GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Our customers are central to our business.

Many years of collaboration with them across the diffe-

rent markets and all over the world has taught us that the
Building Services market requires specific pump design
to meet the challenge of the energy saving and market
competitiveness, also through performances and reliability.
Therefore Lowara has developed a new range of single
piece vertical multistage pumps, the VM, to give an ap-
propriate and dedicated solution to special applications
and installations in the residential and commercial building
services market.

Pump design
The VM is a non-self-priming vertical multistage, high
pressure centrifugal pump, with threaded inlet and outlet
manifolds. The pumps are close-coupled design and are
equipped with non-standard Lowara motors.
The VM is equipped with mechanical seal.

The VM are highly modular pumps that are fitted with an

innovative hydraulic design that secures high efficiency per-
formances and an increased Mean Time Between Failure.

The VM is available in four different sizes; the design is

made of a cast iron pump body coupled to an external
stainless steel (EN 1.4301/ AISI 304) TIG welded sleeve
with the mean of stainless steel tie rods screwed in the
aluminium motor flange. The impellers are made in NorylTM.

Motor
The VM are equipped with Lowara designed and manufactured surface motors in accordance with EN standards.
The VM series can be equipped as well with Lowara variable speed drivers such as the Teknospeed.

Range declination
The VM series are available as:
- Single pump
- Variable speed system with Lowara Teknospeed variable driver embedded (on request).

VM SERIES
Applications, benefits – Building Services
The VM series have been designed to cover a wide range of applications in the residential and small commercial buil-
ding services from water supply to pressure boosting.

Applications
The VM series could be installed both in single private own
house and in small/medium residential buildings.
The VM series will be as well your preferred choice for
water supply and pressure boosting in small block offices
and shops. The VM series could be finally installed as well
for small/medium irrigation installation.

Benefits
Ease of installation: thanks to the limited dimensions
due to the close-coupled vertical design, the VM is easy to
handle and install.

Payback: Installing the VM series guarantee a very short

payback period thanks to the high performance and to the
competitive market positioning.

Reliability: The VM series secures as well reliable opera-

tions over time thanks to its robust and innovative design,
heritage of the e-HMTM. This could be increased with the
installation of the Teknospeed: variable speed operation
reduces mechanical stress on the pump components and
water hammering during stopping.

Comfort: The VM series guarantee as well an increased

user comfort thanks to very silent operation. The combina-
tion of the VM series with the Teknospeed will secure con-
stant pressures at any points of water in your building and
constant temperatures even when other taps are opened!

For the installers, the VM series are easy to install and the best choice for the end user in term of energy savings.
The combination of the VM with the Teknospeed is the guarantee of quick and easy installation.

Features
- Compact design with best-in class performances.
- Wide range of performances with 4 sizes and flow up to 14m3 /h.
- Nominal pressure up to 10 bars.
- Robust and silent design due the sleeve configuration.
- IE3 Lowara manufactured motors: high performances and silent operations.
- “Essential O-ring design” that highly reduces the sealing weaknesses (Only 2 OR in the sleeve design).

European Commission has established requirements for promoting the use of products with low power consumption.

Among the various products considered there are also some typologies of pumps with the characteristics defined by
the specific Regulation (EU) n. 547/2012 implementing the requirements of Directives EuP and ErP.

For vertical multi-stage pumps (MS-V for the Regulations), the efficiency evaluation refers to:
• just the pump and not the pump and motor assembly (electric or combustion);
• pumps with a nominal pressure PN not higher than 25 bar (2500 kPa);
• pumps designed to operate at a speed of 2900 min-1 (for electric pumps this means 50 Hz 2-pole electric
motors);
• pumps with a maximum flow of 100 m3/h;
• use with clean water at a temperature ranging from -10°C to 120°C (the test is performed with cold water at a
temperature not higher than 40°C).

The Regulation also establishes the following deadlines:

from minimum efficiency index (MEI)

1st January 2013 MEI ≥ 0,1
1st January 2015 MEI ≥ 0,4

Regulation (EU) n. 547/2012 – Annex II – point 2 (Product information requirements)

1) Minimum efficiency index: see the MEI column in the tables in the General Characteristics section.
2) “The benchmark for most efficient water pumps is MEI ≥ 0,70”.
3) Year of manufacture: from January 2013.
4) Manufacturer: Xylem Service Italia srl - Reg. No. 07520560967 - Montecchio Maggiore, Vicenza, Italia.
5) Product type: see the PUMP TYPE column in the tables in the Hydraulic performance section.
6) Hydraulic pump efficiency with trimmed impeller: not applicable to these products.
7) Pump performance curves, including the performance curve: see the Operating Characteristics graphs in the
following pages.
8) “The efficiency of a pump with a trimmed impeller is usually lower than that of a pump with the full impeller
diameter. The trimming of the impeller will adapt the pump to a fixed duty point, leading to reduced energy
consumption. The minimum efficiency index (MEI) is based on the full impeller diameter”.
9) “The operation of this water pump with variable duty points may be more efficient and economic when
controlled, for example, by the use of a variable speed drive that matches the pump duty to the system”.
10) Information relevant for disassembly, recycling or disposal at end-of-life: observe the current laws and by-laws
governing sorted waste disposal. Consult the product operating manual.
11) “Designed for use below – 10 °C only”: note not applicable to these products.
12) “Designed for use above 120 °C only”: note not applicable to these products.
13) Specific instructions for pumps as per points 11 and 12: not applicable to these products.
14) “Information on benchmark efficiency is available at”: www.europump.org (Ecodesign section).
15) The benchmark efficiency graphs with MEI = 0.7 and MEI = 0.4 are available at
www.europump.org/efficiencycharts (refer to “Multistage Vertical 2900 rpm”).

FLOW RESISTANCE
TABLE OF FLOW RESISTANCE IN BENDS, VALVES AND

The flow resistance is calculated using the equivalent pipeline length method according to the table below:

The table is valid for the Hazen Williams coefficient C=100 (cast iron pipework);
for steel pipework, multiply the values by 1,41;
for stainless steel, copper and coated cast iron pipework, multiply the values by 1,85;
When the equivalent pipeline length has been determined, the flow resistance is obtained from the table of
flow resistance.
The values given are guideline values which are bound to vary slightly according to the model, especially for gate
valves and non-return valves, for which it is a good idea to check the values supplied by manufacturers.
