ADVERTORIAL
“AQUATHERM, redefining piping, heating & cooling as well as environmental protection” Architects, engineers, designers and building owners are often restricted to selecting pipes that are available on the market and not what will serve their purposes. These limitations come with future maintenance costs, pipe bursts and frequent pipe replacement. Piping System Planning In addition to ecological and economic factors, the following criteria must be considered when planning pipe systems:
• Insulation against energy loss or exposure to cold weather • Flow and flow noise • Longevity and reuse of the material
• Weight • Stability • Pipe roughness • Impact strength • Thermal conductivity • Corrosion resistance • Processing spans • Temperature ranges
Aquatherm Green Pipe The special composition of the Aquatherm-owned plastic fusiolen® PP-R makes the green pipe a specialist for use in potable water applications and is suitable for many other applications. Applications: • Potable water application (cold and hot water pipes) • Connection to heating and cooling • Heat pumps • Compressed air system • Swimming pool technology • Chemical transport (considering to chemical resistance) • Applications in shipbuilding • Underground supply networks • Pipelines in agriculture and horticulture Characteristics: • Suitable for potable water installations • Completely free of heavy metals • Has high environmental compatibility • High stability • Low weight • High impact rate • Less pipe roughness • Easy to process • Virtually leak free, homogeneous fusion welding • Heat and sound insulating characteristics and corrosionresistant Ecology and Sustainability The environmentally friendly and hygienically enhanced potable water system from Aquatherm is physiologically and microbiologically harmless.
