REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS
Suitable refrigeration solutions
Whether you want to bring a server room to a normal temperature or refrigerate food, beverages or pharmaceuticals – we will work with you to find a suitable solution for the piping of the refrigerant circuits in refrigeration systems. Our aquatherm blue pipe made of corrosion-resistant and diffusion-tight polypropylene is a specialist for the transport of cooling media in closed systems and is therefore particularly suitable for various applications. In the pre-insulated version for underground installation, it is ideally suited for transporting cooling water over longer distances. Thanks to the aquatherm prefabrication, manifolds and special components can be shipped ready for installation to any place in the world.

Free cooling
Common problem with open recooling circuits:
- strong corrosion due to strong oxygen enrichment in the cooling water
- severe corrosion due to chemical additives in the cooling water
Compression chillers for industrial refrigeration
Common problem with compression chillers:
- increasing incrustation of steel pipes
- therefore increased energy consumption and costs
Compression chillers for comfort cooling
Common problem with open recooling circuits:
- strong corrosion due to strong oxygen enrichment in the cooling water
- severe corrosion due to chemical additives in the cooling water
Product advantages
aquatherm blue pipe

PROCESSING
aquatherm pipes and fitting are connected by heat fusion. In the process, the plastic fuses into a homogeneous, cohesive unit. Double material thickness at the connection point – this means double safety at the otherwise critical point of a piping system. With the fusion technique of aquatherm you quickly create a permanently tight connection!
Depending on the dimension, pipes and fittings are joined by the heating element socket welding process, the butt welding process or the electro socket welding process.
