• The max. required duty point should be as close as point and energy consumption. For further information, possible to the QH curve of the pump. please contact Grundfos or see Grundfos’ homepage www.grundfos.com. • The flow rate at the duty point required should be close to the optimum efficiency (eta) for most operating hours.
TPE E-circulators 5. Operating conditions Working pressure Maximum working pressure 145 psi (10 bar). Fluid temperature Maximum fluid temperature +284 °F (140 °C). Relative humidity Maximum 95%. Ambient temperature Maximum ambient temperature +104 °F (40 °C). Note: When motors installed more than 3000 ft (914 m) above sea level, the rated motor output will fall due to the low density and consequent low cooling effect of the air.
Pumped liquids List of pumped liquids TP, TPE pumps are suitable for pumping thin, clean, Grundfos TP pumps are designed for circulation non-aggressive and non-explosive liquids, not systems with constant flow; TPE pumps are for sys- containing solid particles or fibers that may tems with variable flow.

Optimized hydraulics for high efficiency • RUUE - reduced power consumption. The RUUE shaft seal is a Grundfos O-ring seal with TPE pumps with built-in variable frequency drive reduced tungsten carbide/tungsten carbide seal - 2-pole and 4-pole TP pumps from 0.33 to 1.5 Hp faces and secondary seals of EPDM.
TPE E-circulators 8. TPE Series 2000 pumps Applications TPE Series 2000 pumps have integrated speed control for automatic adaptation of performance to current conditions. This ensures that the energy consumption is kept at a minimum. TPE Series 2000 pumps can operate in any duty point within the range between 25 % and 100 % speed.
Communication with TPE Series 2000 pumps is possible via: • a central building management system • remote control (Grundfos R100) or • a control panel. The purpose of controlling TPE Series 2000 pumps is to monitor and control the pressure.

TPE E-circulators 13. Installation Mechanical installation Elimination of noise and vibrations In order to achieve optimum operation and minimum TP, TPE pumps can be installed in horizontal and noise and vibration, consider vibration dampening of vertical pipes. the pump. Noise and vibration are generated by the revolutions of the motor and pump and by the flow in pipes and fittings.

TPE E-circulators Vibration dampers Expansion joints with limit rods can be used to reduce the effects of the expansion/contraction forces on the To prevent the transmission of vibrations to buildings, pipework. we recommend you to isolate the pump foundation from building parts by means of vibration dampers. Anchor the pipes in such a way that they do not stress the expansion joints and the pump.
