The Grundfos TP80-160/2 is a direct coupled, single-stage, in-line centrifugal pump with a mechanical shaft seal and the world-renowned IE3 as its standard motor. Grundfos- Blueflux motors are among the most efficient motors available, and are engineered for maximum efficiency at both full and part-capacity. Since it maintains a very high level of efficiency over a broad range of operations, it is ideal for an array of applications. The TP 80-160/2 is a top-pull-out design, meaning the pump head (which includes the motor, motor stool and impeller) can be detached without interfering with the pump housing-s pipework. This simplifies the routine service work needed to maintain the performance of these pumps, enabling a single person to service even the largest pumps. The Grundfos TP series pumps are specifically designed for the circulation of liquids in heating and air-conditioning systems. Typical applications for this cast iron pump include: district heating/cooling, industrial cooling/processes, general water supply, boiler/hydronic heating, chilled water, air conditioning systems, cooling towers, radiant floor heating, solar and snow melt systems.
