Two systems are offered, each of which locates leaks with pinpoint accuracy by passing on signals and automatically reports them to the central monitoring unit. The system from Brandes GmbH – a system supplier and service provider for over 50 years for early moisture detection and leak detection in pipes, among other things – is installed in the insulation of the piping system. In the system from the manufacturer Wideco, which has been on the market since 1982 and secures more than 40,000 km of transmission and distribution networks around the world with its products, the sensors are located directly on the pipe. Both systems enable early detection of leaks before they lead to property or environmental damage, business interruptions and high repair costs.
Pre-insulated piping solutions
With leakage monitoring, aquatherm rounds off its portfolio in the field of the aquatherm energy piping system. This consists of pre-insulated polypropylene pipes as well as fittings and joints. All medium pipes and fittings used for aquatherm energy are made of the material fusiolen PP-R/PP RCT. These are insulated with PUR foam and enclosed with an HDPE casing pipe. The system is the solution for many different heat and cold liquid distribution applications, including heating and cooling networks, water distribution, geothermal energy, swimming pool technology, open space cooling, refrigeration, open space heating and air conditioning. The advantages of the system are particularly evident as an oxygen-tight variant: Thanks to a special coating, no oxygen gets into the water, which could lead to corroded pumps or valves. Corrosion of the pipe itself – whether from the inside or outside – is excluded by the material polypropylene.
aquatherm is the world’s leading manufacturer of plastic piping systems made of polypropylene for plant construction and building services. Areas of application include drinking water applications, heating system construction, fire protection sprinkler systems, air conditioning and refrigeration technology as well as surface heating and cooling systems. The range comprises more than 17,000 articles in six product lines.
In order to guarantee the worldwide availability of the products and to offer local service, aquatherm works closely together with long-term partners in more than 70 countries around the globe. The company employs about 500 people in Germany, Italy, England, USA and Canada. Production takes place exclusively at the German sites in Attendorn (headquarters), Radeberg and Ennest. Therefore, customers all over the world can rely on innovative and safe PP-R piping systems of the highest quality “100% Made in Germany”. Today, the family business is managed by Maik Rosenberg and Jan Kriedel.
