We’re not ready…

everything you need to knoW about the euP

ecodesign directive for building services

…We’re WayaheadIn 2013 the euP directive is changing the standalone circulator market in europe forever. The 7 out of 10 installers who don’t choose energy-saving circulator pumps will no longer have a choice. This profoundly affects pump manufacturers – but not Grundfos, because as far as euP is concerned: – We’re noT ready… We’re Way ahead

The so-called “EuP Directive” was passed by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on July 6th, 2005. It establishes a framework of rules and criteria for setting requirements on the ecodesign of energy-using products (EuPs).

The directive’s goal is to reduce the environmental impact of energy-using products and support sustainable development.

Savings potential for circulators • Standalone: 13 TWh and 6.2 million tons of CO2

People and city equivalents• Total residential electricity consumption of 21,500,000 people • Total residential electricity consumption in Berlin, London, Brussels, Sofia, Paris, Rome,

Amsterdam, Warsaw, Copenhagen and Riga

Only the most efficient A-labelled pumps currently in usage conform to the EuP directive.

The ecodesign requirements for glandless standalone circulators (laid down in Commission Regulation No 641/2009 of 22 July 2009) will now be a part of the declaration of Conformity (CE). Without a CE mark, a product may not be sold within the EU.

The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) requirement will be EE1≤ 0.27 from 2013, and EE1≤ 0.23 from 2015. The current best-in-class benchmark for circulators is EE1≤ 0.20. This may become the requirement when the EuP directive is reviewed in 2017.

The energy-efficient pump leaderWe are already the leader in energy-efficient standalone circulators, we were among the first to mass-produce A-labelled pumps. Our ALPHA2 and MAGNA circulators are already EuP-ready and already installed around the globe.

Proven commitment and proven products – with more to comeUnlike other pump manufacturers, no legislation forced us to produce these pumps. We did it out of our commitment to sustainability and being responsible.

We already have the technology in place, refined and proven over years of development and real application. We could very reasonably say we already have the technology “perfected” but that is not how we think at Grundfos – continuous improvement is the basis of our pump design.

easy to install, impossible to beatThe ALPHA2’s exceptional power reduction was achieved using the latest permanent magnet motor technology.

In fact, thanks to its pressure-controlled operation, the ALPHA2 can run on as little as 5 watts. The unique AUTOADAPT feature allows the pump to match its performance to the system requirements.

• Variable and fixed speed operation – one pump for all jobs • Plug and Pump – no need to open terminal box • Power Display – shows actual power usage

one million+ producedIt has only been two-years since the first ALPHA2 rolled off the production line, but due to demand more than one million more have followed it. you can find ALPHA2s contributing to energy and cost savings in buildings around the world. Talk about being way ahead!

efficiency in every featureThanks to its unique ensemble of innovative features, MAGNA uses up to 70% less energy than other standalone circulators of its size. The MAGNA range includes a variety of sizes with models suitable for domestic and commercial heating or air conditioning applications.

The AUTOADAPT function is unique to Grundfos pumps. It automatically adapts a newly installed pump’s setting to the optimum duty point at the minimum power consumption. • night-setback function – reduces the speed and output in response to drops in

system temperature.• Stainless steel – ensures a longer valve and pump lifespan

and minimises corrosion. • In-slot winded stator – specifically designed to

optimise pump efficiency.

All MAGNA pumps come with electronic control and a super-efficient permanent-magnet motor. Like the ALPHA2, MAGNA pumps also have the unique Grundfos AUTOADAPT function delivering the best power/performance ratio. The entire range is of course A-labelled.

(Comfort continues after 2013/2015).• The UP range is non-compliant with EuP 2013 requirements

(UP will be discontinued by the end of 2012).• The ALPHA2 range is compliant with EuP 2013 and 2015 requirements

Ready or not, like it or not, the EuP directive will soon be fact. But its introduction has become the subject of a lot of fiction. Here are some of the most common misconceptions regarding 2013.

> fIcTIon vS facTS> THE EuP dIRECTIvE

fICTION fACTS

Grundfos currently has no euP-ready pumps.X

What’s the fuss? EuP is just A-labelling by another name, nothing really new. X

euP doesn’t come in until 2013, so there is no need to think about it yet.X

EuP is just legislative nonsense! You can’t really save energy just by changing circulators.X

Grundfos already has a portfolio of pumps that more than meet euP requirements – the first was introduced in 2001.

euP is similar to a-labelling, but much stricter. In fact only the most efficient a-labelled pumps currently available comply with euP. euP will also be enforced by legislation.

on the day that euP comes in, installers will choose the com-pliant pumps they know about and trust, so action now will ensure installers choose Grundfos.

Grundfos euP-ready standalone circulators use up to 80% less energy than some conventional models and cut off up to 10% of a household power bill.

Our drive to set new standards of efficiency and installation ease continues.

We refuse to accept that there are limits to how good a standalone circulator can possibly be. That is why we say we are Powered by the Impossible.
