TP, TPE pumps are designed for applications such as
• district heating systems
• heating systems
• air-conditioning systems
• district cooling systems
• water supply
• industrial processes
• industrial cooling.
The pumps are available with either standard motors
(TP) or electronically speed-controlled motors (TPE).
The pumps are all single-stage, in-line centrifugal
pumps with standard motor and mechanical shaft seal.
The pumps are of the close-coupled type, i.e. pump
and motor are separate units. Consequently, the
pumps are less sensitive to impurities in the pumped
liquid than similar pumps of the canned rotor type.
The TP, TPE range is divided into the following three
groups:
• TP pumps (uncontrolled standard pumps).
• TPE Series 2000 pumps (speed controlled pumps
with factory-fitted pressure sensor).
• TPE Series 1000 pumps (speed controlled pumps).
This product guide covers Series 2000 and 1000
speed controlled pumps.
Please see Grundfos publication L-TP-PG-001 for
TP (uncontrolled standard pump) product range
and details.
TPE Series 1000 pumps
The difference between the TP and the TPE Series
1000 pump range is the motor. The motors of TPE
Series 1000 pumps have a built-in VFD.
Via an external signal (from a sensor or a controller),
TPE Series 1000 pumps allow for any configuration
and control method required: constant pressure, constant temperature or constant flow.
TPE Series 1000 pumps are based on TP pumps. The
pump materials are the same as those of the TP pump
range.
For further information about TPE Series 1000 pumps,
see page 17.
Why select a TPE pump?
A TPE pump with electronic, speed-controlled
adaptation of performance offers these obvious
benefits:
• energy savings
• increased comfort
• control and monitoring of pump performance.
• communication with the pump.
TPE Series 2000 pumps
The main differences between the TP and the TPE
Series 2000 pump range are the motor and the factory-fitted integrated differential-pressure sensor.
The motors of TPE Series 2000 pumps have a
built-in variable frequency drive (VFD) designed to
continuously regulate the pressure to the flow.
The TPE Series 2000 range is recognized as a
pre-configured solution for quick and safe installation.
TPE Series 2000 pumps are based on TP pumps. The
pump materials are the same as those of the TP pump
range.

Affinity equations
Normally, TPE pumps are used in applications
characterized by a variable flow. Consequently, it is
not possible to select a pump that is constantly operating at optimum efficiency.
In order to achieve optimum operating economy, select
the pump on the basis of the following criteria:
• The max. required duty point should be as close as
possible to the QH curve of the pump.
• The flow rate at the duty point required should be
close to the optimum efficiency (eta) for most
operating hours.
Between the min. and max. performance curve TPE
pumps have an infinite number of performance curves
each representing a specific speed. Therefore it may
not be possible to select a duty point close to the max.
curve.
WinCAPS and WebCAPS
WinCAPS and WebCAPS are both selection programs
offered by Grundfos.
The two programs make it possible to calculate a TPE
pump’s specific duty point and energy consumption.
By entering the dimensional data of the pump,
WinCAPS and WebCAPS can calculate the exact duty
point and energy consumption. For further information,
please contact Grundfos or see Grundfos’ homepage
www.grundfos.com.
Fig. 1 Min. and max. performance curves
In situations where it is not possible to select a duty
point close to the max. curve, affinity equations can be
used. The head (H), the flow (Q) and the input power
(P) are the appropriate variables you need to be able
to calculate the motor speed (n).
Note:
The approximated formulas apply on condition that the
system characteristic remains unchanged for n
and that it is based on the formula H = k x Q
is a constant.
The power equation implies that the pump efficiency is
unchanged at the two speeds. In practice this is not
quite correct.
Finally, it is worth noting that the efficiencies of the
variable frequency drive and the motor must be taken
into account if a precise calculation of the power saving resulting from a reduction of the pump speed is
wanted.

Pumped liquids
TP, TPE pumps are suitable for pumping thin, clean,
non-aggressive and non-explosive liquids, not
containing solid particles or fibers that may
mechanically or chemically attack the pump; please
see "List of pumped liquids" below.
Examples of liquids:
• Central heating system water (we recommend that
the water meets the requirements of accepted standards on water quality in heating systems).
• cooling liquids.
• domestic hot water.
• industrial liquids.
• softened water.
If glycol or another antifreeze agent is added to the
pumped liquid, the pump must have a shaft seal of the
type RUUE.
The pumping of liquids with densities or kinematic
viscosities higher than those of water can cause
• a considerable pressure drop
• a drop in the hydraulic performance
• a rise in the power consumption.
In these situations, equip the pump with an oversize
motor. If in doubt, contact Grundfos.
If the water contains mineral oils or chemicals, or if
other liquids than water are pumped, choose the
O-rings accordingly.
Please note that shaft seals operating close to their
maximum temperature will require regular
maintenance, i.e. replacement.
List of pumped liquids
Grundfos TP pumps are designed for circulation
systems with constant flow; TPE pumps are for systems with variable flow.
Thanks to their design, these pumps can be used in a
wider liquid temperature range than pumps of the
canned rotor type.
A number of typical liquids are listed page 11.
Other pump versions may be used, but we consider
the ones stated in the list to be the best choices.
The list is intended as a general guide only, and it
cannot replace actual testing of the pumped liquids
and pump materials under specific working conditions.
If in doubt, contact Grundfos.
However, use the list with some caution as these or
other factors may affect the chemical resistance of a
specific pump version:
• concentration of the pumped liquid
• liquid temperature or
• pressure.

Construction
Grundfos TP, TPE pumps are single-stage,
close-coupled pumps with in-line suction and discharge ports flanges of identical diameter.
The pumps are equipped with a fan-cooled
asynchronous motor. Motor and pump shafts are
connected via a rigid two-part coupling.
The pumps are equipped with an unbalanced
mechanical shaft seal.
The pumps are of the top-pull-out design, i.e. the
power head (motor, pump head and impeller) can be
removed for maintenance or service while the pump
housing remains in the pipework.
As radial and axial forces are absorbed by the fixed
bearing in the motor drive-end, the pump requires no
bearing.

Differential proportional pressure
TPE Series 2000 pumps are factory-set to proportional
pressure. We recommend proportional pressure control in systems with relatively large pressure losses as
it is the most economical control mode.
TPE Series 2000 pumps set to proportional pressure
control continuously adjust the pump head to the
system water requirement.
The charts below show possible control modes of TPE
Series 2000 pumps in different applications.

Pump selection guidelines
Differential proportional pressure control
TPE 2000 pump operating range in differential pressure control mode is between 3/4th of the maximum
head (shut off) to 1/4th of the maximum head. Select
pump to operate within this range when pump is running full load speed. With differential proportional control, pump will follow a straight line between set point
and and half of the set point at closed valve as shown
below.

Construction
TPE Series 1000 pumps are based on TP pumps.
The main difference between the TP and the TPE
Series 1000 pump range is the motor.
The motor of TPE Series 1000 pumps has a built-in
variable frequency drive designed to continuously
regulate the pressure and the flow.
TPE Series 1000 pumps are suitable for applications
where you want to retrofit a sensor in order to control
e.g. the pressure, temperature, flow etc. at some
arbitrary point in the system. Sensors shall be supplied
by others.
For further information on construction and materials
of TPE Series 1000 pumps, see page 12 and 13.
Applications
TPE Series 1000 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 1000 pumps can operate in any duty point
within the range between 25 % and 100 % speed.
In the QH-chart the 100 %-curve corresponds to the
curve for a pump fitted with a standard fixed speed
motor.
Depending on the nature of the application, TPE
Series 1000 pumps offer energy-savings, increased
comfort or improved processing.
The pumps can be fitted with sensor types meeting the
requirements mentioned below:

Motors for TPE pumps
Grundfos variable frequency drive
The variable frequency drive in the MLE motor of the
TPE-pump is a highly integrated electronic unit. It is
based on an integrated hybrid module developed by
Grundfos.
The functional blocks of the single-phase MLE motor
variable frequency drive with PFC-circuit (Power Factor Correction) are shown in figure 10. Components of
Power electronics are;
• RFI filter (Radio Frequency Interference)
• Rectifier, PFC-circuit and intermediate circuit (1 ph)
• Inrush circuit
•Inverter
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
The Grundfos MLE motors fulfill the EMC directive
89/336/EEC and are tested according to standard EN
61 800-3. All Grundfos MLE motors are equipped with
radio interference filter and varistors in the mains
supply input to protect the electronics against voltage
peaks and noise present in the mains supply
(immunity). All inputs included in the electronic unit are
protected against peaks and noise which can damage
or disturb the function of the unit.
Grundfos MLE motors are designed to operate under a
radiated electromagnetic disturbance well above
requirements in EN61 800-3. MLE motors can be used
in both residential areas and industrial areas.
Integrated RFI filter
The integrated radio interference filter (RFI) limits the
amount of electrical noise which the MLE motor emits
to the mains supply network (emission). At the same
time the filter ensures that noise signals in the mains
generated by other equipment do not enter the
electronic devices of the variable frequency drive
causing damage or disturbances.
The purpose of PFC is to ensure that the mains are not
"contaminated" by non-sinusoidal loads which have a
tendency to distort the waveform of the mains voltage
and furthermore cause unnecessarily high peak
currents in the mains.
Benefits of PFC circuit:
• Low reactive load on power supply
• the current will have 40-50% lower RMS
• smaller fuses are required in the installation
• when connecting several pumps supplied by
different phases in parallel, the current in the
common neutral lead will be balanced so that the
neutral lead current will never exceed the current in
any one of the mains phases.
• the pump is less sensitive to variations in the mains
voltage.
Inrush circuit
When the variable frequency drive is connected to the
mains voltage, the intermediate circuit capacitor is
charged to achieve its normal operating voltage. A
series resistor ensures that the charging happens
slowly to avoid large charge spike in supply power and
intermediate capacitors.
Inverter
The inverter consists of six transistors which are
"switched on/off" by control signals from the control
electronics. The transistors have a diode placed in
parallel and are arranged in three branches each
consisting of a series connection comprising two
transistors.
Rectifier, PFC-circuit and intermediate circuit,
single-phase E-pumps
Single-phase MLE motors are equipped with
PFC-circuit (Power Factor Correction). The purpose of
this circuit is to ensure that the current input from the
mains is sinusoidal and the power factor is close to 1.
The single phase MLE motor range is not covered by
EMC directive and not required to comply with it.
Grundfos chose to include the PFC -circuit with the
variable frequency drive design in order to comply with
the EMC directive standard EN 61000-3-2 stipulating
the limits for harmonic current emissions.

Curve conditions
The guidelines below apply to the curves shown on the
following pages:
1. Tolerances to ISO 9906, Annex A.
2. The curves apply to the performance of sin-gle-phase pumps. For other versions, please see
the exact curves in WinCAPS or WebCAPS.
3. Measurements have been made with airless water
at a temperature of +68 °F (20 °C).
4. The curves apply to a kinematic viscosity of
1St(1mm
2
/s).
5. Due to the risk of pump overheating, the pumps
should not be used below the minimum flow rate
indicated by the bold-faced curves.
Note: We do not recommend constant operation at
a flow rate below 10 %.
6. If the pumped liquid density and/or viscosity is
higher than that of water, it may be necessary to use
a motor with a higher performance.
TP, TPE pumps can be installed in horizontal and
vertical pipes.
TM03 3064 0206TM02 8514 0304
Fig. 11 Installation
Install the pumps in such a way that strain from the
pipework is not transferred to the pump housing.
To ensure sufficient cooling of motor and electronics,
observe the following:
• Place the pump in such a way that sufficient cooling
is ensured.
• Make sure that the temperature of the cooling air
does not exceed +104 °F (40 °C).
• Keep the motor cooling fins, holes in fan cover and
fan blades clean.
Condensation cover for TPE pumps
When installing TPE pumps outdoors, provide the
motor with a suitable cover to avoid condensation on
the electronic components and to protect the pump
and motor against the direct effects of the elements.
Elimination of noise and vibrations
In order to achieve optimum operation and minimum
noise and vibration, consider vibration dampening of
the pump.
Noise and vibration are generated by the revolutions of
the motor and pump and by the flow in pipes and
fittings. The effect on the environment is subjective
and depends on correct installation and the state of the
remaining system.
Elimination of noise and vibrations is best achieved by
means of a concrete foundation, vibration dampers
and expansion joints.
TM02 4993 2102
Fig. 13 Foundation of TP pump
Concrete foundation
Install the pump on a plane and rigid concrete
foundation. This is the optimum solution for vibration
dampening. As a rule of thumb, the weight of a concrete foundation should be 1.5 times the pump weight.
When mounting the condensation cover on top of the
motor, make sure to leave enough space for the air to
cool the motor.

Vibration dampers
To prevent the transmission of vibrations to buildings,
we recommend you to isolate the pump foundation
from building parts by means of vibration dampers.
The selection of the right vibration damper requires the
following data:
• forces transmitted through the damper
• motor speed considering speed control, if any
• required dampening in % (suggested value is 70 %).
Which is the right damper varies from installation to
installation, and a wrong damper may increase the
vibration level. Vibration dampers should therefore be
sized by the supplier.
If you install the pump on a foundation with vibration
dampers, always fit expansion joints on the pump
flanges. This is important to prevent the pump from
"hanging" in the flanges.
Expansion joints
Install expansion joints to:
• absorb expansions/contractions in the pipework
caused by changing liquid temperature
• reduce mechanical strains in connection with
pressure surges in the pipework
• isolate mechanical structure-borne noise in the
pipework (only rubber bellows expansion joints).
Note: Do not install expansion joints to compensate
for inaccuracies in the pipework such as center
displacement of flanges.
Fit expansion joints at a distance of minimum 1 to 1½
times the nominal flange diameter away from the pump
on the suction as well as on the discharge side. This
will prevent the development of turbulence in the
expansion joints, resulting in better suction conditions
and a
minimum pressure loss on the pressure side. At high
water velocities (> 16 ft/s) we recommend you to install
larger expansion joints corresponding to the pipework.
The illustration below shows examples of rubber
bellows expansion joints with or without limit rods.
Expansion joints with limit rods can be used to reduce
the effects of the expansion/contraction forces on the
pipework.
Anchor the pipes in such a way that they do not stress
the expansion joints and the pump. Follow the
supplier’s instructions and pass them on to advisers or
pipe installers.
The illustration below shows an example of a metal
bellows expansion joint with limit rods.
TM02 4980 1902TM03 0565 2005
Fig. 15 Example of metal expansion joint
Due to the risk of rupture of the rubber bellows, metal
bellows expansion joints may be preferred a
temperatures above +212 °F (100 °C) combined with
high pressure.
Control panel positions
As standard, the control panels of TP and TPE pumps
are mounted in position 9 o’clock.
The possible terminal box positions are shown below.

Installation
Electrical installation
Electrical connection
Carry out electrical connection and protection in accordance with local regulations.
• Electronically speed-controlled pumps must always
be correctly grounded.
• Single-phase standard motors incorporate a thermal
switch and require no additional thermal motor
protection.
Note: Carry out the mains connection of the pump as
shown in the diagram inside the terminal box cover.
Do not start the pump until it has been filled with liquid
and vented.
Protection
Protection against fault currents
If the pump is connected to an electric installation
where an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is used
as additional protection, the earth leakage circuit
breaker must be marked with the following symbols.
Communication cables for TPE
Use screened cables (min. 0.5 mm2) for external on/off
switch, digital input, sensor and and setpoint signals.
The screens of the cables should be connected to
frame at both ends.
The screen of the cable must have good frame
connection which must be as close as possible to the
terminals.
TM02 1325 0901TM02 1343 1001
Fig. 16 External start/stop cable connection of TPE
Use a screened 2-core cable for the bus connection.
Connect the screen to terminal Y at both ends.
The earth leakage circuit breaker must trip out when
earth fault currents with DC content (pulsating DC) and
smooth DC earth fault currents occur.

Other connections TPE
See the wiring diagrams for instructions how to connect external potential-free contacts for start/stop and
digital function, external setpoint signal and fault signal.
Connect the wires to the following terminal groups:
Group 1: Inputs (external start/stop, digital function,
setpoint and sensor signals, terminals 1-9
and bus connection, A, Y, B).
All inputs are separated from the mains
conducting parts by reinforced insulation.
Group 2: Output (signal relay).
The output, terminals C, NO and NC, are
galvanically separated from other circuits.
Therefore, the supply voltage or protective
extra-low voltage can be connected to the
output as desired.
Group 3: Mains supply.
Note:
• As a precaution, separate the wires from each other
by reinforced insulation in their entire lengths.
• If no external on/off switch is connected, maintain
the connection across terminals 2 and 3.
