor rated at 15 kW output power. Nominal operating current draw measures 29.1 Amps during full load operations. Operating liquid temperatures span from -25°C to 120°C under 16 bar working pressure. Suction inlet measures DN 125 with a DN 80 discharge port.
Motor protection on the NB 80-160/151 pump complies with IP55 enclosure standards to resist dust and moisture ingress, supported by Class F thermal insulation and internal PTC thermistors. The back-pull-out casing layout allows service personnel to remove the motor drive and rotor assembly without unbolting the pump volute from system suction and discharge piping headers.
Features
- Integrally cast suction and discharge ports with dedicated vent and drain ports provide direct connection points without additional fittings.
- No baseplate or grouting required to maintain correct shaft alignment and vibration levels within Hydraulic Institute standards.
- Cataphoretic electrocoating on cast iron internal surfaces provides barrier protection against oxidative corrosion in hydronic circulation loops.
- Close-coupled configuration eliminates coupling alignment procedures and reduces overall installation footprint compared to long-coupled alternatives.
- Ball bearing support arrangement accommodates both radial and axial thrust loads generated during continuous duty operation at rated speed.
- PN16 flanged connection ratings on sizes up to and including DN 150 provide elevated working pressure capability beyond standard EN733 10 bar ratings.
- O-ring seal between pump housing and cover eliminates leakage risk at the volute-to-cover joint under sustained operating pressures.
