Designed to deliver efficient performance, our leading pumping solutions optimise boiler feed systems, rapidly responding to changes in steam demand, maintaining constant water levels, and integrating seamlessly with existing systems. Empower your customers with solutions that simplify complexity and maximise operational efficiency across the value chain.
Help your customers with optimised boiler feed systems
In any steam boiler application, it’s crucial to maintain a constant water level in the boiler drum so you can create a stable surface and ensure stable steam generation. While a motorised feed valve will enable your customers to maintain constant feeding, you need to deliver very accurate equipment to ensure optimal performance. As regulation also needs to be carried out within a critically narrow window, you need fast, smooth responses to changes in operating conditions, which can present costly challenges.
Our boiler feed pumping solutions deliver steady steam production, fast responses to changes in steam consumption, stable water levels, precise chemical dosing and energy savings. So you can help your customers ensure their boiler feed systems perform as intended – no matter the space, heating or connectivity requirements.

How intelligent pumps contribute to reducing carbon emissions towards net zero
We have prepared a whitepaper showing why our sustainability approach is attractive for companies as a part of their business model. Significant energy savings, improved reliability and better system performance are just a few advantages mentioned that contribute towards reducing carbon emissions. Find out how you too can achieve this.

Our recommended selection for boiler feed applications
TPE
- High-efficiency in-line pump powered for demanding environments, high flow and low-pressure applications.
- Available in cast iron or stainless steel (1.4408 and 1.4517).
- Reduced life cycle cost and reduced CO2 emission by adapting to the actual demand in application.
- Optimised for industrial heating applications, with control algorithms for delta-temp and delta-pressure included
CR & CUE
- Multistage pump and external VFD sold together for a constant water level
- Hydraulic efficiency, optimal motor utilisation, minimised pressure loss and lower NPSH.
- The CR adapts automatically to system changes, which ensures a stable process thanks to the connection to an external VFD.
- High reliability, as the CUE automatically protects the pump from running outside the pump‘s operating range, combined with automatic protection against stress and overload.
- Wide range of flows up to 320 m3/h and 40 bar working pressure; CUE up to 560kW variants available.
CRE
- The Grundfos CREs stand for proven quality, serving dedicated heating applications for five decades.
- Intelligent direct boiler feed pump with a high-efficiency IE5 permanent magnet motor.
- Built-in frequency converter, optimised motor sizing, stable pump curve for perfect level control and low NPSH requirements.
- The motor features a graphical display for easy set-up, an overview of operation parameters, energy consumption, operating hours, and alarms and faults.
- BUS modules available such as Modbus, Profibus, and Ethernet IP. Remote motoring is also an option.
- Reduced life cycle cost and reduced CO2 emission by adapting to the actual demand in application – combined with the highest possible efficiency on pump and motor.
CME
- CME is a reliable, quiet, and compact horizontal end-suction pump with an integrated frequency converter and intelligent features. Its modular pump design makes it easy to create customised solutions.
- Reduces lifecycle costs and CO2 emissions by adapting to application demands.
- Great compactness without compromising pump performance, and a flexible range of connections that ensure the customer can use them in their own systems.
- Highest possible efficiency for pump and motor – IE5 classification and advanced control modes available
- All relevant sensors can be pre-fitted with CMEs.
NBE/NKE
- The Grundfos close-coupled (NBE), and long-coupled (NKE) end-suction pumps are our solutions for high-flow and low-pressure applications.
- Available in cast iron or stainless steel (1.4408 and 1.4517).
- Reduced life cycle cost and reduced CO2 emission by adapting to the actual demand in application.
- Optimised for temperature control, NBE & NKE ranges are suitable to operate under demanding conditions.
CONTROL MPC
- Control MPC is a class-leading multi-pump controller that is easy to set up. It will minimise energy consumption and cut energy costs, setting the standard for efficiency.
- Energy savings - by always ensuring the most optimal number of pumps are running based on power, simple setup – self-learning system that works on all pump types by testing sequences of operations.
- POPS algorithm (Power Optimal Pump Sequencing) makes it possible to do a test run of the number of pumps you have to make sure that you operate with the absolute best efficiency all the time.
- Easy SCADA integration provides systems insights, not only on alarms but also performance of the system.
DDA
- Accurate, reliable and with smarter dosing
- High precision and smooth continuous dosing
- Saves money on equipment costs
- Easy set-up and operation with built-in system diagnostics
- Best-in-class in handling gaseous chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite & hydrogen peroxide
- Intuitive controls and simple menu with backlit display
- FCM with integrated flow meter and pressure switch for full system measurement
Sensors
- Grundfos produces high quality and reliable sensors, flowmeters and differential pressure transmitters quality to limit downtime and provide accurate data.
- Complexity reduction in sourcing your pumping and sensors/metering equipment from one vendor.
- Provide Grundfos Direct Sensors for customised solutions and differentiate your offering to your customers.
- Suitable for a wide temperature range (-30 to +110 °C).
- Tying in Grundfos sensors with our electronic pumps can enable Grundfos iSOLUTIONS and reduce components and labour costs and provide more efficient, environmentally responsible and sustainable systems.
Our speed-regulated E-pumps, digitally enabled solutions and optimisation services are at the heart of these plans. Available for almost all processes found in industry, these solutions make it possible for you to:
- Get immediate savings – on average 37%2 with an E-pump compared with a standard pump – from lower energy consumption and optimised processes
- Achieve emissions reduction without compromising reliability – an essential requirement in many factory processes
