Product Overview
The TPE3 65-680 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 11 kW electric drive, the unit features inline DN 65 pipe connections that mount straight into active fluid transfer lines without requiring offset piping manifolds.
Hydraulic performance testing confirms a rated output volume of 1123 L/Min with an operational head rating of 47 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 Cast iron impeller fitted with a BQQE mechanical seal. Product net weight equals 109 kg.
The electric drive motor operates on a 3 x 380-500 V Three-phase power source drawing 20.3 Amps nominal operating current at 11 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 65 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
- 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.
- Integrated variable frequency converter with PI controller modulates motor RPM dynamically to balance flow demand and lower energy usage.
- Top-pull-out structural layout enables complete drive head and impeller extraction without disconnecting the pump casing from system piping.
- 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.

Across intelligent secondary manifolds, how much volumetric displacement does this circulator deliver?
Through smart flow management, Grundfos TPE3 65-680 delivers a maximum volumetric liquid discharge of approximately 1123 L/Min.
Under variable operating pressures, which metals protect this pump against mechanical fatigue?
Protection against electrochemical oxidation in TPE3 65-680 relies on cataphoresis-coated cast iron with an aerodynamically balanced cast iron impeller (EN-GJL-200).
Which electrical specifications in kilowatts, incoming supply, and full load current are certified?
The high-efficiency variable drive in TPE3-65-680 provides 11 kW of output, requiring a three-phase 415 V line with an amp draw of 20.3 Amps.
In secondary distribution skids, which fluid temperature ranges and line pressures can be sustained?
Fluid operating conditions from -25°C to 120°C are fully accommodated within TPE3 65 680 up to a working pressure boundary of 16 bar.
Regulating vertical fluid pressure electronically, what total elevation height is sustained on site?
Controlling fluid elevation electronically, TPE3/65/680 sustains a maximum dynamic head of approximately 47 m.
