1. Applications

Grundfos pumps, type CHI, are horizontal multistage
centrifugal pumps of the non self-priming type
designed for pumping thin non-explosive liquids.
The CHI pump with integral motor is fitted to a base
plate.
The pump is made of corrosion-resistant materials,
which makes it ideally suited for water supply and a
wide range of applications in industry, agriculture
and in the food industry.
The pump must not be used for the trans-
fer of inflammable liquids such as diesel
oil, petrol or similar liquids.
Note: The pump has been tested with water only.
The pump is designed for pumping clean water,
domestic hot water, aqueous solutions, cleaning
solutions, suspensions or light oils and other liquids
with a density and viscosity corresponding to those
of water. The liquids must not contain abrasive parti-
cles or fibres.
When pumping liquids with a density or viscosity
higher than that of water, motors with correspond-
ingly higher outputs must be used.
As standard, the mechanical shaft seal for the CHI
pump is available in six versions with different mate-
rial combinations, see the stamping code on the
pump nameplate.
