The ARO CF‑8 End Suction Pump is a stainless steel end suction centrifugal pump engineered for demanding data center cooling and fluid transfer applications. Designed with investment‑cast 316 stainless steel wetted components, it offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical additives, and thermal cycling commonly found in data center environments.
This centrifugal pump for data center systems delivers high head capability in a compact footprint, making it ideal for chilled water circulation, specialty cooling loops, and chemically treated water systems.
Key technical highlights include:
The CF‑8 combines hydraulic efficiency, material durability, and configuration flexibility—key decision criteria for mission‑critical data center operations.
The ARO CF‑8 End Suction Pump belongs to ARO’s stainless steel centrifugal pump portfolio and is specifically suited for data center cooling systems where fluid quality, reliability, and long service life are essential.
Unlike standard semi‑open impeller designs, the CF‑8 uses an enclosed impeller that delivers significantly higher heads and improved hydraulic efficiency. Multiple impeller trims allow precise matching of the pump curve to the actual operating point of a data center cooling loop, helping reduce energy consumption and avoid oversizing.
All wetted components—including the casing, impeller, and drive sleeve—are manufactured from investment‑cast 316 stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to chlorides, chemical inhibitors, and temperature variations typically present in data center chilled water systems.
The pump is not self‑priming and is designed for flooded suction installations, which aligns well with standard data center mechanical room layouts.
The following specifications are verified from official documentation.
With more than 95 years of expertise, ARO is a trusted partner for fluid handling solutions in critical environments, including data center facilities. The ARO CF‑8 End Suction Pump reflects ARO’s commitment to reliability, material excellence, and long‑term performance—helping data center operators protect uptime, efficiency, and peace of mind.
