Uponor has extended its Ecoflex Thermo VIP portfolio by introducing a 140mm high performance pipe which has been developed specifically to meet the requirements of the next generation of district heating projects.
Ecoflex Thermo VIP is a high performance pre-insulated pipe and is suited for local networks that run at low-temperature levels as well as district heating networks where high-water volumes are required to meet the latest design specification standards, including CIBSE CP1 2020.
The Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) technology provides heating and cooling networks with high insulation performance and a low lambda value.
“District heating networks are increasingly being seen as key to meeting our net zero target by 2050,” commented Mark Dowdeswell, Senior Category Manager at Uponor. “The addition of our 140mm Ecoflex Thermo VIP pipe is a real game changer as it helps future-proof district heating projects by enabling specifiers and contractors to meet the requirements for both 4th and 5th generation schemes.”
The new 140mm pipe is compatible with all other Uponor Ecoflex Thermo and Ecoflex Thermo VIP products.
