PDF datasheet mirror for 231-241-271-237-247-277 (CAT Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.

Summary

Product identification

  • Product Type: Vertical-axis multi-stage centrifugal pumps (POMPES CENTRIFUGES MULTICELLULAIRES A AXE VERTICALE)
  • Models: NKV 10, NKV 15, NKV 20
  • Application: IN-LINE vertical multi-stage pumps designed for water boosting in domestic or industrial installations. Also suitable for pumping hot or cold water in large HVAC systems where a high head is required, and in fire-fighting installations (e.g., hose reels, hydrants).

Operating limits

  • Operating Range: 4 to 29 m³/h with discharge head up to 249 m
  • Liquid Temperature Range: -20°C to +90°C
  • Maximum Ambient Temperature: +40°C
  • Maximum Operating Pressure: 25 bar (2500 kPa)
  • Installation: Fixed, in vertical position

Feed water

  • Liquid Pumped: Clean, without solid bodies or mineral oil, non-viscous, chemically neutral, close to water characteristics.

Electrical

  • Motor Type: Closed asynchronous motor, externally ventilated.
  • Rotor: Mounted on self-lubricated bearings, selected for longevity and low noise.
  • Motor Protection: For three-phase motors, it is advisable to use a remote circuit breaker in accordance with current standards.
  • Standard Voltage:
    • 3 x 230-400 V up to 4 kW
    • 3 x 400 V ~ Δ from 4 kW
  • Protection Rating: IP 55
  • Insulation Class: F
  • Compliance: CEI 2-3
  • Options: EFF1, 60 Hz, Explosion-proof, PTC

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Materials in Contact with Water: All parts in contact with water are made of AISI 304 stainless steel. This includes impellers, motor casing, and suction/discharge connections.
  • Support: Cast iron treated with a special cataphoresis coating.
  • Mechanical Seal: Cartridge-type, silicon/silicon.
