Summary

Product Identification

The CEA-CA Series comprises single and twin-impeller centrifugal electric pumps, available in standard (CEA-CA) and "N" versions (CEA(N)-CA(N)). The "N" versions are constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel. These pumps are equipped with IE2/IE3 motors, compliant with Regulation (EC) no. 640/2009, and operate at 50 Hz.

Operating Limits

  • Temperature of pumped liquid:
    • Standard version: -10°C to +85°C
    • "N" and "V" versions: -10°C to +110°C
  • Maximum operating pressure: 8 bar (PN 8)
  • Rotation: Counter-clockwise when facing the pump from the suction port.
  • Liquids handled:
    • AISI 304 version (CEA-CA): Suitable for chemically and mechanically non-aggressive water and liquids. A version with FPM elastomers (CEA../..-V, CA../..-V) is available for moderately aggressive liquids.
    • AISI 316 "N" version (CEA(N)-CA(N)): Designed for aggressive liquids, including reverse osmosis (demineralized water), industrial washing, thermal waters, chlorine dispensing in swimming pools, jewelry industry, and wine production.

Hydraulic Performance

  • CEA-CEA(N) Series:
    • Delivery: up to 520 l/min (31 m³/h)
    • Head: up to 32 m
  • CA-CA(N) Series:
    • Delivery: up to 210 l/min (12.5 m³/h)
    • Head: up to 62 m

Mechanical / Hydraulic

Construction Characteristics

  • Pump Type: Close-coupled, centrifugal pump featuring axial suction and radial discharge. CEA models are single-impeller, while CA models are twin-impeller.
  • Design: Compact construction with the pump directly coupled to the motor. A special motor shaft extension is common with the pump and supported by ball bearings.
  • Maintenance: Features a back pull-out design for the rotating assembly, allowing removal without disconnecting the pump body from the pipeline.
  • Ports: Threaded suction and discharge ports (Rp ISO 7).
  • Impeller: High-performance enclosed impeller made of AISI 304 stainless steel (AISI 316 for "N" version).
  • Mounting Pedestal: On pump body for CEA models, on motor for CA models.
