Product catalog summary
System Description
  • General: The FLEXWELL district heating cable is engineered for transporting district heat and domestic hot water, ensuring high security and reliability in challenging ground conditions. It allows for thinner pipe ditches and shorter construction periods.
  • Range of Applications: The cable operates within a temperature range of -170°C to +150°C and can withstand an operating pressure of PN 25 bar.
  • Components: The system includes a medium pipe, thermal insulation, CrNi steel casing, anti-corrosion protection, and a PE-LD protective casing.
Planning and Design Engineering
  • Pressure Loss Chart: Provides data on pressure loss per meter at various water temperatures and flow rates.
  • Heat Losses: Details heat loss values for different pipe types at various operating temperatures.
Components
  • T-joint: Available with standard or welded connectors depending on pressure levels.
  • Through Connections: Various types and pressure ratings (PN 16 and PN 25) with specific dimensions and structures.
  • Connectors: Different versions for PN 16 and PN 25, with detailed structures and materials.
  • Wall Leadthrough: Specifications for sealing and installation through walls.
  • House Entry Bend: Dimensions and structure for entry bends into buildings.
Underground Construction and Installation
