Figure 23: Influence of liquid temperature on motor temperature
(Measurement at 6000 rpm 50 lpm with LPP-2000.7, but gradients are representative for other operational points and the same for LPP-2000.6)
The above curves are measurements of the motor temperature at certain liquid and ambient temperatures.
Equation (Eq. 1) shows how to calculate the motor temperature for other liquid and ambient temperatures
based on these curves.

In order to account for thermal variations (like ambient temperature, closed chemical cabinets or corners
without ventilations) and to not significantly reduce the MTBF of the motor it is recommended to keep about
10 to 20°C safety distance to the absolute thermal limit of the motor (90°C) when designing the thermal
concept of the pump system.
