| Use advice for data set | Scope: The declaration applies to 1 piece of MAGNA3 (Cast iron) pump. The product is produced in Wahlstedt, Germany, and the life cycle assessment is based on data collected at the production site. Production has been modeled using annual production data from 2022. The declaration covers the following MAGNA3 products with cast iron pump house: MAGNA3 25-40/60/80/100/120 (threaded), MAGNA3 32-40/60/80/100/120 (threaded), MAGNA3 32-40/60/80/100 F (flanged), MAGNA 3 40-40/60 F (flanged). System boundary: This EPD is Cradle-To-Grave and Module D. The system boundaries of the EPD follow the modular approach in EN 15804. Production and installation (A1-A5) Modules A1-A3 refer to the product stage and includes raw materials extraction and processing, transportation, and the manufacturing process. The product stage is included in this study, and according to EN 15804:2019 + A2 the system boundary with nature is set to include those processes that provide the material and energy inputs into the system and the following manufacturing, transport up to the factory gate as well as the processing of waste arising from those processes. The assembly of the product, as well as the packaging, are also included in A1-A3. Wastes and losses are included in the modules where they occur according to the polluter pays principle and the modular approach of EN 15804:2019+A2 Module A4 regards the transportation from the production site to the regional distribution centre, and finally to the construction and product application site. Module A5 refers to the installation process of the pump including the transportation of packaging waste to the treatment site and the waste treatment of packaging. The use of energy during installation is negligible for the selected functional unit. Use stage (B1-B7): In this study, all use stage modules are assessed, though B1, B2 and B7 are assessed to be zero. By decision no. 20170712-n of the SVR, the modules B3, B4 and B5 are by default declared as "MNR" (module not relevant). Contributions to operational energy use during the use stage (B6) come from the electricity consumption of the product. The annual electricity consumption is calculated by multiplying the average power input, which is based on a defined load profile, with the annual running hours. For use stage (B6) European Average electricity grid mix has been used. These values are declared in the scenarios section. The End-of-Life stage (C1-C4) The End-of-Life stage (C1-C4) Modules C1-C4 refer to the End-of-life stage. A product reaches the end-of-life of its service life when it no longer provides any functionality. This life cycle stage includes all activities from the end-of-life of the control valve until all materials and components are processed, reused, recycled, or disposed of.C1 regards the dismantling of the pump, and this module is a manual activity. C2 regards the transport to waste processing, C3 refers to the processing (shredding) of waste for recycling, and C4 refers to waste disposal: landfilling and incineration. The End-of-Life assumption is that 95 % is collected as electronic waste, while 5 % goes to landfill. The specific amounts are shown in the scenarios section. Beyond system boundary (D): Module D refers to the burdens and benefits beyond the system boundaries. According to EN15804:A2+2019, module D includes the reuse, recovery and/or recycling potentials, expressed in net impacts and benefits. Contributions to module D come from waste incineration processes in A5 and C4 as well as material (metal) recycling in C3. The specific fractions and net flows are shown in the scenarios section. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | For the application and use the respective national provisions apply. The pump is designed for circulating liquids in the following systems: · heating systems · air-conditioning and cooling systems · ground-source heat-pump systems · solar-heating systems The pump is suitable for thin, clean, non-aggressive and non-explosive liquids, not containing solid particles or fibres that may attack the pump mechanically or chemically. In heating systems, the water must meet the requirements of accepted standards on water quality in heating systems. The pumps are also suitable for domestic hot-water systems. | ||

| General comment on data set | The Grundfos MAGNA3 circulator pumps are designed for circulating liquids in heating systems, air conditioning and cooling systems and domestic hot water systems. However, the pump range can also be used in ground source heat pump systems and solar heating systems. The MAGNA3 pump is a centrifugal pump powered by an electrical motor. It has a high-performance neodymium magnet rotor which increases motor efficiency and an insulation shell to reduce heat loss from the cast iron pump housing with threaded or flanged connections. The declaration represents a weighted average of MAGNA3 pumps with identical control box and motor/pump head. The size of the pump housing distinguishes the different pumps, indicated in the first numbers: 25 (threaded), 32 (threaded), 32 F (flanged), 40 F (flanged). The average is defined based on sales volumes. Materials as well as supply chain and manufacturing processes are identical, i.e., all cradle to gate processes (A1-A3). The packaging is the high runner type for the included products. The products are also identical in terms of distribution, reference service life and end-of-life treatment. Another thing that differentiates the products from each other is the software which controls how the pump operates in the system in which it is installed, making them fit for different applications. This is indicated in the second numbers: 40, 60, 80, 100, 120. Hence, the use stage module B6 will change, as the applied scenarios for electricity consumption changes. | ||
