Operating with a 22 kW motor rating, the NB 40-250/255 end-suction centrifugal pump features end-suction axial inlet (DN 65) and top radial outlet (DN 40) connections. The pump is specified for district heating, commercial air conditioning loops, and industrial water distribution.
The pump's hydraulic assembly yields 1092 L/Min rated flow volume and a maximum operational head of 78.54 m. Structural strength relies on an EN-GJL-250 cast iron casing with cataphoresis coating. Internal hydraulics feature a stainless steel impeller and BQQE shaft seal. Physical product weight equals 218 kg.
The NB 40-250/255 pump's 415 V three-phase drive motor delivers 22 kW power output while drawing 40.8 Amps operating current. The pump accommodates circulating fluid temperatures from -25°C to 120°C under working pressures up to 16 bar. Standardized DN 65 suction and DN 40 discharge ports facilitate line placement.
An IP55 enclosure rating protects motor components on the NB 40-250/255 unit, backed by Class F insulation and built-in PTC thermistor sensors. Scheduled maintenance routines utilize back-pull-out access, enabling motor drive and impeller removal while leaving volute casing flange joints intact.
Features
- 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.
- Optimised impeller and volute hydraulics deliver unimpeded liquid flow through the pump casing, reducing internal turbulence losses.
