A high-performance pipe designed to significantly improve the energy efficiency levels of heating systems has been launched by Uponor, total solutions provider of systems for the safe transportation of water around a building.
Ecoflex VIP Thermo has been specially designed to minimise the heat and energy losses of local and district heating networks. The new pipe achieves this thanks to its unique hybrid design which delivers up to 48% lower heat loss compared to unbonded pipes, and 34% compared to bonded pipes.
Ecoflex VIP Thermo is also highly flexible, durable and reliable. With up to 60% less bending force compared to alternative solutions, Ecoflex VIP Thermo can be navigated around obstacles or laid across bumpy ground without requiring additional connections. This minimises potential weak points that could lead to leaks and makes it ideal for retrofit projects and for heat networks in built up areas.
