GQN
PDF datasheet mirror for GQN (Calpeda Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product identification
The GQN series consists of submersible sewage and drainage pumps featuring a single-impeller with two-passage channels and a vertical threaded delivery port (G 2”). They are equipped with a double mechanical shaft seal with an interposed oil chamber for protection against dry-running.
Applications:
- For domestic or industrial wastewater and dirty water containing solids up to 50 mm grain size.
- Suitable for liquids compatible with the pump materials.
- For draining rooms or emptying tanks.
- Extraction of water from ponds, streams, or pits, and for rainwater collection.
Operating limits
- Liquid temperature: Up to 35° C
- pH value: 6-11
- Maximum immersion depth: 5 m
- Minimum immersion depth: 275 mm
- Continuous duty: With submerged motor
