Product Overview
The TPE3 40-240 in-line centrifugal pump is specified for clean water circulation across commercial heating and cooling installations, district energy plants, and industrial utility headers. Operating with a 1.5 kW electric drive, the unit features inline DN 40 pipe connections that mount straight into active fluid transfer lines without requiring offset piping manifolds.
Hydraulic performance testing confirms a rated output volume of 373 L/Min with an operational head rating of 18.6 m. The EN-GJL-250 cast iron volute casing handles system line pressures up to 16 bar. Internal fluid movement is driven by a durable Composite impeller fitted with a BQQE mechanical seal. Product net weight equals 26.6 kg.
The electric drive motor operates on a 3 x 380-500 V Three-phase power source drawing 3.05 Amps nominal operating current at 1.5 kW drive output. The pump processes clean, non-aggressive fluids across liquid temperatures between -25°C to 120°C under maximum working pressures up to 16 bar. Flanged connections feature matching DN 40 inlet and outlet porting.
Built with an IP55 dust and moisture resistant motor enclosure, the unit features Class F thermal insulation for reliable continuous duty. An integrated variable frequency drive (VFD) and PI controller adjust motor speed dynamically to match real-time flow demand. Servicing is simplified by the top-pull-out architecture, allowing removal of the motor head and rotating assembly without disturbing main line pipe joints.
Features
- High-efficiency motor design delivers optimized hydraulic throughput with minimal electrical power consumption across variable duty cycles.
- EN-GJL-250 cast iron volute housing provides robust pressure containment up to 16 bar in demanding hydronic circulation loops.
- Corrosion-resistant Composite impeller rotor is precision-balanced to minimize operational vibration and extend bearing lifecycle.
- Standardized DN 40 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.

Varying rotational output to meet system demand, how much fluid volume does this circulator move?
Through digital motor control, Grundfos TPE3 40-240 displaces a peak liquid circulation volume of approximately 373 L/Min.
Which durable materials protect this intelligent circulator from internal fluid shearing?
Designed for quiet variable speed service, TPE3 40-240 incorporates an EN-GJL-250 cast iron housing with an engineered composite impeller (PES-GF30).
Which electrical parameters in kilowatt capacity, supply voltage, and running current apply?
Integrated inverter electronics in TPE3-40-240 power its 1.5 kW motor across a three-phase 415 V supply with an amperage of 3.05 Amps.
Concerning working line pressure, how much hydrostatic pressure and thermal cycling can it endure?
Certified for versatile hydronic duty, TPE3 40 240 circulates liquid media across -25°C to 120°C while withstanding pressures to 16 bar.
Adjusting rotational velocity to changing thermal demands, how much dynamic lift is produced?
Through real-time motor speed optimization, TPE3/40/240 maintains an operational dynamic head of approximately 18.6 m.
