2. Operating conditions
Operating conditions
Start-up
The pump must not be started until the system has
been filled with liquid and vented. Furthermore, the
required minimum inlet pressure must be available at
the pump inlet. The system cannot be vented through
the pump.
The pump is self-venting and does not require venting
before start-up.
Pumped liquids
UPA 15-90, UPA 15-120 and UPA 120 circulator
pumps are suitable for the these liquids:
• Fresh water
• Potable water without chemical additives
• Chlorinated potable water.
UPA 15-90, UPA 15-120 and UPA 120 circulator
pumps are not suitable for the transfer of flammable
liquids such as diesel oil and petrol.

Inlet pressure
To avoid cavitation noise and risk of damage to the
pump bearings, a minimum pressure of 2.0 m head/0.2
bar is required at the pump suction port during
operation.

Construction
UPA 15-90, UPA 15-120 and UPA 120 circulator Characteristic materials:
pumps for pressure boosting are of the canned-rotor • Shaft: aluminium oxide or ceramic
type, i.e. pump and motor form an integral unit without • Radial bearing: ceramic
shaft seal. Only two gaskets are required for sealing.
• Thrust bearing: carbon
The bearings are lubricated by the pumped liquid.
• Rotor can and bearing plate: stainless steel
UPA 15-90, UPA 15-120 and UPA 120 circulator
pumps are supplied with cable and plug. • Impeller: corrosion-resistant material
• Pump housing: cast iron or stainless steel.

Motor UPA 15-90 (N) Pump housing
Construction
The motor is a 2-pole, asynchronous, squirrel-cage
motor. The motor has a built-in impedance protection Standard (UPA 15-90, UPA 15-120)
and is short-circuit-proof. No external motor protection The pump housing has a bore for a flow switch, and
is required. The terminal box is easily accessible and hydraulics have been adapted to the larger impeller. A
has functional cable-connecting terminals. The cable stainless-steel ring equalises the dimensional
entry is tight and incorporates cable relief. difference between stator housing and pump housing.
Thrust bearing
The thrust bearing is secured to the shaft by a
spherically flexible suspension.
Bearing plate
The lower radial bearing is pressed into the bearing
plate, and ground and honed with great precision.

4. Installation
Installation
The pump must always be installed with horizontal
motor shaft. At start-up, the rotor can must be vented
by removing the plug from the top of the motor.
Within a short time, the rotor forces the remaining air
out into the system via the shaft.
UPA 120 and UPA 15-120 pumps can be installed
vertically or horizontally. The mounting position is
limited by the length of the cable between the external
flow switch and the terminal box.
The terminal box of the UPA 15-90 has to be on the
outlet of the pump, because of the built-in flow switch.
Note: As the pumps have drain holes, the terminal box
must not face downwards.

Performance curves
5. Performance curves
Curve conditions
The guidelines below apply to the performance curves
on the following pages:
• Test liquid: airless water.
• The measurements for the UPA have been made at
a water temperature of 20 °C.
• All curves show average values and should not be
used as guarantee curves. If a specific minimum
performance is required, individual measurements
must be made.
• The curves apply to a kinematic viscosity of = 1
mm2/s (1 cSt).
• The conversion between head H [m] and pressure p
[kPa] has been made for water with a density of
ρ = 1000 kg/m3. For liquids with other densities, for
example hot water, the discharge pressure is
proportional to the density.
