Product Overview
Built for continuous duty in hydronic climate control networks and facility water loops, the TPE3 100-160 inline centrifugal pump combines a 3 kW electric motor with close-coupled in-line architecture. Suction and discharge connections feature identical DN 100 porting, enabling direct drop-in placement within mechanical room pipe headers.
The hydraulic wet-end is engineered for optimal fluid dynamics, delivering 1527 L/Min rated flow volume and reaching a maximum head capacity of 10.1 m. Cast iron housing materials (EN-GJL-250) provide reliable pressure containment under continuous duty cycles. A Cast iron impeller and BQQE seal drive liquid media across wetted passages. Net product weight measures 88.6 kg.
Configured for 3 x 380-500 V Three-phase power lines, the 3 kW drive motor draws 5.80 Amps during nominal full-load duty. Thermal operational limits support fluid handling from -25°C to 120°C across commercial hydronic networks. Connection to plant room headers relies on inline DN 100 suction and DN 100 discharge flanges.
Winding insulation complies with Class F standards within an IP55 rated motor enclosure designed for demanding plant room environments. Equipped with an onboard frequency converter and PI controller, the pump modulates motor RPM dynamically for maximum energy efficiency. Top-pull-out casing construction enables service personnel to extract drive components without disconnecting suction or discharge flanges.
Features
- EN-GJL-250 cast iron volute housing provides robust pressure containment up to 16 bar in demanding hydronic circulation loops.
- Corrosion-resistant Cast iron impeller rotor is precision-balanced to minimize operational vibration and extend bearing lifecycle.
- Standardized DN 100 flanged connections comply with EN 1092-2 for seamless drop-in integration into commercial pipe headers.
- Maintenance-free BQQE mechanical shaft seal prevents fluid leakage and maintains seal integrity under elevated working pressures.
- IP55 motor enclosure protection guards internal electrical components against ambient dust accumulation and water splash ingress.
- Class F thermal motor insulation permits continuous operation under elevated fluid temperatures ranging from -25°C to 120°C.
- Equal suction and discharge port diameters enable straightforward inline installation without requiring custom pipe reducer spools.

What electrical specifications in motor output, operating voltage, and full load amps apply?
Operating with automated frequency regulation, Grundfos TPE3 100-160 draws 5.8 Amps across a three-phase 415 V line to run its 3 kW motor.
At elevated media temperatures, how much system working pressure and thermal variation are permitted?
Operating limits for circulating fluid temperatures in TPE3 100-160 span -25°C to 120°C, functioning safely up to 16 bar pressure.
Across multi-elevation variable loops, what peak vertical column can this intelligent pump overcome?
Operating across modulating secondary loops, TPE3-100-160 delivers an operational dynamic head of approximately 10.1 m.
Through automated speed adjustment, what peak volumetric circulation rate is delivered on site?
Displacing tempered water smoothly across loops, TPE3 100 160 achieves a peak volumetric flow of approximately 1527 L/Min.
What metallurgy ensures dimensional stability across the casing and impeller of this pump?
Electrocoated surfaces on TPE3/100/160 protect the cast iron housing, which operates dependably with an aerodynamically balanced cast iron impeller (EN-GJL-200).
