Circulation pump Grundfos ups 25-40 specifications

The Danish company Grundfos UPS is well known for its excellent performance. The Grundfos concern deservedly and fairly takes first place in the world pumping equipment market. The Danish company has over 60 years of experience in the design and implementation of innovative solutions in production. Designers use the unique Grundfos pump selection program, and confidently push European products to the main contractor positions, performing tasks in all areas of water supply and sanitation, including heating aspects.

Since its inception, the company has provided solutions and equipment that go far beyond its time. The leading place on the pedestal allows us to call the Grundfos company a trendsetter in the design and production of pumping equipment. The main conceptual task at Grundfos is to teach designers, builders, and customers to select pumping equipment, taking into account the increase in the energy efficiency of the task.

The main advantage of a wet rotor is absolute quiet operation despite continuous load. Residents of country houses and the private sector appreciated the innovation of the Danish company, the grundfos pump brought the capabilities of the heating system to a new qualitative level, increasing its efficiency many times over.

Despite the lower efficiency indicators in comparison with the traditional, separate layout of the hydraulic part and the electric motor, the wet rotor of the grundfos concern occupies a leading position in terms of sales. The buyer is ready to pay a high price for the comfort in the house and the comfort of his loved ones.

Grundfos UPS pump. Overview

We will begin our journey into the world of pumps of the Grundfos concern with an acquaintance with the household series of circulation pumps. Back in 1959, the company presented its first circulation pump for heating with the same name grundfos. All models of the series are successfully used in the forced heating system of private houses. A special place in the series is occupied by the time-tested UPS pumps.

Each Grundfos UPS pump is equipped with a three-speed switch, which allows it to be more precisely matched to the hydraulic parameters of the system. The pump is manufactured in two versions with different frequencies from 50 Hz for Russia and from 60 Hz for European consumers. The series is used in both open and closed heating systems.

Structurally, UPS pumps are made using the "wet-rotor" technology, in a word, the hydraulic part of the pump and the motor are a single whole. In this design, the rotor is completely sealed. This solution eliminates the need for a mechanical seal; instead, only a pair of oil seals are used. In addition, the pump does not have an impeller for cooling the engine, and the pumped liquid protects it from overheating, it also acts as a lubricating element for bearings.

The Grundfos UPS pump circulates the heating medium in heating and air conditioning systems. Special production of pumps made of bronze and even stainless steel, solve the problem of using them in hot water supply.

The Grundfos UPS pump currently has 28 items. This diversity is explained by the need for a more accurate selection of the pump in modern heating systems. Despite the abundance of names, all models are easy to remember, it is enough just to remember the marking.

Grundfos UPS pump marking:

Let us consider a circulation pump using the example of a Grundfos UPS 25-40 pump:

• Up - designation of equipment such as a circulation pump;
• S - pump equipment with a speed switch;
• 25 - pipe diameter, mm. (there are pumps for 25.32, and 40 mm);
• 40 - the highest indicator of pressure, dm (40 dm = 4 m) - at the third speed.

Additionally, you can remember that there are pumps with the index "F", for example, the Grundfos UPS 40-100 F pump, this index "F" designates the flange connection of the pump to the pipe. In addition, there are pumps with an installation length of 130 mm, then the designation contains such a marking UPS 25-40 130.

Pumps with a length of 130 mm are most often used in confined spaces such as wall-hung boilers.

Equipment with a flange connection, due to the small size of the pump, is used in isolated cases for a pipe of 40 mm. In general, standard pumps with an installation length of 180 mm and with connecting nuts for a pipe of 25 mm are used. - nuts one and a half inches G1 1/2 ″, for a pipe 32 mm. nuts two inches G2 ″.

It is worth noting that the manufacturer equips UPS pumps with nuts, which largely relieves the buyer from possible misunderstandings, such as buying nuts of unsuitable sizes. Recently, additions have been made to the grundfos pump casing - there are “sags”, it is convenient for them to hold the pump with a wrench.

Grundfos UPS pump with letter “A”

A special model is the Grundfos UPS pump with the letter “A”, in fact it is a hybrid of a circulation pump combined with an air separator. The model allows you to successfully separate the air contained in the water and remove it using an air vent.

The pump is installed in the direction of the flow of water flow from bottom to top. It should be borne in mind that the air vent itself is not included in the delivery set of the pumps and is sold as an accessory. The air vent is installed by screwing in, for this the housing is equipped with an Rp 3/8 “female thread.

Grundfos UPS pump, selection. Selection table.

If we want to choose the right Grundfos UPS circulation pump, first, we need to decide on such characteristics as head = H in meters, and flow = Q in cubic meters. Then you need to calculate how much heat will be needed to heat your area.

For this, a boiler with a capacity is initially selected based on the parameters of the house. The calculation is not easy, you will need the size of the area, you will have to take into account the number of radiators in the system, take into account the insulation of the house, decide on the installation of windows, ceiling heights, and so on and so forth. We advise that it is better to leave the calculation at the mercy of specialists and experienced installers.

As a result of the calculations, we will get the desired values, with the help of them, according to the graphs of the hydraulic curves, we select the pump. But for simplicity, you can use the pump selection table depending on the area of ​​the house. In addition, as we know, the Grundfos UPS pump has three speeds, with which we will adapt the pump to our system.

As you can see from the above table, for the owner of a two-story house with an area of ​​100-265 m2, a Grundfos UPS 32/40 or UPS 32/60 pump for heating is recommended in the presence of water heated floors. The decision to consult with your installers of the heating system is welcome, they know your system more accurately and, based on experience, will suggest the best size of the grundfos pump. You can also select a UPS pump based on the known boiler power according to the table below:

In this matter, the rule does not work - the more powerful the better, since an oversized pump in terms of hydraulic indicators, firstly, consumes more electricity, which leads to low energy efficiency. Secondly, the piping system can make noise, delivering significant discomfort to your household. In the video, the legendary pump Grundfos UPS 25-40 180.

Circulation pump Grundfos UPS 25-60

Purpose:

Grundfos UPS series 100 circulating pumps are glandless rotor and protected stator pumps in inline design, without gland seals, maintenance-free and equipped with opposing connections of the same nominal bore.Depending on the size, the pumps are supplied with both threaded pipe connections and connecting flanges for connecting to the pipeline. Flanged pumps are equipped with combination flanges in sizes PN 6 and PN 10. The pump, electric motor and capacity control system form a single unit, all elements of which are optimally matched to each other. The partition between the chamber with the rotor and the stator winding is a protective screen obtained by the deep drawing method, for sealing which only two stationary gaskets are used, one of which is installed in the housing, and the second is on the vent plug. Airlectric pumps are equipped with an air separator built into the casing, which must be supplied by the customer with a float-operated quick-acting vent valve so that it can continuously purge air from the pump and system. For pumping liquids with a high oxygen content, as well as for underfloor heating systems or cooling systems, pumps with a bronze casing are used.

Bearings, connections, minimum head Bearing material - cermet. It provides high hardness, high surface quality and resistance to corrosion, guaranteeing near-silent operation and long pump life. Through the holes in the pump shaft, trapped air is quickly discharged from the cavity of the protective shield. The special bearings of the UPS series 100 anti-lock shaft pump can reliably eliminate the risk of seizing even on small pumps. Additionally, an electronic torque amplifier optimizes the starting characteristics of pumps such as UPS 25-30, UPS 25-30A and UPS 32-30. Threaded spigot ISO 228 / I for pipe thread DIN 2999. Combination flange for counter flange PN 6 to DIN 2531 and PN 10 to DIN 2533. The minimum head that must be maintained in the pump suction port at a given temperature of the medium is from the table. Possible installation options for Grundfos 100 series circulating pumps All UPS 100 series circulating pumps with motors equipped with a protected stator must be mounted with the pump shaft in a horizontal position. Installation in vertical pipes should be preferred. They can only work in vertical pipelines with flow direction from bottom to top. Position of the terminal box The pump head with the terminal box fitted can rotate after the fixing screws have been removed. Therefore, depending on the installation conditions, the position of the terminal box can be changed. For pumps equipped with IP 44 motors, the terminal box can be installed in any position. For pumps equipped with motors of protection class IP 42, the terminal box must not be at the bottom when installing the pump. Medium and Ambient Temperature of Grundfos UPS Series 100 Pumps To avoid the formation of condensation water, the pump must always be operated at an ambient temperature lower than the temperature of the process fluid (water). Certificate of Compliance The pumps meet the requirements of the following EEC directives for mechanical engineering, electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage equipment; EN 292, EN 50081-1, EN 50 082-2, EN 60 335-1, EN 60 335-2-51. Drive The Grundfos UPS 100 series circulating pumps are equipped with a 2- or 4-pole squirrel cage induction motor. The design of the electric motor with the so-called "wet rotor". Electric motors can have either single-phase or three-phase connection to the network. UPS type pumps with an electric motor connected to a single-phase network have 3 speed stages, and pumps connected to a three-phase network have 2 stages. UP pumps operate at only one speed.Speed ​​changeover With Grundfos UPS series 100 submersible pumps, the speed stage can be changed over to the appropriate speed stage using a very easy-to-operate speed changeover switch mounted externally on the motor terminal box. Pump motor protection The motor windings of most Grundfos UPS Series 100 pumps are designed to withstand blocking currents, so motor protection is not required. More powerful electric motors connected to a single-phase network are equipped with built-in thermal contacts. Powerful motors connected to a three-phase network must be equipped with a circuit breaker. We ask you to select the appropriate type of motor protection in accordance with the parameters of the pump electrical equipment.

The main areas of application of the pumps:

• In heating systems, air conditioners, industrial installations for:
• two-pipe systems;
• one-pipe systems;
• underfloor heating systems;
• primary circuit or boiler circuit;
• an air heater or heat recovery heater circuit;
• accumulator circuit.
• In installations with a heating capacity of more than 50 kW and variable flow, it is recommended to use UPE pumps with automatic regulation or with an external speed control system in the water consumption function!

Technical data for the grundfos UPS pump are presented in the catalog in the documentation section. Below we propose to consider the summary field of hydraulic characteristics.

We want to give a rather trivial advice that it is better to buy a Grundfos UPS pump in a specialized store from an authorized dealer. There are many fakes in the markets where grundfos can be easily confused with low-quality manufacturers. Counterfeits of Grundfos UPS pumps are indistinguishable to non-experts, so be prudent and do not fall for the tricks of the crooks. The video highlights the typical differences between the original and the fake:

Grundfos takes care not only of promoting products on the market by expanding the dealer network, but also creates conditions for warranty support. When purchasing a Grundfos UPS pump, the customer can always count on technical support.

Summing up

The Danes have set a high trend in quality, the Grundfos pump has been at the forefront of the pedestal for many years.The scope of Grundfos equipment is extremely wide. Today we examined a household pump UPS, installed in order to increase the flow rate of the coolant, and faster delivery of hot medium to heating radiators.

However, do not forget about the optimal ratio of the speed of the coolant and the diameter of the pipeline system. High speed will cause hum, insufficient speed, freeze your household. If you are not sure that you can choose the right grundfos pump, it is better to use the help of a specialist.

In addition, grundfos pumping equipment is effectively used in the organization of hot water supply. The Grundfos pump will become an indispensable tool in the installation of water-filled floor heating systems. Grundfos pumps can often be found as part of finished boiler equipment; BAXI gas boilers are a prime example. It is difficult to imagine the functioning of central air conditioning and ventilation systems without a Grundfos pump.

As a tip, we add, it is better to tie a double-circuit boiler using a Grundfos Alpha pump. The demand for Grundfos Alpha pumps is growing strongly during installation activities for the installation of underfloor heating. Household series Grundfos UPS, less powerful, the circulation pump pushes the water column only 80 meters. For higher needs, there is the Grundfos MAGNA 3 range.

Circulation pump for heating and hot water systems UPS 25-40 Grundfos

Circulation pump - the most important element of a heating system or hot water supply. It forces the liquid to circulate in a closed loop, which increases heat transfer in the heating system. The pump also allows you to maintain a constant water temperature in the hot water supply system. The pump runs continuously, therefore very high requirements are imposed on it - simplicity and reliability, low power consumption, noiselessness. Grundfos UPS circulating pumps provide water circulation in heating and hot water supply systems, floor heating systems. They are small in size and weight, operate almost silently and consume little electricity. In application, the Grundfos UPS 100 pumps are convenient in that, depending on the need, using a simple and convenient switch, you can set the required engine speed (3 speeds).

• temperature range of the pumped-over liquid - from -25 ° С to + 110 ° С

Examples of power calculation and selection of UPS for circulation pumps

Let's calculate several options for pumps:

We believe that we are faced with the task of selecting sets for two options for autonomous operation time: 6-8 and 14-16 hours with continuous operation of the pump.

For the Grundfos Alpha2 L 32-60 (45 W) pump from our range, the following options for uninterruptible power supplies can be offered:

Uninterruptible power supply options for pumps Grundfos UPS 32-60 (60 W), Wilo Star RS15 / 6-130 (84 W) and UNIPUMP UPC32-60 (100 W):

The tables show uninterruptible power supply units for pumps that have proven themselves well in customer reviews and which we keep in stock on a permanent basis.

Now it remains to decide which option is most acceptable. It makes sense to take into account the duration of the warranty period, the availability of service centers in your region, the availability of space in the boiler room for installing the UPS and battery pack, the cost of the proposed equipment sets. Well, and like / dislike, in the end.
