Product Overview
Operating with a 30 kW motor rating, the NB 80-160/177 end-suction centrifugal pump features end-suction axial inlet (DN 100) and top radial outlet (DN 80) connections. The pump is specified for district heating, commercial air conditioning loops, and industrial water distribution.
The pump's hydraulic assembly yields 3562 L/Min rated flow volume and a maximum operational head of 32.93 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 276 kg.
The NB 80-160/177 pump's 415 V three-phase drive motor delivers 30 kW power output while drawing 56.0 Amps operating current. The pump accommodates circulating fluid temperatures from -25°C to 120°C under working pressures up to 16 bar. Standardized DN 100 suction and DN 80 discharge ports facilitate line placement.
An IP55 enclosure rating protects motor components on the NB 80-160/177 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
- 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.
- All stainless steel shaft construction provides improved corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives in wetted service areas.
- Mechanical shaft seal can be replaced without removing the impeller, system piping, pump volute casing or drive motor from the installation.
- Housing, impeller and wear ring use dissimilar material pairings to prevent galling and ensure no sticking elements during extended standby periods.
- High-efficiency motor selection is configured to match the specific power supply characteristics, pumping environment and liquid properties of each installation.
- Back pull-out design allows complete rotating assembly removal including motor, coupling and impeller without disturbing pump housing or connected pipework.
