Fluid movement across demanding cooling circuits and process lines relies on the resilience of the Lowara 3HM16N15M. By utilizing AISI 316 stainless steel throughout its hydraulic assembly, this pump provides a stable solution for handling clean, non-aggressive fluids within industrial infrastructure. The design excels in scenarios requiring consistent flow where chemical compatibility and material longevity are essential for uninterrupted operations.
Operational threshold limits for this unit are defined by a Max Head approximately 116 m alongside a Max Flow 73.3 L/Min. Electrical intake is governed by a 1.77 kW motor drawing 7.81 Amps, ensuring it remains within parameters for efficient single-phase supply environments. These output values ensure that systemic pressure requirements are met while maintaining steady throughput across vertical and horizontal configurations.
Hydraulic dynamics are managed by a multistage stainless steel configuration which promotes stable internal pressure distribution. This arrangement allows the pump to generate required heads without excessive cavitation, preserving internal components during high-demand duty cycles. The fluid path is engineered to minimize turbulence, facilitating predictable performance curves across varying load conditions commonly found in closed-loop thermal management systems.
Protection is provided by a TEFC motor housing certified to IP 55, while the pump assembly reaches IP X5 standards for secure environmental isolation. The unit includes AISI 316L stainless steel components that resist corrosion, supported by a 25 mm inlet and 25 mm outlet connection. This close-coupled assembly is designed for static mounting, ensuring alignment remains fixed during sustained operation in both indoor and semi-protected industrial settings.
Features:
- Silicon carbide mechanical seal surfaces for long-term wear resistance
- Total Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) motor architecture for thermal stability
- Compliant with ISO 9906 Grade 3B hydraulic standards
- EPDM elastomer sealing components ensuring chemical resilience
- Asynchronous squirrel-cage motor design for consistent rotational speed
- Standardized Rp 1 threaded port connections for simple plumbing integration
