and environment.
RELIABILITY IN FOCUS PAGE 4-5
With Grundfos end-suction pumps you are guaranteedoutstand-
ingreliability andperformanceduringtheir entirelifetime. NB/NK
pumps radiate quality inside out, because we never compromise
when it comes to selecting quality materials.
By introducing surface treatment of all pump parts, stainless
steel shafts, closed ball bearings and refined casting processes,
the newend-suction pump is simply the best around.
LCC THE TOTAL PERSPECTIVE PAGE 6-7
Choosing the most energy-efficient solution paves the way for
dramatic savings on operating costs. As Grundfos is a frontrun-
ner for global energy-saving ideas within the pump industry, all
Grundfos end-suction pumps are now available with the mar-
kets most energy-efficient EFF1 motors.
Other cost-saving factors such as extensive component modu-
larity, high-quality materials, improved hydraulics and impeller
design, and integrated frequency converters also add positively
to the total Life Cycle Cost calculation.
CUSTOMISED TO YOUR NEEDS PAGE 8-9
A Grundfos end-suction pump solution can be configured and
customised for seamless operation in your industry-specific ap-
plication.
The optimum solution with regard to performance and energy
consumption can be designed by using Grundfos intelligent
product configurator Web/WinCAPS. It contains extensive in-
formation about the entire end-suction range, different compo-
nents and materials, performance curves, energy consumption
rates and more. So whatever your need, we have the solution.
Innovative newdesign
It is an indisputable fact that extreme conditions call for extreme
reliability. That is why all the new end-suction pumps are de-
signed to demonstrate unsurpassed reliability and endurance in
demanding applications, no matter how hard and how long you
make themrun.
We have optimised the design in a number of ways, which make
a notable difference. Surface treatment of all pump components
means an altogether better look and feel coupled with improved
durability and corrosion resistance. Other newand strong design
features are improved housing and impeller design, all stainless
steel shafts, closed ball bearings and different pump materials
for different applications and environments.
Fine-tuned flowgeometries
Keeping the hydraulic friction as low as possible is a vital pa-
rameter for overall pump performance and efficiency. To allow
essentially unimpeded liquid flow through the pump, the flow
geometries of both the impeller and the pump casing have been
fine-tuned by means of special 3D simulations and computer cal-
culations. Maximumcompatibility between these two key com-
ponents means a minimum of aquadynamic disturbance and
thus reduced backflowand energy consumption.

Extensive R&D behind it all
Grundfos has one of the largest R&D departments in the pump
industry, employing nearly 500 engineers and technicians.
Absolutely nothing is left to chance when we release a new
pump series into the market, the Grundfos end-suction range be-
ing no exception.
Extensive research and development lie behind the improved
end-suction range to ensure unsurpassed reliability and per-
formance during the lifetime of the pump. Our dedicated R&D
engineers have looked into every aspect of pump technology to
optimise pump performance and find innovative and energy-
saving solutions.
Laboratory research has been backed by in-depth field testing
in representative industrial installations to verify that the pump
performs satisfactorily in demanding applications and environ-
ments.
Step-by-step quality control
Grundfos pumps are renowned for their high quality and supe-
rior performance all over the world, and rightly so. We focus on
quality in the entire value chain from initial purchase of raw
materials to final logistics and service. Grundfos end-suction
pumps are manufactured and quality tested in accordance with
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, which is your guarantee for
meticulous attention to every detail.

Quality management is appliednot only in-house but alsotoevery
link in the supply chain. This means that all our specialist suppliers
are rigorously evaluated with regards to material quality, produc-
tion processes, supply security and environmental standards.
Before being dispatched to the customer, the pump is subject to
a thorough factory acceptance test (FAT) at our high-technology
production and testing facilities. Factory acceptance tests are
performed in accordance with ISO 9906, Annex A, and all test
data are logged for subsequent documentation and generation
of test certificates.

LIFE CYCLE COSTS are what really matters
Thinking ahead is a good investment
Focusing exclusively on the purchase price when selecting your
pumps is most certainly an unwise approach. An overlooked rule
of thumb is that the initial investment represents only 5% of the
total cost of owning a pump during its lifetime. Maintenance
costs swallow about 5% of the total life cycle costs and energy
costs a staggering 90%.
This is to say that the long-termcost reduction that results from
making the right purchase is so significant that it will affect the
profitability of your installation as a whole. By looking at the to-
tal cost of ownership, the payback time of the investment will be
much shorter than you think.
Cost efficiency that speaks for itself
Dramatic savings on operating costs can be gained by selecting
the most energy-efficient pump solution. Cost efficiency and
innovation have been the ultimate goals and the driving forces
behind the development of the newGrundfos end-suction range,
as energy costs are a crucial factor for all industries and a major
component of an end-suction pumps Life Cycle Costs.
Cost-reducing factors
Higher efficiency rates of pumps and motors have been achieved
partly by improving housing and impeller design and partly by
incorporating high-efficiency motors in the pumps.
We have analysed and refined the casting mould for the housing,
as all tests showthat the better the casting mould, the better the
pump performance. Optimised flow geometries of the impeller
and pump casing have reduced the hydraulic friction and thus
the amount of energy consumed.
The third crucial cost-reducing factor of the new Grundfos end-
suction range is the use of Efficiency 1 motors, as Efficiency 1
motors consume a minimumof electrical power while keeping a
high level of performance.
All the pumps in the Grundfos NB/NK range are available with
high efficiency Eff1 motors. Being an environmentally responsi-
ble company, Grundfos attaches great importance to supply cli-
ents with low energy-consuming products that meet the strict
demands stated in EUs CEMEP agreement concerning the reduc-
tion of harmful impacts on the environment.

Savings from day one
Demonstrating significantly better efficiency and operating per-
formance than its predecessors, the newend-suction pumps will
bring you substantial energy savings fromday one.
Grundfos software tool WinCAPS enables you to select and fine-
tune each important part in your pump system. Based on these
input data, the configurator suggests the most effective way of
operation and selects the motor with the highest efficiency for
the specific task. The dimensioning features of the configura-
tor illustrate the consequences of changing parameters in your
pump system or mode of operation, and compares Life Cycle
Costs between alternative solutions.

Correct dimensioning makes all the difference
Another important factor, when we talk money, is correct dimen-
sioning of the pump. Getting the best possible overall efficiency
out of your pump is a matter of reducing the gap between pump
capacity and the required pressure and volume or in other
words avoiding over-dimensioning of the pump.
The extensive range of end-suction models, selected by means
of intelligent product configuration, makes it possible to find the
best pump for the job at hand, thus eliminating the efficiency
drop associated with over-dimensioned pumps. Your pump solu-
tion can be configured and dimensioned to your exact needs and
requirements no more, no less.
With the pump configuration software it is possible to select the
rigth solution frommore than 1 million variants of the same pump.
Efficiency and LCC calculations clearly demonstrate
howmuch difference a Grundfos end-suction pump
will mean to your business.

portant to finding and sizing the right pump for your application.
Optimisedpump operation is achievedonly if the pump is aligned
correctly. Perfect alignment is ensured by means of a special la-
ser alignment tool, which can be made available fromyour local
Grundfos service partner.

Maintenance made simple and cost effective
The Grundfos end-suction pumps are designed with a back pull-
out system, which makes maintenance and servicing simple and
cost-effective. Both models allow for removal of the impeller
without dismantling the pump housing or pipework.
On the NB close-coupled models, motor and impeller can be re-
moved as one unit without dismantling the pump. On the long-
coupled NK pump models, the use of a spacer coupling enables
the motor to remain in place when impeller and shaft section are
removed for maintenance and service checks. This eliminates the
need for realigning the installation afterwards.
Maintenance is further facilitated by a unique system with im-
peller wear rings which means that you only need to change the
high-wear pump parts. The easily replaceable wear rings also sig-
nificantly prolong the life of the pump.
Global service network
The Grundfos name is synonymous with dependable, high-quali-
ty pumps that are unlikely ever to cause any trouble. However, if
you do need service, rest assured that the global Grundfos service
network is geared to move fast and efficiently.
Grundfos is represented by own sales and service companies in
39 countries around the world, and more than 350 authorised
Grundfos service partners supplement our presence and offer
effective global service coverage. There is a Grundfos approved
service partner near you and you can get in touch with one
around the clock.

Applications
The pump is suitable for the pumping of thin, clean and
non-aggressive liquids without solid particles or fibres
in:
District heating
Water supply
Airconditioning
Cooling plants
Industry
Fire fighting
Environment engineering
Operating Conditions
Pump
Non-self-priming single-stage centrifugal volute pump
with axial suction port, radial discharge port and hori-
zontal shaft components.
The NKG pumps have dimensions and nominal
performances according to DIN 24 256 (16 bar). Types
outside of the official DIN-norm (NKG 200 and up) will
be called "oversize". Dimensions can differ from other
suppliers.
The suction and discharge flanges are according to DIN
2501 PN 16. All pumps are dynamically balanced
according to ISO 1940 class 6.3 and impellers are
hydraulically balanced.
Pump and motor are mounted on a common baseplate
in accordance with DIN 24 259 in all-welded steel.
Oversizes have profile base frames.
Due to the pump design the complete bearing assembly
including impeller and shaft seal can be dismantled
without removing the volute casing from the pipe
system (back-pull-out system ).
Flexible Coupling
Standard version or a spacer coupling which allows the
motor to remain in place during the abovementioned
dismantling to avoid subsequent alignment.
If the pump housing, motor or the entire unit is moved,
alignment is always neccessary.
Bearing Assembly with Shaft
The bearing assembly includes two sturdy antifriction
bearings lubricated for life. Oversize pumps with shaft
d5=55mm however, have open bearings with grease
nipples.
A thrower on the shaft prevents liquid from entering the
bearing housing.
In stuffing box versions the shaft is protected by a stain-
less steel sleeve at the shaft seal.
All the NKG pumps according to DIN 24 256 are
covered by only four sizes of shaft, shaft seal and bear-
ings, and the oversizes by an additional three sizes.
Due to the ample sizes of the bearings and shaft the
pump can be driven by a belt drive, belt variator or a
diesel engine, if required.
Shaft Seal
The standard version is provided with a mechanical
Burgmann shaft seal according to DIN 24 960,
Grundfos type AQAE. Depending on pumped liquid and
operating conditions other types and stuffing boxes are
available.
Back-to-back double mechanical shaft seals, and
"quench", are available for all variants on request.
Motor
The motor is a totally enclosed, fan-cooled squirrel-
cage Grundfos MMG motor dimensioned to IEC publi-
cation 72 and complying with IEC 34 and DIN 42 950.
NKG units with 60 Hz motors and NKE units with MGE
motors are also available, but are described in seperate
booklets.
Other brands of motors can be mounted on request.
