Urban district heating systems with Flexalen SL
Flexalen SL was specifically developed for large-scale applications in urban district heating and cooling networks with all the benefits of Flexalen for large volumes. The Flexalen SL pre-insulated pipe consists of:
- Polybutene (PB-1) medium pipe: a flexible polyolefin material that assures quick and reliable assembly, 50 year lifetime, while being the best in class for pressure and temperature rating as well as energy efficiency.
- PE-based polyolefin foam for diameters OD 63 to 125mm, which minimizes the risk of water absorption due to its hydrophobic and closed cell structure. This ensures the insulation properties of Flexalen 600 are safeguarded over a long product lifetime.
- Polyurethane (PUR) insulation for diameters OD 125 to 225mm, offering a high insulation value which results in significant energy savings.
- Smooth High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) casing to protect the pipe against any risk of outside damage.
