Lowara Lowara CEA / CIE / CA
Close-coupled centrifugal pumps with one impeller (CEA, CIE) or two impellers (CA), in stainless steel, with flow up to 31 m³/h and head up to 32 m in the CEA range.
CEA and CIE are the Lowara close-coupled centrifugal pumps with one impeller, with axial suction and radial discharge, and CA is the two-impeller variant in the same brochure. For the CEA range the brochure indicates flow up to 31 m³/h, head up to 32 m, pumped liquid between -10 and +110 °C and a maximum working pressure of 8 bar (PN 8). The maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C for the single-phase motor and 40 °C for the three-phase one. The connections are threaded (Rp, ISO 7), the motor is IP55 with class 155 (F) insulation, and the impeller is in AISI 304 stainless steel (AISI 316 for the “N” version). CIE is the version for heating, cooling and ventilation installations, with a SiC/SiC/EPDM mechanical seal.
The code is read from the nameplate: CEAM120/5/A-V means a single-phase (M) CEA pump, nominal flow 120 l/min, impeller size 5, a motor with efficiency class A (IE2, three-phase) or C (IE2, single-phase) or D (IE3, three-phase), and the letter V shows FKM elastomers instead of EPDM. For a quotation please send us the full code, a photo of the nameplate and the supply voltage; we check the variant in the Lowara brochure before sending the quotation.

Frequently asked questions
What do “CEA 120/5” and “CEAM 120/5” mean?
CEA is the series, 120 is the nominal flow in l/min, 5 is the impeller size; the letter M after CEA shows the single-phase motor, its absence the three-phase motor. For CEA 120/5 the brochure lists a 1.1 kW motor in both variants.
How do I choose between CEA and CEA..N?
CEA..N has the impeller and the parts in contact with the liquid in AISI 316 stainless steel, instead of AISI 304; the brochure indicates it for reverse osmosis, industrial washing, thermal water and swimming pools. You can send us the liquid and its temperature, and we check the variant in the brochure.
What details do I send for a quotation?
The full code from the nameplate (including the efficiency letter and any V), the supply voltage and, if the pump has to be replaced, a photo of the nameplate and the existing connections.
Other Lowara series
The page covers the general data of the CEA-CIE range from the brochure; the hydraulic performance per model, the curves and the dimensions are read from the brochure tables for the exact code. The values for the CA series are confirmed from the CA section of the same brochure.
