Maximum Inlet Pressure - Grundfos CR 95 Data Booklet

CR, CRN 95-155

Maximum inlet pressure

The following table shows the maximum permissible
inlet pressure. However, the actual inlet pressure plus
the pressure against a closed valve must always be
lower than the maximum permissible operating
pressure.
If the maximum permissible operating pressure is
exceeded, the angular contact bearing in the motor
may be damaged and the life of the shaft seal reduced.

Examples of operating and inlet pressures
The values for operating and inlet pressures shown in
the table must not be considered individually and must
comply with the below statement.
The outlet pressure must be equal to or lower than the
maximum operating pressure.
See the following definitions and examples.

Example
The following pump type has been selected: CR 95-3.
Maximum operating pressure: 363 psi (25 bar).
Maximum inlet pressure: 218 psi (15 bar).
Pump differential pressure when operating against a
closed outlet valve (flow = 0 GPM (0 m
head = 190 psi (133 m head = 13.07 bar). See page
18.
This pump is not allowed to start at an inlet pressure of
218 psi (15 bar), but at an inlet pressure of 363 - 190 =
173 psi (25 - 13.07 = 11.93 bar)
