Cooling water inlet temperature
Note
Cooling water inlet temperature
Select the cooling water inlet temperature so that condensation does not form on the surface
of the motor.
Cooling water temperatures which are lower than the ambient temperature tend to result in
increased water condensation. The dierence between the cooling water inlet temperature and
the ambient temperature depends on the relative air humidity. For instance, 50 % air humidity
at an ambient temperature of 40°C corresponds to a temperature dierence of 10K:

–temperature dierence
Please note that you must also shut o the ow of cooling water when the motor is not
operational for prolonged periods of time.
The motors are designed for operation up to a cooling water inlet temperature of +30°C,
provided that all of the specied motor data is complied with. If the cooling water inlet
temperature deviates from this, the continuous torque will change (see table "Derating
factors").

Cooling data and sound pressure levels
The specied values refer to operation at the rated speed with rated torque. The cooling water
temperature must be ≤30° C.
