Shaft seals

CR pumps with an air-cooled top are used where the

pumping of hot liquids is crucial for a successful
production. A CR pump with an air-cooled top is a
pump with a special air-cooled shaft seal chamber
generating the same insulation effect as that of a
vacuum flask. No external cooling is necessary; the
ambient temperature is sufficient.

CR pumps with air-cooled top have a mechanical
silicon carbide/silicon carbide/EPDM cartridge shaft
seal, type HQQE, as standard.
The pumps are able to handle liquid temperatures up
to 180 C at max. PN 25.

TM03 9160 3507

Note: If the pumped liquid is oil, the pumps can handle
following liquid temperatures:
CR 1s to 90: 240 C at max. PN 16.
CR 120 and 150: 180 C at max. PN 16.

The following rubber part variants are available for our
air-cooled top solutions: CR 32, 45, 64, 90, 120 and 150
Liquid temperature [C] Rubber part material
Water-based liquids
120-140 EPDM
120-180 FXM/EPDM
Thermal oils
120-240 FKM

Temperatures above 120 C normally result in a

substantial reduction of seal life due to poor lubrication
of the seal faces. As the temperature in the seal TM04 4165 0909

chamber does not exceed 120 C during operation, a

standard Grundfos shaft seal can be used.
An automatic air vent is required for venting the pump
seal chamber.

Note: For safety reasons, fit a pipe in order to lead

away steam from the air vent to a drain. Observe local
regulations. Key

Bearing flanges for CR pumps with air-cooled top
When pumping hot liquids, the pump requires a net
positive inlet pressure according to the vapour
pressure of the specific liquid.
For water applications at 180 C, a bearing flange is Fig. 48 Air-cooled top
