Confident insulation
Efficient cooling processes are characterised by reliable installations and no maintenance times, zero system interruptions, and no energy loss. Choosing the right piping system can have a significant impact on these factors.
Cooling systems for industrial refrigeration, process cooling and HVAC consume large amounts of energy to maintain a constant system temperature. Selecting the appropriate piping system to support the cooling circuit is of utmost importance for operators who aim for an efficient and reliable cooling process. What should you consider in particular?
The two most important factors are the material and the insulation. With conventional metal installations, the risk of condensation and subsequent corrosion is exceptionally high. This risk also occurs to systems that have been post-insulated. The insulation material can be damaged during installation. Small gaps between the piping system and the insulation layer can occur and allow ice formation due to condensation and subsequent corrosion. In addition, post-insulation requires an extra work step.

Confident installation
One of the most significant benefits of COOL-FIT is the safe, simple, and fast installation by electrofusion. This jointing technology allows jointing within seconds
In electrofusion, wires built into the fitting are locally heated through electric current, which causes the melting and fusion of the surrounding material. This joining technology ensures a secure and reliable connection. In combination with a pre-insulated fitting with sealing lip, continuous insulation is also guaranteed. Once the components are assembled and secured against dislocation, the installation can be connected to the electrofusion unit. From there, the unit takes over and gives step-by-step instructions on the process. The fusion itself only takes seconds, and the welding indicator indicates its success. All welding data is stored on the welding device and is available for documenting the project.
Extreme efficiency
COOL-FIT leads the way when it comes to energy-efficient cooling and helps you to work in a more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient manner.
The number of air conditioners in Europe will double by 2030, which leaves our industries with the challenge of rising energy demand.
