- What applications is the Grundfos CR 15 suitable for?
- Industrial pressure boosting, boiler feed, cooling-tower makeup, condensate transfer, washdown, reverse osmosis pre-feed, fire protection, light-industry process water
- Can this pump be supplied with a variable frequency drive (VFD)?
- Yes - either order the matching E-Pump variant with integrated MLE motor (CRE / CRIE / CRNE / CME), or pair the fixed-speed pump with a Grundfos CUE external VFD.
- What shaft seal options are available?
- Standard HQQE (carbon/SiC with EPDM) for cold/warm water and HQQV (carbon/SiC with FKM) for hot water and aggressive media. Cartridge double seals available for hazardous duty.
- Is dry-run protection available?
- Yes - the Grundfos LiqTec sensor mounts inside the pump head and shuts down the pump if it detects dry running. Standard on most CRE configurations.
