10. Storing the product
12.1.2
Relative humidity
IP44: The relative humidity must not exceed 95 % in a non-
condensing environment.
The dew point of the air at ambient temperature should al-
ways be lower than the liquid temperature, otherwise con-
densation may form in the stator housing.
K-Version/IPX4D: Condensation is acceptable.
12.1.3 Minimum inlet pressure
To avoid cavitation noise and damage to the pump bearings, the
following minimum pressures are required at the pump inlet port.
Liquid temperature 75 °C 95 °C 110 °C
Pressure
0.005 MPa 0.05 MPa 0.108 MPa
0.05 bar 0.5 bar 1.08 bar
13. Disposing of the product
This product or parts of it must be disposed of in an environmentally
sound way.
1. Use the public or private waste collection service.
2. If this is not possible, contact the nearest Grundfos company or
service workshop.
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on a product
means that it must be disposed of separately from
household waste. When a product marked with this
symbol reaches its end of life, take it to a collection
point designated by the local waste disposal authori-
ties. The separate collection and recycling of such
products will help protect the environment and human
health.
