2.1 The GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L circulator pump

2.2 Advantages of installing a GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L.

2.1 The GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L circulator pump

The GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L circulator pump is designed for the

circulation of water in heating systems.

Install the GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L in

• underfloor heating systems

• one-pipe systems

• two-pipe systems.

GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L incorporates a permanent-magnet motor and

differential-pressure control enabling continuous adjustment of the pump

performance to the actual system requirements.

GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L has a user-friendly front-mounted control panel.

See 6. Control panel and 14. Features.

2.2 Advantages of installing a GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L

The installation of a GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L means

easy installation and start-up

• GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L is easy to install.

With the factory setting, the pump can, in most cases, be started

without making any settings.

high degree of comfort

• Minimum noise from valves, etc.

low energy consumption

• Low energy consumption compared to conventional circulator pumps.

Energy efficiency index (EEI)

• The Ecodesign directive for energy-using (EuP) and energy-related

products (ErP) is EU legislation requiring manufacturers to reduce the

overall environmental impact of their products.

• Circulator pumps will be EuP-ready and comply with the requirements

as from 2015.

3.1 System types

Fig. 2 Pumped liquids and operating conditions

GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L is suitable for

• systems with constant or variable flows where it is desirable to

optimise the setting of the pump duty point

• systems with variable flow-pipe temperature.

3.2 Pumped liquids

Clean, thin, non-aggressive and non-explosive liquids, not containing

solid particles, fibres or mineral oil. See fig. 2.

In heating systems, the water should meet the requirements of accepted

standards on water quality in heating systems, e.g. the German standard

VDI 2035.

Arrows on the pump housing indicate the liquid flow direction through the

pump.

See 12.2 Installation dimensions, GRUNDFOS ALPHA2 L XX-40, XX-45,

XX-50, XX-60.

1. Fit the two gaskets supplied when the pump is mounted in the pipe.

See fig. 3, pos. A.

2. Install the pump with the motor shaft horizontal. See fig. 3, pos. B.

4.3 Changing the control box position

The control box can be rotated in steps of 90 °.

Possible/permissible positions and the procedure of changing the position

of the control box are illustrated in fig. 4, pos. A.

Procedure:

1. Slacken and remove the four hexagon-socket head screws holding the

pump head with a tee key (M4).

2. Turn the pump head to the desired position.

3. Insert and cross-tighten the screws.

Warning

The pumped liquid may be scalding hot and under high pressure!

Drain the system or close the isolating valves on either side of the

pump before the screws are removed.

Caution

When the position of the control box has been changed, fill the

system with the liquid to be pumped or open the isolating valves.

4.4 Insulation of pump housing

Fig. 5 Insulation of pump housing

The heat loss from the pump and pipework can be reduced by insulating

the pump housing and the pipe. See fig. 5.

As an alternative, polystyrene insulation shells can be ordered from

Grundfos. See 15. Accessories.

Note

Limit the heat loss from the pump housing and pipework.

Caution

Do not insulate the control box or cover the control panel.
