Grundfos Pumps in Industrial Temperature Control

Introduction

Grundfos industrial temperature control products offer solutions to enhance safety and improve efficiency in heating and cooling systems. The right pumps and equipment can reduce both operational and lifecycle costs and maximize the power of industrial heating and cooling.

Industrial Heating

Industrial process heat refers to the use of thermal energy to produce, treat, or alter manufactured goods. Industrial heating applications have challenging requirements, from very high ongoing temperatures to delicate processes that require extreme precision.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy , “process heat is the most significant source of energy use in the industrial sector, accounting for about 50% of all onsite energy use...” When it comes to increasing the efficiency of industrial heating, pumps designed to meet the application requirements are a key component of the overall system.

Industrial Cooling

Industrial applications rely on the efficient transfer of heat, and industrial cooling systems are essential for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of various industrial processes. These systems are designed to remove heat from industrial processes and equipment to ensure that they operate within safe temperature limits.

Grundfos supplies efficient, reliable pumps and systems for a broad range of cooling applications and for OEM cooling units.

Intelligent Temperature Control Systems

Often in industrial heating and cooling applications, pumps operate either at full speed or with speed control at too high for differential pressure. One option to reduce losses in the system is a Grundfos iSOLUTIONS temperature monitoring and control system. These intelligent systems use variable frequency drive pumps operating directly at temperature control, saving energy and costs.

Grundfos offers a complete portfolio of products that deliver system intelligence to maximize the safety and efficiency of your heating and cooling:

• innovative controllers
• integrated frequency converters
• silent-running variable-speed pumps

A Grundfos system helps minimize both running and life-cycle costs. By combining intelligent and energy-efficient e-pumps with Grundfos iSOLUTIONS, energy use can be reduced by as much as 40% in cooling applications. In addition, Grundfos tailored pump solutions ensure safe operation at all times, even when circulating difficult fluids or flammable liquids.

Grundfos Pumps for Industrial Heating & Cooling

Circulator Pumps

A temperature-controlled water pump is used in circulating systems without control valves to generate a variable flow, and also used in systems where it is important to have a constant temperature. Grundfos circulator pumps are designed for best-in-class efficiency for heating and hot water recirculation. These pumps are known for low maintenance, noise-free performance, and reduced energy consumption compared to conventional recirculators.

Inline Single Stage

Grundfos TP/TPE pumps are a robust and reliable range of vertical single stage inline pumps used in industrial temperature control. The TP/TPE family of pumps are close-coupled (i.e., pump and motor are separate) pumps with constant to variable speed options. With the most efficient motors on the market, these pumps are an efficient choice for heating and cooling industrial processes./p>

End Suction

Several Grundfos end-suction pump models are recommended for industrial heating and cooling. These centrifugal pumps operate with suction coming in from one side of the unit and water discharging from the top. Both close coupled and long coupled options are available. The VL and VLS series are recommended where applications require a vertical mount for the smallest footprint.

Horizontal Split-Case

Grundfos KP horizontal split-case pumps are single-stage, non-self-priming, between bearing, centrifugal volute pumps. High efficiency and low lifecycle cost make KP pumps ideal for industrial temperature control.
