Product Overview
Built for continuous duty in hydronic climate control networks and facility water loops, the TPE3 80-180 inline centrifugal pump combines a 2.2 kW electric motor with close-coupled in-line architecture. Suction and discharge connections feature identical DN 80 porting, enabling direct drop-in placement within mechanical room pipe headers.
The hydraulic wet-end is engineered for optimal fluid dynamics, delivering 842 L/Min rated flow volume and reaching a maximum head capacity of 12.8 m. Cast iron housing materials (EN-GJL-250) provide reliable pressure containment under continuous duty cycles. A Composite impeller and BQQE seal drive liquid media across wetted passages. Net product weight measures 38.5 kg.
Configured for 3 x 380-500 V Three-phase power lines, the 2.2 kW drive motor draws 4.15 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 80 suction and DN 80 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 Composite impeller rotor is precision-balanced to minimize operational vibration and extend bearing lifecycle.
- Standardized DN 80 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 power rating, supply voltage profile, and operating amperage govern this electronic pump?
Integrated drive electronics allow Grundfos TPE3 80-180 to deliver 2.2 kW of rotational power on a three-phase 415 V line pulling 4.15 Amps.
With elevated fluid temperatures, how does this inline unit maintain seal integrity across loops?
Permissible liquid temperatures for TPE3 80-180 span from -25°C to 120°C under a maximum system working pressure of 16 bar.
Adjusting pump speed across fluctuating cooling loads, what maximum vertical column is produced?
Modulating impeller output across varying seasonal demands, TPE3-80-180 generates a peak head of approximately 12.8 m.
Adjusting fluid delivery across multi-zone circuits, how many liters of media does this pump move?
Regulating liquid volume across connected manifolds, TPE3 80 180 sustains a peak volumetric flow of approximately 842 L/Min.
To ensure reliable hydronic containment, what alloys make up the wet end of this unit?
Durability under rigorous operating conditions is provided in TPE3/80/180 by a cast iron volute alongside an engineered composite impeller (PES-GF30).
