Description
PS24are pleased to supply RAUVITHERM Cool pre-insulated header pipes for Ground Source Heat Pumps from REHAU. Underground pre-insulated pipes are used to connect the renewable heat source to the buildings on site. The pre-insulated pipes are designed to maintain the water temperature when in transit (avoiding heat losses to improve energy efficiency). Using the cutting edge Rauvitherm production technology, REHAU have developed the RAUVITHERM Cool pipe system specifically for low temperature renewable applications such as ground source heat pumps.
It is important to insulate header pipes for ground source heat pumps to avoid transmission between flow and return in narrow trenches. This is typically required between the manifold and the building. The RAUVITHERM Cool carrier pipe is SDR 11 PE 100 pipe, made to BS EN 12201, which can be used with SDR 11 electrofusion couplers.
To improve flexibility, RAUVITHERM Cool has an optimised pipe composition to improve handling on site. The pipe is available in 40 UNO, 50 UNO and 63 UNO, the most common sizes used in ground source header pipes.
