Hiline Copper - Rigid Pre-insulated Copper Pipe System

Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 253, this rigid, bonded pre-insulated copper pipe system is suitable for district heating, cooling and potable water applications – efficiently operating at temperatures up to 120°C continuous. Available in dimensions ranging from 15mm to 159mm OD and supplied in 6 metre lengths.
The list of applications that are suitable for the Hiline Rigid Polymer pre-insulated pipe system is vast, but typically, it is used above and below-ground, on domestic, commercial and industrial sites for conveying:
Pre-insulated pipes and fittings for thermal utilities are manufactured within an ISO 9001 accredited environment in accordance with EN 253, EN 448, EN 488, EN 489, EN 13941
Copper pipe in accordance with EN 1057 - Cu-DHP, R250 and R290. Options available for:
For underground works and heavy duty requirements including hot and cold water supply, gas reticulation, sanitary plumbing, heating and general engineering. or
For above ground applications including drinking water, hot and cold water systems, sanitation, central heating, and other general purpose applications.
Properties· Suitable for district heating schemes· Operating temperatures up to 120°C (subject to pressure & service life parameters)· Peak temperature for short periods 130°C
A key component in the efficiency of the Hiline pipe systems is our choice of CFC-free polyurethane foam to provide excellent levels of insulation – in accordance with the demands of the EN 253 standard. Using cyclopentane as the blowing agent, we achieve very-low lambda levels – which result in much-reduced energy losses to the media being conveyed by the service pipe. The effects of using a more efficient insulation don’t appear to be much at face value, but factor in a 30-year life-cycle cost of operating the system and the savings – both financial and environmental – mount up significantly. When looking at the life-cycle-costs of a district heating pipe network, the initial capital investment is typically around ten percent – with the biggest cost being the on-going operation.
