SIHI SuperNova Pump ZHN – Hot Water

SIHI SuperNova Pump ZHN range of hot water pumps are horizontal, single-stage volute casing pumps with dimensions and nominal ratings to EN 733 / DIN 24255 in back pull out design.The EN 733 dimensional standard makes replacement of obsolete or unreliable pumps very easy. The series ZHN has especially been designed for the trouble free handling of hot water up to 180 °C without cooling requirements. The back pull out design permits the removal of the complete bearing unit towards the drive end without removing the pump casing from the pipe work.  A spacer type coupling is standard making re-alignment unnecessary.

Pumps of the ZHN type are part of the family of heat transfer and circulation pumps and are primarily used for circulation of hot water in closed pipe and vessel systems. Therefore their fields of applications are energy production, heat transport and industry where hot water as a heat carrier is given preference, despite its high systems pressure, over oil as a heat carrier.

Technical Data:

  • Flow rate: up to 600 m³/h
  • Head: up to 95 m
  • Speed: max. 3,600 rpm
  • Temperature: Max. 180 °C 
  • Casing pressure: up to 16 bar (PN 16)
  • Shaft seal: standard mechanical seal uncooled
  • Material: nodular iron
  • Flange connections: DIN EN 1092-2 PN 16
  • Direction of rotation: clockwise, when looking at the pump from the drive end

The SIHI SuperNova Pump ZHN series has been specially designed for trouble free handling of hot water up to 180 °C and is distinguished by:

  • A heat barrier that causes an optimal energy consumption by the pump and reduces the temperature level in the mechanical seal chamber to less than 80 °C without external cooling circuit (see temperature curve on page 3). The service life of the mechanical seal increases considerably.
  • A special design that automatically leads accumulation of gas to exhaust. Consequently, the dry operation of the mechanical seal can be excluded.
  • A programme that comprehends 22 construction sizes and thus guarantees an optimal solution for every operating point.
  • The back pull out design, which permits the removal of the complete, bearing unit towards the drive end without removing the pump casing from the pipe work. If a spacer coupling is installed it is also unnecessary to disconnect the motor.
