Delivering high head performance in a compact 40 mm bore, the Grundfos UPS 40-180 F 415V circulator pump targets demanding high-rise heating risers and central cooling circuits. It provides the pressure necessary to circulate thermal water across multiple building levels and high-loss coils.
The casing is cast from EN-GJL-250 iron with a 250 mm port-to-port dimension, housing an EN 1.4301 stainless steel impeller, stainless rotor can, and bearing plate. Rated for 10 bar operating pressure, the assembly withstands liquid temperatures from -10°C to 120°C and weighs 21.3 kg.
Running on 3 x 400-415 V 50 Hz power, the motor has a maximum power input (P1) of 770 W at 1.3 A at maximum speed, with three selectable speed steps. Peak performance yields a maximum head of 18 m and a flow rate of 12.01 m³/h (200 L/Min) through DN 40 DIN flanged ports.
Fluid-lubricated ceramic radial bearings and a carbon axial bearing deliver low-vibration operation without mechanical seal degradation. The motor enclosure provides IPX4D ingress protection with Class H insulation and integral thermal switch contacts.
